  1. My CU has the best checking I have ever had. 7.5% interest up to $500, then down to a normal rate. No minimum, No fees. Bank is open until 5pm M-Th and Saturday, til 6PM on Friday. I can use teller services at any CU that has a CU Service Center (over 4,000 locations nationwide). I haven't encountered any "annoying policies" at my CU, but maybe yours has some. I have online banking and bill pay that seems to have all the capabilities of my mother's BOA online account. However, there may be services missing that I don't use.
  2. I switched to using Credit Unions years ago, and its made a huge difference in my frustration level with baking institutions. I have used CUs in WNY, Long Island, SF and now Florida. I find them to be very friendly and helpful. The tellers know my name, even though I rarely have to go inside. The downside of CUs (for me, at least) used to be the dearth of ATM's that I could use for no charge. That has changed quite a bit over the past few years. Now there are plenty of no-charge ATM's I can use all over the country. Of course you should be as careful when picking a CU as you would be in selecting a bank. Do some research, compare their services, fees, hours, etc. Talk to some friends and see if they are happy with who they use, etc.
  3. "French Maid" should be added. http://frenchmaidtv.com/web/French_Maid_TV..._Ooo_La_La.html
  4. He REALLY wanted to gobble the wiener.
  5. While I think Best Buy would be stupid, and wrong, to fire this guy, is it really a "Freedom of Speech" issue? The Gov't isn't involved, there is no law being made, the video wasn't censored or restrained, etc. The video is still available and the creator is talking to the press, telling his story. The issue here is firing w/o just cause, IMO. Many here seem to think a private company shouldn't have to show cause in order to fire someone.
  6. I don't watch Kimmel's show (or really any of these late night shows), but I think Kimmel is funnier than Leno and Conan combined. You can add Fallon too.
  7. For the money they pay? Almost anyone they would consider, I'd guess.

  9. It's funny because it's true.
  10. If so, isn't there an adapter plug?
  11. Well, yes. you missed mine.
  12. Sennheiser is still my go-to brand for headphones (great value, IMO), but there are many other brands to consider (Grado is one). At a previous job I was given a pair of Beyerdynamic studio phones to use in my office. Terrific sound, but nowhere near as comfortable as the Sens.
  13. Only a moron covers his/her car with stickers. This is more like what I get to see on a daily basis: http://andrewbreitbartmallcop.files.wordpr...kers-783004.jpg
  14. I have never been able to keep earbuds inside my ear. I use headphones, when listening to any music player. I guess people like us can get custom made buds, designed for our particular ears. I even have a hard time keeping a bluetooth cell phone earpiece (with a wrap around ear holder) on my ear for any length of time.

  16. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3JbKimTdMg And something a little different, even though it is something much the same:
  17. Since when? Welcome to the darkside. Glad to hear you are bringing a woman with you.
  18. You are under NO obligation to share with those who dropped out. The only reason you would is "humanity". So, with that said, I would share a set amount or small percentage. Because, well, I'm not a douchebag.
  19. They're right, for the most part. I don't even like the 1st pic, although I think she looks OK in a couple of the links posted. OK, but not particularly special. But to each his/her own.
  20. One of the all-time greats. That's for sure. RIP coach.
  21. Actually, you brought it up. I just posted a comment from youtube. I found it interesting that the comment was one of the most highly rated. (And, yes, I thought it was funny, too. Even though I don't necessarily agree with it.) Your pansy-ass reaction turned it into a gay jokes aren't funny thing. That's the last I will comment about it in this thread.
  22. True, you will probably never get it. Maybe if you watched Louie the other night, you would begin to understand. But I doubt it, you don't seem to be particularly bright. http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2010/06/29/...-fx-show-louie/ That vid scene doesn't seem to be available at the moment. But Louis has some great gay-related bits: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzbURUrgQao
