Dana, my mortgage is currently with Wells, which I think is the evil twin of BoA, right?
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I don't know -- for us, it's because they own Merrill Lynch. We had Wells Fargo two houses ago, and I don't remember them being quite so useless as BOA.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You're doing just fine, sarameg.
Wow, -t! LA would be a big move!
I hadn't thought to be scared of jury duty, but I just learned that they can send you anywhere in the county, which includes places you can't really get by public transportation (and an hour+ drive), so that would be fun. I'm annoyed they apparently closed the local courthouse I went when I was in college!

Mazda2. But I haven't driven squat yet. But that's my price range.
My mortgage is still administered by WF (um, I wonder if that changes? I should ask!) and was originally through them, but is actually owned by Freddie Mac now. I hope it stays admin through WF, I get x% or purchases on a credit card applied to my principle (so I use it for spendy things,) and it's been hassle free. But then I don't do anything but pay it.
I don't know if my guy does out of state or not. The phone tag was annoying but as much my fault as his. This is the second time I've used him. I can ask.
brenda, I don't know about your system, but you can get a one time deferral for stuff like that here. I had the exact same thing happen when I was flying the nephew out to my parents.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Well fuck. Jury summons. For the record, I blame you people.
Ahahaha. Jury duty has fallen so far down my list of worries, I almost forgot about it.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
brenda, I pass my not-selected~ma to you.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Last time I was called for jury duty, the first thing they did was ask if people had travel plans for the next I-forget-what-span-of-time already in place, and everyone who did was dismissed.

I used ING for my refi (they are now owned by Capitol One). I don't know if Capitol One is decent, but ING was spectacular.

Oh, I need to share the more charming parts of my day: there was an arabber ( [link] ) going down 36th street when I was coming back from the Y. FrrrrrrrrEEEEEESSSSSHHHHH froooooOOOOOOOT! Suhhhh-WEEEEEEET froooooOOOOOOOooooot! FrehhhhhhSH COOOOOoooooorrrrn!
When I went out to get cash for market (and tulips!) I saw a well-dressed fellow out on his steps (south Govans, for locals) with a blond/albino python-esque snake draped around his neck. I was at a light, I couldn't quit grinning. Rolled down my window and shouted "Beautiful snake!" and he gave me a thumbs up and was grinning ear to ear, and then spent the length of the light drawing attention the chick who'd complimented his pet.
