my mind is somewhere else…….

Read Chris’s post first and then…
I discovered the same policy after my son informed me they wanted to charge him to cash his paycheck. It was written from the account of a local Nashville business that had been around for decades. My son had a checking account at a small community bank and we had just moved back into Nashville. He had choices..leave his account where it was and drive a few extra minutes or open an account closer to home. What _was not_ an option was a BofA account. Their crappy policy , designed as they put it “to encourage people to open checking accounts at BofA” had just the opposite effect…good plan guys!. He chose Avenue Bank here in Nashville and it was a perfect choice but it made me think “hey , what about the others?” How many minimum wage employees get charged weekly? What policies do they have in place for low income families? And since this particular branch was on the same corner as a bus stop, were they willing to consider that not every person owns a car and has the luxury of driving to a different bank? BofA was not able to offer anything in the way of policies and I am not able to suggest anyone do business with them. I learned to ask more from my bank…beyond the policies that apply to me….to learn what they do for _everybody_

in real life. i live in france. you may remind me that my physical body is in the US and i will be quick to tell you that is just a technicality…a glitch in the system being worked on by technicians trying to put my life back together for me.

If you are lovers in Paris, you forget about the multitude of people around you and just kiss in wild abandon
~ Dr. Antonio Comia
in real life, i love dangerously. lately, i broke into an all-out-hair-pulling-cat-fight with this fact. for a few torturous moments, i forgot who i am-that i fall in love and i like, no love, the feeling of raw, sweet b-Phenylethylamine rushing through my body with the intensity of a hurricane ! i’m dizzy, distracted. i can think of nothing else. scientists know the low levels of serotonin are not surprisingly close to those of OCD ! oh yes, monoamines, i feel you. dopamine. serotonin, adrenalin (being in love with being in love). testosterone. mmmmm…and then oxytocin and vasopressin (optional, of course)
this is not limited to beautiful, french men.. i fall in love with perfume and the authors of books i love. i fall in love with lyrics and words of wit. i fall in love with paris each time i return, leaving me wandering the city in a thick, pink, blissful fog. however, love is fickle and risky. it blindsides you and runs away. it bites. memories of that hurt are not easily , if ever, faded.
but i submit. i am happily falling in love with my quirky endorphin addicted self with a full frontal hug and breathless anticipation to feel it all over again.
side note: i know…weak middle, even weaker ending….i’m in love!
