[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Gud, it could be the sign of massive pending surprise party hijinks!

Or not. Given that this is not TV-and-movie-world, most likely not. But if it were, there would be an embarrassing misunderstanding, and someone would probably show up at the party with a male stripper and three pounds of powdered sugar.

In any case, I'm very sorry. Um, and happy birthday?

Anne, what -t said. It's good to let them know you are willing to take a finite position, but they don't need to know that you are seeking one. And thanks again for the help!

Annnd, mine's sent. Now it's time to play the waiting game.

The waiting game sucks! Let's play Hungry Hungry Hippos!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

signed, has been through this before and didn't get one red cent back because Federal Law hasn't caught up with the effing internets.

OFAC and the USA PATRIOT Act also have a provision that banks must check out any suspicious activity, and excessive transferring between accounts is one of the big red flags. Nevermind that it's between well-established accounts, it still has to be checked out. So, naturally, the banks are passing the cost on to the customer as well as penalizing said customer in a bid to avert further transferring.

Signed, just went through KYC/OFAC/BSA training.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

HATE BANKS WANT TO GO BACK TO ONLY DEALING IN CASH.

What is even happening?

HATE BANKS WANT TO GO BACK TO ONLY DEALING IN CASH.
I'm with ya, sister. I'm ready to make up a fake bank card, and attach a sticky to it, that has a fake password on it, so when the thieves break in, they'll take it, and not check under the mattress, where I will keep all my real money. The whole three dollars. I'm reckless.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I did the cash only thing for about a year when I first moved to New Orleans. On the one hand, sticking to a budget was easy. On the other, had to buy a lot of money orders and instant gratification was pretty much nonexistent.

Speaking of babies, has anyone seen the baby name wizard? [link] It shows how popular names have been over the past 100 years. Kind of addictive.

Now tagless for your comfort.

meaning at the ATM or in person at the bank, anything over 6 transactions gets charged.

Bleh. Also, is that per MONTH? or some vague timeframe? Because at least if the month turns over tomorrow I can make more transfers without the extra $5 added (and I really need that extra $5 until the 8th).

OFAC and the USA PATRIOT Act also have a provision that banks must check out any suspicious activity, and excessive transferring between accounts is one of the big red flags.

Oh, yeah, I'm sending my $11.07 to the terrorists. *sigh*

Lovely day indicates a trip to the park today. No matter how dumpy I look in shorts.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Bleh. Also, is that per MONTH? or some vague timeframe?

Cashmere, is that a money market account? Those are limited to 6 transactions per month/statement cycle, of which no more than 3 can be checks (in-person and ATM transactions don't count toward the 6). The bank has to take steps to make sure there aren't more than 6 transactions per month, usually by sending you a nastygram or not completing transactions if you go over the limit. And if you repeatedly go over the limit, the bank has to convert the account to a transaction account (i.e., checking account).

It's a complicated mess that is related to reserves that commercial banks have to hold against their deposits -- but I won't bore you with further discussion of that.
