ITS MY MONEY NOW GIVE IT TO ME DAMMIT

I haven't mentioned a lot about my joys of getting my money for the sale of my condo.

They insisted that it had to be deposited into an American account.  So I had them deposit it into our Maui bank account.  Aryn was there and she went into the bank with death certs and wills etc...and a power of attorney requesting that they close the account and send me a cheque.  She was reassured that that would be no problem, they just needed a letter from me with my signature.  Easy peasy.  So on August first it was deposited.  I sent the letter immediately.  I still don't have the money.

I won't go into long boring details but between the Bank of Hawaii insisting that the cheque be sent any way but by regular mail and the TD bank here putting a permanent hold on it, yes, permanent, I just might never get my money!  That's pretty much three months now.  I have purposely kept my cool through much of this and not got angry or impatient, but I'm not sure how long thats going to last!  Not only could I be making good interest with the money but I would be able to pay down the line of credit I have.  Its not good business to have huge sums of money floating around in outer space.

The other boondoggle I have run into is getting the forms from the passport office to send with my passport to Que. to get a 'true copy' of my passport.  Godammit!!!

I actually went down to service Canada but they were worse than useless.  I phoned passport Canada and after explaining over and over how their website won't let me, or six other people who have tried on their own computers on my behalf, download the two forms, the woman in Ottawa says, ' just a minute please' and when she comes back informs me that 'well I just tried on mine and its working just fine."  Really?  Did she actually just do and say that?  So I asked, "Well then, where are you?  I will come right over and you can print them for me."  Ottawa.  Exactly.  Stupid cow!  In the end she is mailing them to me.  The IRS sent me another demand for the passport copy.  They need it to give me a tax number.  They will just have to wait.

Well I best get at it.  Crap to do...lots of crap.  TTYL
