Money stuff and a question

It was not a good day for the Evans family moneywise on friday. I got hit for a different student loan that I THOUGHT was brought current and no, not only isn't it, I now owe more penalties than I did when I made nearly 1000$ in payments. I need to cough up another 600$. I call the loan officer and leave a screaming message at her because this was the loan that they were using my payments in early 05 to pay off a loan that was in deferment while saying I was late on this loan. It took her from 2/05 until 12/05 to fix it only for me to find out it's NOT fixed and it's on my credit report. I mentioned the word 'lawyer' in my rant.

She calls me today and says sorry for calling so early but I wanted to talk to you in person. Did I wake you? I give the standard answer for when I'm awoke 'no, no of course not.' I look over at the clock it's 7:00AM!!! Holy Hell. two hours before I have to get up (Mondays are my late work days). Oh shit. I'll never go back to sleep now (and I didn't) She says it shouldn't be on my credit report and that she's taken off all the penalities (ah, 'lawyer' the magic word) and wants me to run my credit report to be sure it's NOT on there.

As for my parents here's a word to the wise IF you invest money in non-401 K's like IRA's and the like ALWAYS keep record of your initial deposit, even though they tell you you don't have to beyond 7 years. Mom and Dad just withdrew money from one they started when Dad was at US Steel back in the early 70's and the IRS says they have to pay tax on this (they already did back in the 70's) and may have to pay penalities for not claiming this money. Mom's like but it's our retirement money which is exempt from certain things. The agent got snotty because there's no intial deposit paperwork (mostly because it's 30 years old) and asked why did my parents NOT invest it in a Roth IRA where this wouldn't have been an issue and mom replied because they didn't EXIST then. The IRS agent couldn't understand that. Head desk. off to look for MY initial despoit into one of my IRAs so I can put the fucker in a security box until I'm old.

and the question, mostly for the UK crew, what sort of slang might Spike use for a condom? He's trying to give Dawn the big sex talk (Dawn's hiding under the couch in her formal gown)

for those who were concerned

That horrendous taste is back in my mouth. I have an appointment to see the dentist tomorrow. I get to race from classroom to dental chair. eep.

I'm giving a lab test on the cranial nerves, nerve plexuses and neural testing that we've done (hearing, eye charts, reflexes etc) who wants to bet the only nerve plexus any one remembers is the one that has the mnemonic S 2, 3, 4 keeps the penis off the floor?
