I am always a bit suspicious of someone that DOESN'T like animals..

A lot of people don't like animals for a wide range of reasons. That doesn't make them bad persons. Some are allergic, others don't like the smell or don't want to deal with the hassle of having to clean after them or taking them out, etc. I love animals but I know a lot of people who don't and they are wonderful, loving and great people.

Ps. I also met a man who loved his dog and beat his wife. He's in jail now, where he belongs.

I am mad. I had to renew my check cashing card because it got worn out. Well, while it was gone, I accidentally overdrew my checking account. I had the money in savings, but just didn't realize I needed to transfer!! I got 4 NSF fees---$25.00 each. So that's $100.00 gone. I have been with that bank for 10 years, and I asked them to waive the fees. They waived 1 of them. Does it really cost the bank $25.00 to take care of each NSF?? I know it's my fault, but as far as I can remember--that's my first overdraw at that bank.  All 4 of the overdraw amounts were LESS than the $25.00 fee. UGH. I am mad at myself and at my BANK!!!! It's like burning $75.00 which is NO fun.

Then my cousin tells me a while back the same thing happened to him. He went to the bank in person---and the same bank officer waived all 4 of his overdraw fees!!! He was mad because they'd cashed the largest check first, and if they'd cashed all the others first, he would have had only 1 NSF fee. I talked to the bank guy over the phone and he even LECTURED me.

Ugh---probably because I'm a woman and I wasn't adamant. I need to be more forceful, I guess. Shoulda gone in person.  

Now the good. My aunt cooked supper tonight for my cousins and me. She made dressing, chicken and dumplings, corn, green beans with potatoes, tomatoes, and for dessert apple pie and vanilla bean ice cream. Man, it was good ...... and fattening. Home cooked meal---yummy!! Then she gave me some of it to bring home for tomorrow plus a cantaloupe and a watermelon. I'm set. LOL

Shasta, I say good for you for even asking them to waive them.  I've had several more than zero NSFs, and it never occurred to me to do that.  I admire you.

Thanks, Elle. I appreciate that. Man, I try not to overdraw---I hate that money going to nothing for me. LOL. Also---are you ever late on a payment? Most creditors charge $29.00 for a late fee. Well, if you call and ask nicely---they will credit that late fee to your balance (they will forgive once every 6 months usually). I DO get late fees here and there, so I have called and used that little feature several times. One of my credit cards started charging $35.00 late fees and I paid them off and dropped them. That was TOOOO steep, and I am too forgetful sometimes. Haven't been late so much since billing went online--thankful for that.

Go get your money back! Tell them you have been a good customer of the bank for 10 years-I work in a bank (or I did til they kicked me to the curb) and playing the "good customer" card can go a long way.

I don't like rodents at all (in bold, caps, red and 24 font) but I'm sorry you lost them. When we were kids, baby birds would fall out of the nest built in our roof tiles. My sis and I would try to incubate (cook) them and keep them alive. It was always tragic when they didn't survive. We had very elaborate funerals and there are a bizillion birds buried in (now) my brothers back yard.

I leave for Calgary Saturday and OMG is it ever time! Work is about to wear me out. One of the interns left to go back home to Philly today. I love her-even after just 3 weeks and will miss her. My other Philly intern will leave when I'm in Alberta and I will be very (in bold, caps, red and 24 font) sad cuz I love him to pieces. I wish he would stop calling me "ma" though...

My house is a mess, the guest bedroom (which needs to be used in my absence) is littered with mail and other crap, dirty dishes in the sink, cat hair and dust everywhere else (probably in the sink as well) and I am doing what I do best-procrastinate!

Oh well, looks like tomorrow will be a cleaning all-nighter!

Happy Friday loverlies
