ahhh to be back in highschool and college..... I just broke up a high school graduation party of 17-20 year olds. The look on their faces were priceless when I walked up. As I walk up most of the kids are in the front of the house smoking. I had to tell them to keep it down. THen as I made my way to the back of the house kids are running out the back door jumping off the deck. THe kids were amazed when I told them to just keep the noise down and if your drinking .... do not drive!

He he -- last night I went to The Fort for dinner. It was excellent, as it was the last time I was there. Somehow, though, nobody got up enough gumption to try the Rocky Mountain Oysters. They are described on the menu as, "Buffalo bites." :eek: :eek: :eek:

Ugh, Wachovia wouldn't take my coins today. Since they submitted my Large Cash Transaction Report yesterday, "Corporate hasn't had time to respond yet. Can you come back Monday?" Well, I'm out 'til Thursday and The Mint shipped another 8k yesterday, for Monday delivery. As soon as I get back, I'll be opening a Chase & another account so I have lots of branches to drop these things off.

To make it all the more fun, we had a very obnoxious mid-50s/early 60s-year-old woman on board who was a total @ss to the flight crew. When we killed the engines at EWR, she stormed up the aisle from coach to speak to the flight attendant, loudly announcing, "If we're still on the ground 30 minutes from now I will have a heart attack." :eek: The flight attendant asked her if she was having a medical issue, and she yelled, very loudly, "I'VE ALREADY HAD TWO HEART ATTACKS AND BARELY SURVIVED THE SECOND! DO YOU WANT ME TO HAVE A THIRD? DO YOU WANT TO KILL ME?" The flight attendant tried to calm her down, and she finally stormed back to her seat.

After landing at BNA, she once again stormed up the aisle, locked herself in the first class lavatory for about 10 minutes, while a line of desperate passengers from economy who had been in their seats for nearly two hours due to turbulance waited, to do her makeup. After a flight attendant knocked on the door to make sure she was alright, she opened it, makeup in hand, and said "Let me be! I'm trying to fix my makeup!" She was then told that other passengers needed the lav, and she could put makeup on later after landing at ATL. She then stormed out, another episode of "I'm going to have a heart attack" started, this time involving the flight service coordinator, a gate agent from BNA, and the captain. This rolled out into the jetway, where I had a perfect view of the action out my window from seat 1A. She dropped a few F bombs during this conversation, and seemed to not care that everyone in F was discussing how obnoxious she was, as well as the line of Y passengers who were still in the front of the plane waiting for the lav. The best part was the flight service coordinator saying, "Ma'am, do we need to call you an ambulance for your heart, or the Nashville Police Department for your abuse of the flight crew?" Amazingly, that shut her up. She was then allowed to stand in the corner of the jetway and pout until we were ready to push back and head for ATL. Fortunately we didn't hear another peep out of her for the rest of the trip.

Once the house is re-done, I'll have to have a local box get-together over at casa-de-GadFly.

g'night all.

The banks have to report some lower number than $10K, even though individuals only have to file at $10K. They're trying to snuff out the 3x $4K transactions thing. That being said, I don't actually know what the new number for the banks is for reporting.
