Topic Wiki

This is the thread where you can ask any random question you have. Feel free to ask even the most basic questions that you otherwise might be embarrassed to ask. This is the thread for beginners, so veterans here will treat you nicely. Ask a beginner's Q in some other threads and no guarantee of that same treatment. ;)
People here want to help, so just have some patience, follow the tips below and hopefully someone will help you when they have a chance.

If you looking for a particular thread you once saw and can't find it, this is not the place to ask. Check out Help Me Find It and ask there.

How to ask a question in this thread:
Click the blue reply button at the top or bottom of the page, type your question, and click post!

Some helpful tips for eliciting answers from other members:
- Keep your question short and precise. No one wants to read a megillah.
- The more questions you ask in one post, the less likely any will be answered. People are willing to answer a question or two, but if you ask all the questions that apply to your particular issue, you're expecting to be spoonfed. Members don't like holding out the spoon, so ask accordingly.

BUMP - anybody else have any suggestions?
Hey all,
I've been out of play for a while and even before I was never a registered user on this site I really just followed stuff on the main site. Vanilla Reloads were still plentiful and the popular item when I was last involved. So if you can give me any tips on where to start picking up the pieces from at this point it would be greatly appreciated.

May go with the family to Canada from US. Everyone over 18 has a US passport. But I have a 16 yr old that would just have a US birth certificate, as well as some younger siblings. Will it be an issue returning to US?

24 hours
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Thanks guys. This is my first time home since S & S's new policy. Until now CVS was unchartered waters for me.

He is 16. According to the 'T&C', he needs photo ID, unless he's on an organized school trip. But since we're dealing with border control, and not amex, I need to know what will work. If I have a van full of kids, and i give them two passports, as well as a stack of BC, will they realize that one of the kids is 16.

YMMV, some are real nice others are cruel...

Look in the serve and money order threads. Or sell it in goods for sale for a discount.
