I have to depend on others for everything & the aide I can depend on for shipping only comes most Thursdays or Fridays so I can only do it then, if neither of us has an appointment that interferes, etc. For instance, one of my aides' mom just died, so she was out for a few days to deal with that. You will get your stuff -- it just takes time to do things with all my problems.

Tell me about it. I try to charge right around what it costs me, & I will adjust it & possibly go with fixed rate & in'ntl as I get some experience. I already know Ill combine what I can & di fixed rate when possible & refund when I can. It's still comparable to gas to the tore. not to mention the hassle. I'm making it up as I go. So you're experimenting as much as I am. We're both GUINEA PIGS The good news is that if I'm feeling good that week I'll throw in a few extra thing, especially if it can't be listed easily. Plus if you've paid more than $7 I"ll use foat rate shipping if I can & refund if you've paid more.

Believe whatever you like. If it makes you happy to uncover another Internet fraud, here's a plate of Internet cookies & all our base belong to you, and we bow to your supreme superiority, & thanks for the assumption that the rest of us have nothing better to do.

a) sometimes I accidentally bought extras; b) for some like quilt panels I got multiples for the charity quilts I used to make.

Shipping is outrageous, so every bit of that is genuinely shipping, not $$ for me; I can't swear any specific portion will pay medical costs, but if you know anyone disabled you know almost every bill is usually medically related. My shower safety pole is rusted through,so that's one of the first things to do. Years ago a freak accident of meds & virus made me legally blind & brain injured. Basically how a drunk will be all over & unable to write or anything like scratch an itch is every minute for me. I couldn't face my beloved sewing room for years, but had to accept that my hobbies are curtailed. I have new & barely used stuff priceless to like-minded people that would be junked by anyone disposing my estate, so I decided to do what I could to get these items to those who can appreciate them. I wish I could use them (excuse a moment of pity-party sobbing over much-loved stuff now useless to me) but tho my doctor is unbearably optimistic about recovering, 10 years with no sign of improvement means I'd like to find new homes for my things.

I have a lot of 1-of-a-kind thing so it takes forever to photograph, measure, weigh, & list each item. I keep finding more stuff, too, & figuring out how to deal with stuff that seems too light or small to ship alone.

Nope. You have to have the virus, several high-octane drugs for rare diseases, & conditions that I've managed to caution doctors to avoid. And my reward for advancing medical science is getting to pay extra for things. yay.

I paid tax when I got the stuff so it's already been taxed.

a) you have no idea how much stuff there is; b) thanks to modern sewing machines with needle threaders, lots of light, & very specific accommodations I can do a little "sewing" & machine embroidery, sort of. It's not pretty.

I know.. I'm working on better ones. It's impossible to do justice to how good the things actually are.

3 cats who sometimes wander past; otherwise non-smoking & usual fabric dye / additive stuff.

I have a Husqvarna Viking Ruby, a Babylock Sofia, a low end Brother (all low shank) & an Ovation serger; KMs of Passap DM80, ISM, & a Brother with ribber / garter bar & punchcard reader.

in 2024 we have 3. Trixie & Pippa are sisters I think we got in 2016(?) as a rescue. Allegedly their barn cat mother disappeared & a woman. who really wanted cats had them a while. However her husband hates cats & made her restrict them to a largish cage in s closed off room. So they sought a more appropriate home & we were willing though a state away. They arrived about months old, have never been separated, & are very cuddly. Trixie loves to find new textures to lay on; Pippa took the role of Head Box Inspector (a friend calls boxes "cat traps") & loves to play with floss picks. I have a sealskin leather thimble a friend brought me from Alaska they steal every chance they get. Remy came in 2019 from a short-term aide, He is very fluffy & his tail is outrageous. Luckily they took to each other right away & are best buddies. In fact, Pippa let Remy "Nurse" on her until he outgrew it, to comfort him. All 3 know the wheelchair I use is a hazard to their tails, but think it's great I always have a lap & don't hesitate to hop up. Trixie & Remy also just lay on the empty chair
