Yeah, you'd think that the requirements for earning that honor might be a little more stringent than "hasn't antagonized every other government in the world while butchering the English language."

I'm a supporter and all, but he hasn't accomplished enough to earn a supermarket opening yet, much less a Nobel Peace Prize.

The deadline for nominations is Feb. 1, by the way. So he was nominated after 10 1/2 days in office.

WHAT.

Even though I'm planning to spend my newly freed-up cash on a GIANT ROBOT WITH FLAMETHROWER HANDS TO DO MY BIDDING???

Well, since I sorta expect you to send it after Rush and Glen Beck at some point, it seems like a win to me. As well as being supremely cool.

Fair point.

Sophia, I don't think it's your fault that he doesn't keep track of his expenses, nor is it your fault that his CC wasn't charged for three weeks. Can you throw him over to someone in the financial office who does do the batch processes so they can tell him to go away?

I would say a world of no in getting him his money back. Charged later, not earlier? Not your problem. But bosses son is a problem. Can you throw the question over to the boss, let her decide?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I hear you, Teppy -- I only count mortgages in with regular consumer debt for completeness's sake. And consumers are finding out the hard way that houses don't always work as investments, alas.

I expect you'd have mentioned if during the intervening three weeks he kept calling to alert you that you had failed to charge him, no? Yeah, didn't think so.

It's a sucky situation to put someone in, and why if I cash a check more than a week or so after someone gave it to me I'll try to ping them with a heads-up. But end of the day, it's his business to stay on top of.

Our debt is about $600 in medical bills, so I call that a win. Hubby's old student loans got wiped out with the disability, and we paid off the credit cards when we got the lump sum settlement. It's nice not to fear the mailbox anymore.
