DIS Dads DDC XVIII - Spring Fever!

[baseballmickey]

Why does this never happen you deposit a cheque...

Yeah, why is that??

Actually, we had a guy working in our warehouse a few years back that deposited a cheque for $1000 (or so), and it showed up in his account for $1,000,000. He told everyone he won the lottery. It even got back to upper management who called him up to the office. He came clean to them.

that's what happens if you don't keep your mouth shut.

I know you'll kep watching it. I had a friend that had something similar happen. More debits posted the next day while he was 'waiting' on the bank to refund their error. Initially, they tried to deny replacing those fees as well.

don't even get me started about banks.

Anyone else notice that most all sport games now have info tickers on the top and bottom? Not sure if it helps or distracts from the game.

the age of information overload.

Anyone else going to see the new three stooges movie?

I'll watch it when it comes to netflix, or cable.

Not my intent that time, just trying to catch up to Brian.

Aren't we all?

Looking forward to the day off tomorrow. Supposed to rain, but we've been promising DD we'd shop for plants and flowers for the garden, so maybe we can get that done.

Tried to purchase more gift cards to pay for the trip and ran into a snag. It seems my flashy new Target debit card came with a purchase limit. So my $1500 purchase was declined. I asked the target employees if there was a limit, and they told me it was probably my bank, so that's who i called first. The rep from the bank couldn't comprehend the fact that I wasn't talking about my bank debit card. He kept saying, "i'm sorry sir, but there's no possible way that another business could have a debit card linked to your account." I did one of those slow-talk things where you stretch out the words and tried to make him understand, but nope. Eventually I did get him to tell me he was almost pretty sure that it wasn't the bank declining the transaction. So, from inside a Target, and surrounded by Target employees, I called Target customer service for help...

Turns out there is a limit placed on Target Debit cards. Apparently, it's a top secret limit too! They can't tell you what your limit is. And neither can they waive it. I said to the guy, "You do realize that I'm standing in your store right now trying to purchase $1500 worth of merchandise, and you are not letting me?" So now I had to play, "Guess Your Limit". I kept cutting the stack of gift cards in half until I finally got the transaction to go through. I was down to $250. ugh. So... that means more trips to Target.

got some more cleaning done in the yard, but still a ways to go. work was okay.

Oh, and I almost forgot... today ended week 3 of my quest to lose weight and I am down 4 lbs this week!! 232!! Lost 8lbs in 3 weeks! This calorie-counting app is working!! Next up in the quest is to start selecting better foods to eat, not just managing the calories, and of course, trying to get into an exercise routine of some sort.

On that note, it's time for bed!!

good night all!

Morning Duck,

Woke up a while ago. Couldn't sleep. My focus today is to head to Publix for snacks and hopefully watch the Gators beat the Cardinals this afternoon. Have ribs left over from last night that will be also munched on. Lazy day today.

Hope everyone has a good one.

 

[carlnix30]

Is that the native american loan company??

Yep! I thought they stole our money through the casino's!

You know we don't really need the same finger print... we can just cut off your finger.



Just sayin'....

i bet someone has tried it.

You can all thank me for the NC win tonight!!! As soon as I turned in to watch Ohio hopefully win they started losing! You're welcome if I saved your bracket tongiht!!!

Shari got on line today to make sure our check went into the bank and it said...insufficient funds...upon further investigation a check that she had written to a nursing organization for 48.04 actually went through as 4800.04 Now, the check to play for the new heat pump bounced!! Oh I would not haved wanted to be the person on the other end of the phone that she got ahold of... I get a fly would not have landed on them when she was done!! Don't mess with a country girl and her money!

looong ago that happened to me. the bank said i messed up my check book. at the time, the bank sent you your cancelled checks back. the bank said i messed up adding or subtracting. someone told me to look under my sig. on the cancelled check and make sure the number matches the amount the check was for. bingo!! they added a zero at the end. biigest prob. was one of the checks that bounced was for a roll of stamps at the post office. give that a try sometime if your looking for a fight.
im glad it worked out for you steve.

 

[dvczerfs]

Alright.. I am brave enough!! Send me your AP along with your finger.. I will let you guys know how it goes!

