Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!
Good good...glad to hear it.

I have no idea what you're talking about but I believe you only have less than 24 hours to resolve it!!!!!!

It is a bank. or credit union or whatever. They carter to service folks so they are really really good at online and remote banking and stuff. They also have excellent insurance rates. One nice thing they do is they reimburse ATM fees every month. So when you uses someone else's atm, they pay you back out of their pocket. How cool is that? I also keep a local bank account but I do most of my stuff with them since their online banking is so great.
Two weeks ago, Big'ol got a letter from the service. His credit rating took a big hit at one, and just one, of the bureaus. So in tracking it down, he discovered that TransUnion had his credit report so fouled up that he couldn't even see it online. He ordered a hard copy. It arrived today.
Lots of good info here.
Doesn't look like I qualify, in any case. You have to be active duty, retired or recently separated - or a child or dependent of either someone who meets those requirements or someone who is a USAA member.
But I'm glad it made things easier for ya, Jen!
Too bad, because they're about the nicest customer service I've ever had at a bank - super easy to deal with over the phone. I hate calling 800 numbers and talking to people but they make it easy.
My car payment goes up $30 a month but I will be paid off in two years, rather than 2.5, so that's about even.
Paying off early is always nice.
Ungh...speaking of cars and costs, I really need to get some more repairs done soon. I can only put it off so long. Need new shocks and struts, they said, to the tune of at lease six hundred bucks.
But I suppose overall the van's not doing too bad for a ten year old vehicle. Hopefully I can get at least a couple more years out of it. Car payments are not my idea of fun.
Home. And I'm all kinds of not motivated to do much tonight. Should exercise, but it's rainy and bleh and work was bleh and I'm hungry and wanna just watch a movie. < /whine>
I ain't motivated either. Dealing with phone people all day wore me out. Talon's being very industrious though. He's almost done putting the wood and sheetrock on the outside of our bar. Once that's done, we can finish mudding the room and get ready for painting.
No car payments would be nice. Didn't vansama get shocks and struts recently?
Did some other repairs...was told I needed shocks replaced soon, but I put it off. And now the whole body feels slightly tilted...so I'm thinkin' something ain't right.
I did get some parts replaced in the rear shocks, and it *seems* recent...but really thinking about it, that was almost right after I bought the van four years ago, and I did a lot of driving in really cold conditions and wet conditions and over dirt roads and all after that. It's not surprising things are rusted under there.
Go out when it's snowing, get someone to rear-end you, problem solved ;-p
Our main problem over the years is that folks always spell our last name incorrectly. SirKit was denied credit at a store once because they couldn't find any credit history, even though we'd had several credit cards by that time. When I called about it, I asked them the spelling they had for our last name, sure enough, they'd spelled it wrong. SO annoying.
Erkay...I think I'd rather go about this the conventional way...
I've kind of been planning to spend the money...so I'm OK with that. But it's inconvenient having to put it in the shop and that.
Ohfertheluvva...
It's always somethin' with you, Corin :~)
They handle banking, insurance, investments. When I was interviewing my senior year of college, USAA was the absolute very best place in town to work (second was Church's Chicken). Not only were the benefits fantastic, it was the only place in town that used APL (click on the link ...!)
