I actually think your whine is much more important Jerz. It is disgusting how North American societies treat their citizens.

Those thieves in the night are at it again! I forgot to put my purse in the drawer Wednesday night, and got taken for $10. We had a rash of thefts last year...this is the first (for me) in a long time...but, it only takes once to let your guard down. Really pi$$e$ me off!!!

Jerz - that's really awful about your purse
Glad you wrote what you did to the British woman about Mrs O because:
(and this is from The Times yesterday)


"When Michelle Obama put her arm round the Queen at Buckingham Palace, some of the more excitable elements of the media suggested she may have been guilty of a breach of protocol.

They missed the real story, however. What was far more interesting was that the Queen put her arm round the First Lady.

It is less than 20 years ago that the Australian Prime Minister was branded “the Lizard of Oz” for committing the supposedly heinous crime of putting his hand on the Queen’s back during an official tour of Australia.

Now the Queen is not just putting up with physical gestures of affection from a woman she has only just met, but is reciprocating with one of her own.

The footage does not make it clear who made the first move. But given the Queen’s track record - she is not a woman known for doing warm, at least not in public - the fact that Mrs Obama is American, and that the President spent most of the first part of the day putting his arm round Gordon Brown, it can safely be assumed that it was the First Lady who took the initiative.

A breach of protocol? Hardly. Buckingham Palace was very relaxed today about the incident, and attitudes there have changed significantly since the days of Mr Keating and his lese-majesty. And no, they don’t issue instructions to people about not touching the Queen.

“This was a mutual and spontaneous display of affection and appreciation between The Queen and Michelle Obama,” said a Palace spokeswoman.

Almost from the moment they first met it was clear that the Queen and the Obamas were getting on well. They joked together, and by the time came to pose for photographs they were acting almost like old friends. Which, considering that they met for the first time that afternoon, was quick work."

I am really upset right now..... I post dated a check for today, the 3rd. I'm on a fixed
income and my check goes in to my account today. They ran the check through on the 2nd. This put my account in the neg and now they charged me 138.00 in fee's. I talked with someone from the bank and they said it does not matter what date you put on the check as long as you signed it. The fee's have not even gone through but they will not reverse the charges. I now have .71 cents in my account....
This is really upsetting!!!!!!!

OMG...Kendra...that's awful! Have you spoken to someone who has the authority to waive the charges? Sometimes they will, if it's a first infraction. My own bank has a policy of waiving overcharges...but, only once in every year. It's worth a try! Plead poverty...wouldn't be far from the truth!

I've been there too. Not a happy place to be. I agree with Jerz, talk to a higher up if you can.

Yes, I trust that the Queen is finally not having an "annus horribilus". The Obamas are a good role model for all us of getting along.
