2:03 am
dcseain
ooh, ty lyn - i'm so used to that being a phantom that i'd not tried it.
2:04 am
dcseain
i do not agree, m9 - not everyone has a singing voice, or at least there are many who know not how to use theirs
2:04 am
m9f9l
ah... know not how to use... but everyone's got one...
2:05 am
m9f9l
even if you're mute.. I think you have a singing voice inside somewhere.
2:05 am

2:27 am
m9f9l
how do you get those weird ones that sound chinese unaided???
2:28 am
gremlinn
I have more interest in memorizing the ones that sound weird, so oddly it works out in my favor sometimes if there are rare but short words
2:29 am
gremlinn
ooh, phant "retiarii" which I mentioned the other day

I remembered the greeting! I visited Kenya in 2006 and Tanzania in 2008 and really enjoyed both trips.
3:00 am
jmcnrick
Suggestions for Tanzania? My host returned to the US on an emergency and I am left on my own
3:01 am
Haz1558
Goodness! Tanzanian roads are better than Kenyan, so it may be more comfortable to do more road travelling. We stayed for a period in Moshi, near Kilimanjaro, and did safari to NgoroNgoro.
3:02 am
Haz1558
I'd probably try to get onto some kind of organised trip but that's just me being cowardly. We travelled over to Zanzibar, but the boat trip over to Dar is not for the fainthearted.
3:02 am
jmcnrick
My friend told me to fly to Zanzibar
3:03 am
Haz1558
Yes, we flew across from Moshi and got the boat to Dar.
3:03 am
Haz1558
The other thing - are you flying back from Dar to the States?
3:03 am
jmcnrick
maybe i will look at going to kilimanjaro seems a shame to come so far and not go see it
3:04 am
Haz1558
Do be aware that Kilimanjaro is pretty well covered in cloud - we managed a five minute look out of days there!
3:04 am
jmcnrick
must go -- good to see you all and hope to jump on again some time
3:05 am

Glad to know you've arrived safely, jmc. Enjoy!
3:06 am

Would you go there again Haz?
3:07 am
Haz1558
I'd definitely visit either country again, although I also have Botswana on my 'want to go' list.
3:08 am
Haz1558
They were just such memorable holidays and I feel foolish now for being scared of the whole idea of safari.
3:08 am

Hello, yogo.
3:09 am
m9f9l
hi yogo! cool!!
3:10 am
yogo1
hi lynxxx, haz, everyone :)
3:13 am
lynxxx
It is a different 'world' so being 'scared' no surprise. I have not been and I am sure it has changed but I had a girlfriend who travelled around with her young boyfriend doing it rough some years ago...some of the areas they were in sounded more than a bit scary. She was no shrinking violet but she said she would not go back
3:15 am
Haz1558
I can understand if she was roughing it! We were probably spoilt in Kenya, using a package that had us in lovely hotels and very good camping facilities. Our time in Tanzania was less luxurious and you did see more of the poverty and the way people live but never felt threatened. I'd encourage her to go back but with more security built in.
3:17 am
Haz1558
Certainly, for us,the focus of the first trip was for safari, for husband to see the animals after years of drooling at the thought. I was less keen at the thought, but ended up being entranced.
3:19 am
lynxxx
Did he get any 'hands-on' experience? wouldn't it be wonderful if he could do a job swap or something for a few months
3:20 am
Haz1558
No hands on experience! The second time - in Tanzania, he did spot a vet's surgery in the town and wandered in to say hello and to see what drugs they carried.
3:20 am
Haz1558
He would only be able to survive in the African winter. Land him there during the summer and there'd just be a puddle of sweat.
3:21 am

