And the word of the day is: DUENDE!
Monday morning greetings! Another sunny, but cold, day here in SW Ohio. I have the day to putter before going to my knitting shop for a computer class about Ravelry, the website where knitters hang out.

I have been playing that lovely DOWNTON ABBEY theme on the piano as of late. Amazing what you can do with basically two chords. ;)
I like Owl City - especially FIREFLIES....yes very nice.
I am listening to a latin CD that I am enjoying very much. It's by some guy that I don't think has ever been mentioned here:
Astrud Gilberto

I tend to sneak it into my "noodling" at church. No one suspects...
Good morning, DR's. I'm having an eBay issue regarding payment. I recently won an auction for something that I'm very excited about. When I actually pay for it, I'll share it with you. Anyway... this has to do with shipping costs. There was a shipping cost calculated in the total of the auction, which is fine. However, the seller is saying it's going to cost more for shipping because they'd like to send it FedEx, which I have no problem with. I asked him to go in and change the shipping criteria on the item because I can't change the shipping cost when using PayPal when eBay seems to have calculated it themselves, or he used the shipping calculator, or whatever.
Well, this seller is not very bright, they seem very defensive and they don't seems to want to work on this from their end. We messaged back and forth yesterday and got no where. I asked if he would send me his email address and I'd be happy to send the amount directly to him, that didn't happen. Then I asked if he would just send me an invoice, but that hasn't happened either.
This item is a find and I'm very excited (not to mention a HUGE steal!) The seller has a 100% feedback rating which leads me to believe this hasn't happened to them before. My first thought is to go ahead and send the payment with the amount that eBay says is correct and deal with the $20 extra dollars later. I'd hate to lose the item because of the seller not cooperating. Never once did I say I wouldn't pay what they asked for.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. :)
Thank you, JMK. When I made the payment, the sellers email address showed up. I went ahead and sent the balance he wanted to ship. I'm ok with this. Let's see what happens.
I've been using eBay since 1998. I always thought the seller set the shipping cost. When did that change?
Or Polly Bergen.
Well, I am officially in Rapture seance as my Amazon Marketplace seller has informed me my purchase will ship tomorrow. Once it arrives, I will reveal all.
What about Robert Ryan?Or Geena Davis.
I see that the first artificially produced burger made from stem cells is on the way later this year. I might wait for others to try them out before I sample one. Still, if it saves having to kill animals for meat I'm all in favour.
TOD:
I can't decide. It's either Raymond Massey or Henry Fonda.
Congrats to DR JMK.
I don't think Geena was re-elected.
I've been using eBay since 1998. I always thought the seller set the shipping cost. When did that change?
Sellers can set shipping, within certain parameters. Those parameters become MUCH more restrictive when eBay revamped everything a few years ago (it was at the point that sellers could no longer leave negative feedback, one of the reasons I stopped selling on eBay). One way or the other, eBay rules expressly forbid a seller "revising" shipping costs after an auction closes. What is posted in the auction is what must be adhered to.
No DR TCB....the modify button is separate from the little pencil and pad in the body of your post.... If you use the pencil and pad your screen looks very different when you edit......you stay on the posting page.

The L.A. Times had a nice photo spread on Carnival in Rio. They're wearing more these days than when I was down there, but the images and the colors and beauty are no less impressive.

Or maybe it's just that the newspaper did run a full array of images. Only that which was fit to print.

Could you just send two payments thru Paypal. one for the item with the correct shipping costs; and the second one as just a send money transaction to his account?

True, but I had to give up on Lincoln, because he was on the rebound after elmore dumped him for some actor named Booth.

That would be incestuous. Lincoln's a relative. I have heard that the person Booth was aiming for was actually you as "Our American Cousin." I hear you're the first actor snce Montfleury to provoke assassination attempts.
Watching the NYCO production of "A Little Night Music" tonight. Ages ago, I saw George Lee Andrews play El Gallo in a dinner theater production of "The Fantastiks." He's was great in that, very virile, as I recall. And he's wonderful as Frederick, sheepish and caught between reality and is blind love for his young bride. I don't care too much for the production, the black, white and blue and a little too stark. I miss Desiree's red dress.
George is good as Egerman because he was in the original, played Egerman in the first national tour, and he worked with Hal Prince, whose direction of the original was quite wonderful.He was Frid the butler and the understudy in the original, right? I had forgotten that.
Earlier today, I had on a DVD from George of "The Best of Broadway" with Len Cariou and Glynis Johns recreating their roles for a brief scene. Seeing them after listening to that album so many thousands of times and seeing the movie and other productions was touching.
I have recounted the story of Ms. Johns evidently having been in her cups that night, and almost having been taken out by Boris Aronson's plexiglas birch trees, if not for the quick thinking of Mr. Cariou.Mrs. Banks in her cups. That's a funny image.
