Re: another Paypal question - 2 days ago
Quotespace-time My consumer advocate hero Clark Howard hates Zelle with a passion, though. I am curious why, I don't follow him but now I need to look this up. Does he had podcasts, or a log that you follow? He's podcasted for years even as he continued his radio work. as of january he has gone off broadcast radio completely and doing only podcasts though he may still be doing some TV worby graylocks - Tips and Deals
Re: another Paypal question - 2 days ago
you can have your client select friend in your personal account but If your client is paying with a credit card there will be fees involved. i'm never really sure if the payer or payee pays them. There would be no fees if paying a friend from a bank account debit or a PayPal balance. AFAIK, Venmo does not have a credit card option so again it has to be from a bank account or Venmo balance.

i tried it for two months but the novelty wore off for me. i think it would have been better if i had gotten it up on a TV rather than trying to follow on my iPad. since i was nursing a knee injury i didn't try any of the walking or dance ones. mostly did yoga and have found how much at this age doing exercises that involve getting up/down on the floor just don't work well for me. i did thinkby graylocks - Tips and Deals

Following up on suggestions in this thread about my printer no longer duplexing I can report that all is well now though I don't exactly know why. I think perhaps these machines have become sentient.

Quotespace-time If you like the 1Password, I think you can still get a stand-alone license (no subscription) and to can store the keychain on the local machine.
