With all the claims that people are hacking into different privacy guarded accounts I have been known to check our own personal bank accounts out several times a week, obsessive, no in my opinion just careful.
Since we use our debit and credit cards quite often, and they, the powers that be tell you to keep track of all that and you should, really too. Ours are quite fluid since almost as much that goes in goes out in our checking at least. The fact is that fortunately it is not too difficult to keep track of since I do it all online. We also have automatic deposit which I do think most everyone today has with the advent of mailbox robberies that started to hit the news waves years ago.
Any-who this morning I was thrilled but baffled when we did receive email notification that our electronic deposit of our tax refund had been put into our account; the only thing that seemed odd, was the fact that the amount was not correct. We had filed online through the IRS site, which is free to people whose incomes fall below a certain amount, and we qualified, and we have done so for years. But for some unknown reason sometimes we had to pay a minimal fee.
And so when I saw that the amount was not our sixty-eight bucks that I thought was coming back to us but quite a bit more; actually five hundred bucks more I just knew that they had made a mistake, and if I was dishonest and didn’t call them that they would eventually catch up with us and when we didn’t have it anymore by spending it foolishly on something like medical bills, they would ask for it back!
And so I called them to let them know.
And after I gave them all our information, and told them that we were supposed to get only the sixty-eight back they said they had made a correction on our tax form apparently we qualified for that ‘M’ form or some such thing and that the amount was correct since we had received the two hundred and fifty last spring, wow, what a nice surprise it is ours to do with whatever we so wish to do!
I see a nest-egg in our future.
I should have known that my palms don’t lie to me…oh you are wondering whatever I could be talking about, why itchy palms of course! Have you never heard of that before?
It pertains to… oh I really don’t know what it pertains to but every time it happens we seem to get money in our favor coming to us!
I know, I know it sounds silly, and I really don’t know if it is a superstition for others but to us it has been true over the years.
It seems left means in our favor and right is paying out.
Just like when a bird dies that someone that you care about will too?
I guess that one is just mine and a wee bit scary too.
Although, I do think I heard of an ancient Asian superstition that has something to also do with birds and death, but I could be wrong I have been wrong before…
On that peculiar note I will bid you all a very good night, count those blessings and we will too!
PS: GO USA in those Olympics!
PSS: And you go too Bill Clinton, happy you are doing so well!
Speaking My Mind is about: Tobi, who is a middle aged, no, oh all right a slightly over the hill woman with all the imperfections that go with that, and this concerns her daily life's perceptions and experiences.
