What is it?
It frightens Stacia!
We took the van in for a carwash. I think you have to survive a winter and break-up to understand why a carwash would be a nostalgic activity when missing AK. LOL
About once a month ,I lose a day to "chapel paperwork and such" in order to be able to continue to do "chapel ministry." Today was that day, but I was glad to get it all done.
I spent the afternoon canceling credit cards in MY name that I didn't know I had. How can a woman who has no income be given not one but FOUR credit cards with a total of $28K limit? They thought I was nuts when I called the bank that handles the Sam's Discover and said, "Please check and see if I have an account with you."
"Ma'am, what's your credit card number."
"I don't have a credit card - here's my social security number...."
Yep - I had one - wrong birthday but same address and my number. ARGH. I've been working on that all afternoon and will continue to work on it. I also called USAA, and they've got the best deal, bar none, for a new card. Funny thing - Discover, Visa, Mastercard, Pennies - they all offer you rock bottom when you want to close an account. Shoot one company told me that if you simply call and REQUEST a promotional rate they'll give it to you for 6 months, and I could request it every 6 months. ::snort:: I don't need cheap interest rates; I just need nice people to do business with - and SECURITY. LOL BUT USAA has the cheapest REAL rates yet...and no fees, and they'll not make my dh call from the middle east to find out the balance. LOL
Anyway - I have a migraine and one of the adult type children are going to take over while I go take one of the big gun pills.

What memories! My baby, Frankie (who is now 13 and nearly a foot taller than me!)was sooooo afraid of car washes. He tells me they still sort of creep him out. I didn't think any other kids were afraid of them.
ReplyDeleteUSAA is GREAT!!! We have used them forever for car insurance, life insurance, renter's insurance, banking, MC/Visa.....
ReplyDeleteI can check all balances online, I can pay them online, I can transfer money from one bank account to another.
ah ha the dreaded carwash!! LOL
ReplyDeleteSo if I call usaa and threaten to cancel my card will they lower our interest rate??
I love carwashes! My little ones are divided about them.lol
ReplyDeleteI'll pray for your migraine to leave quickly!
Sounds like you've been busy!
ReplyDeleteOh poor Stacia! Good thing she has big brothers to protect her from the mean old carwash.
