I would write: The apartment has two bedrooms, one with a single bed and one with a double. Then the LR part in another sentence

Yes, that's a way, to separate it out and not try to keep it on one sentence. Thanks!

Same as TNT, make it two sentences. I presume there will be pictures accompanying the listing, but if not, you might specify whether the double is two single beds or one double bed.
Although both the semicolon and colon variations are also quite understandable as well. I am often a semicolon practitioner.

Personally I would use the dashes.

I knew this was going to be about fire ants when I saw the lead-in. We fought the fire ants in our youth in both Florida and Texas. Mostly the fire ants won.

There are lawn treatments, either spray or dry spread, that will mostly control fire ants along with other bugs. Since we had such a dry summer I haven’t had to use either this year….fire ants need at least some moisture to soften the ground and our ground is like concrete right now.

My SIL told me to spray OFF on my legs. It did not work. Guess it only works for mosquitos. My lower legs look terrible.

And my neighbor pays someone to cut his lawn. If I paid someone, would I be liable for his fire-ant stings?

And I've seriously got to figure out how to weedeat again without getting stung a hundred times or more. It's got to be done soon, ugh.

I looked it up. It said to wear protective clothing. I wore my late husband's long socks, shoes and long pants. Luckily, it was cooler today, not 100+ degrees. I was worried the fire ants would get under my pants legs, but they did not. No stings! Thank you!

NEW Q: I am looking for someone who knows about Threads... My question is ... Is there a way to make the posts show up in chronological order?
They seem to be all over the place from 14 minutes to 8 hours

Re: Threads.
When you go in, threads has an algorithm that looks at what they think you are interested in seeing. Sort of like what Facebook does. I find that this is all over the place and, not necessarily, who I am following. If this is your issue, then click on the Home icon at the bottom left. Once you do, you will see 2 tabs at the top of the screen. One tab says For You (which appears to be the default display). The second tab says Following. I find that the Following tab is more chronological in its thread displays. Plus, it’s limited to who you are following, not everyone who is posting. Hope this is what you are looking for.
BTW, Threads does continue to be developed and changes in what you can do.

I just wish I could set it to always show the Following tab. But, alas, I cannot find how to do it.

I finally joined Threads too a month or so ago, and one of the first things I did, once I noticed it, was to always check that I was only reading on the Following tab, rather than the For You, just as I do at Twitter/X.

@Seasnork.
I'm on Instagram and Threads automatically follows anyone I follow on Insta.

New Q/Comment:
I was watching a Christmas movie that was based in England and I noticed that they say Happy Christmas and I wondered why the US says Merry Christmas.
Anyone know how this difference came about? Just curious.

Feliz Navidad translates "Happy" as well. I will ask about French (a resident from Quebec) Italian(a gentleman from Italy) and German (three Army wives from Germany.)

We do say Merry Christmas too, in the UK. It's probably not as common as Happy Christmas, but it is used. I don't know why. I like "Merry Christmas" because it's always a "Happy New Year," and then you don't have to repeat the adjective.
The French say "Joyeux Noel" which translates to joyous but more commonly in a simple happy or merry context.
