I might be a little nuts. I keep going into my basement to see how clear the floor is: [link] And it isn't even organized! But progress I can see. Bonus stained and oiled deck set: [link]

I need to get a new camera. iTouch is ok for on the go, but I miss the flash and pixels and shit.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh ita, I feel for your friend. How hard.

I have a wee girl in tears here. Funny how that happens some days, just need to cry a bit.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

That's terrible about your friend, ita. I know bad news is hitting you harder than it would have without the other sucktastic things.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

That is terrible ita. I'm sorry for your friend and sorry so much else has sucked lately.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thanks guys. I...I'm selfishly at a loss right now. I have no idea what to say, and I'm worried I'm going to freak out, when it's not about me. I wish I could call her before the funeral, but it's too late. I hope she's on email while she travels.

I am sure that a message from a friend would be as welcome after the funeral as it would before it.

The question is, what's a reasonable alternative to PayPal? There's nothing else, is there?

A pretty good rundown of options: [link]

No, none of them are as widely accepted as PayPal. None of them will be unless people use them; you have to push. I've started an account with Dwolla and am poking local businesses about it. The app tells you where they're accepted, which is nice. They don't have much meatspace coverage where I am now, but I like the flat-fee approach, and their affiliation with a credit union. And of the options I've seen, I think they have the most potential for expansion.

(The guy who runs the wiki I linked to is definitely interested in getting more info so if you have opinions or know of stuff he's leaving out, I think he'd love feedback.)

I do use PayPal when it's the least unethical option. But I would really like a completely ethical option so.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I am so sorry about your friend, ita.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I'm very sorry about your friend, ita. I hope you get a chance to let her know you're thinking of her.
