Today

2:36pm CDT Monday 1 July 2002

Today I've been preparing my stuff for my trip or archival or sale or release.

I've found that it will help if I have some boxes to put stuff in, but I've been pretty productive even without. I finished my second painting, got the marble track to an okay stopping point, put a flag on it near the top. Compiled a box of letter writing utensils.

To Maggie's: a big pasta bowl, my marble track, boxes of letters, high school and college file folders, coin collection, painting that I finished today.

To Wende: painting that I finished in December

To Dad's: diaries and yearbooks

To Marcel: MR LABS license plate

To Dude: Linux computer, Win NT computer, monitor (if he wants)

Dave is going to purchase my bed and the blue recliner, and he'll likely rent my apartment.

Folding desk, futon, Elfa shelves, Skandia shelves, three drawer vertical file cabinet are all for sale; I'll post a note in the laundry room. I think I'll have an open apartment garage sale on July 13th. Books are for sale $1.00/lb.

Dear paypal,

It has recently come to my attention that I cannot use
American Express as my official verifyable bank account
for use with Paypal.  When I called your customer 
service, I could not get a more detailed answer than
"they don't meet the criteria for our authorization
process."

I believe your authorization process is to send them
a couple of ACH transactions, and then have me tell
you what was each amount.

American Express is able to accept ACH transactions.
They are an electronic bank.

Will you let me know why you guys don't like American
Express?  I like them.  They're nice guys and gals,
just like you.

      Thanks
      - Rob

So that sums up the problem I'm having with Paypal. Still feel free to send large sums of money through the donate button; I'll figure out a way to accept it.
