Sirius XM Radio Customer Service SUCKS

 Did I mention that Sirius XM Radio Customer Service SUCKS. Absolutely the worst I have encountered in recent years.

Ebay Uber Amazon Etzy taxes will change in 2022

 Currently on eBay the tax rules are set that if you make less than 200 sales and less than $19,999.00 in money received you to do get a 1099. On the other hand if you make 198 sales for anything below $2 million you do not get taxed. The trigger for a 1099 is any received money with over 199 sales and the amount of money will be $600.00 for the year. The days of having a few different eBay accounts and not selling over 199 items with no restrictions on the money received will be over in 2022.

Sellers on  eBay with let's say ten accounts selling 195 items for $30,000 a year tax free are over. Using ten eBay accounts as a method to avoid taxes would yield a person $300,000 tax free. Using any of these methods you can't write any money off so no deductions.

Let's say as an example someone had ten friends that each had their own eBay account. People could make 195 sales on each for $50,000 or less or more. As long as you do not exceed 199 total sales in a year you'd not be taxed. This is how it has been since 1997 on eBay.

In 2022 the trigger to get a 1099 on any of the following eBay Uber Amazon Etzy and others will be $599.99 in a year. Number of sales no longer matters.

The days of paying people for usage of their eBay account and generating $20,000+ a year tax free will soon be over. 

Thank you



Supporting Local Businesses During COVID 19

A few days ago I talked to the owner of`the dry cleaner near my house. He and his wife recently had a baby girl. Once he told me all about his baby girl we moved onto business. In an middle class area of town his once booming business is failing. I agree everyone now is working from home and his business has slowed to a trickle. Most everyone is working from home and not getting much of any clothing dry cleaned.

I would like everyone in the nation to think about this and maybe once a month get some clothes dry cleaned. We depend on this business every week and now it is a non essential business. Spend maybe $50.00 a month getting clothing dry cleaned. We are all saving money on fuel for our vehicles and not going out as much so you know as I know we certainly can afford it. Tell them you aren't in a hurry so they can maximize the loads.
Thank you

Always Wear a face Mask When Near Other People

So the doctors state that to catch the virus you must inhale an exhale from an infected person. The moisture mist will enter your lungs and bingo baby in 14 days you have it. A sneeze blasts the moisture mist everywhere and if you walk into the area once again you are toast.

In quick stores and picking up meals to go slip that damn mask on. It is better to be safe then sorry.

Outside walking around the moisture mist from the exhale or cough is quickly diluted and it is doubtful you'll get the virus unless you are in a crowd or next to the infected person. Driving in your vehicle alone you are safe.

Here is a link to a World Virus Counter. Always at the top check yesterday as well as today.

Be good and be safe.

BMW Windshield Molding Replacement

A 2012 BMW 328i Windshield Molding Replacement at the local BMW dealership was quoted as $627.00 for the rubber molding. The windshield
if broken during the process is my fault not the dealership's. Yes
near 285 and i75 in Atlanta recently quoted me this. The molding around
the windshield has dry rotted. Needs to be replaced.

A third party quoted me $750 to replace the molding.

The 2012 BMW 328i Windshield Molding can be found online for $35.00 to
$75.00. Not OEM. I am guessing.

I took the BMW to a local windshield replacement company and the molding
was replaced for $125.00 in two hours. The molding is not OEM but that's ok.

BMW and Mercedes Benz or whatever windshield molding needs to be
replaced call your local windshield replacement company.

Thank you

Tracking a Cell Phone by Number or ESN Number

Wanting to figure out where an employee or friend is by tracking the phone number or by ESN number is tough search. Most of the free programs aren't free. I tried a few without paying and I think they all sucked. Some were priced at $15 and some at $39.99.

I use the T-Mobile and on any plan you have there is a add on  The family plan
The plan costs $5.99 a month and is awesome. Gives you the opportunity to see within a couple hundred feet where the cell phone is. You then have the opportunity to set the phone to your number even though the text or call different number. They will have no idea until they get you VM recording. Texts they'll not know anything. Any options are limiting minutes, data and tests. Loose your cell then set the alert to text you when the phone is turned on. You then can send the thief a text message.

You can add this to employee cell phones or girl friend anyone.

This another reason to use T-Mobile.

Thank you

Dog Food Review 2019

No children but we have always had puppy children so the wife says. Chinese Shar-Pei's for years. The life span of a Shar-Pei is 9-11 years. Brandy lasted 10 years. One died at 5 years old.  Kidney failure.  Bosley.  Ozzybird passed away a few months ago at 8 in November 2018. A blue Shar-Pei. Kidney failure. Super sad.


