Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for August 08, 2021

Sisters are forever!

Well this is embarrassing.

You can’t cancel someone else’s card. That’s just stupid.

If you have their info, you can!

The client is an interesting shade of chartreuse!

Isn’t the waiter Val’s hairdresser?

Why isn’t she using her company’s card?

oh dear…

CENSORED ! ! ! ! (After all this is a ‘family’ strip).

Joan is an idiot. Why didn’t she call Val first? Of course, knowing how careless and financially idiotic her sister is maybe Val shouldn’t have lent it to her anyway.

Not so easy to cut up the metal cards like that…

I know someone whose spending was out of control so she had her credit card stopped…but her husband was on a business trip to another state and had the same card! Ooops!

Does anyone actually cut your card up in front of you? Seems a bit dramatic.

Got that right…..

This is why carrying 3 cards is recommended — sometimes a restaurant’s bank [in small towns] won’t do Amex or Discover.

Talk about getting ahead of herself.

Oops once again bad communication.

If you think you may have lost your card, put a hold on it. That stops all point of sale transactions but permits scheduled payments. Then if you find it you can “un-hold” it.

“What do you mean, ‘Oops’! When I say oops I know why I’m saying oops. Now why are you saying oops?” — A once-great stand-up comic who fell into shame.

Alwaays have a backup!

Time to cancel at least one sister unless she shows up to wash the dishes.
