Transferred $8k from the kid's 529 to the university on the 16th. Still hasn't posted yet and they're closed until the 2nd. It's due by the 3rd. Peons shouldn't get holiday breaks.

Sent my kid a text with "imo" in it. He didn't know what that meant. Asked him about iirc, smh, itt, ...nope, nope, nope. Got dragged into the texting world last year and here I thought I was one of the cool kids.

Nope.

Guess GTFO won't get a reaction either.

Had a remote start installed on my van 2 weeks ago. This morning I finally noticed a little blue light that now that flashes on the windshield and it's causing my ocd to tingle since it wasn't there before.

Remember the time-consuming pain that was alpha-numeric texting? Kids don't.

No reason to bother abbreviating anymore.

I was reading a little too much on The Shield and now I know how it ends. So, yeah, kinda spoiled myself there.

Ha, he abbreviates all of the time....I hate "ur".
I hate that one too, for some reason. Oh and "u" too. I don't mind other ones but those two annoy me for whatever reason. I do like "wat" though, although in an ironic sort of way.

Flew international business class to Paris. The seats were only angled flat - not fully lie flat.

:horror (my tears are moistening the croissant I am eating).

I'm sure the peons crammed together like sardines in coach feel your pain...

I applied for a bank account. The f'ers sent a confirmation containing most of my application info via unsecured email. What year is this?

A company was giving away an old model climbing helmet if you bought $250 of stuff. I go through the site and get $250 of stuff I don't really need, add the helmet, and it's sold out. Not quite sure if that's good or bad. Saved me from getting a bunch of gear I don't need to get a helmet I don't need, but free helmet! Would have made a good spare, and the gear would have been used eventually... :^/

Kinda makes me think of Slick Deals. The site is great and there's a lot of good deals posted, but I think I probably spent more money after joining the site than if I wouldn't have joined at all. LOL

Same with the old FatWallet site.
