FedEx chain is annoying.

Grapples are weird.

Italian rainbow cookies have in ally been found and procured--in Phoenix of all places! I was worried because they didn't have them in the cookie display, but turns out you have to specially ask for them. Mnmmm. Bought half a pound for a friend and a pound for me (an will share with roomie)

You have to send around a whole FedEx chain and hope it works and gets back to you.

I had to do that recently, for five copies of an agreement. It took like four months. Was ridiculous.

Signing and scanning won't work?

Nope, must be original signature on the piece of paper the bank printed out for me. Wrongly, I might add, but nonetheless, their piece of paper. Whatevs, bank.

eta: Imagine if it had been our former org's board, with the members all over the world, including the guy who lives traditional style in the northern territories. Oh, sure, I'll just courier that over to him. We should be able to get it there when the ice floes melt and his village is accessible again!

Sled dog!

Banks are so much trouble.

t Colbert voice This is what is wrong with America! They're making us blase about the horrible crime of forgery! First in school, where we blithely sign our parents' names, then in government lines, where we pretend we just stepped out and happened to find our spouse so they could sign that form, and now the banks forcing us to impersonate people!

More proof that my dentist is awesome: He just left me a comment in FB that if I need a hole drilled in the tooth that was extracted so I can turn it into a charm, he'll do that for me.

AWESOME.

I know! But I think I'm going to mount it in a locket on a bed of velvet. If I can get it cleaned up to a condition I like. (Part of the reason it cracked was a huge cavity, and I don't exactly want to have that discoloration on display.)

But yes, I am planning on making jewelry out of my tooth.

I love your dentist.
