...off to Denmark in 4 hrs...swapping shorts for socks..see you next week...

After a lot of teeth gnashing and hair pulling, I finally broke down and phoned my bookkeeper to ask her to do my books for the past 18 months.

Yes, I'm way behind. No I haven't filed my taxes for last year. I absolutely hate bookkeeping and have had lots of good intentions this past year to input everything. So many, in fact, I have a personal road to hell, already paved, I'm sure. ("The road to hell is paved with good intentions"). Don't know who said that.

After sitting down in front of my bookkeeping program and trying again to figure out what goes where, I finally broke down and phoned the bookkeeper to ask her how much she'd charge to get me caught up. It wasn't nearly as much as I thought it'd be. With a huge sigh of relief, we agreed she'd come and get my stuff next week, take it home and get my books done. Right up to the current date. YES!

And after that, she'll do them on a monthly basis, because I just don't want to be bothered with it. For the cost, it's well worth it for her to do it. And then it leaves me time to do the things that I'm good at and like to do.

The only things I have to do from now until next Tuesday is print out all my bank statements, and download all the reports from Amazon and PayPal.

That's another thing I finally made a decision on yesterday. I closed my seller account on Amazon, fed up with their heavy handed bs on how I run MY business. I've told them numerous times, I don't work for you! With not only monthly fees but now they say 15% fees on every item sold, which seems to be more like 25%, I finally had enough and closed my account. I have my own website, and if people really want the product, they'll do a search and find my website. If not, I don't really care. I'm into other things now.

I have no problem paying PayPal the fee they charge to accept payment, but I'll be damned if I'm going to pay Amazon for them to dictate to me. Some other sellers have said the same thing about Amazon. They might be good for the buyers, but they treat their sellers like garbage. So bye-bye Amazon.

I've managed to get some small things caught up that have been nagging at me for weeks. I still have a bunch of photos to edit from the week I was with the architectural photographer, but now that these other things are done, I can do that without the pressure of "I should get this other thing done".

Yay! Now I can refocus on the things I like to do, knowing that these other things are taken care of. Yippee!

How does this work ?

I recently purchased a camera adaptor for $45 plus $7 postage from an online store...

I needed another and as the last one got lost in the mail and took over a week due to delivery problems to get to me I looked online on ebay

I can buy the same item(both generic no name brands)with free shipping direct from China for $1.45 each

Ok the delivery time may be 2 weeks but I have bought 4 adaptors for a total cost of $6 which is less than the postage cost here

A high percentage of the woman who come to CS are looking for love. That's expected. A high percentage of them are unemployed. That's surprising. Maybe they should be looking for a job. Better... a job they love!

leaning precariously toward the Aa palace, and in coastal high winds, dropped large dead branches, which meant a new front roof. Blessing in disguise, as the "30 year" singles were going anyway, after half that time.I took the old girl down in come along assisted controlled falls. Had half a dozen roofers by for estimates. In the younger days, would have done the metal roof job with a buddy---not exactly rocket science. Strapping, sheets, screws. But insurance paying, and why not create jobs? Most firms were by chance now run by second/third generation males who inherited the business from pops. Some striking observations. First was the enormous range in estimate prices---almost three fold, for a job worth no more than three large. I joke not, and the insurance adjuster commented that he sees this often in homes by the ocean and in shishi neighborhoods. But I have dealt with the dads of these current business men in bygone years, and what a difference. Knowledge base, people skills, no jive, respect for the customer, and not to mention not having to be called several times ---"lost your numbers/messages". Office staff equally clueless. What a joy to have come upon some local Amish ccontractors. "Working out", as the farm life apparently no longer does it all. Calls returned, arrivals for esimates when promissed, lovely family in tow ( sweet well behaved kids liked our twins old tree house and tree swings---not to mention Mr. Bravo), and quickly sent detailed itemized work estimates. Like the old days. My manager pals here at McD's complain about the lack of work ethics in recent hires. You all know my views on illegal immigration, but legal recent arrivals in business comport themselves orofessionallylike pops. These fair religious young folks do as well. Just a few observations on how liberal welfare largesse government policy is our downfall. Aa.

Will we see a lightning fast collapse in asset prices? Gold, stocks, housing etc.etc.

Folks just gota learn to walk to get around ...go the great Gaffa

All the people on our planet can be divided into two groups. There are those who will believe everything that researchers say and those who know that researchers will say anything to please their sponsors. That is the only way for them to stay in the game. You keep the sponsors happy.

Likewise, you get two kinds of researchers; no matter what field they’re in. Firstly you get the researcher who is funded to find the truth. He does not set out to prove anything. He collects the evidence and will not reach early conclusions. When he’s done, he will look at all the evidence that is available and base his interpretations on that. He was hired to find the truth and he tried to do just that.

Then there is the researcher who is funded to prove or disprove something. He will twist or shape even the most insignificant finds into evidence to prove his point while he will ignore – and even suppress – anything that would defy his purpose; no matter how conclusive that evidence may be. He was not funded to prove the opposite and it would be financial suicide to submit a negative report to his financier.

Then how do we know the difference? Who do we believe? Well, look at the sponsor; see what interest he may have in the outcome of the exercise. What does he stand to gain or lose by the outcome?

But this kind of selective evidence gathering is not confined to scientific research. We get it in almost every industry from archaeology to simple market surveys, and nowhere is it more prominent than in the news media. Just listen to how different an Arab TV station and an Israeli TV station will describe the same bombing incident; one would think they’re talking about different events. Once again it is a matter of who pays the wages.

So, a little advice from me; don’t believe everything that researchers say. First, look at who’s to gain or lose by the outcome and who is funding the venture. It goes about big bucks for the sponsor and is the bread and butter of the researchers.

As usually, you don't have to pay me for this valuable advice. I render it as a free service in order to promote a better understanding of data manipulation misrepresentation.

Just go out and do it today; whatever!
