[Don't lecture me about going so long without the oil change --I know, I know ...]<BR/><BR/>Except the nice young man mischarged me the first time, so he had to credit my account and recharge me. He was being nice, because he had failed to utilize a coupon I had, for $10 off.<BR/><BR/>Problem: I used my atm card ... on which debits show up about 2 days before credits do --which means my bank account just went into the red by $12.41. It's not really in the red ... it's just virtually in the red. However, it doesn't work to explain that to the bank, which if I don't go deposit some cash today, will probably charge me a $35 ISF fee.<BR/><BR/>If I didn't check my bank balance everyday, my $10 discount could have wound up costing me some big bucks --or lots of additional effort in fixing things with my bank.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10838182.post-1169686067034675192007-01-24T16:47:00.000-08:002007-01-24T16:47:00.000-08:00Maybe now you need to make sure to enjoy these por...Maybe now you need to make sure to enjoy these pork chops in good company, so as to make them worth the $80?<BR/>I assume you can think of someone with whom sharing these pork chops would compensate for the cost?markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07625202087205170829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10838182.post-1169678779206508102007-01-24T14:46:00.000-08:002007-01-24T14:46:00.000-08:00you may want to skip the wine and go straight for ...you may want to skip the wine and go straight for the scotch.LutherPunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09714831474356724194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10838182.post-1169662791045868212007-01-24T10:19:00.000-08:002007-01-24T10:19:00.000-08:00Reminds me of the deal we once got on a ping pong ...Reminds me of the deal we once got on a ping pong table, except that we crashed the car on the way to pick it up...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
