Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh, that's frustrating, Pix. I mean, I find it frustrating just in terms of bill paying, but for a small business that would be brutal. I hadn't thought it through before.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I have ginger ale and I have pistachio gelato. I wonder what kind of float that would make?

A full week is a lot, even by crappy bank standards. That really sucks, Pix.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Possibly a crazy awesome one?

Our wings are not tired.

I always wonder, in this electronic age, why no one ever has to take extra time to get money *out* of our accounts!!!??

A delicious one.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

In the non-electronic age, deposits were available the next day, so it sort of seems like bank BS.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, that's infuriating, Pix. And, yeah, worse yet, the bigger the check the longer they'll sit on it. But yours sounds especially evil - not that it helps that much when there are lots of bills and payroll and whatnot due, but the bank and credit union Hec and I are with will usually make $75-100 available the second you make the deposit, and then lag a day or so on the remainder. I can't believe you made your deposit Tuesday and they wouldn't even release a token amount until today.

Crazymaking bullshit. And, of course, they don't hesitate to hit you with overdraft fees for the crappy results of their bullshit, and the fees that will just about crush an individual or small business are less than pocket change to the banks.

Compassionately intolerant

Notice the phrase "trying to" above?

One day at a time Sister. Stay strong.

Yeah, PC, it certainly seems like there are a lot of Juicy bums around here. Today's contribution, however, was 'California' on light blue sweats.

This should be a campaign by the Tourism Bureau.

If people are willing to pay top dollar to advertise consumer goods, why not vacation spots?

The status is NOT quo.

JZ, they did release $200 on Tuesday; it's just that that doesn't cut it for payroll and rent purposes. It just brought the account out of the red for a day. Sigh. Anyway, at least the money is there. Or will be eventually.
