And i have my mystical debit card its blue! Uber Blue!
Now to get a paypal account and I can play WoW and/or Eve-ONline!
*edit: prepare for rant*
I hate paypal, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, I HATE THEM!
I wasted like 1-2 hours constantly calling my bank to figure out my stupid account numbers (and related) ONLY FOR IT TO TAKE 2-3 EFFING DAYS FOR APPARENTLY TO SEND MY MY EFFING CONFIRMATION DEPOSIT SO I CAN BLOODY USE PAYPAL!
I'm so stressed and exhausted. Never go for paypal unless you have lots of freetime.

I mean what I mean and I don't apologize for what I mean. If you think I mean what I mean, then yes, I mean it. If you think I mean something that I don't mean, then you're wrong, and that's not what I mean.

damn? I think its a fairly ok/usable word on this forum, I've seen people use the word cr@p wihtout complaint. COrrect me if I'm wrong.
And maybe even I don't know what I thought I meant considering I was confused with what you said that you thought you said that considered was something that got sucked into a wormhole.

Instant gratification = expecting to be able to use Paypal immediately upon obtaining a checking account.
Back when I was a kid, we'd often have to write down numbers on a piece of paper, mail that piece of paper somewhere, wait a week to hear from our bank -- via the telephone -- that our piece of paper was received by the other party, who presumably spent a day or two checking it out, and then wait something like a month and a half to get our stuff.
And that was even after we opened our checking accounts. In fact, a lot of places wouldn't take the first hundred or so "starter" checks we got with our checking account, so we'd have to wait two or three weeks to get checks with higher numbers in order to order things with them.

Is it weird that I looked at this thread title, and immediately thought "Blayne started this thread."?

"And then we'd get our checks after three years of indentured servitude and personally carrying them across the ice bridge to North America and then our parents would see us smiling and beat us and then dinosaurs stepped on us."
Damn, are my Pop-Tarts STILL not done toasting? I'm using the microwave next time...

At least you had an ice bridge. We had to carry our own ice slabs and lay them out ahead of us one at a time.

What I would have given for some water to try to walk across! In my day we had to crawl across cooling lava fields.

Well let me tell you young whippersnappers, before the Big Bang it didn't matter that we had to try to wiggle forward by twitching our eyebrows, because there was noplace to go!Posts: 7954 | Registered: Mar 2004

And there was none of this "interest-earning checking" crap back then, either. You paid for your checks, you paid a monthly fee for your account, you paid for the red-hot plasma that would someday turn into your checkbook liner, and you paid each and every time you wrote a check.
