   ### - ahaha the universe is taking the piss?? :)))   
      
   have made the sale, so that's a done deal; this month's sales have now   
   gone into new territory! (yaay!)   
      
   what's hilarious, however, is the WAY it's come through, almost like you'd   
   hold a biscuit above a dog's nose and make him jump for it a couple of   
   times?   
      
   i.e., some dude comes through wants a kindle copy, pays up-front and i   
   sends him the book, the crucial sale...   
      
   email bounces?? huh?   
      
   this is the email address paypal sits on as being verified, and it   
   bounces?? wtf!   
      
   can't do anything now except refund the dude as that's the only way to   
   speak directly to him by adding a note...   
      
   so refund and note sent... thought i'd prolly never hear from him again...   
   fuckin' universe is takin' the piss again hah, making me wait for it!?   
   pays no attention! (smile)   
      
   so the same dude comes through again this morning! pays upfront again!   
   fuckin' email BOUNCES again??   
      
   lol... but oh dear haha, can only refund him again as the only means of   
   speaking to him, including another note this time to contact me directly   
   via the website haha...   
      
   then a *3rd payment* from him arrives! with the same fucked up email??? W   
   T F !!! (really laffing)   
      
   only THIS time i also gets a personal email from him via the website from   
   a new email address...   
      
   end of story: he gets the book, i gots the money, whew! :)))   
      
   jump for the biscuit bonzo! you know you wants it: jump! jump!   
      
   and bonzo fuckin' jumps ahahaha :D gimmie! gimmie! ahaha :)))   
      
   fuckin' universe is teasing me, takin' the fuckin' piss...   
      
   BUT... have now made the sale that takes it into new sales territory folks!   
      
   'the' best month for sales to date no less! with currently 21 sales!   
   (woooo haha)   
      
   and with possibly several more by the end of the month!   
      
   cool :)   
      
   (am enjoying this haha...)
