i went to the bank today in nashville and was told that there was a shortage of cash last week and people were turned away that were trying to withdraw money. and they take forever, when you do withdraw money, trying to discourage it. my hunch is by christmas you won't be able to withdraw large amounts of money. they are not dumb and banks are going to try to prevent you from withdrawing your money. so i put it to the test and guess what. i tried to get a cash advance. i put in 300.00 and it said no. then i tried 20.00 and it said no. i have over 5,000 available for cash advance and i can't get to it. hmmmm! we are going to have a giant mess on our hands come next week and the grocery stores are restocking and raising prices by .20 on everything. they are putting out an entire section (bottom) of stew and stuff. look out guys, by next week, i will have a giant banner on my car saying, "i told you so, hahahahhah"

Laura, make me a banner too:-)

So I don't get it; I think you mean you were trying to get a cash advance from a credit card? Was "it" an ATM that said "no"? Did you try kicking it? Did you spit at the camera? Not that I advocate destruction of private property (which passes the costs onto us, yada, yada), but I think I would have at least gave the camera a nice shot of my finger!
