Foiled

[clevermanka]

Several weeks ago, I noticed my contact lenses were getting sticky. Time for my eye appointment! I scheduled the exam and settled down to a couple weeks of itchy eyes. Yesterday I realized that my appointment (at Crandon & Crandon on Mass. St.) is the same day as The Lawrence Sidewalk Sale. The office doesn't have another afternoon appointment until August 5. I hope I can find a parking place closer than Kentucky St. I'm not waiting until after August 5 for new contacts. Fucking sidewalk sale. Have fun, stuology!

I'm trying to decide if The TreadDesk is awesome or ridiculous. Or both. Whichever, I know I'd be motion-sick in about fifteen seconds.

Thanks to madmatmax for this stellar piece of News That Proves Our World Is Totally Batshit Insane : Wells Fargo Bank Sues Itself. I have no idea if this is idiocy on the part of the bank or idiocy on the part of our *cough* "legal system," but it's idiocy in any case. I swear, I'm tempted to start stashing my money in a mattress.

I vote both on the Tread Desk. I bet I could do it, though, since I can read or watch TV while working on a treadmill...

Crazy. I'd rather be outside. In the world.

Sad when you can have better returns with putting the money in a mattress....

as for wells fargo... well look at it this way, they got the idea some place. (here are a few that i can remember.....)

A guy sued him self when he crashed the city truck he drove in to his own car
A man sues him self for sexual harasment.
A homeless man in San Fran sued him self for 5 million dollars

I just wished they would not do so many stupid trials like this......

I can see how it would be great for the office. I bet my back wouldn't be so stiff after four hours in front of my computer. I'd need to reconsider what I consider office-appropriate footwear, though.

Our tax dollars at work!

Too true. You could do the opposite 9-to-5 thing where you wear sexy shoes to and from the office, but stash your sneakers under your desk.

i use to collect odd trials and government grant thoughts. Some the other trials we helped pay for was a guy sued god (nebraska), another one sued his church for the fact he lost his religion. As for grants we helped pay for them... How long it takes ketchup to come out a bottle and the other (a personal favorite) to see if mice made love better to tuba music or violins. (oddly enough the did better with violins) Tho i still want to see which they like better Barry White or violins.....

Heh. I have my dental work scheduled for the afternoon of the sidewalk sale. My dentist is Dr Gegenheimer at 8th & NH. Woopty woo.

Oh the parking distress! (I just wanted to use the ouch icon, now you've seen what I got up last night)

Treaddesk? I've got to see that.

Sue yourself? Brilliant, although in my case it breaks Steve Dallas' first rule of litigation. "Never sue a poor person."

The T is free that day, if you live on a route or will be heading downtown from campus.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Gross. Good luck.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Hmmm! Something to consider. I will be going straight from campus! I would just need to figure out how to get home. Thank you for the tip!

And also, there is no fucking way in nine circles of hell that the TreadDesk is anything but a bad idea. LOL but with a side of head-shaking WUT.

In some states, the manner in which the mortgage/deed of trust process is set up, a lender must sue to foreclose, and hence must sue all other related parties to the transaction (for notice purposes).

Wells Fargo is simply doing what is necessary under the law in that instance. It isn't really that uncommon in such states.

Like I said, "I have no idea if this is idiocy on the part of the bank or idiocy on the part of our legal system, but it's idiocy in any case."

Absolute idiocy.

I read that story on Wells Fargo yesterday, I figured they were doing it so that they could claim the second mortgage that they lost via the lawsuit (to themselves) as bad debt and write it off as a tax deduction. Then I got a little worried that I thought about that myself. The mortgage to our house has been sold twice and is now being handled by Wells Fargo. :(

I'm waiting to open our next bank statement to have it show that our money is gone. http://www.southparkstudios.com/clips/222624/

Ew. Good luck.

The mattress might sue you...

That is because, among its other stellar attributes, Wells Fargo blows goats for quarters.
