Yesterday began our lengthy process of going after the bank. He went to the discrimination people, and as expected, he was told they could only act if there were either witnesses or groups of people discriminated against. Still, he went ahead and filed formal discrimination charges.

Now it’s onto the next step – finding the greediest lawyer we can. Since we don’t see how we could get millions out of this, he hopes to find a greedy lawyer who can talk them into some kind of settlement while avoiding going to court. He thinks there’s a good chance that in time we can get something like a $40,000 settlement which would be great. We’d each take a couple of Gs to splurge with, and of course, I’d get tons of dolls!

He said he’s actually counting more so on me predicting the lottery numbers, but as I told him, if that’s what he’s truly counting on, then he’s going to be awfully disappointed. As far as I still know, that’s way out of my league. I’ll find out in a few hours once they’re posted online if I came close on any of the numbers, but I know I didn’t. I’ll still try to work on it, though.

Meanwhile, he’s going to apply for unemployment.

My many braids have received their first washing. I love, love, love having my hair braided! I just wish it didn’t take forever to do. The only thing I don’t like about it is that it’s rather hard to scratch my scalp and all the short wispy new-grown hairs that are all over my head. Normally, you brush those down into the rest of your hair, but it can’t be done with a head full of braids. I still like it, though, cuz it gives me a break from the brushing, detangling, shedding, etc. It’s much easier to wash and dry, too. We’ll see how long it lasts.
