Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Can you think of any number sentence with the answer '42', kids?
Would the kid who answered "What is the answer to life, the universe and everything?" get a gold star?
I love hearing about your kids, Fay. You could fill the thread with stories and I would be happy as a clam.
Sean, I wish there was anything I could say. Going way back, the fact that you are a loving and giving person means you will not be single forever and that some woman is going to be very lucky. You're just on a very rocky and painful detour.
Fay, I love your student stories too, keep telling them.
Gronk. I upped the dose of my meds, and now the feeling of being overheated is back and I couldn't sleep last night. I never used to get side effects from upping a dose of a med. Is this a getting older thing? Either way, I don't like it.
Sean, people here are very wise. I'm sure it's difficult to take the advice to take time for yourself when S might seem to be the one more in need of your time, but I hope you know that no one here would advise you to work against the interest of S; we just want you to care for yourself as well.
Keep up the stories, Fay!
Why must doctor's offices insist on asking my insurance carrier before my name? I keep thinking I should have a pithy reply to this that shows how dehumanizing it is, but end up just bleating out the information as asked.
I bank at Wachovia ... from what I've read it sounds like CityBank just bought them. Do I still have any money?
Do I still have any money?
Yes. Assuming you had any before. None of these takeovers and buyouts and the rest touch normal individual accounts at all, because they're federally insured. All the mess is on the investment banking (i.e. stockbrokers and mergers and such) side of things.
(Sadly, this also means that I still have to send my next credit card payment to JPWaMuChase.)
I'd imagine that from your end, it will probably look just the same for a long time, Todd. One thing that consumer advocate Clark Howard is recommending related to the bank mergers/failures is that you get paper copies of anything you do with banks on line, since the merging of two systems is a prime time to have things get screwed up.
Years ago, when our mortgage company failed and its assets were transfered, they put my husband's on the mortgage and left off mine. After the divorce, I had to go through the tortures of the damned to prove that I'd been paying a mortgage when I went to buy another house.

Oh, that's good to know. I do all my banking w/ Wachovia and they hold my mortgage.
If I recall correctly, Kerfuffle Bunny should return today, no?
:: eagerly awaits arrival... wishes this week work was spent sitting at computer so I could check it before 9pm ::
Okay, so the department upstairs is having an event. They don't have enough space for it, so they decide to set up lunch in the fucking lobby of my building. The buffet line is RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY GODDAMNED DOOR. As a matter of fact, they were going to BLOCK my door with a table before I stopped that. This is fucking ridiculous. Their response "it's only for an hour". How rude is that? And on top it, they didn't even have the courtesy/sense/decency to invite me to have some lunch.
If that had been me, I would have come into the office and said "I'm in a bind, can you help? Would you mind if we used the lobby? And please feel free to have some lunch, it's the least we can do for the inconvenience" TACKY. Of course, I know her boss, and just ratted her ass out.
