What are our operating expenses a year?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

4%

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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Maybe bookmark it in your browser?

I had the same question. I had put the link as a bookmark, but surely I sometimes just type amazon in the address bar because my passwords are saved. Is it essential to go in via the bookmark each time because I need to remember that.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I didn't realize it was that much!

(And we buy a lot of Lysine via Amazon.)
