We don't want to relive that, no D ma'am!

Unsure why Mini-B. is gear-butted, no man.

We had a bad night and awoke early after the weirdest nightmare ever, something involving a mechanic shop man.

 

We caffeinated and Sunday-papered ourself until noon, good start man.

We had plans to retrieve Mama T-B.'s Rx and drop it outside her door, si man.

Uncle T-B. then called and asked if we planned to come by, si man.

We said yes, and he asked for "Many (2x2x2 +1) or Many (2x2x2x2 -1) minutes to help him get into his brokerage account," si man.

 

We dropped the Rx and headed to Uncle T-B.'s crib, si man.

We ended up having to call the brokerage for assistance, log-in really hosed man.

We got him in, finally man.

 

Uncle T-B. then asked us to help him get into MyChart, another long-standing problem man.

We managed to do this by converting our e-mail address to his, probably a big mistake man.

He had no clue of what I was explaining to him, no hearing-aids in man.  

 

Uncle T-B. then pulled out a Life Insurance package, had it for years man.

He rambled about wanting to do something with it, couldn't out-figure what it was we man.

By now, we had been there over an hour,    man.

We finally managed to extricate ourself, good grief man.

We returned with the PoA + all papers to Mama T-B., appreciative senior she man.

 

At the casa was an e-mail from the new bank for Mama T-B.'s latest CD, see we man.

It asked us to verify ourself, basic information for joint account man.

We typed the first bit of this and hit "continue," next page man.

We got a "Whoops, man -- we can't verify who you are, no man.  Wait for our e-mail, si man."

 

The e-mail said that Mama T-B. couldn't add us as joint, unverifiable we man.

We called the bank, infuriating phone tree man.

Customer Disservice chica said, "We can't tell you the security reason why you were declined, no man."
