Hivemind, help! My (not-so-little) sis needs to take out a loan in addition to her Stafford loans, so she can move out of our parents' house (in lieu of committing patricide). She has very good credit but no income and will not have a co-signer. Currently banking with Bank of America but totally willing to switch. Has a credit card with a credit union in another state.
Please send tips, warnings, advice, etc. to my profile addy.
Thanks!
I am engaged!!!!
We're in Seattle and ensconced in a hotel until our belongings catch up with us sometime mid-week. I've been adding photos to our Seattle set on Flickr: [link]
Exhausted, but exhilarated!
After more than two weeks, missing both Christmas and New Year's, Mom got to come home today, on her birthday. It was quite an ordeal, took hours longer than it should have, but still, we made it, yay! Thanks for the ~ma, y'all!
My best man, Alex, had kidney transplant surgery today.
The donor was his girlfriend/mother of their child.
If you can spare a good thought for them and wish them some quick healing, and a successful transplant I'd appreciate it.
They could use some -ma.
Twenty-four days until the Winter Olympics!
We have 2 extra tickets to Women's Luge on February 15 (5:00 PM) if anyone is interested. Keep in mind the venue, the Whistler Sliding Center, will be a bit of a bite in the ass to get to (you'll need bus tickets to Whistler unless you have a car pass because you own property up there) but it's the Olypmics!
We paid $50 for the tix once fees etc were all calculated, but we'd like to recoup the face value which is $30. If interested email msgullo at gmail dot com.
Does any Buffista currently use QUMAS at work, for electronic document management? And if you do, could you please be so kind as to write me at my profile addy? I am in the final talks with vendor before signing contract and am extending my due diligence to asking Buffistas if they've had trouble or delight with the system.
Just in time for the reception: more Hawaii wedding pictures. These are some of the real pictures taken by our friend (and professional photographer) Kat. These include the first pictures of the actual ceremony.
More photos of Ryan, plus groupies! Starts here: [link] Includes first documented evidence of tooth. [link]
X-posted with Bitches, but I have a release date for Carmen (Actual title: When the Stars Go Blue)
According to Lovely Editor, we have a November 23, 2010 release date, which is the Tuesday before American Thanksgiving, which rocks, because, hello, holiday season shopping! Hopefully, many people will be buying a copy for the booklovers on their lists.
