- question - Chicken Little Jan 30, 20:27 1
  - The "I got skills" scene, yes. A lot of the first act character setup scenes, yes. - Dr.Vermin Jan 30, 20:30
Hmmm, I can't remember my credit card number, user ID, or password. - Dano Jan 30, 20:20 14
- Was able to work it out. And to the fuckers - you could have had that largeish balance at the lower rate. You now have $0 at the higher rate. -- nm - Dano Jan 30, 20:30 12
  - Yes!!! -- nm - Epiphany Jan 30, 20:45
  - *applauds* -- nm - Chicken Little Jan 30, 20:34 1
    - I didn't even bother calling the first company back. - Dano Jan 30, 20:42
  - i need to do this with mine -- nm - pigby Jan 30, 20:34 8
    - I think now is a good time to call all your credit cards and at least ask for a lower rate. -- nm - Dano Jan 30, 20:38 7
      - Discover probably hates me because they haven't made a dime off me in years. -- nm - Tim Jan 30, 20:47
      - i don't think that'll ever happen. i need to transfer it to a card where i'll have 0% for the first year, if possible - pigby Jan 30, 20:43 4
        
        My advantage in this case was that I had a card that I had completely paid off about 14 months ago. - Dano Jan 30, 20:47 3
        
        Ummmm... that's not really how it works. - Cuzzin Todd Jan 30, 21:05 2
        
        But with the balance transfer they will now get interest from me when they were getting nothing before. It was a completely unused card before. - Dano Jan 30, 21:20 1
        
        I misread - I thought you were saying the unused card wouldn't give you a decent bt rate. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 30, 21:50
      - The fact these companies are getting hurt right now makes me smile. I had two jack my rates, and I moved the balances to teaser rates. - Redmond Jan 30, 20:42
- I think with your SSN and mother's-maiden-name type info, you could be all right. - Dr.Vermin Jan 30, 20:28
"Which is kind of hard to distinguish from your "I thought this was gonna be a new episode of Law & Order, but turns out it's a repeat" face." - TWuG Jan 30, 20:20
Sorry, I seem to be a little obsessed with the octuplets. "Suleman stressed that her daughter 'is not evil, but she is obsessed with children.'" -- (link) - mara Jan 30, 20:16 1

- So within the Fraternal 8, there are sets of identicals? -- nm - TWuG Jan 30, 19:13 7
  - amazing! -- nm - loosilu Jan 30, 20:07 6
    - Really? Is this common? I really don't know. -- nm - TWuG Jan 30, 20:08 5
      - Actually, it's a little more common than I thought it was, but still uncommon. "That she carried eight fetuses does not necessarily mean eight embryos - mara Jan 30, 20:13 4
        
        I actually know a set of triplets where two are identical. But for it to happen more than once in once set of octoplets (as grandma suggests) would be - loosilu Jan 30, 20:21 2
        
        1 in 400 for it to happen twice, seems like. -- nm - TFox Jan 30, 20:23 1
        
        which would still mean they implanted six, which is seriously unethical. -- nm - loosilu Jan 30, 20:25
        
        Weird. That's gotta be strange to be a fraternal octoplet AND an identical twin. -- nm - TWuG Jan 30, 20:20

Okay I trust ST to tell me the truth here......am I nuts for thinking the following....possible Benjamin Button spoilers.... - Walt_Disney Jan 30, 18:59 2

yes. -- nm - the liiou lu with space Jan 30, 18:42
So for the Octuplets story: In-vitro fertilization is pretty pricey and considering the financial situation of the family (bankruptcy) is it really - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 30, 18:37 21

- wait what? is there a link I need here? -- nm - the year of the ox loves mandy lane Jan 30, 18:57 1
  - For the bankruptcy? Here is the link. The in-vitro stuff is just thoughts. -- (link) - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 30, 18:58
- the cynic in me is thinking they did it for the cash. and judging from the stories I've read, the extended family has cash. -- nm - conjunction junction Jan 30, 18:42 3
  - I think the woman was just nuts and wanted more kids, a variation of Munchousens. As for the financial costs, Kaiser was one of the first HMO style.. - zeitgeist for dogs Jan 30, 19:05 1
    - A doctor seriously helped impregnate a single Mom with 6 kids with another 3/4 dozen? Insane. -- nm - TWuG Jan 30, 19:16

- I think was "just" fertility drugs. -- nm - TWuG Jan 30, 18:42
- The doctors at Kaiser Permanente would not specify if she had in-vitro, or took fertility drugs. -- nm - Diva Jan 30, 18:41 8
  - Oh wow. Kaiser? It all makes sense now. They diagnosed my Dad with depression for 2 years while he had for blocked arteries. - Redmond has a particular set of skills Jan 30, 18:49 4
    - for = four -- nm - Redmond has a particular set of skills Jan 30, 18:50 3
      - That made more sense without the correction. ;) -- nm - the liiou lu with space Jan 30, 18:57 2
