I HATE that. People print useless shit on the color printer here all the time.

On the other hand, those are the printers that rarely jam.

There have been a lot of people in my town this weekend bumming money for "gas" this weekend. They are professional panhandlers. I just encountered one. But unlike most of them, she was a hot chick in her twenties. She asked if I had five or ten dollars so she get enough gas to get home. Before she approached me, I had been checking out her very nice ass. So I figured, even though she didn't really need gas, I owed her two bucks for looking at her ass. Is that technically prostitution?

old truck stop trick, many times some asshole or a chick would beat on the truck door and wake me and the wife up with a sob story about needing gas money at 3 in the morning, we occasionally got stuck at a stop for a more than one night and the same fucking people would tell the same story night after night.

It's an everywhere trick. Truck stops have no monopoly on it. The most successful ones I've seen were in Asheville. These two homeless guys each owned one nice set of clothes and a gas can. They'd hang outside of a bar near UNCA, and tell people they were students and needed to buy a gallon of gas to get back to the dorms. They cleaned up every night.

A girl did this with me a week ago. I was coming out of a Walmart and as I was getting into my car she asked if I had a dollar for gas. She was attractive and seemed to have her shit together so I gave her a dollar.

Anyway, to answer your question: maybe?

I had 21 bucks on me and I sure as hell wasn't giving her 20. I guess I could've taken her into the store with me and bought a candy bar, but she'd somehow end up with money and candy.

But yes, she only asked for a dollar and I was willing to part with it. Either I helped her get home or I helped her maintain her habit.

When you use a debit card to buy gas, they put a hold on it for a few days. I'm curious. Does anyone know if selecting "credit" instead of "debit" will keep that from happening? At one station where I guy gas, they only hold $50. But I bought gas at Martin's grocery tonight, and they put a fucking $100 hold on it. Fortunately, I can handle it right now. But if you have a bunch of outstanding checks, that can really screw you over.

I've never had them put a big hold on my debit card, but it is annoying that it takes so long to clear. Sometimes, I forget how much it was and end up overextending.

A hundred bucks seems excessive to me. I looked at my account, and it shows the $31 for the gas, AND $100 for the hold.

Yeah, that's not cool. They shouldn't be allowed to hold that much. Who has that much extra that often? I sure as heck don't.

PapaBear
11-18-2012, 08:06 PM
They should at least be required to post a sign saying what they hold. I've seen signs at Courtyard Marriot. They don't post the amount, but at least they warn you that it's happening. I'd imagine a hotel holds even more, since it's done in case you fuck up the room.

I just started making actual money. Therefore my credit score is 0. I'm not going to try one of those fucked up "get me credit" cards. I'll just wait until my car finally dies, and get a loan on a used one. I can get by paying for shit.

no, go credit union to start

they have good rates and aren't for profit

i also rec that you pay them off every month, not amass a thing so they simply work for you

you need to be disciplined and keep on the balances, but I haven't paid a charge since graduating college

i work these card companies like I work over WF in the politics thread

I'll look into the credit union thing. But I though if you pay off balances every month, they give you a bad rating. I remember reading a couple of years ago, that CC companies were actually dropping people who never carry a balance.

nah

i never heard of such a thing

I pay off everything monthly and they love that I use it everywhere bc they charge merchants every time I use it...especially amex

they make money on every level, and I happen to be their low risk/low reward type on the finance side, but a cash cow on the utilization end with merchants

plus, credit unions are in it for their members completely, they are not to be confused with banks at all

forte and SF's d

I'm not so sure on that. I only fear Bush vulturing some of Forte's work and a TD, but Forte should see the ball A LOT in this one. And when they put the ball up SF may very well make Campbell pay. One pic 6 or sack/fumble/td and you're on your way.

Forte is getting healthy too, so I could see a nice 18 carries, for 70 yards/6 receptions and 85 yards and a td.

Who's the push coming from? Your company? The bank? I enroll people in DD at my company and have seen maybe two of those over the past two years, and we have 15 locations. From my side, it's not any different from e rolling someone with a checking account. And fuck, every checking account comes with a debit card, so yeah, why not just get a checking account? It's basically what you've got, except you don't get checks. No clue.
I see commercials for it everywhere, and convenience stores like 7-11 have posters on their windows advertizing them. The big one on TV right now talks about how tax refund checks will soon all be paperless. You are encouraged (by the add) to get one of their prepaid debit cards, to have your paycheck and tax refunds direct deposited on them.

When the hell did "rain", or the occasional "precipitation", become "WET WEATHER"??

Go ahead. Say it. "WET WEATHER".

Now, imagine a nasal high pitched weather chick saying it repeatedly for 5 minutes every goddammed morning.

