So I'm trying to hang pictures, and I can't get anything to line up, and I can't them to stay level, and I'm ruining my walls and I'm getting very frustrated.
This is one of the pictures I'm trying to hang.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

I wish I could give you some advice Tom, but I can only commiserate. I have so been there and I have the holes in the wall to prove it.

Heh. A little cognitive dissonance, eh?
Since I realized that none of my walls or ceilings are quite at right angles to each other or the ground or in any way straight, my pictures being crooked bothers me a lot less. It still bothers me, but not in a way I feel driven to try to fix.

It looks like the debit charge from last night's restaurant meal went through without the tip. I know I added a tip and put a new total. Has this happened to anyone? Best remedy suggestions?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Megan, apparently it runs without tip first. At least, that's what I was told when I asked here.
I admit, I never went back to check and see if it ran again.

When that has happened to me it has always been corrected without me doing anything in a couple of days (ie, next time I looked, the total included the tip).

Sometimes it'll show up without the tip and then later reset to include it. Some function of the fact that the initial approval is only for the pre-tip amount. I'd give it a few days.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah. I think the initial amount is just the hold they put on your account (because at that point they don't know what the tip is). Then when the actual transaction goes through, the correct amount is debited.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, I should go to the hardware store for stuff to hang some shelves and whatnot. That would be good.
Of course, now I'm weepy because the Criminal Minds I'm watching has the Johnny Cash cover of "Hurt."

Oh, okay, I don't usually use my debit card, but they didn't take Amex. I just don't want anyone to be screwed out of their tip.
