Before my wife left she had an unrepairable flat on her car and I had to move up by three months a $607.00 tire purchase to right now. This just two days after I bought a laptop to use until I fix my cratered desktop.

Now to top matters off I miscalculated on my bank balance and just found out today that over the last two days a bunch of little piddily checks / check card purchases caused me to have overdrafts. My bank pays them but I still have to pay the overdraft fee of $35.00 per item and there are TEN of them for a total of $350.00. Arghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used to be in the habit of looking at my account online every couple of days but have been so busy lately that I didn't look at it for the last two weeks or so and thought I was ok keeping a mental balance in my head.

Oh well, the weather is still great and I am definitley riding my motorcycle tomorrow for a good long ride!!!

I expected this to be a whine that the store was out of Triple Fudge Chocolate Ice Cream.

Seriously, PM me your number. You and our ivory tickling friend need to bring your spouses up here so we can have a cookout and some fellowship.

Sounds good to me!! I will PM you my number. When you get settled in if you don't have a good reason to come to Nashville soon (and everybody should) then we will have to take you up on your offer and make a Saturday of it.

You will never have to pay an overdraft again.

I keep a ledger that my wife and I use for enture year.

I have 15 of the in a drawer from years past.

We never use a check book ledger.

We take out our amounts each night and it is in a central location we can both see each day.

There are sage guards you can put in place so you never have to worry about your balance...

Good advice. I have been with the bank so long they will pay just about anything and let my account go negative but I don't officially have overdraft protection as you descibed. I am so mad at myself for such stupidity!!! I actually had several hundred dollars cash I could have deposited if I had known what was happening.

LOL!! No kidding. I had been thinking lately of not being so paranoid about wearing my armored jeans and jacket when the weather is so nice but then today I got an email that someone who either rides with my church riding club or a friend of one of our members wrecked their bike with their wife on the back. She is bruised up but ok. He is in Vanderbilt Hospital and is about to undergo skin graft surgery to try and replace some of the skin he left on the pavement.

They had on full face helmets that probably saved them from being killed or at least much more serious injuries but they had no protective clothing on.

The idea of having your skin literally peeled off by pavement is motivation enough for me to keep on wearing my armor!!!

Notice I didn't say EXTRA cash!!! It was supposed to pay some bills. I just talked to my wife but I didn't have the heart to tell her. I don't want to ruin her little mini vacation visiting relatives.
