My wife and I are going through some old photos. Wow. I don't ever remember being that young!

And as for that hot little tamale that I'm married to!

Banks and Paypal, I just created a new one, I'm in the process of withdrawing all of My savings into a non linked(to ebay or such) paypal account. As soon as It's done I'll kill My savings account as It's a farce. But I'll keep My checking where It is and I should be solvent before the week is out. BofA or not, I pulled Direct Deposit for the moment too.

Yeah. Banks suck. I dumped mine over 15 years ago for the credit union. Better interest rates, no fees, no sales pitches, and they have never turned me down for a loan when I needed one. Instead of gambling with my money, they carefully loan it to my neighbors and co-workers. They're what banks USED to be.

Yeah, Credit Unions, Out here their for RR employees or the Marines only, No one else, So I've made a saving elsewhere and as soon as I can I'll close My saving account with BofA, I'll keep the checking open as It's free, Just to twist the knife in a bit.

Yeah, I wouldn't doubt It. Banks have merged and been allowed to get fatter. :(

I am not sure that is exactly true for you. I think you live in San Bernardino and if so, you could use Wescom . We don't have a credit union at work and if we want one, this is what they tell us.

Can you say Savings and Loan Association ...
Anyone remember them?
http://bankimplode.com/blog/category/credit-union-failures/

There aren't as many credit unions and they are just a cap gun size pop compared to the big banks ka-boom, but they made real estate loans just like everyone else. Investigate before you invest!


Now there is a dumb blonde joke for Thursday, but I'm not going to drop the s-bomb in a thread title.

BTW, new rule, if you have a tag Volunteer tester maybe you aren't going to win here unless you are also playing in Seti Beta here. :P Posters are needed in Beta's forums.

Possibly a stupid question but how does one get a volunteer tester tag? I have one when I post over there, but not here.

After you let them inject you with experimental drugs you get a tag. :)

It is supposed to be automagic, but if you don't use the same e-mail address for both accounts it doesn't work. PM Eric as it hasn't worked magically for you.

Hello, I love the little rodents. Do I win?

Ok how much computer skills do you need to be a tester? My skills stink. If it was not for the unified installer I could not run App Opps.

Same amount of skills as they require here. It works the same way: they send you workunits, your computer crunch's them. There is no need to get involved with the nitty gritty stuff unless you want to.

My computer skills are less than yours and they took me. :)
