There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, we are so not a CMS. Hand-stitched from the deepest layer.

Thread created.

I'm curious about the money the Amazon link brings in as well. I've been doing a fair amount of Amazon buying, and the affiliate link is my toolbar link to Amazon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Over the past year, we've made as much as much as $93 in a quarter, as little as $16. So it's a good chunk of change!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

What are our operating expenses a year?

A little more than $300 -- our hosting is $25/month, and there's some costs for renewing the address and stuff.

Which is amazing -- remember, we used to be on a $100/month plan!

Ann, that's a ferret.

Possibly silly question -- what is our deal with Amazon? What percentage of our purchase goes to the board?

I'm curious about how much I'm contributing by buying things such as Lysine from Amazon.

That's not bad at all, dang! And I had no idea affiliate links were 4%, that seems super high.

How do I make it so b.org is always my affiliate link for amazon? Because hi, I live in Seattle and use Prime like it's going out of style.