We buy the top rated dry dog food. The top of the line wet food.  Best reviews. At we begin to notice the dogs breath is bad. Occasional with Ozzy and Bosley I switched them to a raw diet. Buying boneless skinless chicken breasts and putting them in a blender then adding bone meal and then bagging it all and freezing the bags.  Once every 25 days I prepare more food. Breath becomes clean and neutral but the damage has been done and they within a year or two die of kidney failure.
We fed our puppy children a dog food made let's say made by BB. 

I watched and read about Burt Ward aka Robin on the Batman show. He offers dog food dry and wet. All his dogs live 15 to 20 years. A non profit business. The Wards have money and don't need more so in my mind they care. They care about dogs and are not motivated to take short cuts and make more money. 

We have two west highland terriers. I had to prepay online at Walmart online to get a 35 pound bag of dry. $35.00 Last week I ordered a case of wet food from Walmart online. Picked the case of 12 a few days ago. $39.99. Today is January 14th, 2019. 

Our terriers had bad breath a week ago. I started them on Gentle Giants dry and within three days their breath is clean smelling no smell. They love the food wet and dry. 

We have come to the conclusion we killed our dogs by feeding them BB. I could cry even now that we cut our puppy children's lives so short by feeding them what we did. Should BB be BS? It is all the top rated dog food actually. Probably 99.5% of all the dog food wet or dry out there sucks. 

Today a week before Atlanta hosts the 2019 Super Bowl a vet asks Why are we feeding our dogs grain free. The doctor goes on to state that grain free reduces the chances of infections in dogs. Then he states that most all the infections are from the lamb, chicken and or beef not the grains.
I will never go the specialty dog food place to buy what they think is excellent dry and wet dog food. I never go to the big box pets store again either. I will now feed my puppy children fabulous food made by frigging Robin. The cape crusader. 

So if you love your puppy children and have friends that also have puppy children then please oh please check out the link below and give them a whirl. This dog food has obviously changed our dogs lives and ours as well. 


I remember in the 60's a neighborhood party at the circle a couple houses from where we lived. One guy kept pouring beer in a cup and a dachshund would drink it. Later on you could watch the dog walk and it's back end wasn't aligned with it's front legs. 
Once again the consumer is being screwed by the lousy dog food manufacturers.  Grain free is just crap. Yes sir it costs us more to get those nasty grains out of the food.

How many people that read this remember feeding the dogs in the 1960's? Hell they would eat anything from ice cream, peas, hamburger whatever you flipped on the kitchen floor without getting caught by mom. Dogs back then didn't die of kidney failure. They were fat and happy.

The dog food manufacturers are more concerned about profits than the dogs.






Ebay Feedback Calculator

Millions of people buy and sell various things on Ebay. Occasionally someone will get mad and leave a negative comment.  I've gotten one and have called Ebay a few times trying to figure out how many sales I need to make to get my percentages up to at least 99.5 or higher. 

A couple months ago and Ebay representative told me that their was a formula and as the conversation continued I forgot to get it.

Today searching the internet I have found the answer.

Here it is.

Hope this helps anyone and everyone. No registration no log in just the formula.
Thank you

Tesla Model S on Autopilot Test


Yes you really should click on this link and watch the 1.25 minute 
video showing how Tesla operates on the highway while on auto-pilot 
aka cruise control. The next time everyone reads about a Tesla Crash 
while on autopilot will think of this movie. Elon Musk is a genius and 
his automobiles are not really at fault are they?

Cryptocurrency Investing 2018

Please read this whole page before clicking links. Unregulated and running 24/7. On the far right click view all. The highest price sorts to the top. The first is Bit20 coin is trading today May 15th, 2018 8:40 AM EST at $836,429.00. Once you get past that shocker then click on 24 hour change. Yescoin up 4063% in 24 hours. Investing $250.00 yesterday would have gotten you 2.9 million coins.
Forgetting the number of coins. Doesn't matter.
This matters,
$250.00 invested over 24 hours ago times 4063% Equals $10,232.00.
$50.00 invested over 24 hours ago times 4063% Equals $2031.00
Bunnycoin I invested pretend a week ago and I am up to $1987.00 after investing $500.00. May 20th I am still up to $1036.00 Personally I would sold it by now.
Look at coins here.   The link will open a new Google Tab.

On the far right of the page click view all. If you don't you will only sort the first 100.
So click again on the price tab. Sort bringing up the lowest priced coins to
the top. At the bottom of the page click to the 21st page. You will now see
coins priced at .000000600, Investing $10.00 a week in them all or a few.

Apparently first you must buy a tiny percentage of a bitcoin. then sell it and invest in lower priced coins.

