Everything

Oh my god! Has it really been a month? And what a hellish month has it been! Why is it that when we owe money, businesses demand quick and immediate payment, but when they owe us money, we gotta wait? I had to shell out 1st and last months rent plus an excruciating deposit RIGHT away on my old dung heep, but they get to wait 30 days before returning my deposit!!!!!

I was a naughty girl and bounced a check at Albertson's and they took the $30 fee out of my account, without notifying me, TWICE! Yes, that is $60! Now for their part, I will admit that it was not they who handle bounced checks, but a 3rd party company. Since they took the money out of my account, more checks bounced! Do you think they should pay me back the bank fees? I sure do!

Homeschooling is actually going very well so far. Austin is getting so much better at reading. He can read big words like demonstrated and wastebasket, but small words (sight words) totally confuse him. Plus sometimes he reads way to fast and confuses the words, or even starts making stuff up! He is only ten.

Speaking of ten, he just had a birthday and with his b-day money he bought the expansion to roller coaster tycoon 3, Soaked. Now he can make water rides! My grandma had missed Tessa's birthday in June so she sent them both some money. Do you know what Tess bought? A My Scene Barbie Doll that has removable heads!!! It came with 3 heads! Can you believe it? I looked it up, it is called My Scene Swappin' Styles Madison. She doesn't go for blond bombshell barbie, she likes the girls with dark skin and hair.

I have a new corpse up, mine is the last panel entitled "Self portrait." I have been selected to participate in a new one and I am working on it!

Chantz got job, but I ain't telling where yet...

That's why we no longer use checks. It's all cards, baby!

Ok, Fred, so what do you pay the cards with?

Did you know a debit card can bounce?

Did you know the stupid credit union only uploads deposits to debit cards at night causing them to be declined if you try to use it?

Why use a night deposit then!

LOL - I dont know that stuff!

Lucky me, I pay off all the cards in full every month. If I can't afford it, I don't buy it.
