- Around 20. Planet of the Apes San Jose get together. Plus Meg, Peglegpete and Dawson in Vegas. -- nm - ceregon Mar 30, 14:41

  - Yeah, I'm counting past and present... - MojaveMeg Mar 30, 14:45

    - I'm hurt. I really am. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 30, 14:46 1

The new version of the Amazon MP3 app for Android has built in Cloud Player -- (link) - Mop on Evo Mar 30, 14:29
My one female tenant is so stupid. She actually called me and asked me how you make a withdrawal at a bank. - ceregon Mar 30, 14:27 48
- I find your relationship with your tenants very interesting. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 30, 14:31 1
  - My problem is I give a damn about people. This one roommate who hasn't lived with me for 4 years still calls and asks for advice about stuff. -- nm - ceregon Mar 30, 14:40
- I don't htink I have made a withdrawal at a bank in at least 15 yaers. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 14:29 29
  - but do you know how to do it? -- nm - sycor Mar 30, 14:30 28
    - Enter the bank, look for the form, read it, fill it out, go to the window. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 14:31 27
      - I don't think forms are even needed if the withdrawal is under something like $500. - musubi Mar 30, 14:33
      - aren't the forms vestigial now? Everything goes through your bank card. -- nm - Reagen Mar 30, 14:32 12
        
        my bank still uses them. but you can use the ATM. you may be able to use your card at the teller. - sycor Mar 30, 14:34
        
        you're asking me? :) -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 14:33 10
        
        That's typically what a question mark indicates, yes. -- nm - Reagen Mar 30, 14:34 9
        
        why would you ask someone who admits she hasn't done it in 15 years? -- nm - sycor Mar 30, 14:35 7
        
        That information came after my inquiry. Do I need to call Chronological Man? -- nm - Reagen Mar 30, 14:36 6
        
        Wait, I stand corrected. But Rhetorical Question Man is standing by. -- nm - Reagen Mar 30, 14:38 2
        
        Reading Comprehension Girl is crying in the corner. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 14:39 1
        
        Did someone give her Twilight? -- nm - Reagen Mar 30, 14:39
        
        look about 8 posts up in the reply history. You know, the one time stamped several minutes before yours. - sycor Mar 30, 14:38
        
        We should start a union. (nm) - Venn Diagram Man Mar 30, 14:37
        
        he's gonna kick your ass. Follow the thread up. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 14:37
        
        since I haven't done it in over 15 years, I'm clearly the wrong person to ask. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 14:35
      - form? fill out? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 30, 14:32 11
        
        by form she probably mean withdrawl slip. but yea, you can't just walk into a bank and ask for money. -- nm - sycor Mar 30, 14:33 10
        
        well you can, but that usually attracts the attention of the police. -- nm - Reagen Mar 30, 14:35 1
        
        "You're clearly the smart one, you know what to do now?" (nm) - musubi Mar 30, 14:37
        
        i press the "waiting number" button, read a newspaper have a coffee and go to the desk and say what i want - Danedukenuuk Mar 30, 14:34 4
        
        your banks sound strange. but kinda of nice. -- nm - sycor Mar 30, 14:36 3
        
        they made the chain i use into "bank coffee shops" so now you get all sorts of stange "presents" - Danedukenuuk Mar 30, 14:38 2
        
        wow. that sounds... nice but annoying all at the same time. -- nm - sycor Mar 30, 14:39 1
        
        i am rarely there the cutdown on employees to maximise profits annoys me - Danedukenuuk Mar 30, 14:42
        
        I did have to make a withdrawal when I moved to the UK (so that's less than 15 yaers, but it was totally different). I literally did not know - loosilu Mar 30, 14:34
        
        You don't even have to ask if you use the ATM. (nm) - musubi Mar 30, 14:34 1
        
        and you don't have to wait either -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 30, 14:35
      - congratulations! you're too financially savvy to be one of my Vegas tenants -- nm - ceregon Mar 30, 14:32
- is she hot? -- nm - sycor Mar 30, 14:29 5
  - kinda, but she's an mma fighter so you have to be into ripped women -- nm - ceregon Mar 30, 14:30 4
    - dumb and pretty and able to kick everyone's ass? she'll be fine then. -- nm - sycor Mar 30, 14:32 3
      - probably a Dentist or a real estate agent - Danedukenuuk Mar 30, 14:33 1
        
        maybe dentist, but the real estate agents in Vegas are really hurting - ceregon Mar 30, 14:35
      - I didn't think she was dumb until this phone call -- nm - ceregon Mar 30, 14:32
- how has she been paying you? cash? -- nm - peglegpete Mar 30, 14:28 9
  - money order...the renters do their banking at 7-11, it's so sad -- nm - ceregon Mar 30, 14:30 8
    - but how do they get the cash to get the MO? -- nm - sycor Mar 30, 14:30
    - oh wow. they are really living on the edge. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 14:30 6
      - yes, yes - my standard: everyone promise me they will never go into a 7-eleven at night in Vegas. ever. - Epiphany Mar 30, 14:41 2
        
        I feel bad for the clerks. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 14:56 1

      - luckily they can cash their checks at casinos so they don't have to pay huge fees for that -- nm - ceregon Mar 30, 14:31 2
        
        casino's even give awards for this! -- nm - peglegpete Mar 30, 14:32 1
        
        I swear being in Vegas makes your financial IQ drop a few points. It's just so geared to taking your money without you noticing or caring. -- nm - ceregon Mar 30, 14:33
