Stephanie, dead anything in the house = ick.

BTW-Box came! Yay!
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

Butter and peanut butter was a childhood favorite of mine, inherited from my Mother who, to this day, will make a face if you put anything sweet on your peanut butter sandwich. The woman hates sugar near her peanut butter.
We have ING accounts, too. There is very little student loan debt left for either of us, but there wasn't much to begin with since both the DH and I had free rides through most of our time at University.
We'd live pretty cheaply, if it wasn't for my uncontrollable urge to add to my shoe collection.
ETA: Stephanie, your birds gave me flashbacks to the apartment I had that had a run of bats inside.

Yucky dead bird.
I have no savings and a MOUNTAIN of debt and yet ING interests me. (My local bank requires a minimum deposit of $100.00 and charges you if you keep less than $1000.00 in your savings accound.)

Stephanie, there are days I'm glad our cat is not a huntress.
We used to have a financial plan and some savings. Then my mom's health failed and we had to start supporting her much earlier than any of us expected. It is so frustrating seeing that security get wiped away. I should find myself a financial advisor so that we don't get into any worse of a mess than we already have. I'm just living in denial land, hoping it will work itself out.

I have no savings. I have debt. Big huge debt beyond my wildest dreams. Oh well.
Me too! I'm trying to change that though. Teacup Guy is so very saving money and not being spendy.

Stephanie, dead anything in the house is a big ick. I think I feel worse that it was bird, though. They really don't do any damage and can usually be shooed out, like the second one. Do you know how it got in?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Word. Sorry, Stephanie. I feel your pain - we regularly had squirrels wander in.

Tom was a very good influence on me.

I can't believe no one wants to even comment on the fact that I had to chase a live bird and pick up a dead bird from inside my house this morning.
I shuddered and didn't comment, but what I thought was, "Stephanie is stronger than me because I would have totally freaked out, called Teacup Guy, and gone to the mall until he took care of it.

I've got an annuity from a 401k rollover from a job I left nearly 15 years ago. Unfortunately, the fees for putting that into something that makes decent interest would wipe out half of it. Though I got a letter this morning saying it's now owned by Nationwide. I think it's time to call them again and see if there's a way to move that. I keep forgetting I have that, since it's not something I'll see for years yet. Currently it's sitting at less than one year's salary at my piddly current wage level.
