This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Seconding the CU rec. We have two, one in NC and one in PNW, and we love both.

I said in Natter, but it bears repeating, Maria, good news is awesome!

Yay for getting decent diagnosis and adequate treatment, sj, even if you did have to wrangle office staff to get there.

All best possible healing thoughts to Daniel and coping thoughts to Andi. Also, JZ? This?

Sure hands, wise heads, and healing.

wants to be read, "sure hands, wise heads, can't lose."

Many thanks, again everyone.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Sox, threaten them with filing a complaint to the governing regulatory agency. It's either going to be the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency or the FDIC.

Even though NIHFCU is based in the DC area, there's a network of CU Service Centers (around 4,000 I think) across the country that will allow you to bank in person if necessary. I've never had a lick of trouble with them, and I've been a member since 1993 or '94.

This. I've left voicemails with trigger words. They have until Monday to phone me back, then I'm escalating to the next management level.

OMG Sox.

You may want to go open new accts somewhere tomorrow (are banks open on Saturdays) to prime them for you transferring all your stuff over. It can take a couple of days to get your cards and online access, etc.

It's going to take a bit longer than a weekend, given the shenanigans. I am so pissed, though I'm glad I know what happened, have a name to bandy about as the responsible party, and a good handle on what happened.

Thank goodness for Trader Joes Pirate Booty. It got nommed.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Woo to the hoo, Maria!!

I'm not caught up in Natter, so I don't know what's happening exactly, but GIT 'EM, SOX. And I also love credit unions.

Maria, that is fantastic news!

I'm running a little behind, too, so I know not of Sox trauma, other than to say, GO CUs!

Sox,

I just meant you may want to open up accts in a new place ASAP so you can be ready to bail as soon as you need to.

I'm with Maria about escalating it to a manager, but you might need to write the corporate overlords by the time this is finished.

OCC really helped when a certain person I know had to write them to complain about his mother opening up a credit card in his name, maxing out such card (I don't now know if it was 1 or 2 cards) and then not paying the bill.

Yes. That was a low point in the mother-son relationship.
