Have been checking daily for your 0.001 steem transfer with your encrypted email address. Hope my mobile screen captures did not confuse the issue. βœŒπŸ’›

Ha! It may have worked at last. At first however, I received this message:
Transaction-Broadcast-Error-08-06-2019-01.jpg

But then, I perused the master key and it seemed to have worked. :-)
Thank You so much for Your patience!

After all the events of the last few month, I feel like I could start writing again. Although I am not sure how to bridge the gap. Where to start - what to write about in this time of great upheaval. As I cherish Your opinion about Life a lot, You might have an idea about how that could be done?
My deep appreciation and gratitude for Your invaluable emotional and practical support. May the Universe give me the opportunity to return all the favors You extended to me.

TΓ© pasar lindo!

Congrats on your first STEEM transfer! Honored to have been part of it.

When trying to send some funds to the supplied email address PayPal displayed a notice which was the first time for me seeing it. The screen capture is below.

It then occured to me that perhaps you have a beingtheuniverse.com web site, yet when trying to access it the following notice was returned.

The universe seems hell bent to tell us something... just not sure what. Maybe your PayPal friendly email address is caught in a catch 22, of sorts, due to present settings?

Where to start - what to write about in this time of great upheaval.

The only advice that comes to mind is the old adage, write about what you know. 😎

This is the result of me not having been able to renew my website. It has gotten more expensive every year and due to not having fund in my bank account, beingtheuniverse defaulted. I need to look into the paypal thing, but there, too I am not able to get out of this business account. I know that when I delete it, then I won't be able to open up a new account, because I am in Uruguay now.
It is a mess.

"Write about what you know" is great advice. The problem with that is that I know too much. ;-D

Yeah it may be best to leave PayPal alone as they seem to have different policies and fees depending where the recipicant is located; so best to let that sleeping dog lie perhaps.

Paypal really screwed up an online business of mine and another partner, in the early part of this century, when they froze our account temporarily. It was long enough for our servers to be taken down due to non-payment. By the time things were put right the business was ruined. They are not a bank and can fo whatever the hell they want.

Was your site a blogging format as well? Might be great to migrate that content to the blockchain, if you have backups.

The hashtag! I forgot the hashtag. I knew there would be something and being unsure does not help. It would have been much smarter to ask You one more time. C'est la vie, as the French say. I hope there are not a lot of folks jumping on that email. But there are likely bots that do nothing else but scanning the memory fields. πŸ™ˆ
There is a lot going on with my parents and it does drain my freshly recovered energy. It's moot to ask why, because I know why. It scares the blood out of my face to think that I will end up in this hefty feud. Doubts are creeping in. To leave everything behind that I have mastered so far and to start all over again freaks me out now.
And yes, I have only had troubles with paypal customer support. They are not in the business of helping their clients. One time I had to raise my voice about the being sent around in an endless circle - from one customer service rep to the next and after four hours I ended up where I started. Happened several times. The other issue is that I will have to transfer any funds to my bank account in Hawai'i. That not only takes time, but also fees, as You stated. And a good amount of uncertainty. Who knows what else they come up with. In all, I found out that all these places are for the rich. Since they are not depending on the funds they are shuffling around, there are no problems. Problems only arise when one is like in my case depending on it working. The one time it did, was when I sold some things on ebay before I left Hawai'i. I wonder if Western Union would be possible? My Mom uses it. It is cheap, international and the funds are available within 15 minutes. I would give You my specs after the hashtag. 😌

Here is the last screenshot of my website. I used QWB web builder. It is a quite nice replacement for iWeb, that I made my first website with.

My thing is that I get really obsessed with making it the way I like it. Templates have never worked for me. They drive me nuts, as what I want is seldom compatible with what the masses care for. Which could be called eccentric? 😭

All the fees and hassles certainly makes a good case for crypto mass adoption. The reason PayPal was suggested as my account has surplus cash in it from a past payment. Not wanting to link my bank account it sits there for online uses.

We are in agreement about HTML page templates. There has been many an hour invoiced by me to undo the spaghetti coded markup mess left behind by a web design package put out by Adobe if memory serves.

