Friday update

[leechlake]

I doubt anyone is super excited to hear my update today, but I'm doing it anyway.  Associated Bank notarized our documents in about two minutes, didn't ask for our account numbers or anything, chit chatted about home towns and gave us a cookie when we left.  Not only was it not painful it was actually a pleasant situation.  Maybe the Wells Fargo nightmare lowered the bar so far that pleasant was an easy thing to accomplish.  Two thumbs up to Associated Bank.

The knife eater has been exercised twice per day and is presently gnawing on a bone, dropping it on the floor, pushing it across the floor but if she keeps this up I may start calling her Belle instead of knife or wallet eater.  She has been reformed in other words.  My guard will remain up since I have some wisdom on canine reforms from the past.  

I hate to say but I'm excitedly waiting to hear from Reb on the new computer update.  I'm betting there could be a glitch in the new set up.  He kind of jinxed himself by saying it was going to be a plug and play situation.  I hope not but for me to hear that some issues arose would be more entertaining.  Besides he needs to find out some more things about the culture of other countries.

Reb gets his new computer...

Ron is one of the most underrated characters on any tv show.

Haven't watched P&R all that much but he always makes me laugh.

Two thumbs way down to Wells Fargo. Lousy customer service, fees on top of fees, etc. I closed my account there quite a few years ago.

Kudo on Wells.  I had a loan from them and paid it off way ahead of time.  Every year I kept getting this $25 fee for having an open account.  I would call them and tell them to close the account and I wasn't going to pay the $25.  The person that I got on the 800 # said ok I will take care of it.  This went on for 5 or 6 years.  They kept adding the $25 up.  Well I finally was losing my normally good frame of mind if you know what I mean.  Don't like the screwing the banks gave us anyway.  Well I called them again and asked to talk to a manager.  He finally comes on and says I have to actually go into a Wells Bank in person and sign a paper saying I no longer want that open account.  I can't believe it!  All these years and noone had told me that before.  Luckily we have a Wells here.  I called ahead and told them what was up.  A very nice lady got it lined up for me and I went in and signed.  Talk about keeping someone on the hook......  Won't go near them again.  They even quit donating to a local fishing thing for kids.  Said that just by the pres donating time that took the place of donating prizes or money or food to the event.

After that rant.  They do have some real nice people that work there.

Just don't like the corporate philosophy
