We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I will cheerfully advise AGAINST Bank of America for any mortgage-related stuff. They've been a giant pain in our asses twice now.

Well fuck. Jury summons. For the record, I blame you people.

Frankly I wouldn't mind - i believe in the jury system! - except that of course it's the day I'm supposed to fly to Atlanta.

Our wings are not tired.

Dana, my mortgage is currently with Wells, which I think is the evil twin of BoA, right?

I don't know -- for us, it's because they own Merrill Lynch. We had Wells Fargo two houses ago, and I don't remember them being quite so useless as BOA.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You're doing just fine, sarameg.

Wow, -t! LA would be a big move!

I hadn't thought to be scared of jury duty, but I just learned that they can send you anywhere in the county, which includes places you can't really get by public transportation (and an hour+ drive), so that would be fun. I'm annoyed they apparently closed the local courthouse I went when I was in college!

Mazda2. But I haven't driven squat yet. But that's my price range.

My mortgage is still administered by WF (um, I wonder if that changes? I should ask!) and was originally through them, but is actually owned by Freddie Mac now. I hope it stays admin through WF, I get x% or purchases on a credit card applied to my principle (so I use it for spendy things,) and it's been hassle free. But then I don't do anything but pay it.

I don't know if my guy does out of state or not. The phone tag was annoying but as much my fault as his. This is the second time I've used him. I can ask.

brenda, I don't know about your system, but you can get a one time deferral for stuff like that here. I had the exact same thing happen when I was flying the nephew out to my parents.

I've got a plane ticket already, so at least I can back it up.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Well fuck. Jury summons. For the record, I blame you people.

Ahahaha. Jury duty has fallen so far down my list of worries, I almost forgot about it.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

brenda, I pass my not-selected~ma to you.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Last time I was called for jury duty, the first thing they did was ask if people had travel plans for the next I-forget-what-span-of-time already in place, and everyone who did was dismissed.
