Soon after I got here all the nights went out

[vixmom]

Fortunately not before I heated up my leftovers for lunch ( I have an electric stove)

[vixmom]

So I ate my lunch in a romantically dim house

[vixmom]

But the electric  came back a few moments ago so I’ve reset the clocks and reconnected to the interwebs

[vixmom]

There were 4 packages delivered today and fortunately the mailman put them in the it plastic deck box we have their for exactly that purpose

[vixmom]

Often we find packages , next to  or even on top if the box

[vixmom]

Right on top of the 8x11 pink fluorescent sign stating in bold , bkack, capital letters

please put packages inside this box

[vixmom]

Well I must get me back to work

[vixmom]

Congratulations to BK on your binary achievement

[vixmom]

Feel better everyone, that’s an order

Congrats to BK on the 200%!

Are those fees in line with those of the other crowdfunding sites? Talk about a racket. I mean, crowdfunding is a great thing, but sheesh!

With Indiegogo, the fees are higher if you set up your campaign with the Flexible Goal, which means, "This campaign will receive all funds raised even if it does not reach its funding goal."  If you set it up so that you only get the money IF the campaign meets its goal, then the fees are lower.

I just had a phone call from 986-881-5048. It seems my Social Security has been closed and I am a wanted criminal. To speak to a rep, press 1. The phishing asshole clearly spoke English as a second language, and he hung up as soon as I said I was reportng his phone number to Social Security!

I made this comment on Facebook: 

I used to do a radio show, so some times I would answer spam calls with, "Hello, you are on the air!" Click!

206%!  On our way to covering fees.

Hoo and Ray!!

[George]

I shall shortly be on my way to do three commentaries and then sup.

That's exciting!

I was remembering the very first crowdfunding campaign I did - the Kickstarter for Nudie Musical - which was also for 5K and which we barely made - and wouldn't have if it wasn't for a dear reader.  That estimate, too, turned out to be way too low, but I didn't know how to do this back then - the total cost for Nudie was closer to 14K and I had to make up that difference.

Hey vixmom, ICON Parking Expert Supremo:

The garage on West 83rd between B'way and Amsterdam is where I usually park when calling on Her Majesty, Thatch, et al, since street parking is nearly impossible to score these days.

I think their $45 for several hours during the day on Friday is typical, and probably as good as I've done at that location. (Parking in midtown is a breeze in comparison!) But do you see any way to discount that price? If not, that's cool, but it occurred to me to ask.

I thought I was signed up to receive mailings from them but I now realize I haven't received any in months.

If you download their app on your phone you should get a $10 discount on your first reservation scheduled on the app.  I think you might also get discounted fees using the app

Thanks! I found I had the app already, and I must have used it before because they're offering me nothing. But I enrolled in the rewards program, which I had not been in, so that'll get me started.

I just put 5 of the 7 cartons out in the hall for Friday's pickup.  We'll see if the scumbag ass with the bike across the hall complains.  I expect him to run to management tomorrow.

[vixmom]

I got back to the office to find they had also lost power while I was out to lunch

[vixmom]

Fortunately I had saved and closed out of my documents before I left for lunch

Sooo, they kept the money or returned it if the goal wasn't reached?

Keith's cousin was planning to spend the holiday weekend with us.  She dropped something on her big toe today.  Urgent care told her the bone is shattered.  She has an appointment with an orthopedist tomorrow.  Fortunately Delta gave her credit with one year to use it.

The money isn't taken from the supporters until it ends, and only if it meets the goal.  If it doesn't meet the goal by the end of the campaign, no money is taken from anyone.

Thanks for explaining.

Almost finished with What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? I guess it's scary, but I'm finding it more pathetic than anything. Th.Heir dysfunctional relationship is what's truly horrifying. It's an ugly story with some great acting. Bette Davis is incredible.

[Jane]

"dysfunctional relationship is what's truly horrifying" is the reason I have never watched it.  That & the fact the clips I have seen were very scary.

Congrats to BK on 206% and his milestone!
