FYI… If you still have magazines, catelogues, user manuals, comic books, hard and soft cover books, YOU ARE NOT OUT of TOILET PAPER!! Duh! LMAO 🙂 🙂 🙂

Yep was just going to state that but Sharyn beat me to it. Tenn. has a fairly long list of things in the clothing and food categories that are non-taxable.

Oh Ryanne: Yep I think you should go and read through the link you set. About 4 or 5 posts down there is a running thread from a user JSC and the administrator Alexia. Read on down through it.seeing things like have to set a start date, some banks only allow 30 to 90 days, have to use .CSV imports into Excel then back to Wave, glitchy categorizations, manual monthly updates, Wave doesn’t treat PayPal as a bank so pulls in data differently, etc., etc.
Now that thread seems to go back into 2018, so maybe Wave has fixed itself, but from I had seens some time back when I was switching Wave just didn’t seem to grab my attention and I ruled it out along with Sage, FreshBooks, Mint and a few others. There really are not many out there that are really good at all the accounting requirements of a dbl entry professional level program for the small business owner on the cheap.

Wave is also known for not integrating with many banks also. Only going back so far or being error prone. Complaints have been documented for some time about how Wave won’t synch with users bank accounts. Some banks I read even charge a fee to let Wave synch with them, but unsure on that.
It was not too long ago that wave was more of just an Invoicing platform for contractors to create and send invoices to their customers and accept payments against those invoices. But then they decided to gravitate into a receivable / payable system but unsure if it is a fully functional double entry bookkeeping and if so, then maybe being newer to it than Quicken and Quickbooks.Personally I have tried other apps when I was looking to go from QuickBooks full blown app to something less costly and involved. I couldn’t find much other than Quicken. I tried one app back then that pulled a bunch of garbage from PayPal and I dumped it due to the issues it had with PayPal. Even Quicken had a problem once long ago.
So be careful with all these apps that claim to be an accounting program as in real double entry [i.e. General Ledger with accompanying Journals for user entries] vs. glorified invoicing apps with some add ons for handling receivables.
Something else I observed, when I leave the word WAVE out or any other Brand name out of a google search and just search for best bookkeeping apps, top 10 accounting apps, etc., etc. Wave doesn’t seen to show up in most of them. But, many of the better apps have a charge associated with them. At some times, when you pay a little something you get a better program or support. With Quicken, I can call them right now and someone will answer within a minute or two and stay with me until finished. But haven’t needed help with accounting in a long time, since i cut my teeth 20 or so years ago with Great Plains accounting [big guns-high cost] in my printing company, then QuickBooks desk top when I started my other businesses.
Nothing more than just an opinion …

Timo: By the way. just an addendum to the above.
Usually tea cups with lids are used for steeping individual cups of tea and keeping the steam locked in. Hot water is poured into the cup, then a tea bag or a tea ball is placed in the water and the lid placed on top during the steeping process.
Also it is handy for moving the cup around to prevent spills and just to keep the tea hotter, longer.
Have fun and as Jay and Spock says: “Live Long and Prosper”
mike @ MDCGFAHi Timo: See if this helps any.
We use a couple of Asian character recognition sites for identifying Asian characters. One is ghanzi and the other is Nciku which you can get to by clicking on a link in the PinYin News [see links below].We use our mouse and draw in what we are seeing. The apps identify the nationality or the marks and translate what they say, in most cases.
Find Chinese characters online by drawing them with your mouse
This newsletter pinyin above explains about Nciku

https://dict.naver.com/linedict/zhendict/dict.html#/cnen/homeThere are several others that pop up on a Google search for Asian character identification
Of course a Wiki search tells one all about crazing. What it is, why and how it happens. It is a flaw and devalues objects, but we still sell items with crazing but we always make sure we note it in the conditions area and in the description and classify it as heavy, light, or faint almost imperceptible with the unaided eye.
We use a 10x loupe on all our ceramic pieces looking for crazing.
Good luck
Mike at MDC Galleries and Fine ArtThat’s what Susan said. She said that she always buys gifts for us with cash because i keep such a close eye on everything. I even have called her before and asked how her lunch was at the restaurant 5 minutes after she paid.
Don’t get me wrong, i don’t track Susan, it just so happened i was doing the numbers for the day and saw it pop in.
But you are right, if it was a gift for someone, bet she is not a happy camper now that I emailed her and asked why the dispute of the charge like Sharyn suggested.
BTW didn’t hear anything back from her-them after I sent the email inquiry.
Well Hi to you also.

