Daniel – I wouldn’t thrift it. We sold some plastic ones for big bucks, even with some of the teeth broken. I would guess it’s for weaving something too.
I too joined back in the late 90’s and sold a few things. It was such a hassle though and I always seemed to lose money on shipping. One thing I sold, about 13 yeas ago, was a Dr. Who scarf that my mom had made for me a long time ago and that I had worn for years in those cold Chicago winters.

A friend of mine was a massive abuser of Target and JCPenney’s liberal return policy and they shut her down. I mean she would return clothes to JCP that her kid had worn out and outgrown and they took it back. She even returned drapes that had hung in her house for years. (Of course I didn’t approve.)

https://www.ebay.com/itm/11236899243305/24/2018 at 2:07 pm in reply to: File Exchange v. Wonder Lister/Six Bit/Other eCommerce Management Platform #40932Marjean28 – can I just say, as someone who buys clothes off ebay, that 4 photos isn’t enough for me. Heck sometimes there’s even two tags, and they are double sided. The problem I see with many listings is they don’t get any close ups to show texture, details, etc… Just my 2 cents.
Haven’t watched the show but absolutely hated the book. I have the audiobook since my commute is a long one. I remember when the book came out around…. late 80’s and a co-worker telling me about it. Elizabeth Moss was great in Mad Men though.
@Inglewood – it’s good to know that you have food on hand in case of emergencies, power outages, layoffs, etc.
Nope, no idea. However, the metal building we bought to house our ebay stuff costs us about $60 a month to heat & cool with the mini-split! LOL

https://www.ebay.com/itm/112429523996Yes, we just had a repair man come out ($85) for a diagnosis and he said we might as well buy a new one because repair could be anywhere from $300 to $600+. So I guess this freezer will end up in a landfill. ARGH!
We’re going to take out the shelves and use them elsewhere or maybe sell them, but can’t really part out much else since we don’t know what’s wrong with it. What a waste.
Is it just me or does Griff seem crazy confrontational?
@Luntmentsh – Freezers, argh! I swear the new ones are made very badly. Our 10 year old upright Frigidaire freezer recently went belly-up (in the basement) and we didn’t notice until the smell was… I figure we lost about $1000 worth of food. And the freezer was $900 to begin with so maybe you’re right about it not being worth it. We had been buying whole local organic grass-fed beeves so it made sense then, but we might not bother anymore. Funnily enough, the freezer has an “alarm” on it that didn’t alarm us at all since it still thought the inside was 0 degrees. POS!
The gyro meat is baked first, then chilled, sliced and browned/grilled right before eating. Here’s a link to the recipe.
https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/258848/american-gyros/?internalSource=hub%20recipe&referringContentType=search%20results&clickId=cardslot%204We’ve tried to do meal planning but the plan always goes awry. Usually because something makes more or fewer servings than we figured on. Then you’ve got leftovers so the plan flies out the window. We still manage to eat 95% home-cooked meals though. I recently made gyros, pita and tzatziki all from scratch (thanks to Chef John of foodwishes.com), and it was so dang good. It’s so hard to find decent gyros where I live now and was missing them. We’re really frugal too, on a day to day basis, but then splash out on things like Trex decking!
