And.... brother.... it's spelled raZa, not raSa..... unless you're talking about a cup of sugar filled up to the brim

Ahhh. As soon as I saw who the poster was it all came together. That guy's a bit of a nutter.

Reason why I just officially inaugurated an Off topic section in the Latin American forum
I promise not to bad mouth you Canadians.... ok, not THAT MUCH

Ahhhhhh Len has jumped shippppppp

Never sister trailmix, never. I love my Canada forum!
I just felt it was about time Latin America had its own 'fuera de lugar'/ off topic subforum. Seriously, we are insulted every day over and over and over as a community (i.e. idiotic assumptions that all Latin Americans are non-documented residents, etc); so it is nice to have a space to just chat in the language of our ancestors.

Here darling, just copy & paste:


YA BASTA!

I sister Spirit....

Sorry my Puerto Rican homies spell it the other way to prevent Cubans sh*tting on them. Some Cubans (read: MOST) treat Mexicans like sh*t. Has to do with who's more Spanish or some other stupid crap.

Just to add another vent...

Me and hubby go out for lunch today, and we used our newly opened checking accounts debit card......

Refused.
Went to ATM. Refused.
Went inside ( I hate doing that) and the lady looks at me like I am stupid because we did our lease check which was higher than the funds...

I was like WTF there was supposed to be 2 paychecks in there, not one.

So called hubby he says to calm down that paycheck must have been in the old account and settings for direct deposit in new account didnt go through. So i go at old bank to withdraw and transfer money...

NO MONEY!



So then he went to HR lady to find out that the Payroll company misread the papers....and DEPOSITED THE MONEY IN SOMEONE ELSE"S ACCOUNT!!!!!

That fun to know, specially after the lease check passed....

Anyways its been taken care of and we should have it tomorrow. But it's hell of a way to start with a new account in the US....

AHHHHHHH that stuff drives me NUTTERS... I went to cash a check today and they held it.. it was for $50.00.. they woudln't cash it until the check clears.. what a load of bull crap!! AHHHHHHH

I think everything is driving me bonkers these days.. everything.

Is it me or any customer service /job/ whatever has to do with money here is always meant to screw us up ???

Never happened to me so much in Canada. Here its like they charge you one more month even if you cancelled, they don't give you the rebate they said they would when buying something, they FORGET to give you money, they give it in wrong account, etc

It never happened to me so much since I moved here. And it happened like 6-7 times in 9 months!!!! It's driving me nuts.

I hear you. I used to complain about our Credit Union in Edmonton. No more.... banking around here s-u-c-k-s.

It's you. I know the feeling, I'm on the phone with an institution of finance and I just got off the phone with the AZDMV. It's even more glamourous than it sounds.

Speaking of customer service, I meant to ask you guys - or those of you that have withdrawn money from an RRSP lately.

It was free to withdraw RRSP funds from TD. Then they decided to charge $25, now it is $50. Does your bank charge you to withdraw funds from your RRSP?

I'm talking your regular RRSP's here, not the ones locked in for a period of time or anything.

Dear Trailmix,

I would help you if i knew anything at all about financial matters.



Thank you Len and Mumsie...I am extremely touched!

Don't even get me STARTED about the banking, Floridian "customer service", legal rip-offs, and con artists disguised as service providers here in the US. I lost my MIND this weekend over yet ANOTHER incident like that. Un. Be. Lievable. I was ready to pack my bags and go home, I tell ya.

I cashed out my RRSP's held by TD all in 1 shot last yr and yes there was a "fee" to do so,plus they took off 25% (think it was 25%)for taxes

that must have been Mumsie , always trying to grab the ladies...... IR5, BEHAVE! Sister Spirit is a newly wed, so no touching

YUP!!!! We just switched banks here. Regions/AmSouth sucks major! Gawd, I got so freaking tired of giving them my marriage cert, and SSN with NEW MARRIED NAME and my license with my NEW MARRIED NAME so I could get a new debit card. FOUR TIMES! Neither time did I get a new debit card. Then they kept fouling up our account...charges would appear as pending then the next day just disappear! AUGH!!!!!!! Computer systems a bit off they'd say...like we need THAT to happen with OUR money. Uh huh yeah. IMHO Regions/AmSouth had gotten so big (they recently bought out AmSouth) that customer service was obsolete. OH and the drive thrus....OMG....no window, no real live person. Just a small SMALL monitor (maybe 4X4) to "see" the teller. Oy Vey...they got on my last nerve that's for sure.

Our new bank is lovely. It's a small bank, not too many branches, and they actually smile at you when you go inside! I believe I was shocked into silence when the lady behind the teller booth actualluy asked me how I was doing...with a smile too!

