    Oh yes National City, you WILL be mine. Following up on the post from the other day, here are the updates on my saga with National City. Attempt 7: Going back on what the lady in Attempt 6, I called up what is apparently my “home branch”, which is where I opened the account some…

  • I will not GIVE you the satisfaction

    So a friend of ours was talking to Carolyn the other day. She was telling us a story from a few years ago. Apparently she got upset that she was the only one doing the dishes and that her husband never did them. So one day she decided to go “on strike” (i.e. not wash…

  • A few points to clarify

  • Post Office and Library

    So, one of the things that we’ve been doing off and on is cleaning our basement. Mostly, just de-cluttering all the JUNK that has accumulated there over the past 5 years or so. So one of the things that I found was a package of 24 “aerogrammes”. I had these from my mission – the…

  • Kickball

    Okay, a little late, but I thought it worthwhile to take a bit of time to report on the kickball tournament that I mentioned in my last post. There was some talk going back and forth in the morning about whether or not we were going to play. It had rained the last 2 nights,…
