[TobyF]

probably a stupid glitch like the money thing.

 

[LlamaRhama]

I was wondering how long before someone said this

 

[Jaded]

But why is it on a pie?

 

[MrTrentSD]

Can you imagine being the last patient a doctor sees on a Friday? They're ready to get the weekend started and you can tell they just want to get you out the door.

"So I think my stomach is bleeding more than normal this week"
"I am ready to get my drink on! Know what I'm saying? Anyway you're fine, take a bunch of aspirin"

Never set any appt. on a Monday morning:sleep2: or Friday afternoon

 

[LlamaRhama]

But why is it on a pie?

It's valiantly guarding it?

I went to add a bank account the other day and there was a message at the top about their request to validate my account information, saying that they needed a government ID and proof of address. I faxed it to them and never heard anything back. But apparently I validated everyone's account. You're welcome.

 

[Type2Work]

I always show my 14 year old son the Raspberry Pi stuff you all post and it makes me look semi cool. Thanks

 

[rjd66]

Oh sooo many of those wonderful things

 

[electrolyte]

This is the correct answer to that question.

"I am ready to get my drink on! Know what I'm saying? Anyway you're fine, take a bunch of aspirin"

Can you imagine being able to see a doctor?

Hahahaha I can't wait to shuffle off this mortal coil

This was the message on Payments under the "edit my account settings". It sounded vaguely threatening but I never got an email about it and I don't know how long it was there before I noticed:

if they ever tell me I need proof of address. or if I move and change my address. what do I need? to get through that successfully as fast as I can. I don't remember what I needed last time years ago. I get very little mail that isn't junk mail. my utilities are online, I don't get mail from them. the address on my driver's license is from my last address, not the 1 I live at now.

When I moved and changed my address, they didn't ask for any proof.

that's a relief, hopefully I will be the same. but they pretended you didn't move.

I sent my license and a copy of my lease.I have no idea if this was an actual change or just a weird Amazon glitch, cause like I said, I never got any email about it like they mentioned.
