I know it offers no comfort, but as a student of history I can assure that it is an experience common to every generation throughout time. 

 

Yeah, those of us who have studied well, know about rules that our world develops on a spiral. Let's hope that this spiral is endless.

Amazing work as usual!

Very nice. I like it.

Can't find the time or energy to do anything remotely artistic myself at the moment.

[inkstainedruth]

Yeah, me neither.  Having enough trouble fighting my way through some of this year's NaPoWriMo prompts.  Plus spent way too much time this afternoon after having the bank branch we have our checking account with and the corporate customer service department pointing fingers at each other.... 😡 😡 😡

I had ordered two packages of checks recently and when the order came in the mail yesterday I was charged as if I'd gotten those two packages (but ONLY got two books of checks).   For possibly more than I'd previously paid for TEN books of checks (which I'd THOUGHT I WAS  ordering).  

Now waiting for a callback from the bank branch manager.   But, as I said to the supervisor of the person on their website's chat window -- it was ALREADY pretty much past the bank branch's hours of being up open when I tried CALLING their customer service #.... (and, of course, it's now after 5 PM ET) and I FULLY expect there to be more finger pointing coming up.  But I flat out told the second person in customer service that the person who's going to soon be pointing fingers is ME.  Only, *I* will be pointing fingers at them to the FTC AND the consumer division of the Attorneys General for both where their headquarters is and the state where I live (and where the branch we opened the account with is ALSO located).

Yessss, you've got it down to an art, so I guess this is apropos, Karen. 

 

[inkstainedruth]

WTAF?!

@Just J Did you really just call me a "Karen"??  I can't believe that you're that much of an a-hole.  I expect that sort of BS on FB -- NOT on FPN....

Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

[Just J]

But I THOUGHT you SAID your REAL name WAS Karen. Sorry IF I got OVERLY FaMiLiAr tHeRe Ms. StAiNeD. 

AND WHAT do you MEAN by "a-hole"? I ONLY speak ENGLISH, & DON'T know WHAT that MEANS. Please ELUCIDATE.

Now you're REALLY being an a-hole.  I'll be MORE THAN HAPPY to report your posts.

That is an excellent idea.
And don't forget to report your own posts with the swear words.

But you know what? It would be best if you both argued via PM instead of doing it in public. Thank you.

Just played with a new gray ink made by Tintenlabor®:

 

 

 

 

The ink is called "Alpennebel" by Tintenlabor®. I think I like it.