Understand about keeping location close to your vest.
I have an idea for Ryanne. Instead of SL coffee mugs how about a secret coded baseball style hat-cap that has the embroidered SL from the forum banner. do it in the pixled font she uses on the banner for the forum. Or Maybe the SL and under it say Bee Hive Collective.
Then we would were our SL hat out in public and if we ever come across other SL Forum mebers we could readily recognize each other! 🙂 Almost like the Mason’s secret handshake or Mason’s Symbol.
A secret society of scavengers from the Bee Hive forum Collective. Instant recognition without having to speak a word. I would buy one. I were a baseball cap all the time when we are out and about. Getting tired of the UGA and Falcons ones.
If any dealers or vendors ask what is SL or the Bee Hive Collective, I can have some fun and say things like Jeff Dunham’s Ackmed the dead terriorist puppet, it is a secret society and if i tell you, “I will have to keeel you!” 🙂
Anyway, hope to see you around sometime.
Mike at MDCGFA
Thanks Sarahl. As I stated above in a couple of relies. Think I got all this covered following all the help from the BeeHive Collective here at SL.

MDC Galleries and Fine artTimo: Thanks for the advice and process. I did that a few hours ago. Funny though I went through everything and typed some comments but PayPal timed out on me, and you know everything disappeared. So just did it agagin in MSWord then opened PayPal and did a quick paste.
Interesting though we got an email from PayPal saying because of our good standing and reputation and having so few returns or problems with buyers that we were automatically enrolled in the “Funds Now” program some time back and we have instant acess to all monies at all times with no “holds” being put on our account from issues arising. So, the funds in current dispute are not on hold. Cool.
I think you hit the nail on the head. HE didn’t know about HER purchase, didn’t communicate with her, thought it was a bogus charge and immediately disputed it with the C/C company. He is probably totally unaware of how PayPal and Ebay can handle issues or returns.
Thanks… Mike at MDCGFA
Just completed that. About 4 or 5 sentences about her order being delivered yesterday and hope it was ok. And then asked if she could provide some answers as to why a dispute was opened with the credit card company by a Vincent with her last name.
Thanked her for her order and told her if she liked the painting maybe she could communicate with Vincent and see if he would cancel the dispute or if not we are OK with her final decision.
We will see what transpires.
Thanks for the help.
Mike
Howdy: We did everything Sharyn, Timo, Sarahl and others have suggested here. But not call PayPal. I can do that next. After you called Jay, did it still take them a few weeks to resolve or by calling you got the time frame expedited?
mike at MDCGFA
Thanks Timo. I was hoping it was something like that. Well, I have the complete order in our Ebay records as well as SixBit captures all of that also. So good to go. PayPal didn’t ask for anything, but maybe that is to come.
It was delivered to them about 2 hours ago. It was left on the front porch/ by the door. I will sit and wait and see what happens, then I guess.
Maybe it will end up being very similar to just a return kind of situation. Maybe if they open it, they will like it and decide to keep it.
What part of the Metro Atlanta area are you hiding in? Julie B is up around Rome, GA up I-75. I am out in Gwinette County, Dacula, GA off I-85. Where abouts do you float around in? You may have mentioned that before. Why am I thinking you are down in south Atlanta, around the old Lakewood area and where all the movie studios have taken up residency. Just curious.
mike at MDCGFA
Funny too that she ordered and he says unauthorized. Wonder if “she” has to get permission? Also it hasn’t even been delivered yet and if it comes back to us, I wonder if it will be opened or not. If truly unauthorized you would think They wouldn’t even bother to open it.
But we all know how strange buyers can be in the “Ebay” online world.
