I'm pretty sure I should stop wandering outside of off-topic and adventure paths, it's starting to get a little weird.
Yep. I've learned that no matter how basic, how simple, how yes/no your question is, if you post it, it'll start a flame war.
So I cower and hide with my AP and FaWtL buddies...
...and occasionally apologize to Chris.

I know back when I was with Wells Fargo the default settings when ordering checks online was for the gold-laminated checks that played M.C. Hammer's "Can't Touch This" every time you filled them in...
...seriously, though, Wells Fargo defaulted to the uber-ornate checks and it cost around $39, but you could switch to "basic blue" checks and get it down to $10-$15.
But that was 10-15 years ago. Switched to a credit union, never looked back...
(Or a credit onion, as Anius used to say? Anyone ever hear what happened to Anius?)
~grumbles~ Oh no. The checks were $21. It was shipping and processing fees that bumped it up to $39.

Yes it does.

I do hope that your bill issue gets better soon. I REALLY need to pick up a part time job. With the wife not working, someone needs to pick up the slack.

I'm about that behind on Paizo stuff except adventures, hopefully when Tiny T-Rex is off to school next fall I can catch up on what I want, frankly some of it like Ultimate Campaign, Unchained, and ACG do not interest me at all.
Even Bestiary 5 doesn't really excite me.
Oh, well, back to bland advice and droll responses.

So, WHY do I do business with companies like LL Bean, when I can get dress pants much cheaper at Target or Old Navy?
(And just so's you know, the total turnaround time on these e-mails was under 90 minutes.)
Dear NobodysHome,
I am sorry to hear about your dress chinos not holding up as expected. I am sending a replacement pair and not charging your card for this order along with some special paperwork to return the defective pair. Please return the defective pair with the label and special paperwork that will arrive with your new pants.
Thank you for letting us know about this issue so that we could correct it for you.

Subject: Replacement pants for Order #nnn?
Dear LLB,
On the one hand, I love love LOVE the look, fit, and comfort of your wrinkle resistant dress chinos (Item #AM262555).
On the other hand, after wearing them only 3 times, the elastic at the waist tore, and the pants are no longer wearable without a belt.
This particularly vexes me because the pants aren’t exactly tight-fitting. Without a belt, they slide down around my hips so I pondered ordering another pair one waist size down.
My assumption is that there was an error in manufacturing this particular pair of pants; your products have always been of the highest quality, and I still have 20-year-old coats and 15-year-old boots that can attest to that.
How can I go about getting a replacement pair of pants? Do you need photos? The physical pants?
Thanks for your help!
Sincerely,
NobodysHome
Happy-but-Frustrated Customer

This is how I made it through high school math
Actually, a lot of physicists (who are generally pretty good at math) think of themselves as "calculator cripples" and I've never seen more math mistakes made than by those who love it and are brilliant at it.
I suspect it's like rolling a d20: the more times you make a skill check, the more often you'll make a mistake... but in this case, you get better.

If this job would let me have a day off, I would get a second job. But this job keeps me too busy to look for a real job! :P
Ah heck with it, Happy Early Thanksgiving all! :)

Also we're now in the 8-10 inch (of snow) band, so I expect mass pandemonium if I wait until after school.
Snow? Meh, whatevs. {casts summon kitten swarm to lick away all the snow}

HI, OLIVE!!!!
Hey, do you think my new chainmail is, you know, showing a bit too much off?

I have to admit, barring my other gripes about FR, I do like Fzoul Chembryl as a villain.
You need to change his portrait though, Fzoul looks pretty much exactly like Ostog the Unslain or the new Skald iconic whose name escapes me - long dark blonde hair with mustache and beard. It's a pretty perfect fit =)
