[9:16pm] Joe: https://www.zazzle.com/store/uspirateparty
[9:16pm] jokeefe: resent
[9:16pm] Bosun: They all take a bite of the money.
[9:17pm] Joe: I object, if the money was properly handled we would not have lost it.
[9:17pm] Joe: Money left lying around goes missing really quickly
[9:18pm] Sayyida: helped if we knew the account existed joe
[9:18pm] Sayyida: the  email said it was usage fees
[9:18pm] Bosun: only is someone takes it,
[9:18pm] Sayyida: think of a bank and their account fees
[9:18pm] jokeefe: There are campaign finance reporting issues. Keeping the money in paypal makes it more difficult accounting wise and we run the risk that paypal locks us out and take our money.
[9:19pm] jokeefe: harder for banks to do that.
[9:19pm] Joe: It was before we had full control Sayyida, though it does not do well to dwell on past mistakes. Only learn from them.
[9:19pm] Sayyida: we are lucky we didn't go negative
[9:19pm] Sayyida: yea it does, so cut the bull.
[9:20pm] jokeefe: Anyhow, to have them write us a check, we need to provide a mailing address and Tax ID number
[9:20pm] Sayyida: easy to do now with what we have set up
[9:20pm] Joe: Aye
[9:20pm] Bosun: OK we have that.
[9:21pm] Joe: We should be good moving forward.
[9:21pm] Bosun: I have a little 3ft monster trying to steal my keyboard.
[9:22pm] Sayyida: hahaha
