USAA is great -- if you qualify.

That and ALCO would make a trifecta :p :p :p

It's only 25k to NYC from AUS...

They must have a new Principle at the school next to me. I almost thought they didn't start school today as it was so quiet over there. Last year on the first day of school there was a lot a screaming kids outside. This year, silence.

I did the lower priced version of the debit card on my personal account. Reading the fine print it is actually OK that way.

Yes, I did that too on the personal account I opened. I opened both a biz and personal account.

I have so many Chase accounts now ..... sigh! It's difficult keeping them straight.

We have a new Principal at my daughter's elementary school. It is the teacher who taught my elder daughter Language Arts many years ago, and she is WONDERFUL! We are so happy she was selected to be the Principal.


Edited: Post 900. Only 100 more to hit the first 1000. Small fry, I know, compared to all you evangelists out there, but Rome wasn't built in a day ....

Seriously? Are people out there really this stupid? Has the common denominator fallen this low?

Clearly, Elliott has nothing else to write about. That's for the better, though, as he usually gets things quite wrong. It's rather :rolleyes: that stuff like this passes for news.
