    clearing up some lose ends

    I mentioned in a resent post a problem with slow pay from some of my venders. and an .88 per lb charge from fedex.

    I hope this post is not expunged for vindicating one of my buyers I do not want to leave a shadow of doubt where it is not deserved.

    !. the .88 cent charge by fedex was one of those rookie mistakes I talked about in my post. It was MY mistake by putting . in the wrong place the charge was actually .54

    2. slow pay from venders in no way shape or form reflects on E wasted his company has never been slow and has bent over backwards to help me grow. I have several buyers for metal scrap and cores who provide me with roll offs for those other then e waste items they use to pick up those roll off and pay me with in a day or two that turned into a week or two and seem now has turned into a month with some. This cash flow or rather lack there of has caused me to become slow pay with a couple of vendors who are members here. This is something I will not condone in any thing I'm involved with.

    In times past I could stay on top of this type situation It seem I can no longer do so.

    What I have accomplished to this point with great help from this forum and its members is nothing short of spectacular.

    I started with absolute 0, had no transportation and still have none. Every thing I have done has been with the help of this forum it's members, hard work, common sence, and shear will power.

    I will count this on my list as a success not a failure. If I had some one to turn this over to they would have a great start in life however the younger generation seems to have no interest in any thing these days but inventing a game or an app and get rich quick. I guess I have to count that as one of my big failures.

    Thank you all for the great posts and well wishes. 2 quotes come to mind at this time "you can't keep a good man down" and " I shall return". mcw
