Bubba seems to have decided he doesn't like me being gone, and he literally tried to trip me and then block the door when I tried to leave the house this morning.
I call that "playing defense". Rosie is very skilled at it.
I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

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

Nathaniel sadly drapes himself across the front door and cries piteously when Matt tries to leave. Jonathan does not seem to understand what is going on . If they could tag team Matt I am certain he would never leave. which might mean less cat food. But cats do not plan for the future.

The status is NOT quo.
I can't check the board or post during that day generally, so I end up doing a lot of skimming at night and often feel like I'm too late for a conversation. Always happy to see how you all are doing, though. I've been on the board for more than eight years now, and it has, quite literally and profoundly, changed my life. Even when I'm busy, I'm always grateful to know I have you all here.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I love the idea of Post More month.
I suppose I could post everything I post to Twitter here. That would up my posting stats, if not necessarily my popularity.

Gah, banks! You suck!
I had a home equity line of credit with my bank, which I was paying off, and last fall I had a bank manager make the HELOC show up on my banking dashboard along with my savings, checking, and credit card accounts. That way I could pay it off by doing a direct transfer rather than setting up bill-pay, which takes longer.
Easy-peasy, right? I sent the final payment in March, this week I got a check for some kind of refund, and then today?
Today I got a dunning letter claiming that the account is past due and they're calling in a collection agency. Somehow the switch over to direct transfer hasn't been recorded and they think I haven't made any payments since last fall.
ARGH.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
and because most of what I have to say when I do have time is the kind of stuff other people are mostly posting on Twitter, so I feel like maybe I shouldn't.
No no, you should post it, especially for people like me who aren't on Twitter.
And Suela, that is so fucking galling. It's like the banks are working their hardest to find new and innovative ways to fuck us over.

Laura's experience suggests this is true.
