I’m at the bank canceling my cards. Lost my wallet. Punched the steering wheel till it broke. That scared my lady so she went home. My license plate tags and new registration, IRS refund check and a stack of receipts I’ll never get reimbursed for are all gone. And they offer me lollipops.
there’s no pen on that chain. don’t get desperate. I can get you pens.

Rather than ask why would opted for the paper IRS check, let me just say I am sorry for your loss.

Wow. I’m so sorry that happened to you, Jon boy. That sounds like the kind of thing that would happen to me, sans the hitting of the steering wheel. Phoebe will be ok. You’re not nuts. And the credit cards you’ll get back. The check is a bummer, but karma will repay you in other ways down the line.
Hang in there.
(hope you took all the lollies…)

i suppose the fact that this is an amazing lollypops at the bank photo is little concession…but it is an excellent photo. sorry to hear about your loss, jon, but i agree that the karma will come back around to you in a good way. i hope the wheel is on the mend.
take care, buddy

man, the irs will kick you a new check after six months or so, unless the asshole that found it is able to cash it. I somehow doubt there is another mofo that looks like you wandering around. Too bad about the steering wheel, how are the knuckles? The explaining to the girl about the anger, well it is a long involved process and is really hard to put into words.

your identity summed in a photo,your credit history wrapped, swaddling, in a card….work your ass off for a year, tithing to a government that fails to recognize the sweat and tears that bathe your labor….some asshole laps up the golden opportunity to thief your identity….damn. somehow the sweet confection of a lolly ain’t worth it….and sorry your lady swayed….the frightening wrath of anger: sometimes us ladies gotta be old school and comfort our menfolk…

I didn’t expect all this. You’re good people. I need to apologize to my lady for freaking out in front of her. No one wants to see that. And I want to thank all of you for keeping me going.
I had to get the refund mailed to me Lyle, because the fucking online return wouldn’t recognize my bank for automatic deposit.
Just today I realized I had thrity dollars worth of stamps in there, including my favorites, the pollinator series…
