Information cards and candy bars

!!!NO CAVITIES!!!

Despite being friendly and talkative, "Heather" didn't compliment my snot-hole grooming skills even once. I decided to instead reward myself with an everything bagel and a vanilla chai when I got to work. It was a wise decision.

[Poll #285865]

Tonight is the visit to the financial planner. Marie's cashing out her retirement plan at her job, since they can't afford to contribute to it anymore. I still think it's better for her to contribute to that (as it's pre-tax), but we'll see what comes from the meeting.

I think I've found out why Terry's had the upper hand at cribbage lately. He's on dial-up and a less-than-new computer. I'm on cable and have a very fast machine. While he only plays cribbage while we are playing, I'm doing about 5 other things (last night it was downloading music, decoding music, reinstalling a software package, listening to music, reading my friends list and cleaning up the desktop). Thus, I'm not paying attention to the cards in his hand and end up losing the pegging battle. Next week I will have the focus of a laser beam and come out victorious.

After we played last night, I went and got a FireWire card (thanks again to toolheadjdg for the tech support) and was pleased to see that the card came with a cable. Hence, I can return the $30 one I bought separately last week. If I can get this all to work for only $50, I'll be quite pleased.

If anyone has a round-trip ticket from Appleton to Detroit for this weekend that they aren't going to be using, let me know...

You should leer at your hygienist and make gestures with your tongue while she's working.

I was thinking of doing the Hand Jive the entire time, but she made my gums bleed enough for one morning.

You know what would be creepier than staring right into the hygienist's eyes? Keeping your eyes shut and moaning every once in awhile.

Will Marie get penalized for withdrawing her funds? I think mine were whopped about 40% when I withdrew early. Maybe she could transfer it to an IRA?

Either that, or other inappropriate behavior (grabbing the suction thingy and sticking it on her face mask, for example).

I think there must be some penalty - depending on if it can be rolled-over into something else of if it's a withdrawal scenario. As she's still at her job, I don't know how accessible the funds will be. We shall see!
