Do you find that most online vendors accept the disposables? Occasionally, I have problems because my credit cards, for obvious reasons, are from Puerto Rican banks. Most vendors have no problem doing business with someone in Puerto Rico, but once in a while (fortunately, it's not very often) the payment processing services that a vendor uses won't accept cards from Puerto Rico because they consider it international (Puerto Rico is NOT international, it's part of the U.S.). This can get very frustrating, and I've wondered if getting a disposable card might solve the problem.
Sorry, long explanation for a simple question. . .
I use them with paypal for overseas. There is a prepaid card option. No problems so far 
I have not been on much due to the fact my husband is dealing with kidney stones. Apparently one is about the size of a micro sd card and it is lodged somewhere. ( 8x5 mm) I think is what the doc said. So in the morning they are going to try blasting it into smaller pieces. Then he has another one still in the kidney that is a little bit smaller. He is in so much pain right now. I feel so bad for him. The last time they blasted stones they went back up and caused him even more pain and they put ( I think they call it a stint ) in for 10 days and THAT was miserable for him. I hope that does not happen this time. Anyway, if I am not around much or at all for a few days that is why.
How awful, Deb! I've heard that there is basically nothing in the world more painful than kidney stones, and your hubby's sound worse than they usually are. (By the way, it was probably a "stent"--I had one put in one of the arteries in my heart when I had my heart attack in September.)
Positive thoughts to both of you.
aaah ya that's it a stent. Yes he really suffers with them. He takes flowmax when he starts to feel them come up as that helps to relax the tube. But it did not help this time. I have to get ready here in a few min to take him in. Thanks for the good thoughts I will pass them along to him.
Ok... so uhh.... how do I keep lip gunk from accumulating on my drip tips?
So gross. Especially after eating Cheetos!
Mmmmm!!! Processed cheese dust goodness!

Not touching the kidney stone issue, painful memories. Good luck with that, it used to kill people regularly before medicine and surgery advanced to where it is now. Terrible way to go, one reason to appreciate doctors.
JK, it happens. I would send you my USC for free, but the shipping on it would cost close to what I paid for the POShinola. I keep 91% alcohol in a tiny juice sample bottle with my "stash" for cleaning such items, labeled very clearly. When on the go, I bring a clearo (Protank) in a small ziplock with a paper towel and a few q-tips. Having been stuck unprepared a few times taught me valuable lessons.
EEEEEWW!

You count your blessings I didn't post a picture of my cheeto tinged lip gunk!
I clean those things at least every other day... if not everyday... but man... some days...

is right!EEEEEWW!
admittedly, i too suffer from this 1stworldproblem.
i find myself scraping driptips with my finger nail on occasion. the SS doesnt collect nearly as much as some of the hard plastic ones, or that textured plated material on cheaper metal driptips that CHIPS OFF ON YOUR LIPS!
best way to battle lipstuffs!?
but a crap-ton of drip tips, and replace every morning. or if your rich/like, replace after every meal. or if your 1%rich/like, after every POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFF

Heh I use pipe cleaners to clean the inside of my drip tips, outsides I use a cloth for sunglasses with a touch of PGA.
Fortunately I have never had a kidney stone, probably due to the amount of water that I drink daily. Either with water they are not "made" or I pass them while they are super tiny. I hear that is the closest pain a man can have that will resemble the pain a woman can have while giving birth. Sounds horrible.
tig- my Pilonidal Cyst was told to me that was about the same pain every time I had to do the packing, and the second surgery was horrid. I still remember to this day the doc explaining to my X and me how I had to ensure the packing went around my tail bone, as he tapped it with his finger. That sensation was horrid even when all loaded up on pain meds.
That one took 3 months to heal, and my back at times is worse to the point of being disabled and debilitating at times. The wife has had kidney stones and she said it was worse than birth, I tend to agree with her there.

Yes I hear it is worse than childbirth. He is actually doing fairly well. They did put a Stent in as he has a stricture. The meds the doc gave him are keeping his pain level tolerable for now. The stent needs to stay in for 3 weeks. This is his 5th time in about 5 years. They are the calcium type. He drinks tons of water, bottled and filtered. Doc said he needs to lose weight and stop eating so much red meat. I have nagged him as much as I dare. He is a big boy and he has to make the decision himself that his health is important and he should make some lifestyle changes.
Why is it all Feds, Cops, Soldiers, etc etc think they are so dang invincible. The man still jumps at the chance to go kick doors in and screw his gun into some deserving scum bags ear. I bet he will be this way till the day he dies. Sigh.............
But he is a good guy and I am proud of what he does. Thank you again for the well wishes. Both of us appreciate them very much.

To be "fair", I've passed my share of stones. Blood, pain, trauma... enough said.
Sorry, I'm not trying to poke fun. Consider this a palette cleanser of sorts.
Ugh. And I just made more chili...
