H was employed by the state community college system and was eligible for the state employees CU. Once he was in, we set up accounts for me and both kids. StY's wife and kids were thereby eligible for accounts, too. Here, we belong to the county's educational CU. I'm not sure how we qualified for that one. We haven't dealt with a bank since NCNB, back in the day.
My dad was fond of Savings and Loan Associations. Before and for a while after he died, H dug through all the paperwork he could find, and ran around town tracking down accounts at different banks and S&Ls. Dad was not an "all eggs in one basket" kind of guy when money was involved. He and Mom both had little savings accounts at various banks that essentially were charging account maintenance roughly equivalent to interest earned. It wasn't as handy as keeping it in the mattress or the cookie jar, but it earned about the same amount.
JZ, would you mind me sharing the Belinda photo outside of this community if I obscure your face to prevent any association with it? (There's a reddit thread about objects one finds frightening, and I think I can win it.)
Matt, absolutely.
ION, this evening Matilda and I were on our way home and I scored a pink gingham blouse for $2.75 at Goodwill. I'm both so happy and angry that I am so happy. Also, I can't stop thinking about the fact that these are the last few hours of the last month in human history in which ita was an embodied, present meatspace presence. And despite the fact that calendars and months are a purely human construct, I am irrationally hating tomorrow.
Kat, congratulations on making legal what according to Noah is already so!
My credit union is associated with the university, but it's actually community-based; as long as you live in the county you can join.
askye, I hope you feel better soon. Not being able to sentence is worrisome.
I had more to say but I've forgotten. Everybody be well.
Had 200 post to read to get caught up and the conversation about the teeth was the one I had something to contribute to.
Ah, well. Congrats Kat!
oh, JZ, now I am, too!
Congrats, Kat!
I have determined that, no, I really DON'T like avocado. But, mixed with mac & cheese, not bad.
I've had an account at the local Teacher's Credit Union for...almost 20 years now, probably. I was eligible because Dad taught at the local university.
Congratulations, Kat!
I hope you feel better soon, askye.
Ugh, I have a long to-do list today, most of which is related to cleaning the house for my likely houseguest tomorrow night. Although I wonder if she'll actually make it, given that we're supposed to get a foot of snow tomorrow. At least my house will be clean! So far, I have cleaned the bathroom. Now I'm going to do one of my two work tasks.
Timelies all!
Other than the weekly grocery run, I have no plans today. It's been a quiet weekend.
