I'm glad you got paid. I restore antique sewing machines, my friend that restores the cabinets has an etsy account she has never used. we typically sell on Marketplace, local only, cash only. We aren't really making any money, just making beautiful useful items that do not end up in the...

if you want to accept credit cards and have a costco account sign up for elavon. They are prompt at depositing and the $5 monthly fee if no sales is very reasonable

most banks and platforms hold onto every dollar as long as they can in the interest of "security"

30% to sell on Etsy? They are worse than Amazon. I think, haven't checked Amazon lately. I keep a separate account for local customers that want to pay me with zelle, I make no local deposits to it, and empty it out promptly. I use capital one 360 for that, no fees. I've never heard of Plaid...

bookkeeping, 1099s and selling sewing machines.

I have a catfish tank that has sand on the bottom so I can't use my python hose for water changes. And I have a maxi-jet 1200 powerhead clamped to a piece of siphon hose with a t valve at the end so that the water doesn't come straight out hose but is divided and doesn't disturb sand. I do have...

I found a cell phone cheap yesterday, have to go to ATT and get a sim card for it. My 4 year old Samsung's power button is failing and if I had to make a phone call, the odds on it turning on to let me do so are pretty near zip. Found a motorola to try. I expect to spend the day learning to...

I was 82 here on Tuesday and 80 yesterday. I know what you mean. gave up, closed windows, turned ac on

I had grandkids all day yesterday so today I and the critters are having a quiet day of recovery. Dogs were walked, kittens were played, projects were done and they went home to mom at 8.

AI is dumb. I know people that followed AI sewing machine repair instructions. Results not good. Grateful I have kept my best fish books and hobby books. The dumb down is intensive

Kind i used over the reef are long gone. Dual tube 48 inch t8 that would handle actinic lights for my reef, those are gone. They were $20 apiece, would hang above tank, but i mounted in a hood and the extra reflector was helpful. Now for $36 you get a single tube hanging fixture, or you get...