Grabbing the ladies? Moi? I lack the opposable digits to grab much of anything. I have enough problems with trying to grab the remote for the tv. Inappropriate touching? I don't even touch myself.

Way to much info.....
MY EYES! MY EYES!!!!

I guess it really does make you go blind Sis. My eyesight is perfect, how's yours?

I am sooooooooooooooooooooooo telling mom about this. You're luck is up brother. You are grounded, big trouble, big time.

You know, it's rather annoying that allllll through the winter, when I turn on a hot water tap I have to wait 3 hours for hot water (slight dramatization).

I'm tired of freezing my hands off washing them. I mean i can wait for the hot water but I am very very busy!

Oh and, in this house, the hot and cold pipes for the kitchen run through the (unheated) garage (don't ask). Last week the cold water pipe froze, luckily I was on top of it!

Funny. I very rarely run the hot water here because it always comes out warm. (In comparison to Canada.) When we were in Canada for Christmas, I was in the ladies' room at a restaurant, turned on the cold water tap and yelled "Whoo! That's cold!" The lady next to me looked at me like I had just declared that I was an alien. Which, of course, I am.

I knew it!!



Just throwing this in here because I like it

the idea of you screaming WOW THAT'S COLD in the bathroom is way too funny

Good thing it wasn't in the bedroom.

Brother, you need to expand your horizons..... sex in the bedroom is soooooooooooooooooooooo 1950 something .

Expand my horizons? I have enough problems dealing with an expanding waistline. I was going to say something a bit more TLMish but I thought better of it. Besides, Crickey! was in a restaurant not the Minneapolis airport.

Maybe we should add Crickey to the Perv-R-Us entourage

I will be at MSP the next time I see my fiance. And we haven't had sex since Christmas.

That said, Larry Craig's problem (you know, aside from his rampant hypocrisy) is he picked one of the worst possible spots for a tryst in that entire airport. Out of service departure gates in the D concourse make so much more sense. Just saying.

Mommy, mommy, SS just said a bad word. I wonder if the baby change station could hold anything heavier than a baby, say two persons locked in the throes of passionate lovemaking or OB/GYNs practicing their love for women? Just saying.

I'm in a bad mood.
I'm tired, grumpy, etc.
why???? because I am. happens some days.
Miss my mom, haven't met my nephew in person, wish I had a magic wand to cure people's ailments, I cannot smoke anyfreakingwhere, and I don't look like Salma Hayek.

It's been like 2 months since I had sex too...life blows.
LOL
OMG TMI ME!

Oops. I'm sorry I said "haven't". I didn't mean to offend.

Len, I don't look like Selma Hayak either, dammit. My fiance hasn't seemed to notice that, though.

shite.... your life DOES succkk - [takes back her bad mood]
Mumsie, hand Laura the vibrator you bought in St. Catherine's Blvd. while in MTL... come on dude, you bought 47!!!! Help a sister here!!!!
Love you girl.

*sigh* I remember the days where we went five months without sex in between visits. Now that blows! Now, it's maybe once a week...since he works nights and I'm working during the day. GAH!

Thanks though, I have my own vibrators. They are getting me by.
Love you!



Aww Karen

Those were vibrators, sh*t, I thought they were for mixing drinks; they do work great for making screaming orgasms.

HAHAHA good one!

I was half awake this morning and exceeded my allowed attempts logging into my online banking for my US account at Navy Federal.. I called them tonite and they said they'd have to mail out a LETTER to me again to restart my online banking again and it would take 7-10 business days for me to get it and have online access again... WHAT A LOAD OF #*$&#!!!! GAH!!!!! Perhaps it's the vodka talking but HONESTLY wTF? MAIL? WHY CAN"T THEY JUST E_MAIL ME THE RESET PASSWORD FOR HEAVEN"S SAKE!!!!!

I'm sorry but this is ridiculous!
It's ONLINE...shouldn't it all be done online?
I can see waiting like 24 hours before you can log in again but 7 to 10 flippin business days???
That's crazy!!!
Sorry hon

I told the guy on the phone that it was rediculous.. he apologized for the inconvenience, it seems here in the US they are PARANOID about everything to do with someone's personal information.. He basically asked me every security question except - what side of the bed do you sleep on? So he KNEW he was speaking with me.. GAH!!!!

Don't talk to me about the American banking system. I feel pure, unadulterated, RAGE whenever I think about it, because it's neverending bullsh!t. I hear ya on your rant, E. On a funny note, my branch asked me to apply for a job there. I don't think my fuse is long enough, as yet, to deal with their little boxed-in world.
