And when they come and change the meter over, the electickery company will pay us! yay! no power bils AND they pay us...
AND Mr Govment is helping to pay for the installation!

I just went out the back to see what they had done as there is a lot of banging and drilling noise. There are two men on the roof and a couple of rails attached down to the tiles. Panels soon I hope.

i'm chatting with my best friend, who is following this couple online and kept thinking that they would break up sooner or later (young love and all that). now she's freaking out because apparently, the couple did fight and break up and one half of the couple killed himself.

connect them now. You could be making money!

@wyndslash I hope you (or your friend) are not getting in the middle of something really bad. Stay safe.

Sorry, I don't know how to do the YouTube thing, I'm sure you can find a version for yourself

wyndslash · 04-27-2011, 12:04 AM

so amazon can't put discounts on publisher books, right?

If the book is published by one of the big six publishers, no one can discount it, offer rewards on it, or in any other way lower the price on it. They can, however, (and some do) charge more for it.
The big six are:
HarperCollins
Simon and Schuster
Hachette
MacMillan
Penguin
and better late to the party than never (that was sarcasm)
Random House.

Again, if a book is published by one of those houses or one of their imprints (for example, Berkley is an imprint of Penguin), no discounts, rewards points, credit, or anything can be applied.
