Does the OP know how to access the phones internal “counters”, and verify that much data has passed through their phone? Otherwise, someone could have cloned it, and she would get the bill as well.

I wish someone would come out with a vaccine against lead so we could quit having all these recalls.

Honestly if I were in danger of overdrafting with a purchase, I would rather the transaction be denied rather than have the bank do me a favor and “spare me the embarassment” of having my card decline. If someone doesn’t have $4 in their checking account to cover the purchase their morning coffee, what makes a bank think they will be able to cover the $28 racked up in overdraft fees? What even bothers me more are so called “overdraft protection” accounts which still charge you a fun little fee for the “convenience” of transfering money from your linked savings account. I just don’t understand the world we live in.

For me personally, I’ve simply stopped being in the stock market altogether (at least with my personal trading account– can’t do much w/ my 401ks). I’m creating my own small (very small) hedge fund that’s investing in solid, physical objects: coins, art, antiques, real estate, etc.

A few weeks ago a German car hit my Korean car. I’m now temporarily driving a Chevy Cobalt. This last part is the most tragic aspect of the car accident.

Yes, how about concentrating on customer service instead of walking aimlessly around like an idiot?

If banks can turn Q1 profits it will be the beginning of the end of the recession. All this noise about “global insolvency” will go away. Keep in mind, the truly awful bears have been claiming “global insolvency” every year since 1982 because they don’t believe in leveraged banks.

A lot o’ people don’t realize what’s really going on. They view life as a bunch o’ unconnected incidents ‘n things. They don’t realize that there’s this, like, lattice o’ coincidence that lays on top o’ everything. Give you an example; show you what I mean: suppose you’re thinkin’ about a plate o’ shrimp. Suddenly someone’ll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o’ shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin’ for one, either. It’s all part of a cosmic unconciousness.
