eBay My World: mainelyattic( 1121)

I am a special needs teacher and a coll. student going for my Phd. In childhood Autism development and diagnosis.

A little of everything! I do quite a bit of charity work, enjoying my chance to help those now who need it, and obtain a career that contributes to the needs of an increasing number of children and their families affected by Autism.

Textbooks and school meterials for classes, and meterials for ebBay- shipping supplies, etc.oh, and cheetos, lol.

Debt, right now, LOL. But It is worth it, I always heard, Do what you love, and the money will follow. So after years of a first sucessful career as a personal trainer in Boston, I decided to switch gears and come home to Maine and follow my heart's desire, returning to school for Autism Specialization.

English, German

Being a Gym Rat, HOMEWORK, Reading, HOMEWORK, Walking my Dog, HOMEWORK, And now E-bay, Oh, and did I mention HOMEWORK???? LOL I also love political and philosophical debates, and any time I recieve a challenge I get great entertainment out of it, and derive the utmost pleasure from laughing at people who try to rattle my cage- I guess they don't realize it isn't a cage, it's my monkey bars, LOL

Mostly historical fiction or non but will read ANYTHING in English or German print, LOL. (P.S. Don't read the toothpast tube, it'll scare you to death)

historically based; Braveheart, Troy, you get the idea..

hmm, I am eclectic- everything from Motzart to Rob Zombie...and all of the off beat groups in between!

CSI (k, so I am like 99% of the USA there) the history channel, and TRU TV and I.D..... anything historical, or crime based in nature (if I had to do it all over again, I would be a private investigator)

And believe me, this means FULL TIME!!! LOL.

I wanted a career change so took a chance and went back to college- expensive, and risky, but Maine's economy is changing, and I have to either move to another state or change with it, and I love it here too much to move! SO e-bay is a convenient way to go to school and earn enough to keep my head above water with the expenses, if I use a LONG snorkle...

Paypal and cashier checks or money orders, e-checks, etc. anything but rolled pennies, I guess.

I just jump on the roof and throw it in the general direction of the state the buyer lives in... NOT; actually I use pony express, the most modern development in postal delivery here in Maine! ;)

I have a very flexible return policy, but I must have the old item returned in most cases (in case I want it for myself after all, lol), as I don't sell junky items.

I do the store in the winter, and sell off what is left in the summer via a little shop here. The donations of friends and realtives enable me to not only keep my head a litle above water when going to school and teaching school, but it also enables me to contribute to non profit organizations locally as well as throughout the country.It is a great balance of give and receive, which I enjoy tremendously.

I was raised with Mic Mac Indian relatives, Celtic relatives, and English relatives, absorbing all of their traditions,( and this has made me an Indian giver, a drunk, and a snob HAHA)no, I respect the value of nature and day to day life, the gift of being able to look at the funny side of every situation, and the importance of manners that make a person maintain respect for themselves, and show respect to others, even when you want to scalp them, then have a hot toddy with Irish whisky in it ~;)
