Hello!  My name is Martin Schmidt, and I don't have any outside employment, because I have been a caregiver for my elderly parents.  They both suffered from dementia and serious physical disabilities.  My father could hardly walk, and was incontinent.  He was quite confused, and needed frequent diaper changes, as did my mother, who could not walk or stand up, and had permanent diarrhea.  We had recently hired a live-in caregiver to help me when both my parents died within weeks of one another this summer.  I had to leave my parents' home and become self-supporting.   I was unable to have any kind of job while caring for my parents, so I depend on what I can raise by selling my belongings on eBay, although I do now buy books and records for resale.  My debts mounted while I did the caregiving, and I have to try to sell enough on eBay to pay off an enormous debt load, most of which is left-over student loans.  I hope you will like my assortment of books, LP records, sports trading cards, and any other areas I might branch out into.  My father just died August 31, 2005 so I am still in the process of helping to settle the estates.
