Oh my god, I totally know what you mean. I accidentally signed myself up for a LoveFilm account (It's not a dodgy porno thing, like it sounds :laugh: I don't know if you guys have it in the US, basically it's a movie rental thing) when my ex-friend and I got stopped in the street, and they were all "Oh, we only need your credit cards for ID, you don't have to pay anything, after three months you decide whether or not to upgrade to a paid account". Anyway. Later that month, I notice I've lost five quid from my bank. Totally scammed. Tried cancelling online, but, apparently, you have to phone up to cancel, and if there's one thing I loathe, it's phone calls :laugh:

tl;dr, because I can't/won't make a phone call, I'm still losing money every month. I think I've paid for the same DVD (which I've lost when I threw out all my junk mail) for the past 8 months or so.

Cancel the card! I hate when ppl do that!

That's how I got my heart&soul tshirt. *lowers head in shame* The dude was like, sign up for this newspaper and get this Stevie Nicks tshirt! I said, "yay free!" So I signed up and 2 weeks later I called to cancel. Ooooooooh but they didn't have me in the system yet, they didn't know my info, they didn't think I signed up with them. Riiiiiiight....so a few days later, there's the charge! So I called back, really calm, to cancel. This rep had the nerve to tell me that he'll refund me one paper, but not the entire charge. No no no booboo! U will give me my money! Plus I NEVER got one paper! Well after I finished talking to the supervisor about how I was lied to, misinformed and greatly hurt and discouraged by their company, she refunded me my money! And I still have the Tshirt! Lmao!

I love Stevie, but now I know there r things that I won't do for her! Lmao!

You misunderstood. let me rephrase. Please don't assume that I only have 1 side of the story. And with that, I will let this go & alow this thread to go back to its original purpose.

I drink alcohol, but only weak versions - beer, wine cooler-type beverages, light wine, a very occasional margarita or weak mixed drink. I can handle all of that, but I literally cannot drink hard liquor straight. Even a really stiff mixed drink will do me in. I get very sloppy/slurry & out of control very fast. It's not good.

You should be proud of yourself for knowing your limitations, Bee. :thumbsup:

Thanks. I thought I was the only on eannoyed.

Love it.

there goes my diet coke. :lol:


JTIS - first day of autumn tomorrow. my favorite season!

My tummy really hurts!!!!!

I like you. :p

I still miss GL though. :(

No, it's Paypal. No one can access your $. You can pay for 6 or 12 months.

If I pay for 6 months and get banned 2 months later,, will I get my money $4 back?

Ppl keep saying how much it costs, but no one is answering about a refund. *raised eyebrow*

I doubt it. There's probably a fee associated with getting banned--paperwork, meetings/hearings/court costs, etc. This moderating thing is not cheap.

According to the FAQ:


A "Supporting Ledgie" is someone who, through a nominal contribution, helps us to meet the expenses of The Penguin and the Ledge. All contributions are either used for enhanced functionality or to offset running expenses. We pay a monthly fee for a dedicated server providing ample bandwidth, speed, and space to reliably run the Ledge and the rest of the Penguin. In addition to helping to support the site, "Supporting Ledgies" receive the following additional benefits: no banner advertising as they browse, the ability to turn off the Ebay auction listings, up to 150 private message storage capacity, a green username on the Who's Online List, their name listed on the 'View Forum Leaders' page, contribution status indicated under your username, a maximum Avatar Size of 75x75 (instead of 50x50), and the ability to be invisible on the Who's Online list.


Contributions can be conveniently and securely be made via Paypal in the Paid Subscription section of your User CP. Subscriptions can be purchased for either $6 for 6 months or $12 for 12 months. That only a dollar per month -- less than a cup of Starbucks coffee!

Nope, you won't get it back. It's a contribution/gift.

See! I don't have to be bothered with getiing a lawyer. I'll pass.

I'll just keep my longer posts, off this board. Yes, it's true, I actually can write more than one-liners. But honestly, I think it wouldn't be appreciated around here.......... *rollseyes*

And those that I ACTUALLY (alk to off this board knows full well that I have a lot to say!!!!! Lmao!

Oh no no no! Yall are not taking my $6 dollars and then pulling the trigger on me! :lol:

Thanks for posting this Tango!

I think being a supporting member on these message boards one still has to abide by all the rules and it doesn't give one the right to get away with anything more than anyone else does just because you pay your money. If you're not acting up there shouldn't be cause for them to ban you and you feeling they're taking your money.

Do u have fb or twitter? I will gladly explain off this board what I mean.......

I'm going out tonight but i'm really tired because i've been out all day taking photographs for possible locations for my photoshoots, and i've got a project to finish off on the 1960s that i'm really enjoying.. so i'd rather stay in tonight but i'm going to force myself to go out. *sighs*
