Just checked the mail and guess what I got??? 1 more letter from the HOA to add to the collection. This one is because Troy's blazer hasnt moved in 2 weeks. Guess its time to turn the Blazer around so they can see it has moved.

The HOA **** is very **** about his yard and even the sidewalk. When I back into the drive way I just cant help the fact that my truck is so big and I HAVE to pull up onto his sidewalk and a couple of times into his yard. I hate it when i get the pedals mixed up and hit the gas so I wind up in his yard. Damn women driving big trucks, we cant get the pedals right

My parents lived in an HOA neighborhood, but fortunately they don't change much, and they wouldn't get screwed with anyway. Every house on the street could get egg'd and TP'd on Halloween... theirs wouldn't get touched. Guess it helps to have the worst hoodlums in the neighborhood as your sons.....

Cris - for the HOA ****, maybe you could plug their sprinkler heads... let that lawn get brown, and get EVERY neighbor to file a complaint. They may be on everyone else's butt, but you get 10 people filing complaints on them repeatedly... sheer numbers will win... this could be fun...

toss out your "HOA ****-neutralizer" ideas..... i'm sure this crew could make up some good ones....

After an oil change, keep your old oil, apply a drop or two daily to the drive way...
Most AC units have a little disconnect on the outside of the house, turn it off a couple nights a week. be sure to wear clown suit incase of camera system....
Newer homes have fresh air intakes, it would be a shame is there was something smelly in front of it overnight...
Fishing line and door knockers are fun, unitl you get trafic on the street, may cut your hand...
A large amount of fertilizer will burn a lawn, but the next year will normally grow back greener then anything, be creative...

what is the statue of limitations...i dont want to get into the really fun stuff yet..

AZ has the HUGE NASTY flying cockroaches.... things are FREAKY!!! Catch a couple of them and 'help' them inside the house

i think if we had a sampling of the HOA rules, etc. we could really have fun...

very small, dead fish in the gutter, or dropped in to the bushes out front - hard to find

anonymously post flyers in the neighborhood suggesting not to let your children near that house - they're a little 'too' friendly with children....

Can anyone explain to me how this ebay stuff works? I bought something on ebay for $36 including shipping. The page I placed the bid on had pictures of credit cards and that paypal thing for payment options. Well I won my bid, but when I tried to pay it only gave me the option of using paypal, which I conveniently don't have, and am not interested in getting.

Am I now screwed, or can I ask the seller for his paypal info, then have a friend with paypal send the payment to him without going through ebay? This makes the 2nd thing I've bought on ebay. The last time the guy only lived a couple of hours away so I drove down and paid cash for it, so bear with my ignorance on this.

You should be able to contact the seller if it shows he takes credit cards.

Chris, just go onto paypal, get an account and setup your credit card info. Its actually pretty nifty.

The thing about ebay- its individuals selling to individuals. You don't want just some random person to have access to your credit card information. That's basically what paypal does for you - it keeps the transaction secure and anonymous. It will transfer your money to his account, and will keep all your information secret. It's nothing to fear. It'll take a few minutes to set up, but you'll only have to do it once unless you move or change cards.

Any of your friends having paypal will just basically be paying for this thing via credit card, just like you are looking to do.

Try emailing the seller and see what the seller is willing to do. They might let you have someone else with paypal pay or you could be screwed, sorry.

Some people will take money orders..only problem with that is you have to mail it there, wait for him to get it first before he ships the product out.

Thanks everyone, but I've got a nifty credit card that produces a new number for each online transaction. That number is only good for that transaction and payable to the original seller. This way I never have to worry about stolen credit card info. If they get a hold of the number it comes back declined.

Maybe I've got trust issues, but I don't like the idea of my credit card number or checking account number floating around the Whole Wide Web.