Do you have backups to be able to resurrect the site?

I will try one more thing and send you another transfer. Because I do have a paypal.me account as well. I believe so.

Ok, yet remember to place a hash sign (#) as the first character in the memo field. πŸ˜‰

Ha, ha, ha! It gets better every time. But now I was told that I have to use my 'private memo key'. Is that the 'private posting key'? I am nicely confused, but know that You are exemplary in Your patience with me. :-) Soon, people will want to look at this, because there are so many replies to the original small piece. One thing though - that I consider my strongest suit - is perseverance. Lauded all of my Life for it, I consider it one of the greatest gifts the Universe can bless a human being with. Provided the subject is for the good of all mankind...

It may be best to try my novacadian AT gmail DOT com address again?

I did. But by now I guess I am too stupid for it to work. Or even more stupid by not figuring out that it would never work. I am really glad I am not depending on it working. Thank You anyways.

Good news! It worked! 😎

Will drop you an email. Looks like a nice service which you are using!

How does the old notion go? 'You know what You're doing - if You do it all the time'. As far as I remember it is also part of the lyrics of the Blues song 'Do You love me?' by Willie Kent. Although in a very different context...😎

My apologies. I have been suffering from no internet/extremely slow internet for over a week now. Today even with power failure. My Mom is freaking out if she can't get a hold of me. It's a mess that has certainly to do with the present state of the world. Uruguay is at the mercy of the wannabe empire. Things are getting out of hand here in a very concerning way. After all the Uruguayan people are really very lovely people. To see how it all crumbles is quite frightening. I need to wait out three more month for Petey. Ay caramba!
Tomorrow my veterinary will come by to draw blood from Peteyboy. There will be time to follow Your instructions. I took the bicycle to town today to buy two large bags of ant poison. It is the only way to prevent my house from sinking. There must be a huge colony under the house. I found a spot under the kitchen cabinet where they had thrown out a five gallon bucket of granulate like earth from under the house. It's a trip how these guys take over. But the ride did not promote betterment, because there was a cold wind blowing. Thankfully it should not be as cold tonight as the last two days. We had hoarse frost.
Here is a little capture of my morning temp on the computer. Hopefully the worst is over now. It looks like we can stay over 7ΒΊC in the night this week. :-)

Constructed an ant colony in a cracked aquarium as a child. Fascinating watching providing they are not into one's food supply. 😎

It is truly amazing to watch them. However, these are leaf cutter ants and they have cut up all my vegetables. They love Kale and Roses. It does not take long and there are no leaves left on the plant. If they would only cut up weeds, there wouldn't be a problem. But they are specialized on the same plants humans use - both edibles and ornamentals as well. I had to place my little Chrysanthemum onto a little island surrounded by water to save it. The large tree is safe, as they don't climb up high. They are ground cutters. Although there will be no more cutting here right now...

Yeah, many a fascinated hour was spent watching their antics. 😎

This is one aspect that I really love about Uruguay: the insect world is amazing. Today I worked for some time in the yard and cleaned the area around Honeyboy's intended grave that never was. I had planted an Avocado tree there instead, but the frost did it in. When I removed the cardboard I had placed under earth that I had dug out, I discovered a number of insects that looked like Aliens. As someone who has a great admiration for invertebrates, I was thrilled to see spiders that looked like the invaders from 'The War Of the Worlds'. Absolutely amazing - up to the same coloring! I showed it to my SeΓ±ora that comes with her two cows to graze. And she was not thrilled! :-D Then I discovered what looked like the hair of the Medusa! A moving, wiggling congregation of small, black caterpillars. And a number of large worms. They really do love their decomposing card board. Hopefully I will be able to use my macro lens before I leave. It requires a lot of time and dedication to work it though. But the results are always astonishing. I do my best to capture some of these amazing critters for You. :-)

The eyes on that critter are AMAZING! 😎

I may have messed up writing my email in the 'message' field. I am getting phishing emails. Just my luck. Can that be undone in any way?

My thought was that you did not add the hash (#) at the beginning of the memo field in order to encrypt it. Can't redo it at this point unfortunately.
