Not so much a mistake as recklessness... Still intoxicated from the emotional high of the DDS CLE, I took my kids out for our favorite Sunday activity of CVS cruising combined with a Walmart run. Once I got the kids to bed, I started madly scratching off my VRs with a paper clip, and in my exuberance and fervor... sheered the numbers right off!!!
I don't know if I entered the correct numbers or not in the end, but on my third try, the PIN was recognized as something valid and having 500 bucks on it. I took it. Alls well that ends well.
BTW just as a side note, what's up with those ghetto-@ss VRs at Family Dollar? I mean, are they even real or are they grey market knock-offs from China? I haven't seen such quality since I bought my last Gucci track suit at the swap meet. First of all, my kids we're mocking these lame VRs, "They're cardboard! They're not even plastic!" (My kids know what a real "bean" looks like, I assure you. They've gleefully handled stacks of them.) Second of all, on the back, all there is on the card is a UPC symbol floating in the center. No scratch-off! I mean, come on, Family Dollar clientele are the biggest connoisseurs of scratch-off there are, right?
That's my social commentary for tonight. Peace.
