Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No, it's just the $25.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

brenda, the new place looks fantastic!

Did anyone else go "Bwuh?" and think of DX Machina, and wonder where you missed backstory?

Apparently not. Sorry!

My cats always slept in my bed. I put a comforter over it in the daytime to cut down on the fur. Falling asleep with a cat is a great way to bond and build their trust in you. One doesn't, after all, fall asleep in the presence of an enemy. Also, the purring. As for getting hair everywhere, I do that myself.

That urinal game is a great idea. Alas, women would have to have special equipment to play.

Grace looks awfully cute, despite the Yellow.

Theodosia, I hate it when that happens! May the rest of the trip be easy.

PS: Anyone interested in opening an ING savings account? If I give you some code, and you open the account with at least $250, you get $25 from ING, and I get $10

don't believe them! We tried this a while ago and my friend neither got her $25 nor me my $10.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Man, that sucks! I've been perfectly satisfied with them as a place to keep my savings just out of my own reach, but that... well, sucks.

Huh. I did it with a link from our very own Nora, and did get the $25. Don't know if she got the $10.

amych, I like them for savings and actually for their paperless checking. But the whole recruit a friend didn't work out correctly. Not a bad thing to have savings.

My only ish? The 1 week hold time on deposits.

Yeah, they're great as a secondary account, but not so good as a primary with the access limits.

Maybe the bonus money comes after 90 days or something?

Yeah, I can't see using them as my primary account for just that reason -- but the whole reason I like them is that the little delays it takes to process deposits or transfer money back and forth between them and my local bank makes me less likely to touch that account unless it's something I've thought through first. As I said, I'm very happy with them as a way to keep my money just slightly out of reach!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

We are building an end of the bed chest so our arthritic cat can climb on the bed. When we had two that was two many things in bed - because every so often there would be a cat fight at 2am - which DH slept thru. I wouldn't want dogs on the bed, or even the couch - but I like big dogs.

DH is being productive, I am not

My plan is to get an ING account when our saving account hits the easy 3 months of savings - and then every time we hit that amount in reg saving to throw more in the ing account - with the plan to do the ladder CD thing they have. But who knows when and if this will work
