Indigo is the shade of the aura! They couldn't very well go calling it Hot Pink if indeed it is indigo. These things just aren't arbitrary, people -- get real!

What I don't like is signing on the panel of those electronic card readers. My signature with a light pen != my signature with a real pen.

I too would like to join this "I did shit yesterday, just leave me alone today okay" club.

Theo, I posted a link in music to a site called Little Hits that I think you would like.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I saw some reports around the holidays that some stores were cracking down on accepting unsigned cards, including the ones that said Check ID. As mine say See ID, I'm irked, and suppose I should sign them as well.

Most cards do say, "Not valid unless signed" on the back, so technically stores are not supposed to accept any unsigned cards. I have seen people who both sign and write see ID on their card, which I think is a good idea.

I get asked for ID all the time. In fact, there are certain stores here, Hustler, for example, where the store policy is ID must be shown with every credit card purchase.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I would say that DH - who has check Id on his cards is almost always asked. My debit card - the sig is so faded that you can't really see it - so I am usually asked. except if there is a machine reading it ... then , even if the machine says show cashier, no one cares. But it only bugs me at places where they don't know me. I am at the pharmacy once a week - they know me and they have connected me with DH as well ( different last names)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

You know, it's an awful lot to ask someone as ADD Indigo as me to remember to dye my aura Hot Pink. I can barely remember to color my hair!

You know how we thought yesterday was the longest day ever? I think we were wrong. It's actually today. Unless Wednesday never ended last night and cunningly has assumed a Thursday skin.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I've been asked for ID on occasion. Also, is it just me, or is that signature strip getting more and more hostile to actual signing? It got all slippery, and then they printed things all over it, and then they put indentations in it -- I just got a new credit card that I literally cannot sign. It's too slippery.

no, I agree with you here. I started signing cards with a Sharpie.

My card has my signature printed on the front. It's about 11 years old. My last name has lost a few letter in signage over the years, but it is pretty close. Now the picture....god, I really need to send them a new one to use on the next card.
