I recently learned something while paying my bills online or via the telephone...be sure you have the correct number.

For those who have the American Express card, you may be familiar with the 1 - 800 - I PAY - AXP (American X Press) line, which enables you to pay your bill via the telephone.

Though I've known this number for quite some time, a recent bill paying episode turned into a humorous situation when I drew a blank while dialing. The number I thought of was 1 - 800 - I PAY AMEX, for American Express. The first call didn't sound right, so I redialed.

Imagine my shock to redial the same number only to hear "Thank you for choosing * *. If you are under 18, you must hang up now."

Then a sultry, somewhat whispering voice spoke "Welcome to Intimate Connections, where you'll hear sexy introductions from callers on our system..."      (CLICK!)

Thank goodness it was a 1-800 line, I would have died of embarrassment when hubby saw the bill. Ah, so is this what you do all day while I'm at work?

I think at some point in time we all have those moments. And it's funny that it happens with a number you might call often. Being here in Korea we usually use calling cards to make long distance calls. I called a friend of mine in the states and we chatted till the card ran out and I said I'll call you right back I have another card.

I hung up used my other calling card and dialed this same persons phone number, to my surprise I got a message that said "I'm sorry all Swiss phone lines are busy right now please try your call later", I looked at the phone and said "Swiss?", I dialed again and got the same recording, now I think I'm going crazy.

I tell myself- one more try and this time I dialed the number so slow you would have thought I was just learning to read my numbers- but I got through. Imagine if I was calling using a direct line, that's a bill I wouldn't want to see probably cost an arm just to connect.

omg chunt that's so mean! she's done nothing to you!

Just a question, does the board have the ability to delete posts by a banned member?

If editing the posts is possible, surely we can edit the entire person from the site, yes?

Again with the immature posts. I long for the day banned posters' ISP numbers are revealed to everyone.
