Re: Buying Stuff On Line
I made a similar mistake the first time I bought something online. Back in college I went to buy my dad a birthday present. He has UMD football season tickets and loves to tailgate so I thought I wanted to get him one of those tin buckets that you keep beer and ice in, like this:


But what I actually paid like $30 dollars for (and this was when I was a broke college student so that was a TON of money) was a metal version of this:


The lesson: read the description. And don't drink and online shop.

Re: Buying Stuff On Line
Never had a bad experience buying stuff online and I have been doing it since 1998. I always buy from reputable storefronts and read the fine prints.

Plus you'll need a hand truck and a back brace.

The fine print on these checks is 1 inch tall. Anybody have a good source for those extra large Manila Envelopes that I'm going to need so I can mail off my bills.

Are you going to have to hand write all checks now, or do you have a blueprint plotter?
