Luckily I use my AMEX card for prostitutes.
Well ... I'm one of those radicals that doesn't believe that I have to have to carry debt - the whole "you have to have a certain amount of debt to have a good credit score" seems more like a scam to have me paying them interest fees. Once my debt is paid in 3 years I shall only buy what I can afford.
DD...only 3 years? Lucky you. I have resigned myself that I will be in debt until the day I die. Like they say "you can't take it with you"

If your debt follows you in the afterlife, you are likely in hell!

boobs - got myself on auto-payment plans that lowered interest rates and closed them all. I was definitely one of the suckers that fell for it all - hook, line, and sinker.
Hopefully the next house I buy will be back home in CR, and a US credit score will do nothing there anyway.
Yea DD, when I get home I'm going to fix my financial situation. I'm coming home a new and improved Boobs. Living in Asia has been good for me. Opened my eyes to many things. I'm glad that I had the chance to do this. I really fought not to move here, but it really has made me grow in so many ways that I never thought possible. I now appreciate the things that I always took for granted.
**hug**
*pounces and tackles*
I can't wait for real hugs Addy.
*rolls on floor with DD*
When are you back in the States, Boobs?

Got my reservation, B!
Mooney, I am surprised there was no limit on the daily withdrawals - I know with my credit union I can only take out $200 a day. It is scary how quickly things can get screwed up. I hope all works out for your daughter.
I love my credit union - some of the people there have literally known me for 20 years.
And Miss P, going back a few pages - I look forward to seeing you in a SoCal visit.
I need to plan another SoCal visit - jS is going to be there next week ... alas, I'm staying here.

YWIW - I know, I was surprised that 1) there wasn't a limit and 2) it didn't set off any alerts at the bank. They won't be her bank for very long.
There's a good photo of the guy who did it from all of the ATMs so, with no remaining questions, the bank is replacing her funds tomorrow morning.
Thank goodness!!!

Moony, that is excellent news!
I'm going to call my bank tomorrow and check on my accounts and what kind of safeguards are in place. I opened those accounts ages ago, and want to make sure anything I might need to do, I've done.
I guess the Izzy baby threads revival was a no-no.

Oh no - are they gone??? What a shame. That was such a nice (wacky) stroll down memory lane. Someone's got an itchy trigger finger.
EDIT: they're still here, girly. Just a little further down the page and just as funny.

Oh! I didn't see them! I was all set to do some back reading when I got home tonight. Only got to read a little at work. Thanks!

While you're reading, check your email. We figured out how they duplicated the ATM card. Protect yourself!
Just read that, Moony. Thanks for the tip.
I can't decide what to watch. I just got home (more on GUYS & DOLLS later) and have on Biggest Loser, but want to watch Real Housewives.
I think my plan is to watch one of the multiple repeats of RH, continue watching BL and then watch NJ Housewives at 11.
Who said watching TV was a brain drain? *phew*
Thanks, Moony!
Wow. Those threads were a hoot!
I've never watched any episode of Real Housewives, but I think I'm going to watch/tape the NJ one.

It's a great addiction.
