So everyone in my office is talking about what they are going to do with their rebate. Me, well first of all, I did not indicate for it to be sent direct deposit, so when I receive it, if I get anything, it'll come via snail mail. Secondly, whatever I get will go directly to the bank. Stimulate the economy? Hmmm!

Last week I had a colonoscopy. It was nice being home for three days. What was not nice was the preparation for the procedure! And boy, was I hungry afterwards! All...

Literally! Just so happens, about six months ago, a new branch of my bank opened-up across the highway from where I work, and I am so delighted because it just makes my banking so much easier.
