YSaC, Vol. 777: Under new management.

Website management


I am interested in purchasing a website. The site will most likely be already bringing in 300-600 per month. I know very little about websites, code, ect. I will monitor any PayPal accounts, ect for unusual activity. that are connected with the website. I am strictly interested in this from a profit view point. I’ll purchase the website. You will run the website. You will get a discussed percentage of the profit each month. If we do well then I will have money to buy more websites. Which means you will make more money also. You will be a independent contractor not a partner so i can fire you if you do something stupid. Email me with what you think.

Dear loyal readers of YSaC,

drmk and I are pleased to announce a change in management here at your daily snark-fest. While you will see no change in the website from your end, and may continue your witty and erudite commentary as per usual, we have opted to merge with a soon-to-be larger concern. This will allow us to make less money than we currently do from the site, and therefore dedicate less time to it while simultaneously running the risk of being fired for doing the exact same thing we were doing while self-employed. Actually, I haven’t told drmk about this yet, but I’m sure she’ll be thrilled.

Thanks for the heads-up on the opportunity, KT!

Round table with skirt 19” tall, 26” high with cloth – $5


Round table with skirt 19” tall, 26” high with cloth.

This is a nice round table with a navy cloth. I think the top is pressed wood. The legs are stained but don’t show with the cloth on. It is a good functional table.



OK, even ignoring the fact that this is the visual equivalent of Philip Glass Sells a Table, Amy, who sent this in, brings up the most important question: What kind of table cloth is seven inches tall?

Thanks, Amy!

YSaC, Vol. 775: LBJ, IRT, USA, DDT

Wanted: DDT — URGENT!!!!


My organic garden has been facing a lot of pressure from pests this season, and I am looking for a reliable DDT wholesaler to help me out with this problem. I have a double lot in SE Portland, and am unsure how much DDT is necessary to effectively eradicate the spiders, slugs, etc that are currently plaguing me. I appreciate the natural balance of the earth and sun, but sanitizing the soil again this year has not effectively decimated the natural insect population. In fact, they’re back stronger than ever!!!! Also, my neighbors’ dogs are poorly penned and are persistent in their destruction of my entire basil crop. I think that DDT will help. I haven’t been able to find any online merchants, and Portland Nursery, The Garden Spout, The Urban Farm Store, etc are unwilling to help me. They don’t seem to understand the needs of an organic, urban gardener. I’m so disappointed. I’m hoping to start an organic CSA program before the end of the summer, and my inability to find useful, safe, environmentally-friendly pesticides is really hampering my ability to do so. If anyone out there can help, or direct me to a supplier, please contact. SOON!

Mmmm, nothing says “organic” like a good shot of DDT. Yep, nothing eliminates pesky insects, spiders, slugs, and DOGS in quite as environmentally friendly a way as one of the most infamous pesticides of all time. Then again, let’s give this person the benefit of the doubt. It’s still organic if you use a container of pesticide to bludgeon your problem animals, right?

Thanks for the link, Stephanie!

Table Lages


I’m looking for lages for this table if you have them call with your price

According to Wikipedia:

“Lages, formerly Lajens, is a Brazilian town located in the central part of the state of Santa Catarina, in the region known in Portuguese as “Planalto Serrano”.”

Obviously, this table is utterly incomplete without a central Brazilian town known for an annual festival, cattle herding, and wood processing. I can’t tell you how many tables I’ve rejected at yard sales just because they were short an Urupema, a Rio Rufino, or (in extreme cases) a São José do Cerrito.

Thanks for the link, Krystle!
