I agree. I say LET'S BURN 'EM OUT!! (Oh, sorry, is this the wrong venue for that?) Never mind.

Old And Cranky issue for the day. I'm annoyed by the offer of a "Holiday Gift For You" from King...

Ebay now takes a cut of the shipping charges from sellers (9%)
I don't see how they can get away with that. I use to charge actual shipping as a seller. Some people do charge for handling (cost of boxes/gas to PO/etc) but I didn't. Now if I want to get my actual shipping costs paid for I'd have to charge the buyer 9% more to get back what ebay dings me on S&H. I stopped selling on ebay after they started that. It seems like they no longer want the mom and pop sellers.

Just received a LLBean catalog and they have free shipping. Great holiday fresh greens.

Oh, good find! smileys/smile.gif
Incidentally, it's not exactly Midtown, but there's a greenmarket right near Lincoln Center--Tucker Square (Broadway and 66th). I haven't been by yet (since there's one right on my corner--much cheaper than Whole Paycheck or any of the supermarkets near us, YAY), but maybe it's of use if you have a place with a kitchen and are shuttling back and forth to/from LC. smileys/smile.gif Whee! Come on, May!

Thanks for the info
I know the place very well (not the market, just the real estate). I will certainly check it out to add some fun items to breakfast. I'm supplied with the usual breakfast stuff in the fridge: eggs, bread, butter, juice, muffins, tea, coffee, milk, etc. But it will be nice to add organic cream and seasonal veggies/fruits. I don't plan to do much cooking as I'll be entirely contented to graze my way along in wonderful Manhattan eateries for the week.

No, it's what my host offers by way of ammenities. It was a real find.
I'll send you the link to take a peek.

That's what I do now that I'm on the mainland
I'm a couple of blocks away from the border. it closer to get gas than driving down the hill into town in Canada, and cheaper too. I do tons of online shopping and have it sent to the US. Magazine subscriptions are much cheaper as well.
