Thank you whoever just donated $50. You did it without a return email. On the way to church tomorrow I will take that money and give it to her.
 
Sadly some people don't believe in banks esp those that may have been burned or had families burned during the depression. Also some people cannot get bank accounts.

Even that said, having $1000 cash is not a real rarity if you are traveling, vacationing. I usually carry cash when I am on a cruise ship and visiting islands. Too much potential for fraud on my cards and even though I am fully protected it's just a PITA to deal with.

Anyone that isn't an illegal (and even some can?) immigrant can get a bank account, no question. If you blame fee's, take a step outside retarded bank chains like BoA, Chase, Wells Fargo, etc.. etc.. and go for a Credit Union. Again, if you carry cash you are a dumb fuck and you need a lesson taught. End of story.

Also, I've never had issues with credit cards. You call them up, say "I didn't make that charge"... and that's it. You must be doing it wrong, because the investigation is on THEIR end. They have to prove that it is YOUR transaction, not for YOU to prove it is not your transaction.

I do INTERNATIONAL traveling and don't carry cash. I bring a debit card when I international travel for withdrawling international currency when necessary... but I sure as hell don't carry much freely. And that is only because I can't depend on my credit card working at all vendors internationally.
 
Our daughter is very happy, I don't have the money in my hand. but we showed her this and we was so happy about it.

Some are in a situation their money may be grabbed out of a bank.

It's awesome you travel everywhere plastic is accepted though.

I was talking about debit cards though. For us with damaged credit, that's our option.

I will get my money back, but it may take 30 days to do that or more.
 
When you look up from your petty internet bickering and see that brianmanahan is the considered voice of reason, that should be your wake-up call to radically reassess your posting approaches.

I think it's excellent sig material for you. lol

Alky, the girl did good. Not many people would do what she did and you should be proud, step-daughter or blood daughter. I have a stepmother who I consider a second mother, so I know how close you can be to step-relatives. Congrats on finding what seems to be a nice family. :thumbsup:
 
Still pondering how OP turned 60.

I would have figured 48ish or so after the insulting things you were posting from your 30 reunion a few weeks ago.
 
Wow, the amount of posts dived after Perknose's ominous warning. It's too bad cause there isn't much to discuss wrt to the OP. The young woman did a great thing which, hopefully, will come back to her. However, there isn't much story in that. The keywords, now there's a story...

Why only talk about it? We're all rich in ATOT, right?

How did I dox you?

---snipped---

However; attacking me being 60 when my kid is graduating is indirectly attacking my kid. We didn't think it would happen, but it did and I am happy about it. Can't go back and change it now.

It's going to be good for my mother too as it's her first grandchild and she has terminal cancer possibly.

link to L&R post deleted

Pay careful attention the first sentence.

Anyway, good on the daughter of your GF...who isnt your daughter.

This was not part of any I am rich thing. It was part of people telling me I don't donate.

I did $200 back to back with a email receipt. Normally it's on my bank statement.

I wish I was rich.

I am OK.
 
[DUMBASS]You make it sound like it was an accident, and youre surprised lol[/DUMBASS]

First I reported this link to my L&R post, because you are being a dick. [who isn't(sic) your daughter.]

I am 43, she is 42. It's really fine anyone knows that. We have been having sex for 2 years+, I took her out of a bad relationship, and we are all happy. She's making the kids (and that daughter who isn't my daughter) Lasagna tonight. Here I am trying to get Goat Simulator working for my (maybe not by your definition) 11 year old on his laptop.

What I didn't say is we finally got pregnant just before that and she miscarried. This all happened in under a week.

She was pregnant again and now we are going 14 weeks.

So all those kids are here tonight and everyone is happy.

Can you explain the keywords to me?

Why report it? Im just trying to get your story straight for continuity. Either she's preggo by accident or she isnt.

And yeah. I know all the rest. Ive read your blog (aka ATOT/ATL&R).

And I am factually correct - she is NOT your daughter. No malice or calling out at all. She is in no way, legally or biologically, your daughter, but is in fact the daughter of your GF. *shrug* And, as I said, good on her.

Interesting choice of words/context. Tells me you're vacillating between being "awesome" and normal. Can't be both. Seriously, if this insta-family gives your life meaning then the "awesome" part was nothing more than a cry for help. Perhaps you'll be really happy now, which is a good thing.

I'm saying, why "hope" when you can do? I'm trying to get him to put his money where his mouth is.
 
"My" & "Daughter".

My Daughter does not have to be BIOLOGICAL to me.

Does that make it easier to comprehend?

If not since this is OT, I'd recommend if you ever have a "Daughter" just slit your wrists and get out of their lives.

She just 21 then, I met with her many times leading up to her mom getting the fuck out of dodge.

She was a bit more honest than her mom was. She needed a lot.

So I did what she needed, got her a phone and a laptop.

She is here now watching movies and playing games with her brothers (non are biological to her except that her mom created them), and everyone in this house is content.

So how am I a bad guy?

Dude, as much fun as it is poking Alky with a stick, L&R need not be linked here. It's a private sub forum and the rules there state no outside linking.

I am being honest. Goat Simulator is a hot topic in this house for the 11 year old.

So happy,

I am about to post a picture here that will make it ok.

I will show our kid's laptop, our ultra-sounds, the Lasagna, and Goat Simulator.

🙂
