I was trying to apply for another house last night, but I needed the social security numbers for Mom and my brother, but for some reason Mom couldn't find my brother's number, I couldn't stay awake, and I had a thousand things to do this morning, so I went to bed before 01.
Mom walked in, made some annoyed noise, and put down a sticky note with my brother's social security number, and then taped another one to the bathroom mirror.
The site was awesome. I put in his information, everything but that number, and then it logged me out, dumping everything while I tried to find his social security number.
I logged back in, entered everything I could, tried to save, and apparently I needed to enter all information first.
Obviously, I needed to enter Vinnie's social security number:
Steve Martin used to have brown hair!
Or maybe something that obviously isn't his number. I cannot imagine forgetting and trying to submit, but I would rather not having them try to run a made-up number.
I woke up at 0530, tried to go back to sleep, couldn't, finally submitted my brother's information and saved, and now I need to wait for Mom to wake up before I can enter hers.
I grabbed an ice chest, took a picture of some elk, drove to Aliberto's, bought a breakfast burrito and a jamaica for Mom, drove to Home Depot, bought my fourth replacement toilet seat in 5 years, sat down by the bathroom and tried to figure out what the heck else I needed, bought the seat, walked to Walmart, bought some sodas, sparkling water, and $5 worth of ice(!), drove home, dropped off my purchases, drove back half a mile, chased down a dog, posted her picture on Nextdoor, drove to the school, walked home, parked Mom's car on the lawn, hosed off the pollen, hosed off my floor mat, hung it up to dry, dried her windows, parked her car next to the house, finally ate my breakfast, called up the guys from Church, and it rang 9 times and then hung up.
It hung up, right, not one of the guys from Church who said they would come and help?!
One of them just called back and it went far too much like this:
but he said they would come over.
Anyway, I came to look up how to remove the water pump again, but found the page for Mom's shiny new range hood first, and decided to order that while I remembered.
I should have The fourth-best price I found on-line was actually in-stock [allegedly].
It asked if I wanted to use ID.me for a Veteran's discount.
Sir, yes Sir!
They no longer offer ID.me discounts and then ID.me showed me places that did.
I searched for the range hood to no avail, so I went back.
It asked if I wanted to use Veteran's Advantage for a Veteran's discount.
That actually works, right?
Right?!
After verifying my military service, e-mail address, and phone number, I qualified for 3% off!
That was $5.49!
I also am supposed to receive 3% cash back from Rakutin.
It was $194.25, so my final price will be $!83.27?
Actually, I used my credit card, so I should receive another 1%.
Yay.
I am going to hire a handyman to install it.
