I jsut calculated that we are about 14.7% done with this thread. I hope we can beat the old record.

Page 50!!. That means we are 15% done

Response I intended to make last night but couldn't on account of site trouble:

On a different note, just how many lists do you have exactly? (Your little icon of "He who keeps lists and likes to make icons" reminded me of that.)

Too many to count. I've been making lists since I was pretty little, sometimes of the most random things.

But specifically with regards to Simtropolis, let's see, we have:

Most guys just keep a list of the women they've been with.

[Larks2242 251]

1477.

But Duke isn't most guys

[Duke87 1,070]

And yet, I go to the grocery store without making a list first...

[Frdm920 50]

1479

I do that a lot of the time

[astronelson 339]

1480.

I once went to the shops, got there, and realised I had forgotten my debit card. And had no money on me.

[BoserF 1]

1481

So you had to go back home?

[cacks 41]

1482.

I usually don't have my debit card on me - I don't need it for school, just a £10 note is fine

[BoserF 1]

1483

after 1481 it's 1482, cacks

[astronelson 339]

1484.

And after your post you have to wait for two other people to post before posting again when playing forum games (except in trivia games), BoserF.

[Frdm920 50]

1485

I always have my card on me, probably why I spend so much money

I lost my debit card this weekend. That was remarkably careless. I called the bank and found that somebody made a charge on my card. $7.49... that could have been a lot worse!

[nathanthemayor 1,261]

1488

I don't have any debit cards being under 18.....

[Vahr 341]

1489

I only have cash, being my age and all.

[Larks2242 251]

1490.

You can get a credit card, if your parent/person in charge cosigns.

[Chptrk 86]

1491.

I have a debit card. It's linked to my parents account so they can moniter it, and because I'm still in highschool, I don't have to pay any money to have it or something like that.

[Vahr 341]

1492

I don't have a need for one... yet. The closest thing would be my school ID which we use for buying lunch....

[BoserF 1]

1493

@astronelson: yes, i noticed that just after i posted it

i'm also under 18, and i also have a debit card

[Ocram's Razr 964]

I forgot to post on this page. I got into a chemistry class but Calculus is completely full.

[Duke87 1,070]

(1495)

I'm pretty sure you can't have a debit card if you're under 18... at least not in Connecticut. It probably varies from state to state.

[astronelson 339]

1496.

You can in Queensland, but I'm pretty sure you need parental permission to get one.

[Muck308 55]

1497

I use my debit card quite often now that I receive paychecks instead of cash. When I waited tables, my pay was always in cash and my paychecks were ~ $50.00 for two weeks. (Servers tend to make a low wage b/c of the tips they receive. My pay was $2.83/hour.) So nearly all my income was cash and what I needed for spending money just didn't get deposited into the bank. Usually, nearly all of this cash was in the form of one dollar bills, so it resulted in a massive wad. That's why to this day, my cash doesn't go in my wallet. It stays in my pocket next to my wallet. It used to be because it wouldn't fit, now it's because of a habit that i can't break.

[Duke87 1,070]

If you don't mind my asking... what is your job now?

[Ocram's Razr 964]

1499

I second that request. Also, you must live in a low expense (affordable) state because in Washington, the minimum wage is practically $10.

EDIT: After examining his profile futher. He likes Vera Lynn (she was a very good singer), lives in Pennsylvania (I will have to look up minimum wage there but it should be high), and is 30. Something he said is false. I just looked it up and it is $7.25 the only people who could earn a lower amount than that are not officially employed (minors, foreigners, and landscapers).

ETA2: $15 dollars!? Either Australia has high cost of living expenses, high taxes, or San Franciscan economic ideas.

The AUD is currently worth more than the USD$.

3: Nope, Cost of Living is cheaper.

[astronelson 339]

1500.

I'm not sure what the minimum wage is here. I'll have to check, but I'm pretty sure it's higher than $2.83 an hour.

EDIT: Yep, just checked, the minimum wage in Australia is $15 an hour.
