This is why BANKS were invented, people!
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

The woman said the money had been stashed in a mattress because she had had "traumatic experiences with banks" in the past. She would not elaborate.

I got hit with a phone scam last night. I got a call with a recorded message saying they were from Chase Fraud Operations and they wanted me to confirm that I can written a convince check on my Visa account. They told me to call back (800) 766-4908 with the confirmation number of 0900 by 2:00pm Eastern time tomorrow and to have my account number ready. It was a recording with a female voicemail voice the typical change in voice for variable information like the date and confirmation number.
I didn't catch it at first, but I have a Chase MasterCard, not a Visa, but the even confirmation number seemed fishy. Anyhow I figured I should just call the number on the back of my card rather than one I was given just in case and as a matter of course. It turns out Chase never contacted me, so it was a scam. I think it was a pretty good one though.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
How can someone forget where they put $1M? Baffling.
Gud, does the Cash for CLunkers run for at least a year from now, or does it end at the end of this year? Because if it keeps running, I'll go buy an old $500 clunker, keep it for a year, trade it in for an SUV, then trade the SUV in for a Honda Fit. /scheming

Never mind, Gud, I just went and looked it up for myself. The legislation hasn't passed yet, so I guess it won't run out real soon. And I already own a vehicle that qualifies! Yay.

I don't know for sure how long it will run, It sounds like it will difficult to scheme once it's all done. Really I think the about the only people who will benefit in any numbers will be current owners of drivable beater full size pickups.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Those who make waffles: Emeline LIVES on them in the mornings and I was thinking of making our own and freezing them so I could make them whole grain and good for me, too. Does anyone have a good whole-grain and fruit, good for freezing waffle recipe?

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
This morning's client meeting was the kind I like to have: short, sweet, and ALL good news that makes my (admittedly nightmarishly swamped) job easier.

I feel a bit guilty about the Pop Tart streak the kids are on right now. But I already get up at 5:35am to get in exercise and get them ready for the bus that comes at fucking 7:25am in the morning. It's hard to work myself up to actually make something and field complaints.