7:27 am
redturtlehead
I have not seen much about the changes....I shoudl join the babble group on FB.
7:27 am
sprite
oh that is so nice! It is HOT here, but today is slightly better.
7:29 am
sprite
my daughter is gone all day... swimming in the local ditches with the rest of the neighbourhood kids, it is that hot. It is eerily qu5/16 here :)
7:30 am
redturtlehead
Hope she has fun Sprite, that does not sound very sanitary... but then again...
7:30 am
sprite
hi Angelsong, I hope it will be good. Very unpleasant that it isn't compatible with Lickety's browser.
7:30 am
sprite
oh no, not sanitary at all. But she is hardened, lol. I am the kind of mum that lets her kids play in the sandbox.
7:31 am

redturtlehead
Well, Feather, I have fireworks as an icon themee, its new...
7:32 am
GreyWoulf
Merry 4th of July Greetings from the USA!
It's been a very long time since I have been last on, so I decided to take the opportunity to let people know that I am doing alright
7:33 am
sprite
they are almost never ill *knocks wood*. I think being too sanitary with kids makes them susceptible (sp?) to germs and stuff.
7:33 am
NonoNanette
hi Grey!
7:33 am
featherbee
oooo, very pretty red
7:33 am
Uneaixoise
Greywoulf!!! so good to see you!!

{{{{{{{{{{{{Woulf}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
Sooo good to see you.

Hi Gray, good to see you and glad to hear you are ok.

Good morning folks!
7:34 am

7:35 am
GreyWoulf
{{**NonoNanette, sprite, featherbee, Une, red**}}
Good to know I am still missed 8-)
7:35 am
Uneaixoise
hey, sprite :-)
7:35 am
sprite
you are terribly missed, Woulf. Your input and the atmosphere you create in chat is something I still miss daily.
7:36 am
NonoNanette
Morning Kaplan
7:37 am
GreyWoulf
oh sprite! If only I had the hours in the day to devote to my online life that I used to...
I have missed the chat log and its myriad odd and entertaining topics of conversation
7:38 am
sprite
real life comes first, dear Woulf :)
How is your wife, and how are your kids? How are you doing yourself and how is work?
7:38 am
NonoNanette
hmmm having trouble getting my icon to change
7:39 am
GreyWoulf
Unfortunately, I have two things which interfere with my ability to Babble...
1st - my job responsibilities are in the process of evolving, so I end up working 6-10 extra hours every week which means that much less time with the family
7:39 am
sprite
I can see it in your profile, Nanette. Very beautiful fireworks!
7:40 am
NonoNanette
i thought so too Sprite, I wish I could get it to show in chat log
7:40 am
sprite
and if you force-refresh this page?
7:40 am
JBV
good morning, babblers, Happy Independence Day to all who are celebrating
7:40 am
GreyWoulf
2nd, and definitely the most insidious.... My friends here in Philadelphia decided to get me a World of Warcraft subscription.... I have resisted so long, but they have turned me into a WowHead
7:40 am
NonoNanette
cant see red's in chog either
7:41 am
NonoNanette
good morning JBV and happy 4th to you as well
7:41 am
sprite
ohhhhh Woulf ... yeah that will eat time. Too bad we cannot lure you back here. But I fully understand the fun to game with your friends.
7:42 am
sprite
I force-refreshed and I see both your icons in chat
7:42 am
GreyWoulf
So when I don't have the mental energy to work on a grid, I fire up WoW and go kill some kobolds P-D -- and the worst there, is that usually my friends aren't on at the same time I am
7:42 am
sprite
hi JBV! I think we should all celebrate. Make it a mondial thing.
7:42 am
NonoNanette
have refreshed several times sprite and still the same.... oh well at least others see it
7:43 am
JBV
yes, sprite, wonderful idea!
7:43 am
car.eeyore
Good Morning All! Happy 4th to those celebrating!
7:43 am
sprite
Nanette, did you refresh (F5) or force-refresh (control + F5).
7:43 am
GreyWoulf
but, I have missed the grid as well, so I am working to get back into a proper balance with Babble, WoW, and the family --- just no promises about how often I will be around (esp since I haven't kept any of my previous ones :-\)
7:43 am
NonoNanette
Hi Car Happy 4th to you as well
7:44 am
sprite
hehehe don't promise, Woulf. Just come over whenever it is possible and you feel like it. You are always very very welcome here.
7:44 am
GreyWoulf
happy 4th, car & JBV
7:44 am
NonoNanette
thanks Sprite the force refresh worked
7:45 am
sprite
yayyy Nanette! Fireworks all over the chat, I love it.
7:47 am
GreyWoulf
Now for the short (I promise) family update for those interested..
Kristianna just finished 1st grade and was brought into an accelerated education program due to her advanced reading and comprehension -- school finish was delayed by 10 days due to a teachers strike
7:47 am
sprite
WTG Kristianna!
7:48 am
GreyWoulf
Seb is a precocious 4 1/2 year old who I am hoping to get into preschool this fall, provided I can come up with the money
7:48 am
GreyWoulf
Mom is doing well and looking forward to both kids being in school so she can go back to work. Then we can work on putting money together to stop renting an apartment and get a place of our own
7:48 am
sprite
precocious is great. Will keep my fingers crossed for financial smoothness
7:49 am
sprite
she will love being at work again, I think. Being home with kids is an isolated life for a smart lady.
7:51 am
car.eeyore
sorry to interrupt...I need a clue for the single E in the second column from the right please?
7:51 am
NonoNanette
the volcano
7:52 am
GreyWoulf
And as I stated, my job is evolving at work -- I am working with my district supervisor to create a new area position within the company that would cover the entire northeastern US from Pennsylvania to Maine -- this weekend I am helping to come up with numbers to justify the need -- I wish I could tell more about it now, but will definitely keep it updated in my profile once it is more advanced
7:52 am
car.eeyore
Duh! TY!
7:52 am
JBV
may I take this occasion (the volcano) to fill you in on my news - I've told the story a few times, so some of you may know it but I put it in my profile, too...
7:54 am
car.eeyore
wonderful JBV! How cool to reconnect!
7:55 am
JBV
yes, car - it's really an adventure right now
7:55 am
car.eeyore
I love stories like that! Connections all around the world!
7:55 am
NonoNanette
thats great JBV!
7:56 am
GreyWoulf
Wonderful to hear, JBV... especially on such positive circumstances
Typically lost connections like that get restored through someone passing away
7:57 am
JBV
What's interesting also, is that it was my sister-in-law, who's Irish and very well connected with her family in Ireland, who insisted on this trip - my brother really had no interest, but was dragged along - she said the children had to know both sides of the family (I love her!)
7:58 am
NonoNanette
hurray for your sister-in-law. She is a wise woman

