AT&T shipped my phone Fed Ex Overnight Express and I'm following the tracking in my nightgown while listing and eating Cheetos puffs.
I don't know, it really gives me a feeling of completely unearned and inappropriate luxury living.

It doesn't get any better than FedEx Overnight Express.

Enjoy, lol! Isn't that why we keep slogging away at Ebay? Edit: In addition to the roof, food & electricity factor of course  |

FWIW, I think you've more than earned every bit of luxury you enjoy. |

I'm especially jealous of the Cheetos.
Did your old phone break or was it time for your upgrade?

I'd had it for three years and while it's physically in OK shape, it's starting to fall behind in the "compatability" curve (iPhone4) and with the last two ios updates it's gotten glitchier and glitchier.
And since i've been out of contract for about a year I bit the bullet and signed on for 30 monthly payments on a 6 Plus...it comes to about a dollar a day, so I have given up soda and cut dessert to three times a week.

Oh yes, the sacrifices that must be made for technology.
I still have a flip phone because I am weak and could never ever give up DDP.

Like a true eBay seller, I have already listed the included earbuds since I will NEVER use them. I still have the original ones from my 4 in the box.

As I've probably mentioned ad nauseam, DH had cervical fusion surgery at the end of December. They sent him home from the hospital with two neck braces so he can change into a dry one after he showers. Each brace came with an extra set of pads. The first set that came with each brace were starting to get a little ratty, but I kept treating them with TLC when I washed and changed them because I wanted to keep the spare sets new in package so I could sell them here. Fortunately, he got approval last week to stop wearing it, so we made it through without having to open them. Score! |

I love my 6 plus! I rarely talk on my phone. I use it as a tablet.

As far as being able to work from home...I love it! Not having to worry about driving to work on the icy roads every morning.
Enjoy your new phone!

Good job thinking ahead, class. A true Ebay seller looks for every opportunity. That being said, I saw a whole section of packages of adult diapers today at GW and my first thought was to stock up because the day that I will be using them is probably coming sooner rather than later.  |

One of my BFFs buys adult diapers for resale. Even if the package has been opened, they still sell.
Speaking of Ebayers looking for every opportunity, I just bought two new pair of Dansko athletic shoes. (I have neuromas and these allow me to walk quite a distance before the pain starts). Anyways, as soon as I get them, I take out the insert (I use my own) and I list them. They always sell. Helps offset the price of the shoes.

Ha. It has crossed my mind to stock them while I still look young enough for someone to think I'm buying them for an elderly parent or grandparent. |

From cheetos to adult diapers in one thread?
Betty all you need is a nice box of chocolates and a bubble bath in a mega tub.

We tend to stray off the original thread topics every once in awhile.
Its like one thing just naturally trends into another and we are off.

It makes for very entertaining reading sometimes. I'd moderate more discussions but by the time I pick myself up from the floor (laughing) the topic has gone back on track.

Hate to eat messy stuff while listing, so that is when I spend too much time on the boards and facebook.
Or I use a spoon.
Cheeto orange would be hard to get out of clothing.

I don't know if this story is apocryphal or not, but Aretha Franklin had to have the electric piano in her home studio repaired because the keys were not responding properly....the repair man came and found that the culprit was a strange orangish residue packed between the keys...which turned out to be Cheeto dust.

FWIW, what I like even better than Cheetos is the crunchy cheese twists that Aldi markets sell. Ummmmm... I like them so much, that I stopped buying them! Now I'm addicted to their puffed pork rinds. UGH... off to find me some crackers or popcorn.  |

I believe the piano story. DS favorite snack is Cheesits. Years ago his VCR stopped working and we took it in for cleaning and repair. When we picked it up the repair man said he found a lot of orange crumbs inside.  |

The last time I cleaned out my PC keyboard, I found two feathers in there. FEATHERS.

That's the part that skeeeeeers me... plus the fact I need to go there to try & get some more addictive energy drinks. Unfortunately for me, those are hit-or-miss for availability.  Oh, I forgot to add: I also forced myself to stop buying corn chips at Aldi because I liked them better than Frito's!  |

What are Beanitos?  They sound almost healthy. I LOVE the veggie chips from Aldi made with real veggies, instead of colored potatoes. But I can't be trusted not to eat the whole bag at once. |
