I am sure after I calm down I will reconsider but right now I am livid. I must be radiating anger because Panzer won't even come near me and she always curls up in my lap while I have my coffee in the morning, especially when it is cold like it is now. I just pray nobody jacks with me today

UPS did this to us far too many times. After dealing with debt collections services for debts not owed, and after proving it, they still won't call the debt collection service off... We now ONLY ship UPS if the customer is paying for it, and it goes on their account #, otherwise, not uh. Frusterating it is.

I refinanced with another bank because Wells Fargo kept calling that I was late with payments that weren't and billing me for the late fees. I even tried setting up auto withdraw and they still f'ed it up and billed me for the late fees.

Still pissed about the Texas Ticket thing. Costed me double what it should have if I had actually been going 93 mph, but at least it is not on my driving record.

Oh yeah, a couple of months ago the Credit Union I'm with called and said I was late with a payment on my card. I told them I didn't understand, it's a freakin DEBIT CARD!. They were very apologetic and said it would be taken care of. Haven't heard back or found anything different on my statements. Maybe it was a scammer trying to get numbers from me, I didn't give any nor did they ask.

Good morning folks.

I recently dumped my regular land line and replaced it with a OOMA phone. One of the cool features is any phone call I get from politicians or telemarketers I can go in and just block. They will never call again. I had three blocked calls yesterday.

Since it is a new toy I like go to the web site and check all of my calls. It shows the phone number and labels them as missed calls. I get peace and quiet and my phone functions just fine. I can block all the charity calls begging for my donations, but mostly with the election in full swing to block the political calls is wonderful. And my phone bill is now a grand total of $3.75 per month and all of that is taxes.

I did get one call yesterday from the bank our club uses for the local Porsche club. I am the treasurer of the club and I made a deposit in the night drop yesterday. When the bank called I figured I had somehow made a mistake on the deposit. I called them back and they wanted to offer me a home equity loan! WFT, I have never dealt with them for anything except the club business, and they want to loan me money. I was not friendly at all but I did refrain from yelling or cussing. If I ever decide I need to take on some debt for whatever reason it will not be at a bank, it will be at my credit union.

public sale of my dad's house at 16h00
think i'll just pop buy and see how that goes..

his primary debt is 600K, excluding late interest, cost for the bailiff.
and then there is some other debt

on the other hand, there is no other property anywhere near like it.. 2 hectares, isolated, protected from any kind of industrial or housing development...


and dammit, had a cold hit my back , just below my shoulderblade
hurts like a mofo

goodness gracious... a lot of stuff happening to you guys.

Rick, that sucks monkey balls. Good thing you have all that proof against them. Yes, going to stay on your good side today. How about cute redhead twin lesbians? And the money for your Boxster will cheer you up.

Stijn, hope all goes well with the sale of your dad's house. Sounds unique for sure...

Ok, Max. Again, I am only going to say this once. I agree with Richard. Remember what I said before? If you don't have any deliverable, don't come back. If you have some type of action that we can then sit down and analyze, then fine. But OMG, Max! You know why you haven't found a girl? Because all you do is think about finding a girl. You ain't gonna buy a new car by just thinking about it. You actually have to go out there and try it. Drive some that you thought you might have liked and find out that you hate it. Drive some that you think are gonna drive like crap but end up driving pretty smooth and save on gas to boot. Drive some you think are damn sexy and find out that they break at the drop of a hat and all the looks aren't worth the time or money.

Max, you are a sweet, smart, funny, cute man. Don't let that go to waste by just thinking about all the women out there that you COULD get to know. Because you aren't going to get to know ANY of them if you spend all this time talking to us instead of just doing it. Stop putting so much pressure on yourself.

And that is all I am going to say about it. I love you, honey but seriously, you need to come back and talk about something you DID as opposed to about something you THINK about doing. Geez. I am a girl and love to think in circles but even I am getting tired of your circular thinking. I can only imagine what the guys are thinking. We only want to help you but you can only say the same thing so many times, honey. Besides, women like go-getters. It isn't attractive to be the type of guy that is all talk and no do. Get it?

And btw, yeah, all of us Asians look alike. If you think I look cute, close your eyes and pick any Asian woman, it'll be the same. Or at least close.

"EVEN TWEEZE?..." and we all look similar? Goodness gracious. Thanks for the beauty contest votes, Sidney and Max but those aren't exactly glowing compliments.

But thanks anyway. All you know of me are a handful pictures on the internet and posts in this forum, which is really a shame. I think I am much more enjoyable in person. Well, Sidney, you just got a taste when you had breakfast with me. But I was on good behavior, your father was there. I do just fine, boys. You don't see me here asking advice on how to meet men, do you? I think the only time I asked for advice on men was when I asked about the friend zone but in the end, didn't give a crap about the guy because it isn't worth putting a lot of effort into it if he wasn't into it. A lot more fish in the sea. Still hang out with him though but no big deal. See Max? Don't take things so seriously. You can end up with a lot of girl friends that can help you meet more girls...

LOL, tweezers! Yeah, there are a lot of nice looking Asian girls, and they can be a lot of fun to be around. Max, even if you just add to your friend zone, it's all good. My wife was and still is my best friend. She's that much fun to be around. She's the kind of girl that'll enjoy a 6000 mile road trip in an early 911 (73E) with no AC, loud sport exhaust, and packed full of stuff for the trip.




BTW, blondes w/ blue eyes aren't nearly as fun, or they are completely BSC.

You really should have stayed, milled around amongst the potential buyers, and wondered out loud about whether it's true what they say about the body (or bodies) buried in the yard.

I know. I was kidding. Although my sisters and I look a lot a like in different ways but our personalities are totally different. Just razzing Max for his statement that those two Asian girls look the same.

And can you repost that info on the links? I am too lazy to look back.

Could the good Doctor Fluffer or Tweezers answer my questions
re cystoscopy? It would somewhat relieve my concern as to what to expect next month.I posted it as a new thread. Thanks in advance!I notice Tweez you had a career move. Perhaps you became a vet. In which case I would still qualify as I am part man, part beast!

A little teasing, tweeze. Seriously, WTF was Sid thinking? Doesn't he want to live to see his 22nd B-day? And Max with his all Asians look alike 'tude.

LOL! I didn't change professions, just not a bedside nurse anymore. I hate to say it but you get burnt out and mentally/emotionally exhausted in oncology. And right now, want to use my MBA and make some money. Nursing ain't gonna make you a lot of money. I am going back to nursing when I am older. Just work for a medical device company.

And I will take a look at your new thread.

But for right now, I need to get this tush on a treadmill. Later fellas...

And David! Send me a message on FB on those links. So I can save it! Thanks. Really want to hear some of those songs!