Actually, NB -- we met a long while back -- I just haven't been on since -- at that time you were making the decision to move in with your partner
8:29 am
Mom
{{Nono}} & {{TO}} so nice to see you both
8:30 am
Nancy Boy
Really? Wow, my memory. That wasn't even so long ago! My apologies :)
8:30 am
Mom
NB, I didn't realize you have been a babble for 3 years.
8:31 am
GreyWoulf
NB -- no need for apologies -- I haven't been here, and you have been going through some serious life changes... I hope things are going well for you despite the family concerns expressed at the time
8:33 am
Nancy Boy
Oh yeah, Mom - I was sort of away for a long time in the middle, to do my AS and A levels.
And thanks, Woulf :) turned out, I did get totally disowned. It's alright though - so much has changed in six months!
8:34 am
Mom
ah I see. I thought I was going nuts not having remembered you
8:34 am
Mom
and nice to see you again GreyWoulf
8:35 am
Nancy Boy
But you've been here a lot longer than me...we must have spent quite a few years only just missing each other ;)
8:35 am
Trifioso
nancy, I didn't realize you had been a babbler that long either! wow....
8:35 am
GreyWoulf
Thanks, Mom -- its good to be back -- feels like old times, the new faces and the old still click together as a single whole... it is the main reason why I always recommend babble to people
8:36 am
Nancy Boy
I know...what a keeno ;)
8:36 am
Mom
It is a great bunch of people. I love it here. I thank my sweetie everyday for showing me this site
8:36 am
72 Temple Owl
i've noticed a lot o folks in chog over the last few days - some new but others old who have never chatted before or rarely
8:37 am
GreyWoulf
And now, I must be going -- Seb is expressing a desire for waffles for breakfast -- I will check in later to chat some more and finish
{{**HUGS**}} to all
8:37 am

ummm - "keeno" translation for the american idiot here?

