Ever See a Copper Dime?

My eight year old daughter Rosie was sorting through her change and said to me, "Have you ever seen a copper dime?" I nearly shit when I saw it. It's a 2005D Roosevelt dime WITHOUT IT'S ZINC COATING! Wow. I would appreciate professional numismatic opinions on this mistake.

Surreal Trip to Wal Mart

So there I was ...In Wal Mart with my daughter.

It was in the paper aisle that I started to notice there was an unofficial Sarah Palin look alike contest going on. Unofficial because there weren't any signs posted.

I spotted a Mother-Daughter-Daughter team. I asked Mom if she and her teenaged daughters were doing the Palin look on purpose. The up-do, the glasses, the red shade of lipstick past the corners of the mouth? She said, "yes".

I asked if I could take a picture that would post on the web.

Mom declined. But my interest was pegged. By the time I left, I spotted six more of various ages roaming around the store.

I was reminded of the Diana look that even my wife imitated way back when.

When women start changing their hair style, they're serious.

Makes me wonder how many Sarahs we'll see trick or treating.

WaMu Tries to Sell Itself.

Literally. Washington Mutual put itself up for auction today in an attempt to avoid being the next bank failure.

I tried to balance my checking account at WaMu last Saturday and this is what happened.

1. I called the Customer Service Center and there was no option to talk to a real person.

2. The folks at my local branch did not know how to get and operator on the line. "Press 0####, no wait, maybe it's 0#0#0#0#."

3. When I got a hold of a "Customer Service Specialist" (I still do not know how that happened), they could not answer any question I posed. They were polite though.

4. Wamu could not tell me how much I had in my checking account. They offered the following choices:

a. -73.25 from their website.
b. 46.10 from the phone service.
c. -32.46 also from the website. It changed from -73.25 with absolutely no activity.
d. Still -32.46 after depositing $120.
e. 84.96 from the screen that the Customer Service Rep was using.

5. My ATM card still does not work and they're not sure why.


Gur agrees,,,Wamu sucks.
