    No end to BS

    Just called my new best friend, Sarah, the manager at that branch. A lot of boiler plate talk with what she is going to do (mostly find out why the reversal). As of now she told me the hold will come off 3/28. She was very sympathetic but really offered no help. This is the email receipt I...

    No end to BS

    I appreciate the comments. My wife is beating me over the head to change banks. She is right but. . . . its such a friggin pia to do it. All my credit cards, and electronic payments are tied to that account. I think I vaguely remember a while back that some banks will handle the hassle of an...

    No end to BS

    This is a major WTF! Two days ago I deposited a very large check into my checking account at Wells Fargo. I made a point of asking the teller when the funds would be available. She told me $400 would be available that day and the balance the next. A printed receipt was given to me and an email...

    Grapple for land clearing

    That's pretty much what I did at our old house and started to do here at the new one. After clearing out the stumps I was left a mess in the woods. There were plenty of vine like bushes with roots going everywhere, tree branches and a lot of New England potatoes. I used my grapple to clean out...

    Social Security changes???

    My uncle, who is disabled, was just notified he must come into a field office to verify his identity. One of his SS checks was stolen and cashed recently and they notified him he must come in, in person, to verify his identity. He is paralyzed from the waist down and all they could tell him was...

    Always be careful what you click on

    We are on our way home (CT) from FL and yesterday afternoon, as we were driving, my wife looked up the Hampton Inn in Petersburg, VA on her phone. She called and made a reservation. It was a lot more than we would normally pay, $250, but we were tired at that point so we took it. When I checked...

    Fence posts - Concrete Vs. Foam - What Say you?

    About 15 years ago I built a large pen for our 2 labs. I used 103 4x4 X 8' long pressure treated wood. The auger dug down at least 30" on most of them, 36" or greater a few. I just backfilled with the dirt that came out of the holes. They were spaced approx 8' apart and turkey wire was strung...

    Daily Chuckle

    Too bad I didn't see this yesterday, damn! The condo building we are renting in is having its roof redone - a six week job. They have blocked off the row of parking next to the building, leaving no extra spaces at all. Now there are just enough spaces. Fortunately ours wasn't affected and we...

    Post office

    As my original rant thread was deleted, I'll just add how it all ended. The package was dropped off at the post office in Dallas on 2/24. I got a text from USPS that it would delivered here on 2/26. Time goes on several days later it is still in Dallas. So on 3/4 I get notified it was delivered...