Is it a winter thing? So the stupid bitch doesn't have to try to differentiate between rain, sleet and snow? So it all just becomes "WET WEATHER"?

But who needs the service, and why? Who can't get a checking account, that doesn't charge you all of the fees that these prepaid cards do? Are they counting on an entire customer base of suckers, or are there reasons why some people can't get a checking account?

i think pre-paid credit cards and using sprint for a cell phone service are the fastest ways to build back a credit score especially if you've had your last checking account overdrawn and closed on you,banks are weary to open up a checking account to people that have had a forced closing/bad credit score/foreclosure/bankruptsy in the past 3 years

That all makes sense. What I've read was it appeals mostly to people with bad credit. Prepaid debit is really no different in anyway to a checking/savings account (which almost always) comes with a debit card itself. You can also get some prepaid debit cards without a ssn, if you're an illegal or just want to be shady.

I think you hit the nail on the head. And now that I think about it, the government would have a hart time coming after your money if it's on one of those.

I have two 15 pound exchange tanks that I use for other things and had mistakenly assumed were compatible with my new torch. Sumbitchin hell no they ain't. The 15 pound tanks have clockwise threads in the female part of the valve, as well as the clockwise male threads that tool-less regulators use. I cannot find a definitive adapter that will take the male reverse thread of the torch's hose and convert it to the male regular threaded fitting or the tool-less female fitting needed to plug this sumbitch into my existing tanks.

Young sitcom actors are usually older than the characters they play, so I guess it adds up. I didn't realize the show was that old. Thinking back, I guess it was on when I was in high school.

53 Things That Get Better With Age

by Michele Thompson

Unless you're talking about red wine or aged cheese, getting older is usually fraught with negative implications. But before you get down about getting older, think about it -- there are lots of things that improve with age. Here are 53 of them. Read on, then gain a new perspective!

Mind and Body

1. Wisdom: Sure, it's a little fortune cookie-ish, but consider this: You can acquire knowledge from a book, but only by living can you acquire wisdom.

2. Life stories: The longer you live, the more stories you have and the richer they become.

3. Emotional stability: Research shows that people get less neurotic as they get older.

4. Body image: You finally start appreciating the body you have.

5. Brain games: In response to research that cognitive training can keep your brain fit and reduce your chance of developing dementia or Alzheimer's disease, Web sites like Lumosity.com are continually creating fun and effective ways to exercise your noggin.

6. Vocabulary: And it isn't just because you do crosswords! As long as you keep reading, your verbal ability will continue to improve -- particularly your use of antonyms and synonyms.

7. Attention: Studies show that selective attention does not decline with age, meaning you can focus on crucial things and resist distractions that younger people may not be able to ignore.

8. Problem-solving skills: Research shows that the aging brain stores more mental outlines of generic problems and solutions that can be applied to new problems.

9. Expert knowledge: The information you learn about an occupation or even your favorite hobby resists the effects of aging.

10. Self-awareness: You become more attuned to both your mind and body. (The good and the bad!)

11. Patience: You've learned that all good things come with time. So what's the hurry?

12. Self-esteem: The longer you live, the more things you accomplish (big and small) and the more you have to be proud of.

13. Resilience: Your ability to cope with stressors and disasters gets stronger with time and experience.

14. Acuity: When you've “been through it all,” you recognize things in life that younger -- less keen -- people don't.

15. Common sense: It keeps developing as you survive the dares and risks you take throughout life.

16. Admiration: Not only do you admire the accomplishments of others, you also garner their admiration.

17. Humor: Your sense of humor gets better with age. And what's a long life without a lot of good laughs?

18. Muscle maturity: With repetitive use, you gain the neurological ability to contract your muscles harder, resulting in better muscle definition -- no matter what your age.

19. Sports training: The Senior Olympic athletes have learned how to best challenge -- and rest -- their bodies. And as you get older, you can start doing physical activities you really enjoy doing, rather than exercise you think you must do.

Family and Relationships

20. Marriage: According to 77-year-old Maggie Scarf, author of September Songs: The Good News About Marriage in the Later Years, older couples are more affectionate and say “I love you” more.

21. Sex: If you haven't already noticed, sex gets better with age. Not only do you know your likes and dislikes, you also feel more confident communicating your sexual desires.

22. Family: Families continue to grow with every generation, bringing in new members and extending the family line.

23. Grandkids: There is something uniquely wonderful about watching your grandkids grow up.

24. Friendships: They deepen with age as you further recognize and value the joy of companionship.

25. Networking: Boomer and senior networking has exploded with the growth of senior housing (http://www.seniorsforliving.com) communities and online communities such as Eons.com, VibrantNation.com, and ThirdAge.com.

26. Fido and Fluffy: Your relationships with your furry friends grow with every warm and welcome cuddle, walk in the park, and scratch behind the ears.

