For a 1st timer, do I need anything else other than the BB account/card and the reload card? The MMS blog that I read shows acc# and pin, however my reload card only has a pin. The part I am missing is the actual reload from the reload card to BB. Is there anything else I need?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. TIA
Acct # = card number.

Cardinal is a fraud detector at a bank or CC company. Taken from the Spanish Inquisition. The names used by AlohaDaveKennedy Fang etc., are from another Monty Python skit named the Spanish Inquisition. I linked to that Monty Python skit because it is my personal favorite.

There's soy ice cream you know (literal ice cream, but the ice cream we speak of does not come in any other variants). Unless we want our ice cream to be soy as well so the vegans can eat it, but my bird devours all in sight .

Better than soy ice cream is the coconut milk ice cream. ^

Why not ask MMS then? If there is a flaw in his step-by-step directions he should fix them otherwise no one is going to know what to do

Oh here we go, another one.. As if Darius didn't write about it in plain text and others didn't re-posted it over and over on their blogs without bird seed crap. Its almost like you people enjoy yourself ant try to outsmart each other with more and more scrabble posts. Why don't you do wheel of fortune style from now on. Say its a "Thing" and write V_ _ _ _ _A instead of vanilla.

If you dont like it, just wait for the bloggers to post it step by step in english so you can understand it. Seems easy enough.

Its been posted on number of blogs already. Thats the whole point.
Its almost as if you people enjoy tossing noobs around with "read post #489", "take a guess". Really, 5th grade level of trolling.

Maybe they will eventually get the point.

Plus when you need to actually read and understand, sometimes it sparks new ideas and methods. I have a few tricks in my arsenal from NOT being spoon fed and actually reading and trying things.

The strangest ice cream I ever had was Yasabi (sp?) flavored ice cream in japan.

Green tea flavored ice cream in the CX NRT lounge was rather interesting.

Stopped at two places in SW Ohio and beans were still available for harvest, though not in full supply. No problems with two @ $500 at one- though mgr did check ID as expected. Apparently there is some limit he had to check on and I was not over it. Just bought one at the second location - cashier checked ID - no problems.
