Is it? I had noticed that a few days ago but I thought it was my computer clock and kept meaning and then forgetting to double-check and adjust it.

You guys are awesome. We fixed that one site, but in the process we may have broken the lupus site. Can you guys please tell me what you see on this page:

Take this for what it's worth (my computer expertise is limited to knowing how to google really really well LOL) but could it something silly like needing to clean out their cache?

No, it's something to do with the DNS and pointing to the IP. My boss tried adjusting the settings on the server and now both the lupus and the quitnow site are fubared again. I'm so ready to go home. This day has been far too weird and stupid for my liking.

Thanks again for trying!

I seem to have more problems with atm/debit cards than anyone I know. Probably because I still carry it in my back pocket (though alone, not with any other cards.) And yet again I'm having a problem, but it's one I haven't experienced yet.

About six months, I bent the heck out of it somehow. Straightened it out and it's worked just fine. Then 2-3 weeks ago, I went to the grocery store and tried to use it and it came up as invalid. Tried it a couple more times and it still kept coming up as invalid. Cashier told me that since it came up as invalid instead of declined, it was either a problem with their system, the banks, or the card itself, not having insufficient funds. I knew I didn't since Darren had just gotten paid. Ended up having to run home and grab cash and go back for my groceries cuz I couldn't get my card to work. That evening though, I was able to get gas without a problem and haven't had one since until today.

This morning I went to the bank, deposited a check, and pulled $40 cash. Went to pay a bill, used my atm card. Went to the bead store, same thing, used my card. LOL, the cash, btw, is for the kids school lunches for two weeks and Darren's Friday morning breakfast on the way to work.

Then I went to the pharmacy to pick up my aunts prescriptions. Usually it's just a couple bucks, but I also had to get her asprin and a pill cutter thingamajig so the bill was 19 and some change. Slid my card and did my pin number and the girl tells me it said invalid pin #. Thought it was possible I hit the wrong number so I did it again and paid close attention to what numbers I was hitting. That time it just came up as the card being invalid. Luckily I had the cash I'd pulled this morning.

Since I'd had no problem after the grocery store a few weeks ago, I'd assumed the problem was on their end or the banks. But with this happening at the pharmacy, I'm thinking it probably wasn't the grocery stores system. I had been to the bank this morning, so knew exactly to the penny how much was in the bank and even if I hadn't been there, I haven't paid mortgage for next month yet so I would still know damn well there's plenty of money. And then when I complained to Darren about it, found out he'd stopped on his way home from work to get gas with no problem (about 20 minutes after my trip to the pharmacy.) Which leads me to believe it's most likely my card that's screwed up.

We stopped by the bank this evening and were able to pull cash for dinner with no problem, though we did use Darren's card and not mine.

So...am I going to have to call and get a new card or is it possible the problems on the banks end? I really, really don't want to have to get a new card, it's a pita. They'll close out my old one immediately and while we do keep a little cash around the house, it's usually not much and I rely on my atm card. Not to mention there's several things that come out of the checking account off my card like the kids gaming accounts that I'll have to change.

War- Don't think it's the bank or it wouldn't work at all. In my experience if you tell the bank that the card is damaged, not lost or stolen, they will send you a replacement card with the same number. You may even be able to go into the bank and leave with a replacement card. My card was once erased by a magnetic clasp on my purse (don't use that one anymore) and they didn't make me get a new card number.
I'm with Bank of America. Your bank may be different.
Good luck - let us know how it turns out.

If it's strictly a debit card then you should be able to have it replaced at your bank in less than 2 minutes. I have had to replace mine and it was a very simple procedure, they just hand you a new card (after you show identity) and get you to swipe it and enter password (I used same one), confirm password and then leave. New, non-bent card will likely solve the issue as I agree with CCG that if it was the bank then it would be a problem all the time.

Also if they say it will take any amount of time, just withdraw a certain amount of cash to last you til the new card comes (since you'll be at the bank anyways. OR write checks for a day or two..)

Ditto on what the others say, even if they have to sent the new card to you, they won't stop the old one working, they'll just allow both to work for a short while, like when they renew your card.

But I have a question for Citruscity girl... I have a new purse where if you gently squeeze the top edges together they stick, so there's some sort of magnet there. Is that the sort of clasp that wiped your card or something stronger? Because you've made me nervous!

i have a question about potassium.

i want to get more into my body for various reasons. i do eat bananas but frankly after a while, i kinda get sick of the taste.

i don't really want to take a pill because i know i'll forget.

i have looked for recipes for stuff that includes high potassium - i haven't tried any because i don't like trying new things, because i'm scared they won't taste good...so i have done any adventuring as of right now.

i just want to know what some people have done on here to get more potassium and if you have done any recipes (and they taste good) could you send them my way...

tia!

Kitt, it's my understanding any magnet can wipe it out. Also having two cards together with strips can wipe it out (found that out 2 or 3 cards ago) which is why I'm careful to keep them in different pockets.

It's a debit/credit card. I'll try the bank before calling them, cuz that'd be so much simpler just to replace the card.

I'm so bad about cash and checks. We don't like to have much cash around the house, though after the banks computers went down a few years ago for 3 days, we learned how important it was to have some around (enough for gas, a quick trip to the grocery store, or a drs appt.) The only checks I was writing was for the utilities, but these days I've gotten into cashing my paychecks instead of depositing them. Then I go buy groceries and pay whatever utilities are due soon, put a little in savings, and save the rest for the kids lunch money. Much easier, I'm down to writing 1, maybe 2 checks a month.