8:38 am
NonoNanette
bye woulf see you later perhaps
8:38 am
Mom
I didn't chat the first year I played. I didn't want to butt into the conversations. :)
8:39 am
Nancy Boy
lol Trif - you can't say that - today is a day of American pride ;) a keeno is just someone who is overly keen, but it's generally used pretty sarcastically. It evolved in school. "You've done your homework? ...Keeno."
8:39 am
Mom
my sweetie found it for me from an article in USA Today
8:39 am
Trifioso
oh, okay. thanks. and really, it was more of a Green Day reference....:)
8:40 am
Mom
I remember that song Trif
8:41 am
Nancy Boy
I thought as much - your boy lurves them, right? couple of friends of mine went to see them recently!
8:42 am
Trifioso
yop. I would LOVE to grab Primo and run away some weekend to NYC and see the Broadway production, but that would take money, and I have none at present.
8:43 am
Nancy Boy
Join the club! English money is so pretty, with all the different colours, but sadly I have none of it.
8:43 am
Trifioso
LOL nancy....
8:44 am
72 Temple Owl
did you lose your job, nb?
8:46 am
Nancy Boy
oh nah, I'm far too popular there ;) service with a smile and all that. But, this flat is bigger, so rent is more, and I'd already put down my share of the rent on Leo's flat before the incident. So, I'm not the scary side of skint ;)

9:19 am
SamanthaJoy
It was sarcasm anyway. I've actually heard that it's the worst movie released in a major theatre since . . . uh, well, maybe just the worst.
9:19 am

LOL! Sorry, I'm a little slow today.

9:44 am
Shirlockc
i heard that the soda companies won and there will be no tax on soda
9:45 am

here it seems the new tax hit everything but baby food and booze
9:50 am

never mind cross,in Ontario they are talking about tolling all the highways! What a crock of doodoo
9:54 am
Nancy Boy
Well Crossy, baby food is very nutritious ;)
9:55 am
Shirlockc
prolly high cal tho
9:56 am
Nancy Boy
Isn't it meant to be good for diets? I'm sure there's a baby-food diet...but that's probably to do with the tiny portion size, rather than calorie content.
9:58 am
Shirlockc
yeah, prolly the small portions, low cal would not work for growing babes
10:00 am
Nancy Boy
Doesn't baby food always sound really yummy, though? Just like normal food only you don't have to bother chewing. Excellent.

Doctors are whippersnappers in ironed white coats,
who spy up your rectum and look down your throats,
and press you and poke you with sterilized tools,
and stab at solutions that pacify fools.
I used to revere them and do what they said
till I learned what they learned on was already dead.
By Gilda Radner: It just goes to show ya, it's always something!

12:41 pm
jan
Sangria is a great use for some of that cheap Aussie red that is too sweet to drink on its own. Yellow Tail and such like...
12:41 pm
rubyfoo
TO: great trick for sangria: cut up the fruit and cover with sugar then cover with cheap brandy and leave out overnight
12:41 pm
Jellen
lol, just got the un 5/12...been scrutinizing grid for ages!
12:41 pm
72 Temple Owl
instead of wine?

it is wonderful that you have the internet connection, jellen
12:42 pm

in5/16?
12:42 pm
rubyfoo
then, the next day, you add cheap red wine (like Gallo burgundy) and ice cubes
12:42 pm

I'd say, start with ruby's trick, then add the wine and sparkling ice the next day.
12:42 pm
Jellen
in + ***iety is the spice of life!
12:43 pm

the brandy keeps it from becoming insipid when you add the ice
12:43 pm

and we'll all be over to share it TO!
12:43 pm

Bet the fruit, sugar, and brandy is good on its own, too.

