Ah, that makes more sense. If the original references are not available totally use us. I give good reference.

[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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Fuck cancer, indeed. I'm so sorry, sj.
And I'm thinking good thoughts for the beneficent magic of a game of cards, Laura.
Stabbity stabbity splorch: Hec and I have been keeping very close and diligent tabs on our bank accounts this month, trying to be responsible and attentive and not overdrawn (and also feed our children), and in pursuit of such have been logging on and moving funds around as needed. Which apparently triggered two "excessive transaction" fees of $10 each in the last 24 hours. For once we can spare the $20, but it seriously chaps my ass that we have to.

Banks have caused me more stress than even teens. Evil.

JZ, excessive transactions fees? WTF?

Well, you know, I guess it's really expensive for them to run a website, and if you do more than 10 things online per month you run the risk of making the servers exploderate, which would probably cost them at least $10.
I mean, it's only Wells Fargo; it's not like they can afford something spiffy and ita-designed. I guess our overenthusiastic balance-adjusting was throwing their hamsters off the spinny wheels, or caused them to have to run to the hardware store for another roll of duct tape.

Bleh. I'm sorry you have to deal with Wells Fargo. I wholeheartedly recommend doing one's banking at a credit union, if ever you decide to change banks.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
JZ, call and vent at WF Customer Service. Or, go in tomorrow and talk to a Real Banker (TM). Odds are good they'll refund the fee this once.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I own way too much stuff. I can't even get started packing until I throw away the stuff I don't want, and so far, that's something like five garbage bags full, and there's still a ton of junk left. (Ordinarily I'd try to freecycle the usable stuff, but I really don't have time to deal with that.)
Also, after seven years of having my own kitchen, I'm still stuck in the "What? I have to do the dishes again? But I did the dishes two days ago!" mindset.

Things I accomplished today:
- Going out to lunch with a friend from work (who works totally different days from me, so we never see each other there).
- Walked to farmers' market, shelled out $9, came home with 2 green peppers, a pint of adorable little teeny baby cucumbers (smaller than cherries), 5 Japanese eggplant, 2 slender yellow summer squash, and a kohlrabi.
- Went to the grocery store and acquired some fancy olives from the olive bar, tomatoes, cherries, red bell peppers, some frozen veggies, and a couple chuck eye steaks.
- Scrubbed out the kitchen trash can. The less said about that, the better.
- Brought some laundry in off the line.
- Made a vegetable stew with several of the items listed above.
- Made a southwestern corn salad, omitting green onions because clearly I did not buy enough fresh produce today.
- Made brownies, kinda goofing it up - box mix, instructions call for 1/4 c. water and 1/2 c. oil, but I used 1/2 c. water
- Took a nap.
- Read some.
- Crushed some castles.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I wholeheartedly recommend doing one's banking at a credit union, if ever you decide to change banks.I agree. CU's are so much better. JZ, sorry you two have to go thru this BS. Clearly they want to smack you with a fee somehow. If you were doing the transfers at ATM's, I might understand, unless you were using WF ATM's. But online? @@
I can't even get started packing until I throw away the stuff I don't want, and so far, that's something like five garbage bags full, and there's still a ton of junk left.When I moved to TX, I stopped counting how many bags. Lots of junk. I filled a pick up truck with old equipment, computers, cables. And then anything that wasn't junk, I'd put in the alley by the dumpster. Most of it went within a few hours. As I brought more stuff downstairs, the previous stuff was gone.
