Facebook is what you make of it. My wife and I share an account. We only have like 50 “friends”. Any family or acquaintances that are not value adding aren’t on there. Noone can friend request us unless they are already friends with another friend.
My wife likes to post some family photos on there. I use facebook to stay up to date on local homeschool news and events, communicate with neighbors in my subdivision, use marketplace to buy/sell, and communicate with ebay for business (way better than phone support!).
We’re about to the point of erasing our page and starting a new anonymous one minus pretty much all friends but keeping the groups we use for important communication.
The social aspect of facebook is just soooo toxic and so wasteful of valuable time.
I would absolutely have no problem with ads here on the forum. They are everywhere else I go and I don’t mind them there either.
If having ads would cover your cost of the forum and some basic tech support, then by all means do it!
I tried to experiment with a macbook and a Canon t2i in the eos utility. I got frustrated and went back to my iphone. This inspires me to try again!
I agree that using a crop body makes things more complicated. I can’t use my 50mm lens because I’d have to get too far away from the item. I suppose I could buy another more appropriate prime lens…but I’m cheap. I’ve considered getting a 24mm 2.8 lens, which is fairly affordable. What lens do you use in this setup?Also, how do you manage and upload your photos?
Yes, phone cameras LOVE natural lighting.
Once you get out of that natural lighting though, you gotta have good light.
I do alot of my photography at night or very early in the morning. Natural lighting is not an option most of the time.Oh man, so sorry to hear the new info on your wife’s treatment.
You may already know this, but make sure to research intermittent fasting before she begins her treatment. It can help with the radiation sickness symptoms.Upload your photos to any online photo hosting site.
Get the actual URL of the photo – not BBS code or anything. Just the URL link that ends in the name of the photo.
Copy the URL and click the “img” button on your post here. Enter the URL and you are golden.-I believe a lot of people like posting on this forum because it feels “private,” even though it’s not. Exposing insight on what you sell is one thing when a place feels private, but when you’re just out in the open with any would be “flipper” lurker hanging onto your every word, a lot less can be said.
Yep. This site is more of a low key tight knit group of folks and we’re all comfortable enough to share pretty speciifc details about our stores.
I avoided reddit for a long time as reddit had a wrap for basically being the “toilet of the internet”, but recently spent some time there reading on the keto subreddit.
I agree we’ll probably lose many of the high quality posters here, possibly me. There’s alot of trash on reddit, and I really don’t want to sign up for a site that is “anything goes”. This site is a very specific forum with minimal off-topic content. That is the big appeal for me here.
It is highly unlikely at this point that I would sign up for reddit if the forum moved there.
My daughter will be doing photography for me during the day while I’m at work. I’ve tested her out doing a few things and she is legitimately interested and is doing good work.
I have never had a buyer complain that I did not refund original shipping on a return because the customer changed mind, didn’t fit, etc. Their expectation is to not have any shipping refunded.

New Listings 0I had a $200 sale right before midnight last night to save my week. Score! It was the Seiko watch I picked up at a yard sale a couple weeks ago for $20.
It was a short week, so no listing. Went out of town for the holiday weekend. I did a bunch of organizing and rearranging of my ebay spaces. I have a pressing need to get my workspace fixed up nicely because my 12yo daughter has proven she is very capable at being my helper. This week will also likely be light on listing as I work to have a more functional “two person” space.
Summer Goal: Under weekly sales goal by $155.50. Running total is under pace by $565.
Eh, it could be alot worse. Once I’m up and running as a 2 person operation this month I hope to gain some ground on my sales goal.Would you be able to possibly share a photo or two and a general description of your setup in the Photography section?
This two camera tethered setup sounds quite interesting!I’ve always thought it would be cool to have an overhead camera, use a remote shutter release, and have the images show up on the computer screen just like a photography studio.
Yes I’ve read it. Very enlightening book.
I joined their facebook group and quit a couple days later. Some people take his words, twist them, and develop SERIOUS eating disorders. It was like a pissing contest, who can go without eating the longest to wear as a badge of honor. Sheesh!The Fat Burning Man podcast is good too. He has interviews with alot of great doctors and researchers.
My carb cravings were gone in 48 hours. Maybe that was because of the initial 24 hours fast and continued 16/8 intermittent fasting?
Did you do any fasting last time you tried Keto?
Once I have the sugar and processed carbs out of my system, I become quite in tune with what my body needs and doesn’t like. For instance, my body does NOT want to go hog wild on fats. Adding fat to just add fat is not for me. Then after I read enough about it, it is recommended that obese folks don’t have a minimum fat intake. Just meet daily protein requirement, minimize carbs, and let fat be where it lands as long as you have healthy fats in your diet.
I’ve also found myself turning away from meat protein on some days.
It is nice to be able to trust my gut.
I also now understand I simply cannot go back to eating junk in any way shape or form. Ever. This eating has to be permanent and it absolutely can be. I threw away a 70lb weight loss 2 years ago because I had a cheat week on vacation while working through an injury. I never recovered from that decision, even thought I convinced myself I could. It sucks feeling like a prisoner in your own body that feels incapable to make good decisions. That is what it is like once unhealthy eating takes ahold of me.
I’m 37 and have been fat since I was 9. That’s long enough.
