Have faith in your relationship, and don't cheat on him.  Have trust in him and his actions—he will take notice.  Remember that trust and communication are the most essential parts to a healthy relationship.  A lack of trust will most surely bring a relationship to the gutter. Does he make attempts to make you feel better if you are having a bad day? Does he make you happy, or make you laugh? Does he respect you?  If so, you are well on your way to reaching the next step with your boyfriend.

Summary: Give him reason to trust you. Take note of how he treats you.


Some of the most well known sites for generating bingo cards are OSRIC, Print-Bingo, and Bingobaker.  Feel free to use whichever site suits your needs best.  Some sites require you to register to use their tools and others charge a membership fee.  However, there are numerous sites that will allow you to use their bingo card generator for free and without entering any personal information. There are specific generators which specialize in picture bingo cards, while others will only accept words which can be typed in from your keyboard. The first box which will appear on the generator will be something like "Card Title."  Click on the text box and type in the name of your bingo card.  This could be something like "Adam's Bingo Card" or "Volunteer Fire Department Bingo Tournament."  After you type in the name, you will find a box entitled something like "Word List."  Click on the box and type in your list of words/numbers/symbols.  Each of the words/numbers/symbols should be separated by a comma.  The bingo card generator will then randomly assort these items into separate boxes. For example: "bat,bird,turtle,deer,hippo,dog,cat,bear,lion,.....etc."  You can also do the same with numbers (3,5,17,24,56,78,....etc.) and/or symbols ($,&,*,%,@,....etc.). If you wish you can also create combinations of words, numbers and symbols.  For example: "bat,turtle,67,%,&,76,48,#,hippo,tiger,....etc." On many bingo cards there is traditionally a "free space," one where the person playing gets to place a chip down before the game begins.  The bingo card generator will first ask you whether or not you want a free space on your bingo card.  Click on either "Yes" or "No."  The generator will then ask you to fill in the text of the free space.  This could be something simple such as "Free Space" or something more complicated.  You can choose from any number of letters, symbols, and/or numbers found on your keyboard. You will then have to decide where you want the free space to be located.  There are generally two options, either "Center" or "Random."  Most of the time free spaces are placed in the center of a bingo card. Bingo cards are traditionally 5 X 5 blocks.  However, you can increase/decrease these numbers based on the amount of words you have, the type of bingo game you play, etc.  You can even make bingo cards with elongated rectangles rather than the normal squares if you decide to do so.  The generator will ask you to write in the number of squares you want your bingo card to have lengthwise.  Click on the box and insert a number. The generator will ask you to write in the number of squares you want your bingo card to have height-wise.  Click on the box and insert a number. Multiply these numbers together.  You should have the same amount of words (assuming you don't have a free space) as the product of these numbers multiplied together.  If you don't, you will have to either adjust the number of squares on your bingo card, or add/subtract words from your list. The generator will first ask you to write the number of cards you wish to print.  Simply click on the box and insert a number.  Then click on "Generate Bingo Cards."  The generator will link with your printer.  When your computer pulls up your print box, make sure to change the position of your sheets to "Landscape Style."  Since bingo cards get pretty beat up over the course of numerous games, it is best to print the cards out on card stock rather than traditional printer paper. You should also consider getting your cards laminated.  Companies like FedEx and UPS offer pay-for laminating services.  You may also have a local laminator near you.

Summary: Search for an bingo card generator. Determine the type of information you want to place in each bingo square. Type in the name of your card and the words you will use. Decide whether or not you want a free space. Determine the size of your card. Print your bingo cards.


This is as much for your own records as it is for making sure the account is closed. Sending a letter will finalize the closure of your account and give you a legal written and dated record of your action should anything go wrong with the closure of your account. If you really want to guarantee full legality, send the letter by certified mail and hold on to the receipt you will receive upon paying the certified postage.  In your letter, request written confirmation that the account is closed. Make sure to also include your information, like your name, phone number, and address. You may also want to include proof of payment from when you paid off your remaining account balance. Do so by including a cancelled copy of the check.  You can also request that your credit report say that your card was closed "at the consumer's request." This will make the situation clear to future lenders. Make a copy of the letter and keep it in a safe place. By doing so you will have complete and reasonable proof that you closed your credit card account. Also be sure to hold onto the certified mail receipt. This will help prove that the credit card company received your letter. Follow up a few weeks later to make sure that your account is indeed closed. Companies may occasionally make mistakes and fail to close your account. The closing process can take up to a month, so don't worry if it isn't closed after a few weeks. If your account has not been closed after a month, though, it's time to take action.  Once closure is confirmed, cut up your credit card to finalize the closure.  You can check whether or not an account has been closed by obtaining a copy of your credit report. Check your credit report a month after you first called to have your card closed. If the card is still active, it is is time to take further action. First, try calling your credit card company again and writing another letter. Wait for a response. If this fails, you can file a dispute through a credit reporting agency (either Experian, TransUnion, or Equifax). Each agency's website has clear instructions on how to do so. If your account is still open after this, you can file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau at http://www.consumerfinance.gov/Complaint/.
Summary: Write a letter to the credit card company reiterating your intention to close the account. File the letter in your records. Wait a few weeks and then contact your lender to confirm. File a complaint, if necessary.
