Dear So and So

[LBTC]

Dear Bank of America,

When I electronically transfer money from my account to go towards my B of A Visa, I notice it immediately disappears from my checking account but takes 2 effing days to appear on my Visa. WTF do you think you are doing with MY money for 2 days?

Sorry to say, Wahine, but all of the banks do this. And do you know what they are doing with your money? They are investing and making interest on it. The interest they charge us isn't enough! Can you imagine how much they collectively invest every day? And how much interest that gets them? Seriously, if you ever have money to invest, buy bank stocks.

See if you can get a line of credit for your renovations, instead. Credit cards are notorious for calmly explaining...we are not a bank account. We don't treat your money as a deposit on future charges.

Good luck with your renovations!!

Hugs and butterflies,
~T~

Well that's what sorta burns me. When I was in Canada and had an RBC account and an RBC Visa, when I paid my visa it came up as an immediate transfer from one account to another. I don't remember there ever being a delay unless I was paying a bill to someplace outside of my bank.

Thanks for the good wishes on the renos. We're doing a serious reno. Read - we're building a custom house!!

I do not recommend this for the faint of heart. Yikes, I'll be broke before it's all over. But hey, it's going to be on heck of a house. Designed by outdoor enthusiasts for outdoor enthusiasts. We move in late April or early May.

Dear gods of construction,

Please let my house be finished soon. At least let me have a functional laundry room in the next few weeks.

Thanks.

My credit union credits stuff like that immediately. Maybe look into a credit union rather than a bank?

[Wahine]

Thanks for the suggestion Knott. I'll be looking into a bunch of different options once the house is finished and we can settle in.

Dear All of you that helped to ruin my day,

I tried, I really tried to be calm, mature and resonable all day. You win. I give up.

Signed,

I'm so sorry, it sounds like you had a terrible day. I wish I could hand you a tissue through cyberspace.

Thank you so much for caring. Today is a new day and will be much better I'm sure!

Dear virus thingamagigs living in my chestal section,

I would appreciate if you wouldn't decide to lie dormant an hour and a half before I am about to see the doctor. This always happens. I schedule an appointment for the doctor and you magically go away. They must think I'm nuts! I really am coughing up stuff, and it is hard to breath sometimes, and it ALWAYS happens after I start riding outside more than 2 days a week since the beginning of the year.

I would also appreciate it if you would cool it and leave me alone so when I actually get motivated to commute home from work I don't feel wiped out and gross. I reallyreallyreally want to ride for more than a week and a half at a time before having to take a break because I'm sick again.

Thanks a bunch,
Me (the brains of this whole operation)

Maybe you should consider riding your bike along with your doctor? That would keep the nasties at bay.

Dear force in the universe that plays a role in determining my health,

OK, I get it. I need to take care of myself. I need to not smoke, eat right, exercise and think about the level of stress I'm subjected to at work. I need to cut myself a break emotionally and not beat myself up about things that go wrong in my life. I GET IT, OK??? Now can you make my knee (and this sudden weird thing with my foot that's freaking me out) better? I am going to Italy in 7 weeks with my oldest friend, and after 10 years with no substantial vacation, all I want is to stroll around Florence and ride a bike down some Tuscan roads without pain. Is that too much to ask? You have more than amply proven your sense of the absurd by letting me be extremely healthy last year while ex-bf was sick and depressed and I was driving him around and feeding him and wiping his emotional butt so he could get well enough to dump me for his ex-gf, and then a week after he dumped me you put that freaking water on the floor for me to slip on and smash my knee. And then I had the fun of spending the holiday season popping pain pills and sitting in the dark in my house because every light bulb blew out in a one day span, and I couldn't stand up long enough to change them. And then there was the funny thing with you killing my refrigerator 2 days before Xmas so I had no ice for my knee until I got a new one (fridge, not knee) after Xmas (the footwork on the last two items may have been accomplished by one of your associates, but I know you had a hand in it!). Ha ha ha! Very amusing.

I am bowing down to you in all your magnificence, ok? Now please just take the pain away until 6/5, so I can train, go, and have fun?

With great respect,
Amy
