Is that an SPN episode or a TV show I've nver heard of? Seriously, I don't know what Celluloid Closet is.

I bet I can give better value than any one of a dozen of the overpaid consultants the suits have thrown money at over the years."

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why *I'M* the one with the corporate job in our household.

This is why I don't balance my checkbook. Much more relaxing.

I'm an atheist, but I'm seriously considering looking into Zenkittism.

Except that, and I don't know if I told y'all about this, but Mr. Jane deposited our tax refund, oh I guess a couple of weeks ago. Sometime last week I got an email saying we had insufficient funds. I go to look (after nicely asking Mr. Jane if he might have spent $2,000 without telling me) and found they had reversed the deposit. So I call the bank, they couldn't verify Mr. Jane's sig so they mailed it back-regular mail. (Which on it's face is stupid. If you have to be so careful with that money that you don't deposit it into an account with the name of the person on the check because you can't verify the husband-with the same last name- signature, you don't then just drop it in a mailbox). So I called and the teller said when I got the check, take it to a banking center and they would reverse any charges we incurred.

Cut to Wednesday after I've deposited the check, but none of the overdraft charges have been reversed. Not one of the 14 we got since the mess started. CS lady says "Not our fault. Not going to do it." after arguing for 30 minutes, she agrees to 2. NOT. ACCEPTABLE. These are $35 charges on amounts of like $6 and $8. $400+ dollars worth.

Mr. Jane is at my heels begging me to let him talk to them. I say no, as I'm sure my calm but firm manner will work better than his yelling and threats. CS lady gives me her supervisor, and after being on hold for 5 minutes, supervisor gets on the phone and just says, "Yes ma'am we'll reverse those for you."

Now, I have $2,000+ safely in the bank, and my husband thinks I'm a goddess.

Got an email from a friend today after I sent her pics of the Jessica Rabbit dress that said, "Knitting, crocheting, sewing, is there anything you can't do?" And I'm thinking of replying, "No. No there isn't."

Hrm. Okay. Still with the crazy, huh, Plei. IJS.

That's okay, Jilli. It's a bridge that'll eventually need burning anyway. Yes, and I don't let you have flammable things. I clearly suck.

IOartyN, here's a wonderful 2 minutes of YouTube - 200 years of the representation of women in art. [link]

Yes, and I don't let you have flamable things.

Meanie-head.

Hrm. Okay. Still with the crazy, huh, Plei. IJS.

Dude, weren't my subconscious putting those three together in a big old pile of pretty.

Sheeesh. Even I knew what The Celluloid Closet was, and I'm an evangelical Christian, mini-van driving soccer Little League mom.

Of course I know what it is from the Kitten Jihad. Ah fandom, you've broadened my horizons in strange and mysterious ways.

Dude, weren't my subconscious putting those three together in a big old pile of pretty.

Ah, but I think it was. Indirectly.

You were one of the people that gave Jilli the SPN-crazy and that's why she's been watching the shows again this week.

Yup, you're to blame.

Either that, or you've jacked Clovis's mind control satellites.

Here's a good cut for Zen.

That's funny - that's the first one I picked out! It's not hugely different from what I have now, just different enough.

I'm an atheist, but I'm seriously considering looking into Zenkittism.

Ah, my cult begins at last.

my husband thinks I'm a goddess.

Start your own cult! It's the IN thing to do.

And what is Kitten Jihad?

Yup, you're to blame.

Not my fault. All blame goes to that thing Ackles does with his mouth. You know. That one. No, the other one. Or maybe both.

Shut up.