12:49 pm

I didn't see the martini recipe, but I would guess you would strain the watermelon juice well to make the consistency right, then probably add vodka, perhaps a bit of fresh lemon or lime, and maybe a splash of simple syrup or Roses's lime juice. Just a guess though.
12:50 pm
rubyfoo
oh, a vodka martini! hmm, I was thinking of gin, but the other wd be better!

Watermelon martinis:
1:00 pm
72 Temple Owl
/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
4 cups cubed seedless watermelon
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Ice
1 bottle sparkling water
4 ounces citrus vodka, optional
Directions
In a small saucepan combine the sugar with 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then remove from the heat and let cool.
In a blender add the watermelon, 2 tablespoons of the sugar syrup and the lemon juice and puree until smooth. Strain through fine mesh sieve into a bowl and discard the pulp.
Fill a pitcher with ice, add the watermelon mixture and stir until chilled. Pour into chilled martini glasses and top with seltzer. Add vodka, if desired.
1:00 pm
Jellen
Oh! 2 left!
1:01 pm
jan
Pretty close to my guess, then. Though it wold be quicker to substitute Rose's lime juice for the simple syrup. Unless you happen to have simple syrup on hand.

1:04 pm
72 Temple Owl
well bring your flask jan. je brought her bottle of jack didn't you? :D
1:04 pm
jan
I think I's skip the sparkling water in favor of more watermelon juice. It's pretty watery itself. If you use the sparkiling water, it's more of a collins than a martini.
1:05 pm
jmcnrick
just slip me some vodka
1:05 pm
jmcnrick
no i am on the wagon here
1:06 pm
72 Temple Owl
oh well. folks i can buy a blender and watermelon, but in this state no liquor sales on sunday
1:07 pm
jan
I saw an interesting item on the 'shaken not stirred' debate that explained that it really does make a differnce if the vodka is potato based rather than grain based. Potato based vodka has a slight oiliness, and shaking creates an emulsion that makes the drink taste smoother. No impact on grain vodka though.
1:07 pm
72 Temple Owl
well je, i tried to win a bottle at our church carnival last night. no dice.
1:08 pm
rubyfoo
I don't like the taste of potato vodka, plain old smirnoff (red) and Evian (no ice) with a Tuscan pepper
1:08 pm

I can't drink until I get to Tanzania and no one knows me!

72 Temple Owl
i have not tasted potato vodka. is there a certain brand?
1:09 pm
rubyfoo
I thought it was nasty! It was Polish
1:09 pm
rubyfoo
and expensive!
1:09 pm
jmcnrick
maybe the problem was it was polish
1:09 pm
jan
Actually I don't know. I probably use our hard alcohol stash more for cooking than for drinking.
1:10 pm

I like a drink while I'm cooking, not wine
1:10 pm

I did have an interesting Polish vodka once--flavored with bison grass!
1:10 pm

I hope they sterilized it first!
1:11 pm

I had bison for lunch
1:11 pm

Yup. I'd never heard of it either, but it's a traditional Polish speciality. It gets served a lot half and half with apple juice.
1:12 pm

Bison grass is a kind of grass, not grass where bison have been hanging out.

2:31 pm
sciencegeek
you will have to learn to deal with her
2:31 pm
shdybr8

2:32 pm
Jellen
She's not that bad...but she does love to talk, and I don't much...

