Good afternoon, dear friends. I hope all is well in your corner of the world. FINALLY!!!! We have our PayPal account back, thanks in part to mylot. I told Mike last week I hate I wouldn't be getting paid from here because them restricting our account. He said why not turn on the payment here again and see what happens. Yesterday he got an email stating I was paid from here but they needed information before they would accept it. After dealing with them online this morning he said let's call and you talk with them since it is dealing with mylot. I was already pretty much in my Yosemite Sam personality So I called, and the first lady was irritated that I was irritated. She put me on hold, came back and then abruptly hung up on me. That stepped up my Yosemite Sam, trust me. Smoke coming out of my ears. Call back, got a different lady, told her all that was going on and in 2 minutes she had unrestricted our account, made sure payment from here and Mike's payment from the survey he did in February (which was why they restricted the account in the first place, he made $10 instead of his normal $3-5.00) was placed into our account. She asked if we were expecting anything else and we weren't. I don't like going Yosemite Sam but sometimes it pays off. She apologized profusely for them taking so long. Said she saw where Mike had called multiple times and said whomever he talked with should have fixed it then for him. We thanked her for being so helpful and respectful. Last week the aurora borealis (northern lights) came way down here in the southern US. I have always wanted to see them and by God's grace He sent them to us. They were absolutely beautiful. I have a lot of pictures that friends took. I took pictures but they weren't as lovely as theirs, they have much newer phones than I. I attached one of their photos here. Over the weekend a friend, who once came to church, was killed in a motorcycle accident. He leaves behind a 3 year old daughter. Very sad, he was young, 38. He wasn't as fault, another man didn't see him and hit him and ran him over. It's been another rainy week here. I was able to get our yard mowed on Monday just before the rain began. I'll probably not get the church yard done until next Monday because rain is forecasted each day until then. Thankful for the rain. Normally when July comes around, we don't get as much, so hopefully this rain will help keep us out of our drought. Time will tell. Well friends I have other work that needs to be tended to. I will be back in a little while to see what has been going on in your part of the world. picture from a friend from last week's northern lights display, about 10-15 miles from home.

@Dena91 I did tell one.."He was very unhelpful." .They have just gotten so un user friendly all of a sudden.

@snowy22315 Toni was the lady we talked with today and she was super nice. She said there was no reason to keep our account locked for 3 months. We explained all we do is get some small amounts of money from survey sites, we don't sell anything, we don't accept money from other people (she asked of any relatives/friends send us money)

I'm so glad PayPal restored your account, and everything is good once again. I'm sorry someone hit your friend on the motorcycle and ran him over. It's so sad he leaves a three-year-old child behind. I love your picture of the northern lights.

That's so good that you got the problem fixed. Some people are just so helpful and polite while others really couldn't care less. I'm glad you got to see the lights. That would have been very special.

Great picture. We lived on Lake Erie for 7 years and saw the Northern Lights one evening. Amazing. I'm glad you got a good rep and got your Paypal account straightened out. I'm sorry to hear about your friend. That's very sad.

Glad things worked out with you PayPal. I got to cash out on a survey site again today and PayPal gave me a headache, I always get in there when I need to and suddenly today it wanted to check up on me, I don't have a mobile phone but if I need any calls my friend Nick takes them on his phone, So they send a message for a code to him and then tell me that they still cannot verify me, Finally very simply they sent another code to my email and now everything ti just fine
