ET Canada - Richardson fell on a 'bunny slope', and the headaches occurred after. -- (link) - Beryllium Mar 17, 10:49 7
- Very sad, but its things like this that will make people wear a helmet - sgtmike Mar 17, 10:53 4
  - not so sure about that. - znufrii Mar 17, 10:54 3
    - The attitude of beginners is that they go too slow to need a helmet - sgtmike Mar 17, 10:56 1
      - and the attitude of the seasoned is that they are too skilled to need a helmet -- nm - Beryllium Mar 17, 10:57
    - I saw numerous people wearing helmets when I was at Whistler. - Beryllium Mar 17, 10:55
- She's in hospital now so hopefully they can treat her. -- nm - Mop Mar 17, 10:52 1

doh! If I don't take a trade ship with me to pillage, I don't bring home any stuff! -- nm - Will Ye Go, Loosi, Go? Mar 17, 10:39 7
- Really? I thought adding a trade ship just let you take home 'more' stuff. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 17, 10:43 3
  - the little message told me no. no stuff. -- nm - Will Ye Go, Loosi, Go? Mar 17, 10:43 2
    - The more ships you send the more you can take home. -- nm - Krusty Mar 17, 10:44 1
      - You always have to send ships. If you're not trading and you're attacking someone you know you'll win against you might as well send all your ships. - Krusty Mar 17, 10:46
- It appears I was wrong about this subject yesterday - con_carne Mar 17, 10:40 2

Damn. Natasha Richardson reportedly has died from her injuries. :( (link) -- (link) - Buzz Mar 17, 10:31 29
- Very sad -- nm - Stephen of the Hibernian Brigade Mar 17, 10:45

- That is awful, and the part about feeling fine and then it getting worse is scary too. - TFox Mar 17, 10:34 4
  - I'm not convinced it's a correct story at this point. -- nm - Callisto Mar 17, 10:42 3
    - yeah, no one else is picking it up. -- nm - Reagen Mar 17, 10:48
    - Honestly ... I know this sounds horrible, but ... - Beryllium Mar 17, 10:44 1
      - wow, bad typo in the IM. ah well. I don't think I would react the same way if it was my own family member, though, so it's really unfair to say. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 17, 10:45
- [deleted]
- How sad -- nm - The Quiet Roger More Mar 17, 10:33
- That's so sad. My last memory of her is going to be Tom Colicchio swooning at her like a sad puppy. - David Mar 17, 10:33

So I get a bill in the mail and it give me the usual options - J Mar 17, 10:23 12
- that's what those nnumbers are for. you aren't going to be there with the card in hand. -- nm - Andie with the black velvet band Mar 17, 10:30
- it's to ensure that you're actually in possession of the card you're paying with. -- nm - znufrii Mar 17, 10:24
- absolutely right. it's added security CC companies started using years ago -- nm - decline Mar 17, 10:24
- Lots of websites ask for the 3-digit code. Amazon does, for example. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 17, 10:23 8
  - No i know it's fine for online, but this is a paper receipt and I just can't see why they would need it -- nm - J Mar 17, 10:24 7
    - because they can't see that you have the card. it's the same reason. -- nm - Andie with the black velvet band Mar 17, 10:30 1
      - ok then I will take care of it, thanks -- nm - J Mar 17, 10:32
    - I've never paid a bill on paper, so I have no idea. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 17, 10:25 4
      - damn you're young. -- nm - Will Ye Go, Loosi, Go? Mar 17, 10:28 2
        
        It also occurs to me that I'm somewhat lying - I've used paper once or twice, such as for the sailing class. Just not for utilities. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 17, 10:30 1
        
        (And come to think of it, that might have been by cheque ...) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 17, 10:31
      - This is a first for me too, that's why it took me off guard a bit -- nm - J Mar 17, 10:27
