Good news, Scrappy!
This [link] has been the excitement in my neighborhood today. At least the helicopter is gone now.
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Hooray for good Scrappy's mom's lung news!
Hey, was it here that we were talking about transferring money internationally? It appears to be super hard to do so from the UK to here. We're trying to figure out how to do so for Tom's mother's house rental income and/or perhaps his share of a potential sale of the house.
First of all, he can't open a bank account there as a non-resident. And if he can find one that's been hanging around for 13 or so years open, we still don't know how to get the money from that account into our US account.

Huh. When I traveled internationally, money got transferred to my US account with no problem. In terms of not being able to open a US account: Is there someone with a US account you know and trust one hell of a lot? Transfer the money to the US account and have the US account buy travelers checks or precharged debit cards made out to you. (The debit cards will cost you a higher percent.) Once you have the account i don't know how to persuade your bank to make the transfer, but it should be doable.

What I just heard my boss say: "Sandra Bullock is going to be here tomorrow from 2:30 to 4."
What she actually said: "Sandra Boynton is going to be here tomorrow from 2:30 to 4."
The funny thing is that I'm probably more interested in/excited about meeting Sandra Boynton than Sandra Bullock. (I mean, really, what would I have to talk about with Sandra Bullock?)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sandra Boynton! That would be fun.
It appears to be super hard to do so from the UK to here.
Yes, I met some nice British people in a bank over the summer who were having all kinds of issues.

Nora, I expect every country is different, but I have never had much of an issue transferring money. When I lived in Brazil, I just wrote a check to a company and they cashed it. Also, companies like Western Union or Moneygram do it often. I have been paid several times by Moneygram when my client's family is overseas.

Nora, I'd think the difficulty might depend on who's transferring the money, etc. Are you anticipating getting it directly from the tenant, or would they give his dad a check and he'd need to send it, or...?

Sandra Boynton is way more fun and of higher interest to me personally than Sandra Bullock.
Holy hell. I'm swamped. Can someone make a temporary clone of me to do all my scut work?
