Last night I saw a dollar charge on my two discover cards. I started to dislike that card. I never look at interest rates just pay it. Then by accident I saw the rate of interest on my wife card. I told them why is the interest so high on my wife's card. Her credit score is 790. They gave me a bull shit answer. So the next day I paid off her card. I told them I will pay off my card as well. My interest rate on mine is 11 percent. But because the interest they charged to my wife I paid off my card as well. Last night I saw the 1 charge they do it that before companies make a charge. I have not used the cards after I paid them off. I saw the charge was from Seattle. I don't buy shit from the west coast. Discover you can freeze the account so I froze both accounts. My wife had a saving account with them. She gets a whole 1.10 percent. So I told her take the money out and I will invest here on fixing condo's here. I never touch her money but discover sucks.

This was a debit card so it took out the cash as soon as the guy or girl made the transactions. I filled out a form to get my cash back. You should get a Citi card. They have the best rewards program and will debit the difference on your account if another store has the same item(s) you purchased for less money. American Express and Citi cards are what I use when purchasing tickets for concerts. They give you the better seats and deal during the presages. JetBlue has a card I use to purchase my airline tix but that went from 0% to like 12% so I have to pay it off right away. It gets me my miles so I like it. Have 20k miles to use for my trip this year. smile Best day to travel I notice is Friday the 13th. lol

As far as putting money in the bank, its a fn joke. I have a rate of 1.4% which is hilarious because I remember getting 7.75% not too long ago. Stock market is the way to go. ROTH IRA best.

I use AE almost exclusively for the points. I am switching to Citi after my August vacation because it's zero interest through 2019.

Investments are in US Treasury debt, especially I-Bonds. That keeps it all simple for me.

Well, congratulate me. I just returned from Austin where I won a gender discrimination mediation. I'm getting a settlement, so I may take all the Board members to lunch.

I prepared a pleading for which they were unprepared; knocked their socks off.

I was talking to a friend about noses the other day.

Do women see big noses as a sign of masculinity or is it just a bad thing?

If you have installed Kaspersky anti-virus, you might read this from CNET:

"With Moscow-based security firm Kaspersky Lab under increasing political and technical scrutiny due to allegations of working closely with Russian intelligence, now might be the time to spy alternative antivirus software for your Windows or Android device. It's important to note that Kaspersky Lab strongly denies these claims."

Have you seen the Corvette Z06? Normally I see the yellow ones around town. But, as I was driving home the other day, I saw one that was like a matte black with black wheels. I could not keep my eyes off that car!!! It was the coolest looking corvette I've ever seen. I have to go test drive one. It excited me that much grin

Too bad I don't work at the Chevy dealership anymore. I bet it's hard to get those as an owner, though.

You know what I hate? People who put other people on the spot and ask if they can borrow money.

Some prick my girlfriend works with asked for 20 off her and, she, being the kind of person who finds it hard to say no, gave it to him and he promised he would give it back on "Thursday".

9 times out of 10 people like this have no intention of paying money back.

Now I'm going to have to throw my weight around if he starts making excuses on Thursday.

Some people are so fucking weak and slimy.

No matter how desperate my financial circumstances were I would never dream of asking to borrow money off someone, unless they were a lifelong friend or close family member; I have too much self respect.

So fucking slimy.

Don't take your eye off this ball and its two nuclear powers:

"India’s military buildup near Chinese border also shows that the situation has become a tinderbox. It has been revealed that the Indian Army has moved over 100 Russian tanks T-72 to Ladakh, a disputed border between IIndian state of Kashmir and Tibet under Chinese rule. Both countries are preparing for the worst situation they could face in the midst of deteriorating relations. In addition, Indian Navy has sent three warships to the disputed South China Sea to plan training with Malaysian Navy, showing that there’s nothing strange with seeing any military conflicts between the two countries.

Of course, China is also preparing for the worst. According to military sources in Beijing, China has deployed more troop along the India border, showing off its will to respond immediately if the worst really happens."

I won't loan money to relatives and expect to get it back you won't get it back. Look at my older brother he owes me about 20 thousand. He was giving me 60 dollars a month smile then he kept forgetting what he old me. I never expected it back so I said forget about it and he did smile my brother fully recovered from his triple bypass and still works from home and his office. He is not poor at 80 yrears old he make about 120 thousand a year he is an industrial engineer.

They might see it as a sign of a big appendage because a big nose is a big appendage, but big hands and feet seal that deal. smile except their is a exception to every rule. It's Howard Stern according to Howard stern. But having really big money money helped him get his hot wife and the Presidents wife no doubt.

Just got back from Pittsburgh. Drove straight through in 21 hrs. No problems. Ate yesterday near Heinz Field at Jerome Bettis' restaurant. Not bad.

Visited the old neighborhoods; Pittsburgh has changed. Alot of it has gentrified. Stayed at the new Indigo hotel in East liberty. It is one cool hotel.

I have a 4 month old great nephew. He's 22 lbs. already. Wears a 9 months old clothes. Family is doing great. Love it all!

NEW YORK — Worries rippled through the consumer market for antivirus software after the U.S. government banned federal agencies from using Kaspersky Labs software on Wednesday.

Best Buy and Office Depot said they will no longer sell software made by the Russian company, although one security researcher said most consumers don’t need to be alarmed.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security cited concerns about possible ties between unnamed Kaspersky officials and the Kremlin and Russian intelligence services. The department also noted that Russian law might compel Kaspersky to assist the government in espionage.

Yes, I remember firsts discovering this site, just by Googling The Godfather. I browsed a day or two but very quickly joined.
In particular, I remember Sunday nights were ALWAYS extra busy because that was "Sopranos" night. lol That thread was hopping. wink Not to mention I've met both on-line and off, some very very nice people.

Times change I guess but I'll continue to pop in to see what's going on. This site will always be special.

It was inevitable that sooner or later we would pretty much exhaust the GF topics. Politics et al gets tiresome and many other topics are just not that inviting. I rarely post anymore, but I always check out the Board.

I do check in from time to time, but it has been quite a while. Especially considering that I would not only check in every day, but several times a day! I remember the "good old days", too. I'm beginning to feel old!! LOL

Sometimes I really wish things would go back to the way they were. Coming on the BB was my way to escape from from reality. I met so many awesome people on and off the board. Driving 7+ hours in 05,06,07 to go to the BB weekends was so much fun. I hope one day we can have another BB weekend soon.