2018 top Cryptocurrency brokers USA Link This will open a second Google Tab.

I pretend I began investing a week ago. I found this website and I add coins
that are trading at about .00000XX. I pretend $500.00 in each. I add them into my account. Here. The link will open third Google Tab. The portfolio page does not allow you toi save the investment amount of money so just to watch use the same amount for all.

Update: I had pretended I invested TTC Protocol. My $500.00 went up to $62,500.00 in six months. Today is October 11,2018.So I guess if you are lucky picking a coin you can make serious money.

Update: December 7, 2018. All my investments have tanked. I had pretended
that I had invested $11,000.00 in 22 various cryptocurrencies. In less than a year the value of my account as of today would have been $1084.23. Investing into anything that isn't backed up with hard core data or information is ridiculous.

Movie pass as an example sounds great if explained stating membership totals and early reviews however a loser.

Update: January 23, 2019. If I had invested real money I would be broke.
Update: April 20, 2019 My total value had I really invested $11,000 now is at $1,174.00.

Update: August 2, 2021 Well as I often have said you do not realize
the loss of any investment till you sell it. it has been a little over two years since I have checked this and well my portfolio is now worth. $518,661.09

Cryptocurrency is not based on anything. No earning report nothing. Just a name and an idea of future business.

Investing The new Nasdaq

Tesla has announced a stock split. Five for one. Stock price is hovering at $2,000 per share. So most of us have money to invest and as an example $2,000.00. At $2,000 a share we'd get one share. Whoopie. At the end of August actually the 31st the stock split will occur and the stock will then be $400 a share. Five shares. Well I think anyone and everyone will buy it at $400 per share and in a two year period it will be back to $2,000 a share. Then your investment will be worth a cool $10 grand. Maybe in a few years it will do it again and again.

People talk about high risk high gain. Twenty two years ago I did great investing.
This is when Netscape was coming into play. Cisco before all the splits.
Now there is Cryptocurrency Investing.

My father asked me to explain to him what I knew about investing in the stock market. PE? he asked me umm I'm not sure. Something times earnings umm I'm not sure. So what the hell makes you think you'll make money he asked me as he sipped his Johnny Walker on the rocks.

Well look at the this and I opened the Atlanta Journal Newspaper to the stock pages. See here if I had 100 shares of this stock I would have made $200.00 today.

He then asked me what all the columns were. Volume high low pretty easy but he'd come back to the PE. I told him as I sipped my Bacardi and Coke You know I don't know and I don't really care. You see look at this I would made blah blah blah. 

In January 1996 I bought 300 shares of Cisco. CSCO at about $4.03 a share I was frigging thrilled. My father told me I was an idiot. February 1996 a 2 for 1 split. 12-97 a 3 for 2 split then 9-98 3 for 2 split then 6-99 a 2 for 1 then 3-2000 a 2 for 1. I had 5400 shares.  Then March 18th 2000 I panicked. It is at $70.00 a share I put a stop lose in at $65.00 and a sell at $80.00. Ten minutes later I freaking out and told my investment banker to dump it all now. In fact I told her to dump everything I had. I was luckily ten months before the
day of the big correction. Dumped my IBM, Motorola, Home Depot.

President Trump Audit Credit Card Charges All Politicians

If someone that works for the Federal Government spends money that is out of line then they should have to repay the money. Federal Government employees that have credit cards are all expenses for only job related requirements?. I doubt it.
Hell this is where are tax dollars are going. This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen.

$122,000.00 for a two day meeting in Europe is nuts. The entire trip was ten days but no one asked me to approve this. The below I found on the internet.
Sen. Charles Schumer spent $292,000 in public money flying private airplanes in 2015. 
Sen. Kristen Gillibrand spent more than $150,000 on charter travel.
Republican Sen. John Barrasso of Wyoming spent more than $75,000 in 2015 year flying charters.

$191,000.00 for Doors?
2009  Sens. John Cornyn and Chuck Schumer each spent more than $140,000 in taxpayer money on travel in the first half of the fiscal year. On Dec. 2, for example, Schumer spent $4,000 to take a private plane from New York City to Albany and back again. Delta and US Airways both fly that 140-mile route several times a day, with fares ranging from around $400 to less than $200 if purchased in advance.
Searching on the internet I have found that

Congress has 535 voting members:made up of 435 Representatives and 100 Senators. I would suggest the audit begins there. At first just audit two months. December 2017 year end totals and January 2018. If anything is found out of line then all agencies of the Federal Government needs to be audited.

Maybe begin auditing what the government is spending money on.

