I believe it! I don't think it's the words that they are understanding but the sound of the word. I know that when I speak French to my dog she doesn't respond to commands like she does when I speak English, and she doesn't understand Northern English either, it has to have that thick Southern drawl..

I've found that southern drawl useful too...my husband understands it best... just like your dog.

What is a tty? It looks like a boobie with a monkey head inside... ha ha ha
DBL are you still selling? I sold just over 900.00 in junk in the last two weeks! I was shocked at the junk that sold and held my breath until the positive feedback came in! LOL I guess it really is true..one man's junk is another man's treasure. I like selling on Ebay except for the numerous trips to the Post Office.

lol maggie you know what tty is! I dont like saying that word it sounds sooo cheap...but boobie is okay! I dont care if other people say it, I just dont want to. (Its a bannana and some peel - you can see that, right?) But for classic, it does look like my boobie . rofl!!!
Good for you with the junk, maggie!! You Go! Did you sell the belt buckles you found??? I sold mine. Good bargain for the buyer, okay for me. I am having a hard time selling right now, I dont know why. Might try a few things today. if I can kick it up a notch.
I get caught by the fees and meanwhile I've already spent any money I've made. lol!!.. So it gets like, ut-oh... I filled the suv it was like 37 and change, I went to that store bought some stuff, and completely ignored the fact Istill had stuff to ship and fees to pay. When I realized what I did needed to step back from it and regroup a bit. I am so not having a business model. Just an ebay party.
I think animals understand certain words. I used to think it was just sounds too, but the more they are domesticated, I think begin like children to understand. They're brain's have evolved to understand. I swear my cat understands some words and even tries to repeat them.

DBL..I know exactly what you mean! I sell the junk and then turn right around and buy more with my profits. My hubby asked me what my profit was on what I sold, I said "What do you mean?" It's all profit. He laughed and said, you have to consider what you paid for that junk in the first place, what it cost you to list it and then what you sold it for.. "Oh, says I, well.. that's no fun" As far as I'm concerned if I owned it and sell it then it's just all profit! My motto..Buy High..Sell Low!
Just wish I had a proper scale so I could do the online shipping too.. but most of my items are quite large, so that means measuring the boxes and all.. might just as well take it all to the Post Office.. besides I get my weekly town gossip when I go. Ha

LoL Maggie: I said "What do you mean?" It's all profit." You are funnier than me with this. I didnt know that was possible-lol!!! I spend the money down to the last penny in my paypal and go, oh, wait, I gotta ship this out!!! I was a real big spender filling up his truck for him. He usually tells me if I have a dollar, I have to find 'somewhere' to spend it!! And I should sell this other junk before I get new junk, but thats no fun. So I guess its true, but he buys what he wants, too. Although he never tells me I cant spend the house money if I need to er..um..supplement ebay. But I got tired of myself doing that, and swore I would not again make that same mistake, but I did, so I am chilling from it a bit rather than making him pay for it since he is the breadwinner here.
Gawd, you know if fenix gets wind of this thread she will be going off the deep end about it!!! The one thing that crowfarm ever said that ran true to me and made me laugh so hard was when she told fenix what does she think she's donald trump or something!

Maggie, I have 5 lb scale is that big enough?
I could sell it to you cheap. I got it cheap. Figured in case one of mine broke, I'd have an extra. But I also got a like desk 30 lb (fruit big old white one) for 2 dollars and that works for bigger things for me - so I have three. Let me know if you want it. Ill put it online.

Maggie, There has to be a Sams Club in your area. They carry a scale that wetghs up to 40 lbs. Bought one a while back for $35.

Thanks for the offer, DBL, but it looks like I have a move coming up and I don't want to accumulate anymore "stuff". Most of the stuff I have sold weighs between 12 and 25 pounds. I'd stand on the bathroom scale with it, but then how could I lie about my weight!
Bear, we don't have a Sam's near us, we don't have anything near us.. either have to go to Gulfport/Biloxi or Slidell Louisiana for any shopping.
You know, I'm thinking about holding a big garage sale to get rid of a bunch of stuff, I'd have to tie balloons from the main road on in for people to find me though.. LOL

maggie, I want to have a yard sale too. We had a community one here and the stupid girl didnt even put the ad in the paper. Like three people came! When I found out, I was like.."what?" Such a wasted effort moving all that stuff about. My hus said its better to go get a table at the flea market. I know thats the better idea, but then I gotta load everything into my car. (whine whine whine) And I know myself,.I dont like to sit in one place. I like to walk around and see what the other vendors have. Definitely a buyer, and not a seller at heart.
No problem on the scale. My luck I'd sell it and a week later mine would break.
