Well, you've read the notes, the notes were funny as pavement, and now it is time for you to post until the funny as pavement cows come home.

Today, I'm going to IKEA with my sister and her boyfriend. I don't know what she wants to get, but we'll eat there. It's been a few years since I've been, so I'm looking forward to the meatballs.

Whatever it is, it'll have to be assembled. Unless it's the meatballs.

Good morning, friends.

I really don't understand the TikTok interface. It is just so non-intuitive.

But I finally managed to like the Outside the Box clips.

I do hope that BK can find a way to stream the Sami soundtrack.

I purchased the computer on Wednesday at noon. The debit card went through. I noticed on Thursday that the charge had not yet posted, so I called my bank. They had no record of the charge, so I called the Apple Store and spoke to a nice young lady. She explained the charge would not go through until the computer was ready. So, this morning around 4:15a.m., I got an email from my bank wanting to know if the Apple charge ad several others were mine or was there fraud?

Now, who in the fat hell responds to an email at 4:15a.m? Then along came a second email around 6:30a.m. from my bank wanting me to respond yes ir no to these charges. Apple sent me a email stating they were having a problem with my payment.

This is maybe the fourth time that my goddamned fucking bank has pulled this crap and screwed up an order. I am frankly fed up with it.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #12 on:** July 15, 2023, 04:30:03 AM »

In this case they screwed up around 5-6 orders, the computer purchase and everything after it.

To say Henry Jaglom is as funny as pavement is an insult to pavement.

I got to lounge in bed a little later than usual, which is nice.

This evening I must make an attempt to see my friends’ ADDAMS FAMILY at the local outdoor theeder. I say “attempt” because of this never-ending rain cycle we’re in that stands to shut down a show even if not in the forecasts. But it only plays one more weekend and I have to work other things in, too. So this shall be their one chance to entertain me.

The good news is the situation is resolved after two phone calls:
1. 8:00a.m. phone call to my bank where I cursed the rep in the debit card dept. I think when I slammed the phone down that the situation was resolved in my favor.
2. 9:15 call to the Apple Store on the Upper West Side where I bought the computer. I spoke to a lovely lady named Ruth who ran the debit card again,. and it went through. I then checked my bank balance, all it's verified.

Now the bad new: I can no onger afford to keep my helper. I only have so much ballet money left to cover the electricity bills for the AC and other living expenses for the next couple of months.

Ugh, Elmore. That happened to us recently. Wife paid for something. Bank robocalled to verify but phone service was spotty and she didn’t get the message for a couple hours by which time they’d blocked the purchase. I guess it’s for our protection, but sheesh.

No Henry Jaglom fans here? I’ve never seen anything of his but he was able to make a lot of movies.

Yes, banks do screw up transactions at times. I always have my phone with me, but I keep the volume down. The bank sends an alert at the time of a charge, but I don't hear it and only learn about it hours after transaction.

Thus far, I have managed to salvage all those purchases after-the-fact. The bank is making sure my card hasn't been stolen. BUT I am not always being challenged by the bank when I make a purchase and find some of them are typical for me, rather than something they should find suspicious.

Ah, well.

Good Saturday to one and all.

It's overcast, 83 and thunderstorms "may" occur this afternoon when the heat should reach 91 degrees of temperature and well over 100 in "feels like" terms.
