If you're an XM subscriber, and would like a credit for the outage earlier in the week, call 1-800-967-2346. You'll get about eighty-seven cents. That and four bucks will buy you a cup of coffee. ;-)

I adore Tom Petty's music. You Wreck Me just played and I was reminded how much I truly like this song. "You'll be the girl at the high school dance, I'll be the boy in the corduroy pants" I don't know why I like that so much...I just do.

You know when you get your new bank card/credit card/debit card and it has that sticker on it, with the number you're supposed to call to activate it? Don't throw that away. Not even if you find out the card supposedly came pre-activated (oh *that's* a good idea). Because, if you throw it away, you'll never find it again. (And if you decide not to heed my advice, make sure you've called the number on a cell phone first, so you can retrieve it without having to call the bank and feel dumb. :)

The reason I know all of this is 'cause when I called to activate it, I thought they were asking for the "primary account holder's info", when they were actually asking for the primary *cardholder's* info. So, both Jeff and I tried putting in his birthdate, and it wouldn't go through. We thought that maybe the bank had it wrong, so he called today to find out, and that's when they told him about our mistake *and* that it was pre-activated. Which it may have been, but then deactivated when we put in the wrong info. Or they're just insane (could be both, of course). So, now I'm all confused and I'm going o do it tomorrow, when he's here, so that I can put it on speaker and make sure what I'm hearing is what they're saying. My current card doesn't go dead till next month anyway.

See what happens when you try to do things early to make life easier? *le sigh* ;)
