So I'm moving to a new apartment, and to get my mail forwarded, I have to have a credit card that says I am who I am. (and charge me a dollar! damn!). Where's the problem? My credit card isn't linked to my address here in Washington, so everytime I hit submit, I get an error saying that I'm not who I am.

I don't know what the fuck I'm going to do. I sure as hell don't want to drive to my old house and back to pick up my main...

anybody else have internal moving problems?

You have to call the credit card company and get your current address approved for your card. I've had this problem because I have 3 residences (home, university, co-op apartment) and a lot of web places don't take your credit card unless your billing and shipping addresses match.

Sometimes when I eat a lot of food the problem is either my internals move too much or not at all. Either way I spend a lot of time in the bathroom.

I hear prune juice can help but yuck.

Yep.
If you continue to have problems, and the PO is near you, you may consider a POBox. It costs about 15-20$ for 6 months. I have my home one then the POBox for my business. It is kind of nice to be able to keep them seperate.

You need a credit card to get your mail forwarded? When did they start that?

I always just used to go to the post office and fill out one of their forwarding cards to get mail forwarded. It was easy.

Also, if you have a bank (debit) card that has a VISA or other credit company logo on it, then you can use it as a credit card when they ask for one. I've done it when getting a card at Blockbuster.
