I just watched a special on the History channel last night about Hurricanes in the Keys- is was very cool!

I noticed today that in the last 24 hours I have probly watched 10 hours of tv (couldn't sleep last night so I stayed up til morning watched the History and TCM channels) - all 10 hours had to have been rated PG in content! It was a change up from all the violence thats forsure, it took me a while to realize something was different while watching the movies...then I realized...no blood or violence---just lots of singing and dancing in those old movies from the 40s and 50s. Even the original Jeckle and Hyde had no gore! I'm ready for some Seven or Freddy Krueger now!

The thing that sucks about kidney stones is you don't even get anything that cool at the end

Take a picture of them? OR don't they at least put your stones in a jar and let you take it home? THX can place them on his mantle with the medallion.

Ok Coolerheads, what does this mean in the below "PAYPAL accepted as bank account transfer or from PayPal balance ONLY!"?

Payment by Certified funds from a MAJOR US Bank, US Postal money order or wire transfer.

No personal or Company checks accepted, I have paid out too much money for NSF checks

PAYPAL accepted as bank account transfer or from PayPal balance ONLY!

PAYPAL shipments only to your confirmed address. NO EXCEPTIONS! (If there is a problem with this please talk to paypal)

You have to have money in your paypal account or have an immediate transfer of money from your bank account into your paypal account to pay for the item.

I keep my paypal balance at 0. When I buy something on ebay and pay with paypal, an automatic transfer from my checking account to paypal happens. This then transfers to the seller.

Thats how my Paypal is set up.

THX 1138

Why would this be?

So you can't use your credit card to pay via paypal?
Mon, 09/19/2005 - 8:59 AM Permalink
OTiS

I don't remember how it worked out but once I hit a point I had to verify my account by signing up with my checking account. From that point on I've always just used the checking account as my source of payment. The card I used to sign up was my check card. So for me it was the same money.

So, did I screw up by paying for this item I won with my credit card Via Paypal?

Why would the seller care where they got their money?

no, you can use your credit card via paypal normally. its just that the recipient of the funds doesn't want to pay the fees associated with the account type necessary to take credit card payments (as the overall fees are higher than just a normal account (to cover paypal's cc processing fees). imho, such sellers are idiots, as they should build the paypal fees into the shipping/handling charges. that's what i do.

no you didn't. the seller will likely reject your payment, and you'll have to pay again, but with an instant transfer.

THX 1138

It looks like the payment with through.

Does the seller have to accept payment for it to go through?

I admit, this was my mistake. I just noticed it today, and I bid on it last Saturday (The 10th). This is only my third item I've bought through e-bay.

nope. what will likely happen is that the seller will receive the email saying payment was received and then reject it.

I got my letter to the editor published in todays paper. Me and a co-worker wrote in about Diamond Products closing down and the Mayors response. On the St Paul editorial page.

My mom was just notified that her and 40 co-workers are loosing their jobs at the Red Cross. After Katrina I thought she was safe for sure. I guess not. Shit!

Is this you guys 3M?

Diamond Products

a big loss for city

In response to the Sept. 9 article, "Diamond closing downtown plant," my co-workers and I were disgusted to read about Mayor Randy Kelly's response to the closing of our plant. According to the article, Kelly termed it " an incredible opportunity."

I am appalled that the "out-sourcing" of almost 200 good-paying union jobs to non-union out-of-state factories is being considered as such. Since this plant is the only one that Diamond Products Co. owns, closing down doesn't seem like an "incredible opportunity" to my co-workers or me.

According to the article, Kelly immediately named a task force to explore what the city and developers can do with the site. My question is: Where is the task force to keep these jobs in St. Paul? Where was the task force when the site was considered for a new Twins stadium? It seems that he can't wait to bring in the wrecking ball.

M.D. MCMAHON

St. Paul

I read with great interest the article about the closing of Diamond Products. Mayor Randy Kelly has already put together a task force to redevelop the property. He put this task force together the same day the Diamond employees were informed that they would know longer have jobs.

Mayor Kelly's response to the plant closing in his city was to call it "an incredible opportunity to get rid of a factory and warehouse" to make the city more urban and green. This factory and warehouse employs nearly 200 hard-working and dedicated employees in his city.

I wish he had found it an incredible opportunity to meet with Diamond Products Co. and convince it to keep those jobs in St. Paul rather than to throw those employees into the employment line.

Thanks, Randy — Enjoy your more urban and more green.

Thats where my wife goes all the time. Now they talked her into donating platelets. Takes about 3 hours I've heard.
Mon, 09/19/2005 - 3:15 PM Permalink
OTiS

3 hours for the process of seperating them or 3 hours for the actual donation?
Mon, 09/19/2005 - 3:18 PM Permalink
mrmnmikey

They take 'em out,seperate them, then put the blood back. 3 hrs total for the entire donation process, I guess.
Mon, 09/19/2005 - 3:21 PM Permalink
mrmnmikey

It seems that type O is universal for whole blood donation, whereas type A/B is universal for platelets. She is type A/B positive and I am a real rarity at A/B Neg.

I booed randy kelley at the torchlight parade, if that makes you feel any better 3M. He heard it too and looked right at me when I continued to boo. I don't think he's used to that sort of thing at a parade, haha. You were there come to think of it.
