    LOL...so Verizon Wireless tells me my auto pay will be bumped up 3 days. I select the new date in the App and confirm. And yet my payment will be deducted on the old date. Tried this three times in their app and online.

    Finally deleted auto pay option, and then selected the new date (essentially rejoining auto pay) to get it to work. :rolleyes: So automatically changing the date is too advanced for them? Yet they want their money sooner. Typical.

    I had to pay $85 to go to an academic conference next week but in all likelihood will only get to catch the closing speech.

    Looks like the first one was named in 2015. Wiki.

    My bank has just informed me that I can have a loan of £17k for a car

    No credit check needed as they know my spending history.


    I want a new car.


    I just don't want to do it prior to Christmas.

    I now have the dilemma of doing it now prior to an inevitable interest hike in November or waiting till next year and possibly having a higher payment rate/lower loan value.

    Can you take the money now and put it in a savings account til you're ready to buy the car or do they want it applied to a purchase as soon as you get it? (Might be a good time to get the car as other folks might have their minds more on Christmas).

    I'm being paid to sit on my ass and surf the internet (house sitting), and I'm bored.

    My laptop died and I had to put it in for repair. I'm now using my netbook with the 10" screen and my eyes are already complaining.

    I forgot my umbrella on campus and within five minutes, some bastard had taken it. So I took some other unsuspecting guy's umbrella on my way home and became some other guy's accursed bastard.

    Had to be done. I take very seriously my duty to pay forward the evil of this wretched world. My aim is to create an underground umbrella contraband economy.

    Sorry to hear that. Speedy repair vibes.

    I love how a $10 mouse is vastly superior to anything much more expensive. Next Mac, I will definitely be buying at least two of them.

    Or end up in a story similar to How I Met Your Mother?

    It'll be at least a week - local PC World store has to send it offsite for the repair.

    ^ Umbrella Academy? ;)

    For some reason, apps are not opening PDFs and images from 9-11 years ago. I guess the formats are too different or something.

    Darn! LAJ_FETT was hoping it would be a faster turnaround.

    Two weeks ago, I was apparently bored and ended up impulsively trading in my beloved car for a brand new car. The new car comes with a bunch of snazzy things, but my other car had very comfortable leather seats. I miss my leather seats.

    Last time this happened it was a week and a half since there was a holiday during the repair period.

    heck yes. Waited too long so not only was it too strong, but not very warm. :(

    Judging by the sample test I took ahead of the real test next Friday, uh, I better pay strict attention to the questions on the actual exam. [face_blush]

    Got into the car to go grocery shopping this morning and it wouldn't start. It's not the battery - that wanted to go. Pretty sure it's either the fuel pump relay or the pump itself as the latter doesn't go on when I turn the key. The Golf seems to blow a relay every few years with similar symptoms so I think it's that. Car repair place will get a phone call tomorrow.
