Their use isn't nearly as ubiquitous in Germany (probably Europe in general) as it is in the US.

I didn't know you were German.

Sieg Heil!

I'm not, but I live there.

Danke, dir auch.

I got you Paul. Ten dollars has been donated in your name. Peace.

Sounds nice. Not even debit cards?

I don't know about Germany but here we use the c/c a whole hell of a lot. Even debit cards, given out by the banks, have now the VISA logo and are accepted as credit cards, the only differences being you don't get credit (duh) so can only use what's in your bank account and, of course, you get no bills. It's become almost alien to me now to fish out money from my pocket rather than pop in the credit card or swipe it at the touch panel, in fact, if I find a shop that doesn't take credit cards I'm like

Same. It hasn't helped my account balance any though.

It actually makes it worse, tbh. When you know how much you have in your pocket, as in, when you had to take it out of the bank, you tend not to overspend, whereas with a c/c, even if I have enough in the account I'm still thinking "Man I hope this doesn't reject!" I'll do a quick calc in my head as to how much money should be there, but I don't check my bank a/c half as often as I should, which has in fact resulted in my being the victim of c/c fraud on three separate but non-consecutive occasions.

Thankfully with a debit card I just get declined and have to face thirty seconds of silent judgement while I'm like, "I should have more on there! I don't even know what happened!"

The worst is when they ask you "do you want to try another card?" NO I ****ING DON'T! You know full well this decline means I have not enough money in my account, and do I look like the sort of person who would have money stashed away in another one? **** you: you just want me to be more embarrassed than I already am!

And then, the walk of shame to put back that which you can not now afford...
:(

"I got three bucks in my wallet. Can you take what's left on the card and I'll pay the rest in cash?"

The handful of times I've had a card declined it was because my bank had cancelled it due to some kind of suspicious activity with that card number.

Anyway, I just put in my donation. Hope it helps! :)

You guys are seriously the best, I am just floored by your generosity. Here's a photo of her from her OG San Francisco summer of love hippie days.

As for me we have been alerted the mandatory evacuation on our house has been reduced to advisory, so we are setting up air purifiers to run through the night and we hope to be home tomorrow. <3

Edit: PayPal should be an option now, let me know if it's not.

She sure was one groovy chick! :)
Glad that things seem to be finally looking to get better for ya; keep us updated.
:beer:

You ain't never had a card declined or have to put **** back at the register?

.

Nah it's amazing. I sucked the teller's dick and it tasted like chicken. Got my cigarettes as a bonus.

I'm a high school student who, in addition to being broke, has no means of paying for anything online. So I'll instead offer my best wishes to WWWP and her grandmother and kudos to the rest of you for being big-hearted.

Look, I'm not saying that WWWP's granny isn't important, but seriously she isn't.

Marijuana farms are burning in California wildfires - Oct. 12, 2017

The cannabis culture is so greedy up there they deserve it.

Not like it's shocking or new but you just sound bitter.

It does. Spare a dollar? Sorry: fifteen million Yen?
Come on: you haven't lived if you haven't experienced this at least once in your life.
Bet that held up the queue! :laughing:
All right, one more time but this is the last. Ten dollars has been donated on your behalf. :thumb:
Yesterday you wanted shots of her tits. Make up your mind!

Yes, I am.

Yeah there are a lot of farms lost, most of which supply our local dispensaries (RIP all those new baby strains). The wine industry was also heavily affected, and the surviving vineyards are now tainted by the ash and will be for years.

I didn't see a paypal option.

Damn, sorry. I'm not in control of the account so I'm trying to troubleshoot with my aunt through text. Might take a while.

Geez man, you're unreal. Thanks. I'll pay you back someday when I'm rich and famous :D

I just kicked $20 your granny's way Steph. I hope things look up for all of y'all. Much love from my stony heart.

Nah, you're welcome. No repayment necessary. Your heart's in the right place (which is lucky, as you're young, and if it wasn't that could be a serious medical condition!) :D

Reminds me of a Joe Budden lyric.

**** joe budden

Why?

i’m not gonna derail a thread about raising money for WWWP’s grandma but long story short he’s just a mark ass bitch

We can move it to a different thread, I'm genuinely curious.

^ Just helped your Grandma out, WWP; she has a nice smile.

Does this mean that one of the children in the window is your mother?!

Yes! The one on the left, little Moonflower. My aunt Aphrodite has the wild red hair. :)

OK

For the record, your family is insanely cool.

^ :laughing: Wow! Your Grandma really was a hippy! I hope she has the spiritual resources to bounce back from this horrible disaster.
