Covert internal memo.
TL;DR?
I've set it up mission based, and provisions are low, but there's a float fund and I know my mom is going shopping...
I live walking distance from my parents, and they take care of my cat since I'm out of town more often than not. My niece has 2 cats and is trying to prove she can take care of more animals (wants to be a vet). I'll pay for, and set up a lot of things before I'll give up and actually clean the litter...

I don't know whats wrong with sellers over at Ebay UK. They refuse to ship their items international. I tried to buy an HD-DVD from 2 guys where I was willing to offer an equivalent of $33-41, but both refused my bid and sold their items for $13 and $8 . One of them I offered him a UK shipping address (I use forwarding mail service) and I will pay the postage. He canceled my $13 bid (which was set to bid up to $33) and sold the item for $8.

I have shipped some items I sold over eBay internationally, and TBH, it is a pain. I had to wait a very long time to get access to my funds even where the buyer used a US forwarding address.

I do not understand what you mean by you wait a very long time to get access to your funds? If you mean money transfer I use Paypal which is instant transfer.

It is an instant transfer, yes, but when you sell something on eBay, it holds your money "in trust" until the item is delivered and the buyer has the opportunity to provide feedback. If you ship an item overseas - even with a US forwarding address - it can take weeks to clear customs, and therefore, it can take weeks to receive access to your funds.

Good Google.

Does Kangaroo actually taste good?

Yes, it is like deer.

Speaking of which, if it doesnt rain this weekend I am building a deer fence.

I'm interested as well...
Emu tastes OK - kinda like dark-meat chicken but closer to steak. Not good at all overcooked. Turns bad like Lamb... Crocodile is really good - chickeny-flavoured, pork-textured white meat (tho that might've been because of how it was served)...
Deer, really? Like good wild, or |needs to be prepared properly to be enjoyed| wild?

Tastewise Kangaroo and Deer are similar. Kangaroo is kinda like Deer meets Buffalo. Its gamey but robust. Ive had it many different ways. I have some Deer Summer Sausage in my freezer right now that I use in peas sometimes. I cant just eat it directly or I will eat the entire log...

Neat! Now I'm craving Kangaroo. Do you think Wallaby is like veal of Kangaroo, because I know there's some Wallaby's closeby at the local exotic pet habitat...

Now that is a good question, I honestly dont know. Based on how meat develops in an average animal, it is likely that the taste would change similarly. However this is not the case in some "exotic" animals, where the young meat is significantly sweeter than the older. This is based on a college meat science class that I took about 10 years ago.
