Hi Guys, I know this is off track but I need some help. I am trying to buy something using onlinesafetrade.net as an escrow company. Have any of you heard of or done business with this company before? I emailed them and they said they were licensed to do business here in CaCaLand. They only accept wire transfers and I think that is odd. Or is it only I that think that to be odd. With all the scams out there I want to be careful. The person that has the equipment is in Florida so I can't just go there. They offered me a 20 day inspection. I just don't know about the escrow company they have chosen. They said they have had 3 successful transactions with onlinesafetrade.net Any suggestions for me to protect myself? Now for the fun stuff! For Thanksgiving I decided to give my furries a sweet treat, which they never get. I cruised the aisles of the grocery store and settled on banana baby food. Upon opening of the jar I tasted it. YUCK! I hope they like it better than me. Too tart. I tried to give it to them individually. NO takers. Then I tried in pairs. Well competition at least got a tongue lick or two but no one was in love with it. Next it was a total group effort. 6 fuzzies. Captured in the bathroom. I sat in the middle of the floor. They gathered in great anticipation like I would have a goody. Then when I offered the "treat" I was royally rejected once again. I got 2 sneezes, 2 cold shoulders, 1 pawed at it and then when she got some on her foot she shook it onto me and one went and got a drink out of the toilet instead! Well, so much for the "thanks" part of this thanksgiving. There certainly wasn't any giving either as I couldn't find any takers. So, very begrudgingly I dragged out the old yogies and gave everybody "just 1" which they haven't had in well over 3 months. I think I heard one of em say "thanksforgivin mom" as she ran off with a grin on her face! That was the best thing I had heard all day!! I hope you all had a wonderful day. Any idea what to do with an open jar of banana baby food???? Maybe a facial?? Or hair food?? OR OR?? Hug a fuzzy today, Mary Jo [Posted in FML issue 5072]
