I cant seem to find someone who can handle talking about it

Overgeneralizing mouse (negative thinking style)... because you never approached me, most likely never approached many here actually, if any, nor have you just posted it, because you don't need permission to post something here, bar its not about committing suicide, otherwise anything goes.

You don't need to ask mouse... so stop trying to take things upon yourself and just post what you think please, because that is the idea of the forum.

Chip and pin is basically where you credit and debit cards have a microchip in it. You put your card in a little gadget at the shop til and put in a 4 digit pin number. It's supposed to reduce fraud, as there is no signature to forge.

EFTPOS is what your saying... man, Australia runs on that one. No cheques used here, all electronic with PIN (personal identification number), oh, cash is obviously used. You cannot use pretty much any other form to buy anything in Australia, cash or eftpos (debit, visa, mastercard, etc).

Oh... If that is the case. I did that too when I and bought any thing. Just as fast as cash and you can have your card shut off if ever mugged, can't shut off your cash. Scott, lot of people do it for safety reasons, a wallet full of cash on a lady is a lot more tempting than a card, and always cameras that record areas cards are used here, not cash. I feel sorry for the woman, I would be sent back into my home for a good year or so.

Hi Veiled, the woman probably had 88p in her purse, a lot of stores here in the UK have limits on what you can buy with chip & pin. A lot of stores have a minimum limit of £5.00 for using a chip & pin or credit card.

no, not upset about a thing... except for the offensive "g string" comment. Really, just explaining why some women do that. I used to be zero cash exchanges. I only went back to cash as part of getting my finances straight, hurts more when handing over the actual green backs so you spend less.

now Scott.. entertain this idea..

what if she is poor and all she had was that 88 on her card. or 1.00 (have no idea where that nifty symbol is on my board).. hmmm...

I'm sorry but.. that is .... okay no words .. put it this way.. I would probably have a rough time ever going there again. if not leaving my house.. I would probably have to be rushed to the hostpital for severe anxiety attack.. (now wouldn't that hold up the line up!).. and everyone would take a good look at you.. and you would be the embarrassed one..

If she was poor she shouldn't have a debit card in the first place, if you can't afford to pay back a debit card or credit card why have one in the first place.
I mean if she was poor having a debit card or credit card is just getting yourself into more debt. And anyway, I've seen this girl in Irvine, she drives about in a huge 4x4. So it was just laziness more than anything on this girls behalf. Sorry Veiled. Becs, calm down dear, you're getting yourself into a tizzie again.

Who cares whether she was just plain lazy or not? The world doesn’t revolve around us Scott. Who’s to say that the quality of what you set in motion and displayed is any finer of a quality than what you’re assuming is her pure laziness? Hell, if I were her, I know that I would not have allowed myself to express any vulnerability to your comments I would have quickly drawn up every bit of anger below the surface in me, seen that as an opportunity to release some, and return injury for injury with some intuitive, quick thinking humiliating words. Though sometimes shy, I automat. change when someone’s messing with me and have themselves, there own little audience. Sounds to me like her face wasn’t scarlet with embarrassment, it was scarlet from humiliation.

Why in the world are you remembering this anyways? Do you have some complex guilt or a resentment, 6 mo. later. Read the, Diamonds in the Rough thread, pg. 9, there‘s a fine quote called, “It is the weak who are cruel.” And, I won’t deny that I too am weak at times. But, don’t expect some of us here to congratulate you, for humiliating this woman. Or even, to discuss it any further. We all make mistakes, and it’s alright, it’s far easier to own them for what they’re rather than brag about them for what they are not.

…Pumped up and please, know Scott, it’s me in a tizzie with my g-string in a twist, no one else. And, it feels rather good. lol

Bec what you wrote reminds me of something insightful, I read and understood yrs. ago about paradigm shifts. And veiled please won’t you edit this post if I’ve remarked in any inappropriate way. Just a little triggered and t’d off and I’m leaving it here, right now.

Or even, to discuss it any further

Good point hope, this was a great thread topic... to me it sounded like a 'venting' area... which I know we all need
My hands been itching to just delete the last couple of posts... try to get this thread back on topic.
But... I'm not a big fan of "erasing the past" (even if they are posts)
So, even though some members (myself included) have been thrown off and upset by some comments... lets bite our tongues and try to continue what goingonhope started!!

Today:
- Errands that need to be done are hanging over my head... ughhhhh
- My cable box keeps skipping and cutting out the sound during an intense part of a show... LOL I have to guess at what the actors are saying
- Bill collectors keep calling... I'm so tired of explaining myself to them, it's embarressing.

I am overly stressed that anytime I open my journal a 3 year old takes it and runs off to fetch her crayons. It is driving me nuts as when hubs gets home he will either pop a pizza in the oven or cook something simple (haapy he does not bitching about that part). But I feel like I have to pull teethe to get him to take on the baby just to breathe much less reflect and work on my issues. Sure I could take it away she throws a fit but then who can do this with a screaming crying 3 yo? I have so much sitting on my mind. When I type here a single post can take me 1/2 hour as I come and go from it tending to her. I need a baby break.
