it is true. People get dumber every year. Just went to the bank to pay on a credit line. Teller tells me i didnt have one she didnt see it in the system. Gives me one of my kids savings account numbers.." uhhhhhh no....That is my kids savings account" Called over the manager told the manager i didnt feel safe giving this girl money and to stay during the transaction. Manager shows her the line of credit in the system and explains to her what it is. Then tells me the woman is fine she just didnt know what it was. i told the manager "exactly. she works in a bank and doesnt know what a credit line is. That not only makes me nervous giving her money it scares the **** out of me"

Well, I'm about to wrap up another work day here--headed to church for supper, then choir practice, so won't be home for several hours yet.

Since I live alone now, I'm hoping that at least when I get home, there will BE a home there…unlike THIS GUY's wife experienced. :biglaugh:

Are you kiddin' me???!?!?! Not only did the guy not check with any officials (gas, utilities, etc), he also didn't bother to pack first, just tore it down!
He told police he did it because "it had a bad foundation."

We had the same problem last year and new plugs fixed it; I'm hoping it's fairly simple.

if you are changin plugs every year something is up. Let me know how you make out i am curious. Hopefully nothing major.

OEM spec is 100k miles for plugs, which was very close to when we had the problem the first time. This time, the #7 plug was apparently bad, and they changed the plug wire harness (not available as a single wire). They also found low compression; so far we had a hairline crack in a valve spring. They were checking the rings this evening when I talked to them.

Went to Catonsville this morning (a bit west of Baltimore) to the USGS water quality facility (MD, DE, DC) for a state geographic group meeting. Two inches of snow on the grass and vehicles when I left; streets were just wet. :allteeth:

Morning all, Keurig Coffee today (Newmans Own), and instant oatmeal.

Just feeling lazy, instant stuff is easy.

Oh, except I feel like crap today too. Got my Jesus headache. (Comes on one evening and sends spikes through my brain until it lifts on the afternoon of the third day.) Left side of my head is pounding. Seems to have gotten a bit to my stomach today.

Well, Buzz did just patch up the pinhole leaks in the bellows of my Land Camera. And I DID just get a close-up lens kit for it...

Or I can just develop my damn film already

Have to go into work for readings this afternoon, and then I have to go make hell in the registrar's office or counselor's office or whatever for still not awarding me my paralegal certificate. I found out yesterday that one of my classes is not being credited to the certificate requirements so they are saying I have to take one more class. I will be telling them a very emphatic hellz no.

Can we get tickets, or is it a 'first come, first seated' event?

If you can get to suburban NY in the next few hours, you're welcome to come with and watch

It will probably be very entertaining. I'm quite mild-mannered and polite - sometimes to a fault - but when it's time to blow, the New York comes out full force. You should have been there in college in Florida when I had to sort out a similar mess with the very Southern staff of the UFlorida College of Liberal Arts and Sciences

requirements are a good thing. They set standards of accreditation which makes your certificate worth something.
