The description in search engine results pages (SERPs) is called a 'snippet'.
Search engines will generally try to display a snippet which contains the keywords that have been used in the search or the description meta or even sometimes the dmoz description.
This is what Yahoo is doing for a search for 976easy.com, it finds it on every page of your site in the form webmaster@976easy.com so it displays it as the snippet.
It does not help that you are searching for your site using the domain name rather than a search term that someone might actually use.
On the other hand your site is so badly optimized that it is probably the only way it can be found in the SERPs :)

There is a very simple answer to your question. Your meta description tag is not formatted correctly for yahoo's spider. Honestly, most search engines no longer use meta tags to sort websites for keywords. Your best bet is to use your description to tell the most information about your website. Use your keywords, but they have to make sense to people. Right now, your description tag includes a bunch of words in no particular order. Certain things force a search engine to stop looking at a meta tag, like too many commas, or weird shapes.
You can see your source code by right clicking your mouse when viewing your page. This is what a search engine sees. If your meta description tag is formatted correctly, it should show the description in the serps