 

[AirGoofy]

but I honestly don't know what the people in KY do besides watch college basketball. .

I guess the obvious answers of running moonshine and marrying your cousin are available.

I'll watch it when it comes to netflix, or cable.

Me too. I thught the stooges were great and this movie preview looks good, but I'll probably wait to redbox.

It may be 50 degrees right now and forecast for t-storms all day, but after that game, all is perfect in Ky.

hopefully watch the Gators beat the Cardinals this afternoon. one.

Want to go double or nothing? It's not UK but at least a KY school. If UL wins, when we ever meet you owe me two beers. If Fl wins, then nothing. I like playing with house money.

i figure with norm doing some post padding last night, i better get on the ball around here.

What? Who is #2 in all time posts right next to King Stopher? You would have to not post in 5 or 6 threads just for me to be close to tying you.

Saturday morning ownage.

Alright.. I am brave enough!! Send me your AP along with your finger.. I will let you guys know how it goes!

You could just use a piece of scotch tape like Jason Bourne.

 

[DisDadDoc]

Yikes. Hopefully, the bank won't give you any grief about overdraft fees since it was clearly their fault.

What's the odds of that? Good luck, Steve. That stinks. I've been there. They make the mistake and then it's your fault sometime

Happened to me at WDW (even more embarrassing while trying to buy dinner for your Mom & her husband at Disney World!

Congrats on the weight loss! That's a hard road buddy. Keep at it!

Working a 24hour+ tomorrow. Trying to squeeze spring prep in today. Getting all the scout camping stuff together, lacrosse equipment check, & Hunger Games!

 

[AirGoofy]

Happened to me at WDW (even more embarrassing while trying to buy dinner for your Mom & her husband at Disney World!!

Happened to me their too. I had bought 3-day tickets and the resort had not run them thru. So, when we were eating dinner whatever night, there wasn't enough room on KTTW card for charging. Luckily, I had my credit card with me.

 

[AirGoofy]

Time to go get ready for soccer. Game at 9 and then ref 2 games later. Supposed to be t-storms this afternoon. And, with the weather being in the 50s and 60s and raining, it just makes it an ugly day. Have a great day everyone.

 

[Bo Duke]

Just saw an ad for idiots!! Get up to a $5000 loan
At 116.73% 84 payments of $488.58!

That's $41040.72 for a $5000 loan!!

Well if your interested please make sure you have a checking account.. That was another stipulation to the loan!

I just couldn't believe it was a commercial on television! Must have been on "cops" or "hard time"

Is that the native american loan company??

I think that is the same one I saw a couple of weeks ago. It has a woman doing the commercial. She says in it "We know it's expensive" I froze it on dvr to see the specifics and figured the same as you guys did. Over $40,000 And she was making it sound like the payday or check into cash stores were ripping you off.

someone from rascine wisc. tried to use my visa and about 3 weeks ago, someone got tammys card.

There's no S in Racine

i would let you use my ap if we had the same finger print.
speaking of nemmi, meis, you know what i mean, anyone hear from the fed man?

That's nice. How the heck do you accidently add not one but TWO zeros that weren't there. Sounds like an inside job. Someone has it out for you. LOL

missed it! And earlier today I tried to contact our TA to make a payment toward our cruise and the auto-reply was that she was on the Fantasy, be back on monday!!

You can still watch it just not live here http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/21310059 and there is a couple of videos on the right too

Well, it's not a fair race, if I don't know the race is on.

I did one of those slow-talk things where you stretch out the words and tried to make him understand, but nope.

Check the 5 minute and 50 second mark of this Proud Canadian!

Kinda begs the question though, why shop at Target, if you can't get a straight answer from them.

 

[twokids0204]

i bet someone has tried it.

Alright.. I am brave enough!! Send me your AP along with your finger.. I will let you guys know how it goes!

Or we can just show up, with a Bolt Cutter or Hacksaw, and come and get it ourself.

Maybe when you sleep... better start sleeping with one eye open.

Hey, just in case we are able to get your finger off... does Briana know where you keep the pass...?



How much do you want to bet Dave's Annual Pass, says "anuul paz".