27. The love and appreciation of others: Along with wisdom and experience comes the ability to deeply love and appreciate the people who have touched your life.

Food and Drink

28. Cheese: This is true for semi-hard and hard cheeses like cheddar and Parmigiana-Reggiano, along with soft-ripened cheeses such as blue cheeses, Brie, and limburger. Without proper aging, these delectable cheeses would lack their distinctive flavor and characteristic texture.

29. Eggs: Older eggs are better for hard-cooking because their shells won't stick to the cooked egg white.

30. Beef: That distinctive beef flavor and coveted tenderness is best achieved when quality beef is allowed to age. Unaged beef gives off a distasteful metallic flavor that can only be transformed with time.

31. Casseroles: Lasagnas, enchiladas, and other casserole dishes tend to taste better the next day. (Just don't tell the cook.)

32. Liquors with longevity: Full-bodied red wines like Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, dessert wines, scotch, vintage ports, whiskey, and higher-alcohol, full-bodied beers all taste better when aged.

33. Cookbooks: Best-loved, classic cookbooks tend to be the ones marked with food stains and fingerprints.

34. Cooking skills: Only an experienced cook knows how to shave time off the preparation of a meal and, equally important, confidently bring a somewhat botched meal to the table and successfully convince the dinner guests that it turned out exactly as planned.

Nature

35. Seedlings: Baby plants, like infants, need time to reach their growth potential.

36. Fruit trees: Older trees produce higher quality fruit -- as long as they are pruned and properly cared for.

37. Shade trees:What starts as a skinny limb climbs toward the sky, sprouting gorgeous branches of leaves that provide a cool, comfortable place to rest or read a good book.

38. Gardens and fields: Gardens and fields begin with seeds or fruitless bushes that develop into food-giving plants. With age comes a bounty of fresh fruit, vegetables, and herbs.

39. Soil: With time and proper care, soil builds its nutrient-rich composition and bursts with life-giving properties.

40. Compost: It takes time for biodegradable materials to break down and provide long-term benefits to soil and plants.

41. A bird's song: Mature birds have a stronger and wider range of trills than hatchlings.

Tangibles

42. Antiques and collectibles: Their worth is not only in monetary value but the sheer sentimentality of cherished possessions that have been treasured for so many years.

43. Style: You may hate the styles today, but they'll soon make their way back as retro.

44. Real estate: If you hold on to property long enough, its value will grow.

45. Diversified investment portfolios: Don't fall for the get-rich-quick investment scams -- and avoid the stress of day trading. Instead, invest your money in a variety of strong companies and you'll multiply your investments.

46. Money-saving perks: Can you say “senior discount”?

47. Leather: New leather may be pretty (and stiff), but only well-worn leather has that soft and supple feel that comes with age.

48. Sheets: All that cuddling and sleeping makes your sheets softer and more inviting (for more cuddling and sleeping).

49. Clothing: Whether it's your favorite pair of blue jeans or a good pair of boots, it gets more comfortable with every wear.

50. Classic cars and sports cars: Fancy new cars may be fast and flashy, but the classics have ageless appeal -- and, better yet, they are paid off and cheaper to insure.

51. Scrapbooking or photo album collections: Your photos reflect the richness of your life -- and the longer you live, the greater the stories your albums can share.

52. Educational travel opportunities: Check with Elderhostel in your community for traveling opportunities designed for seniors on the go.

53. Collection of mementos: If you kept them, they mean something to you. And remembering the times and places they represent enriches your life.

I made an order on Amazon for an mp3 album. The order went through and I received the songs and they were added to my media player but I got an email telling me that they couldn't charge my account because of a problem. The problem is that I no longer have the account. I completely forgot that I had received a new Card from my bank and a new account number. I put in my new card information and delted the outdated one. They said that they'll try to re-process the order in a few days.

Do I have to do anything else?

ronnie LIVES for movies and thinks this and or cartoon based projects are a joke and for kids...funny stuff sports watcher/FF playing hypocrite

it's what you like and who gives you the high ground since movies is your escape?! especially since comedy and a comedic radio show is your profession. I have ZERO issue with any of these, just the attitude toward others for their interests. I can give two fucks about directors, their back stories and lives like Ronnie and others, just the product they make being entertaining in the direction they are working for.

There have been adults that collect toys as long as there have been toys. It's nothing new. It's just become more prevalent, because people figured out there's a market to capitalize on. To bash the practice is therefore anti-American. COMMIE!!!

Friends of a friend of mine got married on Sunday. It's a gigantic dick move to get married on mother's day, right? Like, I'm sure their mothers were atleast outwardly happy although my mother would've secretly resented it and paid me back in full, but more so because you're making all of your guests and their mothers adjust their plans around your wedding.
