Re: Almost 3000 ! #107099 July 14th, 2004 at 04:31 PM Joined: Mar 2004 afgreyparrot Official Problem Child afgreyparrot Official Problem Child Joined: Mar 2004 Ahh, but that's the beauty of PayPal! You don't HAVE to have a credit card! Just any bank account that they can transfer money to and from. I always keep money directly IN my PayPal account, though, for those little Ebay emergencies that I don't want Andy to know about! But, usually I just let them put it on my credit card, so Andy will pay it! (He just shakes his head, but he pays!) You can do it so many ways. Just keep money in it like a checking account, or let them take it out of your savings or checking account at your bank, or put it on a credit card. Most people on Ebay pay with PayPal when they buy something from me, and I just let the money build up. If it gets to be a LOT, I have them transfer some of it to my checking account. I could not live without PayPal!

Made me wonder if my parents had no imagination on their own! If we named kids now after songs, they'd have some pretty weird names...

Re: Almost 3000 ! #107144 November 1st, 2004 at 03:53 PM Joined: Oct 2004 Maine Merme Member Merme Member Joined: Oct 2004 Maine Well, when we were getting ready to have Maxi, picking a name seemed like the hardest thing we'd ever done. We settled on Maximillian for his first name because it works well in a variety of ways. Maxi is cute for a child. Max is believable for an adult. And if he ever gets Knighted by the Queen of England, Sir Maximillian sounds just swell! But we wanted to include something of Maine in his name because he is the first Mainer ever born on either side of the family. We looked at the names of hundreds of towns in the state and none of them worked for us. How could we name our kid Wiscassset or Ogunquit?! So one night at 2 AM, my then-husband sat up in bed and said "How about Casco?" It isn't just the name of our local bay, but it is also the name of our region where we were living the happiest days of our entire lives. So that became the first of his two middle names. Each year I take him on a cruise of Casco Bay so he can get a ships view of "his" bay. When he was quite small, he'd tell people "My name is Maximillian Casco Bay!" and I'd remind him to leave out the Bay part. He'd chuckle and say "Oh, ok, Mama!" Merme

I wish I'd have put that much thought into my daughter's name. My mom bestowed me with the same middle name SHE had, which I've always disliked.....so what do I do? Turn around and give it to my daughter as a gift to my mom! She hates it, too. Cindy

Maybe she'll like it better if you point that out by singing that one line by Hank Williams Jr "It's a family tradition!" making your eyebrows jump up and down while you sing it. Well, at least she'll be able to laugh about it if not exactly thank you. Merme

Maybe it isn't such a bad thing that I do not have a middle name after all. My name is Mary-Ellen (yes, it has a hyphen) but everyone calls me Mary-El for short. With my first name thus jointed into one word, my mom was too tired to think of a middle name that would go along with it. I'm the youngest of six kids, bless her heart. She had to have been running out of good ideas by the time I came along. Merme