I would venture to guess if a Federal Government employee buys something
for an office and it does not work then they just put whatever it is in a closet and at some point later either throw it away, give it away or take it home.

I think the Federal Government should issue cell phones Federal Government employees to be used on job and not for personal usage. How many Federal Government employees buy and pay for personal cell phones used for both personal and business use.

How many Federal Government employees used their expense account to buy the new iPhone X?

Auditing our house will reduce enough money to fully fund the Social Security and that damn wall he wants.

Thank you


AT&T U-verse TV Wireless Receiver

ATT U-Verse upped the bill $5.00 a month. So we have three TV's. One newer DVR receiver.  So they upped my bill five dollars and I will show you how to save $15.00 a month. Change out the receivers and once you buy install and verify it works then send them the old receivers.The DVR is ATT U-verse branded with the model number PH8005.
EBay click here $30.00 delivered. Three months investment back. Bill down $10.00 a month. Amazon click here. Nope not there.
On my additional TV's is a Cisco ISB7005 or PN: 4040836. Most are under $25.00 delivered. A couple months your investment is back bill goes down $10.00 a month.
Amazon click here. Nope not there.
Most are used on EBay. Spending under fifty dollars in three months your investment has paid off the bill will go down $20.00 but really $15.00 because it went up $5.00.

So I spent $180.00 a year for five years on two things I could have bought for $50.00. I suggest that you do this right away. I spent $900.00 over the five years. 
Guess you are still doing this. huh? 

We have signed up with Direct TV. Going through Costco we get one DVR at no cost forever. $300.00 cash back. Costco deal here.
Thank you

GenX Millennials Baby Boomers

Here are the birth years for each generation:
  • Gen Z, iGen, or Centennials: Born 1996 and later. 21 to 39 years old
  • Millennials or Gen Y: Born 1977 to 1995. 40 to 51 years old
  • Generation X: Born 1965 to 1976. 52 years old
  • Baby Boomers: Born 1946 to 1964. Toast Doesn't matter
  • Traditionalists or Silent Generation: Born 1945 and before

It seems that the end of the baby boomers is upon us as big businesses try to adapt to the millennials and soon the GenZ. 

The new stadium in Atlanta was designed to be loved by the millennials and it has worked. The Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Microsoft Office Professional 2016

In the United States it is illegal to buy and sell Microsoft software with a keycode. Apparently not in Europe. Office Professional with the disk is $380.00 plus. On Ebay there is a seller with this listed for sale at $14.00. You need to log out of your Microsoft account and uninstall any older versions. You'd then buy it off Ebay. The instructions are simple. The seller emails you detailed instructions. The serial number is included. The software is downloaded from Microsoft then you merely put in the key code. The seller emails the buyer the instructions and key code with in 20 hours. The seller does not mail the disk.

I have included a link at the bottom of this post Here.
The installation has all the programs. If you search on Google for Ebay. Then enter the Ebay website. Next merely copy my header or this Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016 the listing will come up. You can also copy this and search as well Microsoft Windows 10 Professional. $5.82. The seller in this listing has sold over 29,000 installations.  Well that seller on Ebay is in jail or vacationing at the beach.  Here.  

Searching on that header you will see one seller has sold 10,000+ copies.


The person I bought mine from is probably in Siberia. The link above is working again. The only thing I would do differently is have an account with Microsoft then one you download and install you  activate the software in your account. I didn't do this and in my laptop it is fine and on my desktop it isn't.

2973 installations have been sold. 1057 are watching. $13.35 total cost. As of March 10th 74 % have been sold. This one listing the person is selling 200 a day.

Let us look at this in a different point of view. Pretend you are on business or traveling and you are in Europe and you see this listing. You buy it and install the software. A few days later you return to he United States. Are you in violation of any Microsoft laws. I doubt it.

Works great. Installation is in any language you desire.

Watch this one minute movie showing an example
of why some people have died using 
Tesla Autopilot.

Downloaded and Installed Virus

I tried to find a patch to allow me to play a game on my
home computer. Well during this moment of stupidity I
downloaded and willingly installed a virus.

I think as I remember I was more caught up in the
excitement that I had found a patch. The patch from hell.

A day after I installed the patch my home computer began
showing the symptoms of a virus. My search engine changed
to search.com. At first Yahoo changed then MSN then Google.

Crap. Uninstalled the patch  Worthless move. Damage done.
No longer did I care about the frigging game. Minutes turned
into hours then days as I spent my free time battling the
Virus.

Messing with the regedit deleting and deleting I finally installed
Zemana and this free trial cleared the issue up. Using Google
in forums I found a solution. Search for one line of code and delete
it. search.ch was gone.

Huge waste of time.
Thank you
