Thanks guys. I wondered why she hadn't called. I guess our mom has been up there since Wednesday.
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
Crap, Aims. All my healing vibes for your sister.

I think I am going to have to switch banks tomorrow. How is it possible to have overdraft fees before something posts? I'm sure this is a new thing. Before, I could match a fee to the overdraft. Now, I have them before the charge even posts to the account.
Good luck finding a bank that does not do this. It is a new policy all banks are adapting. Basically a charge is "pending" even before it posts - meaning they know about it before they go through the accounting process that officially posts it. So if your posted withdrawals plus pending withdrawals exceed your posted deposits - congratulations you are in overdraft.
Ah, you say, put what if I have pending deposits to cover it. You are out of luck: The bank will post your withdrawals before your deposits. Further the amount of time you were overdrawn will not be the one day posting date. It will be the whole time your withdrawals were pending.
Not saying it is fair: but if you find a bank, S&L or credit union that does NOT do this, please let me know.
What you can do is catch your bank manager at a non-prime time. You almost certainly will be able to negotiate a reduction in overdraft fees, just because you went to the trouble of asking.

The tivo people are AFTER me. The price is now down to $598. ARGH, the temptation. I don't NEED a couch, right?

They CAN, but it's lumpy and too small so their feet dangle off and it radiates heat like a bitch.
So your lumbar would be both out of wack and cooked.
But, hey, if you're into that kind of thing...we're not here to judge.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Nor can they record The Office on a couch.
Though it's a good place to sit while you watch the recording.

Thanks for all the info. Wow! That's...really shitty. Are they trying to increase revenue from feeds? Increase the amount of time they have access to funds? Why would anyone in their right minds living paycheck to paycheck open a checking account?
Also, what is non-prime time?
