ita,
I have had $$ wired to me from overseas, I had to provide acct #, and my details, but I have a mailing address for my banks (I have a box at a postal service), not my home address.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My family has wired me money before, which is cool--they have my deets. I don't know this chick my sister is having send money--it costs me less to receive international wires than her. But I don't want her to have all my stuff, since I don't have an alternate address like you do.
BofA tells me:
Email setup is complete
Friends and family can now use your email address to send you money.
But that's not the most helpful thing in the world...can a personal Swiss account leverage this? I'm missing the part with the instructions for my friends and family...
Man, why doesn't everyone just have Paypal (in this scenario it's also free for everyone--I'm not sure of the profit structure yet)?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Dad said to say hi to the invisible buffista people.
Aww, hi to Dad. I am glad he loves your tattoo. It's really beautiful.
I showed it to Mom tonight and she really liked it too.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Courtesy of Matt Ruff: Per last week's "another think/thing coming" debate: Do you say "soft-pedal" or "soft-peddle"?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
It's the pedal on the left on a piano, it muffles and softens the sound of the hammers striking the strings. The one on the right is the sustain pedal, it, well, sustains the note or notes. I forget what the center one does, if I ever knew.
We know where toe the line and jump the gun come from, right?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Pedal. "Peddle" always looked wrong though I couldn't explain why. But thanks to Bev, now I can. Cool!

IMHO, 'tickled pink' means embarrassed in a nice way so that you blush.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
In the movie "far and away" , in the boxing scenes, they drew a chalk line on the floor and a little boy screamed "toe the line" and the boxers were not supposed to step over it toward each other. The kid was played by the kid who played Crutchy in Newsies. Not sure how accurate it was.
