Quotemattkime If you have the time, wander around and pick them up. Great idea (sarcasm). Get some poor schmuck to enter the property owned by somebody else and, without permission, remove "property". Then you'll be able to wail & whine about an "unreasonable" property owner who may / may not respond with Castle Doctrine force when / if said property owner feels &quo

My DOMICILE address is on file with eBay. I have to be VERY careful that BEFORE I actually pay, I “update” the address to where I actually am BEFORE I pay. It can be somewhat confusing. That said, if the buyer paid BEFORE he amended his address, follow eBay rules re shipping.

Re: lights out?!....upcoming Broadway shows closing.... - 3 days ago

Things like this happen when people CHOOSE to ignore the fact that Covid is FAR from over. Between reopenings, increased travel and people “just wanting to get back to normal (ie: pre Covid life)” it’s no wonder that the U.S. has over THREE MILLION new Covid cases EVERY MONTH. I fear that things are going to get MUCH worse.

It would be less onerous if the volume level did NOT vary to the EXTREME extent it currently does. At an "average" volume setting, hearing normal convers

I met a CL buyer INSIDE a local Police Station lobby. He had his own SIM card and, when satisfied it was a working iPhone, handed me cash. A public library would probably have an 110VAC outlet and WiFi available. In either case, I’d give a heads up to the station or library as to what I wanted to do.
