[This, plus coupon comment, causes Tarklar to stop wondering Where Nola-B.-Ma'am Was When He Was Single, off list man]

 

Well, you probably don't need to do that because your house isn't getting messy 10 times a day. It is nice to have it all clean at once, versus the piecemeal cleaning I do during the week.

 

When I was younger, it was so it could reach perfection. Even when we had a cleaning lady, we'd pick up everything first and then clean the additional things she wouldn't - take apart and vacuum every cushion on the couch, bleach the baseboards, clean the trash can, etc. It is some sort of weird cleaning disease gotten from my German grandmother.

Man I'm talking about like if someone writes you a check, you scan it, deposit it...

I can do it on the phone, but not on a desktop. 

Yeah but until i moved to the usa, i hadnt had anyone give me a physical cheque (check) in like 10 years.

You guys remember fat boy? Tiffs cousin? Married an ABC? 3 years ago?

She's screaming for a divorce, he's in the middle of 751. 

She's keeps calling me up chewing my ears off. I'm like, why are you calling me??

Did I see this coming? Yes...

My husband's paycheck is still paper every week. His boss doesn't like direct deposit. If it weren't for mobile deposit it would very irritating to bring it to the bank all the time. I'm not sure I see the allure in paper for things like this.

Yes, how do you think I know OCD...

 

People still pay me in checks. But the mobile deposit systems are not that good. I wish I could use my desktop computer to make a deposit.

I had a paper cheque arrive yesterday. My social security.  I have set it up to deposit directly, but it hasn't kicked in. Bit daft, as there are huge red warnings on the envelope that I MUST set up direct deposit. I have thanks, as it is a 40-mile return trip to a branch of my bank from here.

 

When I worked first in NZ, we used to get pay packets. So, little brown envelopes with the exact amount you were owed in notes and coins. The moved from that to direct deposit about two years later.

So we had a eventful morning today..... We had every intention of waking up early and going to the 9:30 Mass in town. So my wife work up early and went downstairs to get everything started for the day so we can go to mass. She let the dog out and was getting ready to feed her when she tripped and fell on the ground, all the while spraining her ankle in the process. So instead of waking up, getting the kids ready, then going to mass. We got up, I got the kids dressed and fed, and then we went to the ER to make sure nothing was broke in her foot. Luckily there wasn't many people there so we only ended up being there for 2 hours instead of all day. But they confirmed what I told my wife is that she has a sprain and gave her 800mg  Ibuprofin. 

 

So now I have to take at least tomorrow off of work while we are getting ready for a big inspection in 2 weeks.

Spent the morning putting together my new PC all by myself.  It's been a while since ive done it. Took me forever to find a case i liked yesterdah.  Its RGB which i was all "oo rainbow brite yay!"  Turns out the motherboard is led rgb not normal rgb.  Determine that no i dont want to deal with that and take it apart to exchange the motherboard.  Thankfully i hadnt put the CPU on yet so nothing to clean off.  The actual case i wanted weighed a small metric tonne so this was the "that'll do" but regardless, i want rgb control on the mobo. 

 

I found a new nail salon which i will try tomorrow.  I really dont need a fill at this point but i want a different shape and my toes done too.

Nail pic now...

And piggy toes...

And the new PC

/not a PC gamer, so never was ambitious enough to build things myself; for non-gamer components, it's hard to get better prices on parts than Dell & co. do, and also easier to just get a laptop
