You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

See this is why we have his, hers and ours checking accounts. I never balance my checking account but I have to do the household one, which is of the suck. Thankfully, it doesn't have an ATM attached to it and it's used only for utilities, slip fees, and groceries. So it's pretty easy to do but still...yuk!

Now tagless for your comfort.

There are reasons, y'all, why I watch Homicide after family occasions. And laugh and laugh at the old lady screaming "Die, you bastard, die!" as she pushes the old man down the stairs.

Beautiful. I love erika.

This is actually a great idea. Ours is lumped together and difficult to reconcile. But it needs to balance on account of it usually being so close to empty that I take no chances (usually).

We're going out to eat and I feel nauseated. I hate paying for food that I know I'm just going to barf up again later.

Ohhh, yuk I hated those days of pregnancy.

I love splitting out the checking accounts, it works so well for us - there's none of the ATM receipt worries for it.

My town's on Craigslist now. I was just checking it out...not much up there, but there is this from the lost and found: (I'm in Florida)

Please, if you see a Governor walking around town in a mini skirt high heals blond wig sporting an " I am a Whore" sign on his back, please send him back to the Governors house. There is a line of corporate officers looking for TAX Relief or is that just relief. Thanks for your help.

I don't understand checkbook balancing. I mean, when there's two people involved, sure. But for single people? I guess I don't see the point. I keep a sort of running tally in my head, and double check it against the balance every so often. But I'm not going to do more than that.

I'll give that a try, JZ, thanks. The problem is getting her to recognize that I'm not going to engage without having to directly respond to a query about why not, because at that point,

I used to just answer with "that's an idea," or something like that when my mom started getting on something I didn't want to talk about. There's really not much of a comeback to that, because you haven't rejected the idea, but you don't give much of a hook for further discussion, either.

The funny part was, my mom eventually caught on that "that's an idea" meant I had absolutely no intention of following up on whatever she was suggesting - and she was ok with it. It became shorthand for non-confrontational "I don't want to talk about it."

Okay, I'm intrigued (in a disturbing way) to know what's erotic about a female "Chicken Saint." it's possible I may be translating too literally...

"I will worry about you until you're settled down. That is what mothers do."

If empathy makes you feel any better, my mother ocasionally will say things like, "Well, I have to at least hang on until you're married." Please note: Much as I would like to find marital bliss, promising your death is perhaps not the wedding gift I'd like to look forward to.

But it needs to balance on account of it usually being so close to empty that I take no chances (usually).

This is why I tend to balance mine a couple times a week. Online banking is our friend.

Cashmere, I'm so glad all is well. February 11th? Whoot!

I use my bank's website. I check it at least once a day. Because I use my debit card and cash almost exclusively I know exactly what I have.

It also shows outstanding things that haven't cleared just yet and when they will.

I just need to track my cash better. The only thing I'll be using actual checks for is rent and cable (stupid Comcast charges a fee for paying over the phone).
