Random thought

Jo makes potatoes that are otherworldly

Also. We have these cows next door that are very tasty. I'm looking at one right now. And it strikes me, these cows are the tastiest thing in the world and they're eating this grass. Do they know how tasty they are? If course not. I think if they knew how tasty they were they wouldn't just settle on grass, they would eat each other. Or I would anyway.

Other random thought. I fixed the makino just now. It had a clogged fan that had the whole shebang stopped. Apparently the machine has sensors that can tell when a single little bitty tiny fan on a board and an amp stops working. I've never fixed a machine tool with WD-40 before. But I did get pretty drunk in the process. Jo and I are going to watch star battles now

I sent the following to a buyer this morning;

the peace of mind selling as a merchant on paypal is worth the 4% they charge. I owned/operated a brick and mortar retail/service business and know that the cost the credit card companies charge to process the transaction is roughly equivalent to what paypal charges. It's cool they offer free processing for friends and family transfers, but people take advantage of it for sales use. I'm hearing that lots of people are getting scammed in the classifieds here because the seller isn't willing to absorb the cost of processing, which just puts the buyer in a potentially really shitty situation- at best. At worst, the buyer just sent a friends and family payment to someone as far as paypal is concerned- caveat emptor

When I was merchant on the Subaru Forums 20 years ago I would only accept G&S and not friends and family.

But it was a different situation than selling stuff at a loss here, where often my only receipt is a different payment to someone else via PPFF, which the IRS wont accept that expenditure as a receipt. I could only sell via G&S those items that I bought from knife dealers, but not sell most items that I bought here if they refused to take G&S payments.

In my case, I rarely sell anything - I will usually only trade or buy here, and I'm happy to pay with G&S; but not many individual sellers here will accept it.
