I don't know if all businesses have this high speed method of rubber check detection but I can tell you that the farging Food Lion is on top of this shtein.

Yeah, it's pretty common these days. My check floating days were about 20 years ago, and technology has caught up with me. Fortunately so has my paycheck.

I know what ya mean. It's been quite a few years now since I've lived paycheck to paycheck. If I wouldn't have forgot my check card at home I wouldn't even have known that they can process checks that quickly. My card would have been declined and I probably would have just pulled cash out of the ATM instead.

Coincidentally enough, those days of living paycheck to paycheck ended around the same time I booted my wife out and regained control of my checkbook. Odd, isn't it?

Interesting. When most guys boot their wives (or the reverse), they tend to undergo a bankaccount-ectomy. How did you avoid that?

When we were together she was buying herself stuff all the time and spending money foolishly. After we split up and she no longer had access to my paycheck or bank accounts I was able to build up some savings relatively quickly.

Sarge, we received the H.C. 1000 & 2000 back at the warehouse...everything was intact except their dicks were chewed off. We'll be happy to prorate that...but we're not going to cover your orthodontist bill.

Who the hell has time to write out 20-30 checks a month anymore?

I write like two checks a month. One goes to my kid's school (they don't have autopay set up) and the other goes to pay my water bill (again - the city doesn't have computerized accounts receivable yet, go figure). Other than that I pay everything with billpay on the computer or have it drawn automatically.

I just hate Cowboys fans. Every single one of them.

Diomedes · December 15, 2006, 02:03:17 PM

This is the bitching thread. You're looking for the hate thread.

Yes, there is a difference.

DH · December 15, 2006, 02:45:38 PM

No, I'm bitching about how much I hate Cowboy fans.

There's a fly in my living room and it keeps buzzing around my head and tries to land on my eye. What's the deal with that? Do I look like a starving kid in Africa?

Father Demon · December 17, 2006, 01:15:43 PM

Well, you certainly have that bloated stomach part of it down.

Sgt PSN · December 17, 2006, 01:20:32 PM

Yeah, but it's full of alcohol and taco bell. Not twigs and tumbleweed.

who else is sickened by the attention going to these popcicles on mt hood....why is this getting so much attention...these cats....experienced mountaineers made a conscious decision to undertake a dangerous climb...they knew the risks and chose to go anyway...sucks to be them...now shut up about it

and its not just the cable and tv magazine folks who were mostly responsible for the natalie holloway crap.....its been all over NPR every day too....individual tragedies of people who arent famous are not national news.....

Geowhizzer · December 19, 2006, 03:26:02 PM

I could to into a rant about the ridiculousness of round-the-clock news (which is the primary reason stories such as igy's get so much play), but then I'd miss the story about Laura Bush's skin cancer or Brittany Spears' latest boob job.

Modern media sucks.

Diomedes · December 19, 2006, 07:28:20 PM

I'm bitching about the phrase "Katrina victims." Look...they are not victims of a storm. They are victims of a completely failed society and government, from root to fruit, and (a small portion of) the blame for their plight does not spare the victims themselves---it's not like they were doing a damn thing about the government failing them year in and year out.

Katrina was just a storm. The victims suffer from the so-called civilization into which they were born and helped create.

thanks for reading.

I was at Target earlier returning something and I was next in line...when this bitch from behind me decides to step to the side of the customer being helped at the counter. In my head I was like, 'This farging bitch thinks she's going to cut'...but I gave her the benefit of the doubt...thinking she had a 'quick' question. But I looked at her shtein and she had items and a receipt. So, I'm starting to boil thinking of the scene I'm going to make....as time goes by....all three of the register people are being slow...and the line behind me went from no one to 10 in a matter of 2 minutes......fortunately for that bitch old lady....the counter to my left opened up. I looked over at her, gave her a glance and she looked back. She knew. Bitch.