2:32 pm
sciencegeek
Shdy - what do you think about him?
2:32 pm
shdybr8
i apologize for talking about this, but i have nowhere else to go
2:33 pm
Jellen
Thanks sg...he's doing much better pain-wise...Actually, he's a tad loopy, lol
2:33 pm
sciencegeek
we understand
2:33 pm
sciencegeek
I will send prayers your way Jellen
2:33 pm
Jellen
No need to apologize, shdy...we're here for you...
2:34 pm
sciencegeek
many of us "talk" here
2:34 pm
shdybr8
thursday i called the police because he was tearing the house apart and called me a dumb fing cword, loudly enough that the neighbors were worried
2:34 pm
sciencegeek
oh no...was he drunk?
2:34 pm
shdybr8
yes, at 7 am
2:34 pm
sciencegeek
maybe some couples counseling is in order? will he go?
2:34 pm
sciencegeek
oops that is a problem....
2:35 pm
sciencegeek
maybe AA
2:35 pm
sciencegeek
dont let him in unless he will agree to some counseling...sounds to risky...you have to be safe
2:35 pm
shdybr8
i thought about that, but when we talked, all he cared about was that he has "stuff" in my house. He didn't care about the so-called relationship
2:36 pm
sciencegeek
put his stuff in the driveway and tell him to come and get it.
2:36 pm
shdybr8
i was going to suggest that he sign a 6 month lease, and we see how we are after that
2:36 pm
Judi
Afternoon, lads and lassies! Happy 4th of July to my fellow Yanks!
2:37 pm
Jellen
I'd would think some time and space is in order...
2:37 pm
sciencegeek
Judi! Hola ladybug!
2:37 pm
shdybr8
that's what the cops said, geek!, but i'm not that person, i won't disrespect someone that way
2:37 pm
Jellen
You've have problems before, haven't you, shdy?
2:37 pm
sciencegeek
Okay ladies and lurkers....I am outta here...maybe back later.
2:37 pm

onyx

2:38 pm
Jellen
Would love to talk jewelry sometime, sg!
2:38 pm
shdybr8
yes, jellen, i'm just too stupid to let it go
2:38 pm
sciencegeek
abuse is abuse
2:38 pm
Judi
Reading back in the chat... sorry to hear of your dilema shdybr8. Perhaps it's best not to sign any papers with this person. Alcoholics are very unreliable.
2:38 pm
sciencegeek
Jellen - find me on facebook - creative habits artisan jewelry - or email me creativehabits@embarqmail.com -- we are neighbors
2:38 pm
Jellen
Stupid is not the right word! Maybe too optimistic...
2:39 pm
shdybr8
i went on friday and opened a new bank account, took myself off of our shared one
2:39 pm
Judi
Maybe he should just come and get all of his "stuff". They you can talk later at a neutral location - hopefully where he wont throw things around and curse at you.
2:39 pm
sciencegeek
Shdy - take care of you first. I lived with somone who beat me...
2:39 pm
sciencegeek
Yes, Judi!
2:40 pm
lbdawger
clue for the lone e?
2:40 pm
sciencegeek
lived with him until he broke my ribs and gave me a concussion and a collapsed lung...
2:40 pm
Judi
That, and pee in the gas tank of his motorcycle. Oh wait - not mature.
2:40 pm
sciencegeek
lone e - volcano
2:40 pm
shdybr8
geek, he hasn't hit me yet, but my first husband did, so I know what to look for
2:40 pm
sciencegeek
fishy
2:40 pm
sciencegeek
well, this idiot i lived with did not start out hitting me....it took a couple of years
2:41 pm
Jellen
Will look you up now, sg!
2:41 pm
sciencegeek
Judi - lol - better to put some diesel fuel in the tank
2:41 pm
shdybr8
that's why he's homeless and i'm just sad and scared
2:41 pm
sciencegeek
narcissistic personality disorder
2:41 pm
Judi
Wisdome consists of not making the same mistake twice, shdy. It's okay to love him, just don't live with him.
2:41 pm
sciencegeek
Dont feel sorry for him he is a grown man
2:42 pm
sciencegeek
okay bbl
2:42 pm
shdybr8
i'm not, and i thank all of you for listening and caring
2:42 pm
Judi
AND, if he's talking about coming to get his stuff, he must have an alternative place to put it. So, don't buy any homeless boo-hooing.
2:43 pm
shdybr8
i already called the local constable, so he won't be here without help
2:43 pm
lbdawger
stoopid volcano!
2:44 pm
Judi
That's good, shdy. And the correct spelling is "wisdom". Duh.
2:45 pm
shdybr8
ok, wanna hear something funny? he actually told the police that he was ripping the house apart because I took his teeth and hid them from him. Seriously? Even the cops couldn't help but laugh.
2:46 pm
Judi
lol. That is funny! Sad, but funny.
2:46 pm
lbdawger
bad, shdy, taking his teef! rofl
2:46 pm
shdybr8
i think the word is pathetic
2:47 pm
Mom
Oh Shdy, I hope he didn't have them in his mouth when he was telling the story. I am sorry for the heartache. {{Hugs}}
2:47 pm
shdybr8
look out dawg, I'l steal your teeth next, apparently I'm that kind of woman!
2:48 pm
Judi
Oh, hell. Now I'm curious. Did he ever find his teeth??
2:48 pm

