View Full Version : So depressing
I had everything set up to redo my tank friday, My substrate is comining in thursday and my new plants all ordered and due to ship out tomarrow 2nd. day so I get them Friday (and friday off from work) But I found a fraudulent payment on my card and had to cancell it! I won't get my new card for 10 days and my plants would be charged tomarrow, Now no plants, becouse my card isn't good ! I want to cry:( I'm just so upset, Now I'll have to wait another 2 weeks at least before I get my plants!!!
That's a shame punch. But it will give you time to set all your other stuff up, clean up your substrate and get things arranged and into the tank while you wait for your plants.

Yea, but everything IS all set up, just waiting on the substrate and plants, SIGH.

Just ask your credit card company to give the new number and expiration date over the phone. Mine has done that for me in the past when I was waiting on a card....worth trying anyways...
IT was a POS card from the bank, no can do:(

There has to be some reason why you haven't done this all already, but why can't you use another card? Or maybe even a friends, and just pay them for it in cash?
Well, my credit cards are maxed:D And I just don't feel right borrowing more then 100 bucks from a friend who will say
"you want how much for what!? aquatic PLANTS?

Point taken.
Parents?
YIPPEE!!! The guy I odered most my plants from said he would send it out cod for me! He said they don't do this, BUT since I'm a good customer he'll do it this once! What a nice guy! I ordered from 1 other place but the bulk of what I bought is from this guy,
So I can plant yeaaaaaaaa:p :D :) :D :p :) :D

Don't let The Man steal from you. Pay off your credit card debt. You should never be in debt farther than you can pay off (easily) in two or three months.
Be smart with your money.
Don't I know, be assured most of my money does go to pay off my card, But I've been squirling away 20 bucks every paycheck to be able to get the plants and stuff, Almost a year! It's a present to my self for NOT using my cards.

Punch,
That is great to hear that. Its nice to have a great relationship like that with a dealer. :)
My LFS is kinda like that with me, he had a small pc light that fit perfectly on my 2.5 gallon tank. He said i could pay him this weekend, since i didnt have the cash on me this past weekend.
which dealer if you dont mind me for asking?

Fishvet,
They have a nice catalog and grow all there own I believe. They can be pricey but there plants have always looked good and they have a good selection.

Punch,
I try never to spend more in a day then I made that very day. If I didn't work that day, it get's bought another day.
Of course, I'm 16 years old and work at a Pet Store. Sometimes a have a difficult time not spending more at work then I make at work....
Happy Planting

And that's why they hired you:-)
Don't fear, I had the same problem. 2$ hr cash, 3$ hr credit was the deal in the 1970's.

Same thing in the 60's Tom. We all go through those changes and learning processes.:)
Rocket guy, you are wise beyond your years. Or, as you dudes would say....., "Word"!!!!
