I don't know what's dorkier: That I correctly identified it, or that it was stuck in my head in the first place.

The fact that you have a deep seated need to quantify either is what tips it for me.

This coming from the woman whose response to her sister's request that you plan her wedding was to clap giddily and say "Yea! I get to make lists!!"

Quantification is the glue that holds us together. I think.

Let me check my notes...

credit unions = good. You are not just a customer - you are also an owner. Doesn't mean they don't screw up, but it seems easier to deal with them.

They also are more flexible. My home loan is in the jumbo loan territory - the only place to refi my loan is my credit union - because the laon rate is not at jumbo loan rate.

And somewhere, Hec is updating his files...

Y'know, I just realized I can never let Aimée meet my friend Alexia. Alexia is the Queen Of Lists and Planning Things. And wears gauchos.

Oh, honey? I'm bringing work home tonight and I'll need your help with it.

We would have an awesome time!! Planning and listing where to wear our gauchos!

Alexia has a list (and, IIRC, a spreadsheet) for What We Need If The Apocalypse Happens. Including information such as what skills all our friends have, where the best place to start the commune is (best place as in, where it will be easiest to plant and harvest crops), and a what things will need to be looted on our way to that place. My job is apparently to hit every store I can for chocolate, opiates, and basal thermometers.

I still don't know how serious she is about this stuff, but it makes for entertaining conversations at Stitch & Bitch.

I officially love Alexia.

I am awed by your friend Alexia. I have vague plans for the apocalypse ( including getting a yurt from pacific yurt) , but my plans haven't gone that far. yet. Now I have something to live up to. Damn. maybe I sho9uold get off the couch.

I figure that when the apocalypse comes, I'd need to get out to the middle of nowhere, way away from the big city. But then everybody else will be trying to do that too, so I figure it's probably not worth the trouble.
