No really I loaned salasio $25 to get a chuff-cutter... I don't know what a chuff-cutter is, I know I now want a chuff-cutter, does anyone know of any chuff-cutter-mongers in the uk, I'd like, obviously, to try chuff-cutting with a chuff-cutter before fully committing myself to the enterprise

Oh and I don't know if you've noticed that all the farmers in Ecuador live by the same lake

No they pay you back

then you can reinvest with someone else. It's a virtuous circle. And you can give Kiva vouchers as gifts to those you have no idea what to buy :thumbsup:
