Oh man! At location where N's soccer camp is, there is a giant sign that says "BEWARE OF WAYWARD BALLS." I need a picture of it desperately.
Maybe the drink could be called a wayward ball?

BoA is the devil.
Not just BoA. I got a home equity line of credit through Citibank for $15K, just enough to do a couple of small projects around the house. Used it, paid it, used a little more, all fine.
And then I had a minor problem with Macy's on a brand-new charge card that resulted in a ding on my credit rating, which I got resolved--it was entirely Macy's fault--but Citibank immediately sent me a notice that my HELOC was cancelled. When I called them, they just said, "Too bad."
So when Citibank customer service called me a couple of months ago, asking how they could help me, I read them the riot act. I can't pull my regular banking from them (it's walking distance from my house, and the only other bank that close is BoA), but I swear I won't get a mortgage from them.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I had two credit cards from different companies that were both bought by BoA. I say that to point out that it was never my intention to be a BoA customer. Back when the credit card companies were faced with the upcoming limits on how much they can gouge their customers, BoA halved my credit line. This dropped my credit rating. Then BoA increased my interest rate because of my credit rating.

Just got home from another Sassafras track, this one less than 24 hours behind her. DH is in NYC, so K sat in the backseat watching DVDs (thanks, Sox!). Until she puked. She apparently has my motion sickness, poor kid.
Now I have to clean up that mess before I can go to bed, but I've been up since 3:30 a.m., and I have to be at work at 8 a.m. tomorrow.
Okay, enough whining. Sass is still out there, K is sleeping sweetly, and the tracking dog had a check up and is cancer free.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Sass is still out there, K is sleeping sweetly, and the tracking dog had a check up and is cancer free.
This is all wonderful news!

Now tagless for your comfort.
You guys are getting closer, Sparky! Sorry about the barf, though.

Our wings are not tired.
Sparky, every day, the first thing I do when I wake up is open b.org and check announcements because I know one day soon it's gonna be "SASS IS HOME"!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
YAY for closer!
Boo for puking though.

I'm in agreement with Perkins -- yay! Closer!
I just finished reading the funniest thing about Picking your battles which is now on my list of funniest things I've read on the internet.
I can't remember what else is on that list though.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
This dropped my credit rating. Then BoA increased my interest rate because of my credit rating.
Okay, this should be flat out illegal to do.
