Did you hear about the Georgia woman who had 3 million dollars deducted from her bank account?  Boy, I don't always balance my check book, but that is ridiculous.

Actually, Tom, she had three-HUNDRED-million taken out of her account!!

Did I miss the part where they say how much she had in each account to begin with?  How can they deduct more than she had!?!

They never said how much she had to begin with...but if it's an automatic withdrawal by the bank itself (for instance), it wouldn't matter if she had enough in there or not.  It would just go through as a withdrawal and her account would be overdrawn.

It is so crazy you would think alarms would sound off 

If it's automated, I wouldn't count on it.  There was one time at work when I had accidentally ordered 112, count 'em, 112 copies of a title and all 112 copies were sent...and because we had the vendor preprocess them with our barcodes and property stamps, they COULDN'T be sent back.  It was our (my) mistake.  Fortunately, it was a children's book and every library branch got at least one copy.  The last 80 or so copies were given away as summer reading program prizes.  But we had them hanging around in boxes for several years before someone had the idea for the giveaway.

I can actually understand alarms NOT going off with the book, but all that money-lol

When I worked in a bank after we were married there was a department that called customers when they had an overdraft.  There was a list they worked from each morning that printed out from the day before.

That was "back in the day"...everything was done by real people.

"Back in the day"    Thing is, it seems customer service should improve with the use of computers.

At long last, I am enjoying me some AT LONG LAST LOVE.

[John G.]

That was for you Johnny.... I know how you like it when I talk that way

You know how I like them, Babs. You know how I like them. (A quote from "Pink Flamingos.")

[John G.]

And now to work ...

[Cillaliz]

in the Oh good grief department.  My neighbor stopped and knocked on the door to tell me that there was a raccoon outside my bedroom window.  By knocking on the door right under the raccoon he chased it back into the attic.  He meant well, but sheesh.  I think I heard it leave again, though. I'm hoping it smells the new bait in the traps....fingers crossed

[Cillaliz]

I'm getting really tired of this.  The cats get nervous which makes me nervous and that makes the cats nervous etc.   Last night they woke me up over and over and over.   I really need to catch this raccoon or I'm going to go totally looney

I guess there is no way to set the trap inside the attic?

[vixmom]

The Vixter just came home from work and mentioned that she had not left the mail in her room  and there was a package for me!

[vixmom]

Ginny has lured me over to the pretty side ...

[vixmom]

I now have my own Vera!

[vixmom]

Thank you Ginny!!

[vixmom]

And the Vixter says Thank you for  the notebook

Apparently that doesn't work, not sure why, but pretty consistent that it doesn't.  I did find another possible wildlife removal service when I checked the internet tonight.  I'm going to call them tomorrow and see if they will actually go in the attic and see what's up there.     I think the raccoon is out for the night....so it should be quiet until about 5:00 AM when it comes back.  Unless it's had babies.....

[Cillaliz]

I hate being a basket case

[Cillaliz]

Ricky has finally calmed down.  Boo is on patrol at the window, but calm.  First time since I got home from work

One of my FB friends just posted this recipe and for some reason it made me think that TCB would like it - could be just because of the name....

DR Jane - You asked if I make fruitcake recently. No I cant cook cakes at all.

Do you eat one every Christmas?  My mother even made her own marzipan topping.

On top of the marzipan was the hard frosting that she then topped with Christmas decorations, which I do have.

I try to avoid fruitcake at all costs (unless I know them).  My aunt used to give my mom a fruitcake from this famous company in Texas.  My mom was the only one in the house who would eat it, so it would usually last her most of the year.

[ChasSmith]

Something I don't avoid:  Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups.  In fact, I'm busy not avoiding some right now!!

[vixmom]

BTW not that I am complaining or anything but I am still waiting for my hamburger

[TCB]

DR BK,

Will you be seeing my brother Kevin next week?

I do believe I will be.

Is Kevin back from Europe already?  Didn't he go on to Israel?

[John G.]

I didn't have dinner tonight and I'm beginning to feel it. Too late to eat now, though.

[TCB]

DR TCB VIBES YOUR NEW APARTMENT MANAGER IS NICE!!!

The new manager will be the brother of our current manager.  The one who took care (?) of Nicky while I was gone.

Oh, the one who didn't take care of Nicky

Exactly!
