We're to cooler weather now, good for getting out to mow, walk dogs, and more. So I need to resume more physical activity. Today is a modified fast day (500 calories only in the middle of the day).

Did some tidying on Susan's thread - and I sent a PM about that.

Rumncoke, what is your husband listing? I've never seen an upper limit on postage, if you use the eBay calculator and plug in the numbers. Some you can't ship via one service or another if they're too large or too heavy. I have my chandelier set to ship via UPS because USPS won't take a parcel that large.

My listing from yesterday (where I shifted from auction to buy-it-now and "free" shipping) sold overnight to someone in the next town. I don't hand-deliver; I did it once and it was a waste of time and gas. It all goes in the mail. So the next few auctions expire I'll shift them to buy-it-now also.

I need to do a vacuum of the entire house, to determine if there are any more ant corners. Vacuum, spritz with DE and that usually takes care of it. Sometimes going outside and adding a few puffs to the garden or wall there discourages further travel through the walls.

My ex told me about a place that cleans Persian carpets. I need to call a friend who sells antiques who also told me about a place, and see if it is the same place, or decide between the two - and finally get one of my three very old carpets over to see what they can do. It's a start.
