I'm getting quite good at slight of hand slipping my credit card into my pocket and heading for computer.

Hi mallog

We simply must get you on the entertainment list for next year's beach party for a demo of your credit card manipulations!! Watch out David Copperfield!

Best wishes

Och Jean there's no end to my talents. You know looking into family history can lead to all sorts of interests- history, geography, prestidigitation

What? You mean you don't know all the numbers off by heart yet??
You clearly need more practice!

Long number , wee number on the back and expiry date are etched on my brain - never have to look at the dashed thing! (& I'm not usually very good with numbers either......

)

Mind you, you get some credit for that big word Mallog (not SP credit tho')

prestidigitation \pres-tuh-dij-uh-TAY-shuhn\, noun:
Skill in or performance of tricks; sleight of hand.

Och Lesley

There was me thinking that I was the only one who could remember all the numbers

I got fed up with sneaking the card into the pocket and then returning it at a later date.

Instead I wrote it all down on a piece of paper which I hid under the scanner

Then because I used it so much I threw away the piece of paper and the numbers are now etched in my head

Hi All,
Addicted isn't a word I would use - obsessed is a better one

Do you think it is an age thing? I hit my fifties and became obsessed with where I came from but my 24 year old son doesn't give a monkeys about his rellies

My credit card lives next to the computer.

Hi David:
Thank you, Yes I make sure I get archival quality sleeves, I've been a big fan of creative memories for a few years now!! Ive lost so many great photos to both those horrid old static photo albums and a nasty house fire. The photos and documents Ive managed to collect are too precious!!

Regards,
Karen

Hi Karen,

I've also been using Creative Memories for years now. I was happy when they finally came out with a 14 inch album that was long enough to hold all of my Scottish birth, death and marriage certificates. Most of the American albums are only 8.5 X 11 inches.
