Texsox

Thank you. I knew there had to be something out there and my google searches were not working. Those fees are a little hefty if she is putting small amounts in, I'm going to have to figure out if that's worth it. $4.95 for very deposit. If she is only putting in $20, that would suck.

QUOTE(DABearSoX @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 10:29 PM) I worked at RadioShack last year and they have pre loaded credit cards. I forgot what they were called exactly, but I beleive they were mastercard endorsed. The plus was that you can reload them at the radioshack store with cash or by phone. Even better, closer to home than the Wells Fargo branch. Was there a fee?

I know I sleep better knowing Grenada can't invade us. And I think Ford and his Whip Inflation Now; WIN! Campaign was genious As some people know, unlike third world dictatorships, the US President doesn't fire the military and replace them with all new people. Carter did not plan that strategic rescue mission, the military did, the same ones that were there when Ford was President and when Reagan was President. I believe the Commander in Chief gets far too much credit for operational planning. The military had a plan that they thought would have the best chance of freeing the hostages. Carter gave the military the green light. Should he have been on the mission? Should he personally have done the planning?

I have found something to dislike about every laptop I have owned. From a Sony through a Toshiba, a Dell and now a couple HPs. Drive placement. missing ports (I need a serial port now). This one has a crappy power plug that comes loose too easily and blocks the USB connectors.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 09:59 PM) Don't some banks still offer secured credit cards with spending limits set at the level which you deposit? You can put whatever amount in you want. It would not be tied to an existing bank account, but simply become an account of its own. If I understood you correctly, this is different than what you were describing. Would this give you what you are looking for?? My bank was trying to sell me on Visa Buxx, their program for teen spending. Problem is if she wanted to deposit into her card, she would have to give me the money and I would have to transfer. No big deal, really but not exactly what I had in mind. IIUC the secure card could not be in her name because she is 15. It appears that a competing bank had Visa Gift Cards that could work if I understand the program.

QUOTE(samclemens @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 05:20 PM) are you kidding?? drudge has a great site, i enjoy it a lot. hes not as sleazy as you think. politics aside, you can find political news first on his site some of the time. f***, Sam and I agree on something. His web site is more about links and finding stories. I use it as one of my homepages.

BTW, is this news? Really? On the scale of things to cover, is some gym teacher really worth the ink?

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 01:35 PM) The racist angle is not the one I was getting at. The double standard is what I was pointing out. But ... I'll give you your point about mocking presidents. I think it's the same standard, the reactions would be reversed and the same. No one likes "their" guy getting mocked. Again, I think it was rude, and would think it was rude if it was Chelsea in a similar situation. And actually if the situation was reversed, and the press reported that some teacher mocked Clinton while Chelsea was in the class, I believe the political views of the news agency would have been called into question. Some would claim that this was a minor situation, in an exercise class and the press was bringing it up to make someone look bad.

That is pretty cool. I'm waiting for the cell phone merging. This geo caching is a great excuse to get outside and play The places and ways people think to hide stuff is amazing.

Wow

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 08:43 AM) Oh come on. This man "mocked" Bush. If he had "mocked' the esteemed Revereand Jackson, you all would screaming racism. Why is one acceptable and one not? A person in the public eye is still being mocked. OK, so he's a racist for mocking Bush, feel better? Oh the horrors, the horrors Mocking Presidents for over 200 years. I love this country BTW, I think it is in poor taste to do it in front of a family member. But thank God we can mock our Presidents.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Apr 24, 2006 -> 08:22 PM) My buddy made his own and made a decent machine. I guess I could just order all the parts off newegg and build it myself. Just gotta figure out what to order now. I did that with my son last year. Start with the processor, look for MoBo that meet your needs as far as outputs and inputs, decide on a case, video card, sound card, networking stuff, etc. etc. It isn't really that hard. THe only mistake we made was ordering an OEM DVD drive which arrived without software. Pain in the butt. Newegg is awesome. Great service. Great prices. I wouldn't hesitate to order from them again.

http://www.snopes.com/humor/letters/dammed.htm Best of all it is mostly true. One thing that was left out is the beavers had been killed, possibly by the neighbor who complained, and the landowner may have been maintaining the dams himself to keep his pond.

It's being overrun with hit

Near as I can tell, there is a finite amount of oil out there, and we ain't making much more, at least nowhere as fast as we are using it. So what incentive is there for anyone to extract quickly and for cheap prices? In a sense they are all working their way out of an industry. Now we seem to have lots and lots, and perhaps that is too futuristic to worry about, but you know, just saying . . .

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 03:01 AM) As much as I hate saying this, Texsox is correct. Hi8is, it's your $$$ and you can do what you what to, but you have no realistic complaint. We're not in filibuster, we can agree hell, I think we have a perfect record Filibuster 0% agreement Rest of the board 100% agreement

LMAO Another one, not what you'd expect. Hits all the cliches

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 08:35 AM) Bubba and Junior were standing at the base of a flagpole, looking up. A blond lady walked by and asked what they were doing. "We're supposed to find the height of the flagpole," said Bubba, "but we don't have a ladder." The woman took a wrench from her purse, loosened a few bolts, and laid the pole down. Then she took a tape measure from her pocket, took a measurement & announced, "Eighteen feet, six inches," and walked away. Junior shook his head and laughed. "Ain't that just like a dumb blond? We ask for the height, and she gives us the length.

I want to give my daughter a "pre-loaded" Visa/MC she can use for on-line purchases, debits in stores etc. I also want her to be able to add money herself. My bank insists that it be a transfer from my account. I am trying to teach some self reliance here, does anyone know of a "gift card" type thing that doesn't require a bank account?

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 07:32 PM) he already wrote "property of Texsox" on it Just about, I stored a bunch of waypoints already. What could be done is return the new one bought at Target to Walmart, but that would be wrong :rolly
