Anywho, how was your mini vaction, minus the IRS poo poo?

Am keeping the new one, and closing the old one as soon as the last bill has gone through on that account.

The vacation was fun, except wee were quite limited in our options with so much of our funds cut off.

If not, then the world really sucks and you're probably stuck with acknowledging the loss.  I assume you would've done the former if possible, which means you are seriously unfortunately here.

My dad has not disclosed what all he lost, as I'm not sure if he even knows exactly yet, but I ended up losing 140 from the bank, but I was finally able to get the other fees waived (though, I took a big hit by negotiating, as I had to make two payments instead of the one as I'd expected for two of them).  I've come to terms with the fact that poo poo does, indeed, happen from time to time.