well, evan, i put him on my account, i trusted him,. and he has spent the last month spending my money\
3:37 pm
Jellen
You're not on the account anymore, so it's his problem...
3:37 pm
shdybr8
actually jellen, i stilla m
3:37 pm
Jellen
Ouch, shdy!
3:37 pm
evanonut
oh boy, now that's not acceptable.
3:38 pm
shdybr8
all of my income goes to a different accont now, but my tax refund is still headed there
3:39 pm
harpjane
reminds me of a Meryn Cadell piece "I was still nursing a tender broken heart when my Visa bill rolled in...."
3:39 pm
evanonut
i think i would slap down rules, my money/your money. tell him he's to give you x amount of money per pay, you will handle the bills and he can spend the rest as he likes. close the account. then the tax refund can't go there, it will limbo until you set up a new location.
3:39 pm
Jellen
Hmmm...talk to your bank, and see if you can do anything (talk to a supervisor)...or your accountant...
3:40 pm
evanonut
get set up with online banking or phone banking, check it daily, and zap it out the minute it hits if you don't want to close the account.
3:41 pm
Jellen
*If you can do anything at this point about redirecting the money to your new account, that is...
3:41 pm
shdybr8
jellen, i actually let him in to my bank, because i trusted him
3:41 pm
Jellen
Good thought, nutty!
3:41 pm
evanonut
or, if you're friendly enough with one of the tellers, leave them with the signed papers to move the money and ask them to track it too. if they notice it going in, they can move it for you. (former teller talking here)
3:41 pm
Jellen
I know, but he's not being very trustworthy right now...
3:42 pm
Jellen
vi5 = vi + conjuction
3:42 pm
evanonut
you can trust someone, without trusting them with money anymore. it may be that he's not capable of handing financial responsibility.
3:42 pm
Jellen
*conjunction
3:43 pm
shdybr8
i went to the bank on friday, i witherew all money from checking, i started a new account

Jellen

3:45 pm
Dorens
don't mean to butt in, but you can close the account, yes?
3:45 pm
Jellen
Hey, Dorens
3:45 pm
shdybr8
yes, he actually makes more than i do

3:46 pm
Dorens
hm... don't know how to tell IRS to switch... but my friend (and accountant) is coming this evening, i could ask him
3:47 pm
Jellen
*thinking bad thoughts about this guy...
3:47 pm
shdybr8

3:49 pm
shdybr8

Okay, my brother, who the chairman of the board of a bank said this: Go to the bank and have them contact the IRS while you are there about changing the account the refund will be sent to...
4:01 pm
Jellen
Shdy, they may give you directions on how to do this yourself, but they should help you with the paperwork you need to complete...
4:02 pm
