So….I just had to make a couple weird phone calls, not so much weird, but just phone calls that I didn’t feel comfortable making from my cubical.
The deal that my father and I have between us is that I will probably end up inheriting all of his guns and weapons since my sister probably won’t want them and has really not shown much interest in them. Over the summer I wanted to “have” or “permanently borrow” a couple of the guns NOW since he has not shot a single one in over 15 years and guns are expensive and I did not have the funds to go buy my own. Later on my dad came to me with this idea or “deal” that he had for me. He is a life member of the NRA and as a life member he had the opportunity to give the gift of a legacy life membership. This is a life membership linked to his and at a HIGHLY discounted rate. If I wanted the guns then I would have to join the NRA. Fine. Not my first choice of a club to join, but I do ENJOY my right to bare arms and I am willing to put my money where my mouth is. So in August he gave me the paperwork and I sent in my money. They cashed the check and I forgot all about it. Fast forward to a couple weeks ago and as I’m going thru my finances for 2008 I realize that they cashed my check and I have not heard a thing from them. Well…it turns out that there is a legacy life membership account opened and associated with my father’s account except there is no person assigned to it. Apparently they sent him the forms to fill out and he probably threw them away thinking they were junk mail. So…I had to try and call my dad and have him call the NRA to give them all my info. Because if they were to send the stuff via the mail again, it would take 4-6 weeks for them to send it out and another 4-6 weeks for them to process it. WHATEVER. Add to this that my father is practically deaf and cannot talk on the phone very well. This is everything that just lead up to be sequestering myself in an unused office and yelling at my dad about the NRA. Pfew...
