Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

Congratulations, Kat!
Ahahahahaha, it's tough in Boston.
I amend my earlier sense of being appalled with the observation that if dude was standing out in the street in Boston he's lucky he didn't run afoul of a driver that would do more than tag his backpack.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Down 80 bucks for the snowplowing from the week previous, although I'm a little miffed that he showed up for the second time with only an inch on the ground that was light and fluffy (we could have used a broom! You didn't consult me about that plow job!). But those are words to have with my neighbor that I'm splitting the bill with, not the plow guy. Hope this Mondays storm misses me as well, or else there goes all my plans for my tax returns.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I thought the weasels were supposed to come at night.
Congrats, Kat!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
My CU has a residency requirement, that's it as far as I know.
Mine had a residency requirement to join. But when I was moving to Portland, I asked how soon I needed to close it and you don't have to be a resident to keep the accounts. So I still use San Diego County Credit Union. Although I also have an account at a more accessible bank too. Since the nearest ATM or branch was 1,000 miles away for several years. It's still 100 miles away.

Those are the ice weasels. Totally different species, though I would think guilt weasels were also primarily nocturnal.

Oh, very nice.

Thrive to spite them
The first CU I joined was an "education" credit union so you had to be a teacher or work for a school (or maybe just the public school system in the county) or be a student/. Then they dropped it to - you had to live in the county. And then they changed it to live or work in the county. They pretty much became the biggest CU or bank in the area, but growing pains did mean they had more a big bank feeling but still better tahn going to a bank where you weren't sure if it was goign to go under or be bought out.
After you join you're in even if you move.
The current CU I'm a part of you have to live work or worship or go to school within certain counties. The CU itself is nice and has perks like ATM reimbursements monthly up to $25 in ATM fees. Everything is free (checking, in person transactions, etc) and you get a percentage back on your checking and savings accounts ifyou meet certain requirements that are really easy to meet.
There isn't a branch close to where I live now so investigated another CU and it was way more like a bank, fees for EVERYTHING. I could have no ATM fees but be charged $2 for in person transactions OR free in person transactions and be charged for ATM usage and other stuff. Everything could be free if I kept like $5000 in checking at all times.
I told them nope nope nope and stayed with the CU I'm with.

I wish I could CU. Hopkins, specifically. But not eligible. The one I could do is stupid and useless. And WF is at least efficient. Though I do want to open a small checking account with a bank with an atm in walking distance for market cash. About the only reason I carry cash. Been meaning to for... awhile. I think I could probably go thru Citibank because many of the 711s have their ATMs around here.
Got my annual escrow refund. I'll dutifully put it to the principal, since it is technically money I already consider spent, so might as well.
I do the same with my tax refund, except straight to savings/investments.
So responsible. So boring.
