Silliness So what are you doing RIGHT NOW? - Page 2039

I just ordered my Kindle!

I found that Visa has a kind of pre-paid virtual credit card available called 3V. You can buy a card for a certain amount, maximum €150, either online or in store. However, you can't top it up although you can merge two cards (for €2,50) if you have left overs.

I emailed Amazon first if they accept this kind of Visa card and they do. Because of the €150 maximum I couldn't buy the Kindle plus accessories in one go so I bought two credit cards with which I bought two Amazon gift cards for myself. After ordering my Kindle I still have nearly $50 left to spend on ebooks.

You can't use it to purchase things over €150 unless you can buy gift cards for yourself. But for me it's a good solution and relatively save.

Estimated time of delivery for my Kindle: 25-27 May. Until it arrives I'll probably be glued to my computer tracking it

Just don't touch it. Dr. Mosby says it carries germs.

Now you can experience the interesting phenomenon of 'T....I....M....E....' That the ability of one week taking about a month to complete. In America, we notice it when driving across Ohio or Nebraska, when one afternoon can take a full week!

RIGHT NOW I'm wonder if I'm too old to wear this tank top to the Foo Fighter's concert in Memphis. This leads to wondering if I'm too old to travel there in my hubby's new Camaro. I'd better stop before I get to wondering if I'm too old to go to the concert in the first place!

A relative, I presume? Perhaps the "black snake" of the family that no-one mentions?

Just got off the phone with the missus who went and had an ultrasound.

Learned that we's having a boy!
