When it rains it pours

They say bad things happen in threes. Although they also say that sneezes come in threes, so i have no idea if its true or not, but i've had my three.

THE FIRST BAD THING:

The last month has been full of wisdom teeth and root canal issues. I must say, i am a pain wimp, except of course for the strong slap accross the tush by my current "friend with benefits", but it wasn't bad at all on the mouth. Hurt the wallet and the pre-pain was excrutiating.

THE SECOND BAD THING:

I have a jewelry designer out of LA that makes great stuff. I put a few of her necklaces online and lo and behold the bulldogs for Van Cleef are after me. I didn't advertise it as Van Cleef, didn't use the word alhambra, which I might add was a word long before Van Cleef began thinking they were the only people in the world who could make a clover. So i went to an older version of my current friend with benefits to represent me, all i can tell you is i'm not eager to being sued in Federal Court.

THE THIRD BAD THING:

Today, i was going through my morning computer ritual, email on yahoo, email on aol, facebook, Stephanie Klein Blog and then my online banking (i know, odd order). To my surprise, my accounts appeared overdrawn and when i went to the details, i noted that there were charges for over $2,700 for 2 home depots and a glass company. PANIC! I call customer service and get a pakistani, ARGGGGHHHH, (i'll save that for another post). I hang up and run to the bank, where they proceed to deactivate my debit cards and smile and tell me I now need to call the fraud department, "and thank you for banking at WAMU" ARGGGGGHHHHH.

Fraud Department tells me that the transactions are pending and until they go through there is no claim that can be initiated.

Tell me good things come in SIXES!
