I love credit cards so much! v2.0 (see first page for add'l details)

[elgerber]

At least they are pajamas! I dress like a homeless person as soon as I get home. In winter it is even worse as I tend to layer and comfort over everything. My poor husband gets excessively excited when he sees me in anything

Haha Haha this is pretty much me all day everyday! Especially now in the cold, I’m sure he is thrilled at how I look but it’s cold and i’m comfy. He would never dare comment on it though

LOL I love that commercial! “Your father says it’s personal this time.”

I’m glad someone got my reference! That commercial is hilarious. “It’s very loud there. Are you taking a Zumba class?” Lol

Oh and add me to the list that doesn’t get Hawaii. I’m glad we went last year but no desire at all to ever go back. But my parents go for 3 weeks every year. And can’t conceive of us not adoring it.

Now I could get on board with you all and Scotland. I would love to go back. We last went in 2005 just before kids. It has been way too long!

That’s how people feel when I tell them we go to Disney so often. Everyone has different tastes I suppose. I just had another person at school give me this incredulous look and said “you spent 6 days at just disney?!” I wanted to be like “um yeah, pretty sure I could live there for my entire life and still see something new every day”. I settled with telling her we see something new every time...

Just remember too it is overall credit level. I had to talk to chase for my first (and so far only) business card. My credit was too high on personal but they can’t just transfer over. I would wait and let the reduction go through. I reduced all of mine couple weeks all in hopes of going for CIU in 2 months. They sent me an email that said I could have more credit. It was random and unexpected. Sometimes you can’t win!



Do you think your application didn’t go through because it hit a security firewall or something? I had that happen once when I applied for a Chase card at work. Not that I would ever be applying for credit cards at work...

Lol I have flannel pants and a t shirt on right now. In the summer I usually don’t change but in the winter all I want to do is go home and change. I don’t actually sleep in pants though.....that would be crazy. No socks either unless I’m feeling SUPER cold and it’s a last resort

But this is kinda my mom...and my sister. Fortunately they text instead of call but it’s like they don’t know I have an actual job. They text random crap while I’m on rounds in ICU. And my text sound is a minion laugh, so...

Some time ago I had an internship supervisor who was a real piece of work. I always called him Mr. Mean in my head. He mainly communicated by grunting & yelling. I was there for 6 months & never saw him smile once. Koko the gorilla would have been more effective as a mentor.

One day, he came in, ignored our presence as usual, told off the mail courier, accidentally hung up on a major donor, and yelled at two underlings who were slightly more important than us peons - if only because he addressed them by name, whereas I am 98.7% sure he never bothered to learn ours. All in all, it was a great morning for Mr. Mean.

Until he got a phone call. And his phone joyously sang out:

"Tadpole calling! Tadpole calling! There's a tadpole, here on the line!"

(Except, it wasn't "tadpole." It was an expletive that starts with an A & sounds like "tadpole.")

It went on, and on, and on, as Mr. Mean fumbled with his phone. The caller even redialed & we got through two additional refrains before he finally figured out how to put it on silent.

I thought I was going to pass out from lack of oxygen because I did not dare take a breath for fear that I would explode in hysterics.

Apparently his son had done it as a joke & "forgot" to tell him. I felt terrible for the kid, because you know Mr. Mean could not possibly have been a kind & understanding father and he was probably grounded for 12 years. But man, it was funny!

So... the next time your workplace is treated to a laughing Minion... it could be worse.

My mom has them saying hello, bello etc for her texts. She's even counted how many times they say it. I used to have them doing the bee do but it got annoying. Any more I never have the sound on, between working places where you can't have the ringer on to having an NC number on the west coast with spam callers that call on EST I leave it on silent so I don't get woken up before my alarm. I generally have it next to me so I see it light up and if I'm waiting for something important I turn it up. My ringtone is the Mariners tv broadcast intro, it's been the same for so long it takes me back to being a kid or just watching games and makes me happy.

Same...can't do pants or socks for sleeping. I sleep in the same clothes in summer and winter actually @vanjust14 How in the world do you sleep in a robe lol??? I would die! My dh cranks our heat down at night but I use a nice, toasty electric blanket. In the summer, he has the a/c blasting and I have a nice, toasty electric blanket

GOOD NEWS ON THE SUPPORT FRONT...

Chase Freedom Support links are BACK! I just was able to generate one

Not so good news...only 5,000 URs per click vs. 10,000 before...

(added to the news thread)

 

[wendow]

When I am home, I live in capri leggings (cannot stand full length ones and I have no idea why they bug me!) and a tee. I try to make sure I am showered, 'fixed up', smell good, etc when dh comes home but I'm always in leggings and a tee. He doesn't seem to care (or he just knows better than say anything) but he immediately goes to change into gym shorts and a tee so we are even

My phone almost always stays on silent and my Apple Watch stays on loud or vibrate. It depends where I am but my ringtones are all just generic ones that came on my iPhone

So, not an exciting redemption but want to share. I think I posted that my dh's grandpa had passed away back around the holidays. Dh's aunt finally decided they would do his memorial in mid-April. Our girls have so many commitments and ds10 has his big theater performance (he's Sherlock Holmes!) that same weekend so we decided to just send dh & ds7. Everything I was pricing was $$ even SW with *hopefully* having ds7 fly as companion on the CP. I checked the chase portal today and found United $151RT (through CSR)! Score!! Booked them both. Found a car rental for $61 (also through CSR) and this beat Costco. Booked that. So, for about half of what we were looking at before, they are set and it is all covered by UR's. I used to hoard my UR's for Disney and would not have used them in this way but since that ship sailed, this was really nice to not have to use cash or other points. And of course, my dh is once again amazed at what I can pull out of my hat

I can barely wear my robe after a shower. One, I don’t have time for a robe lol and two, I get hot so fast in it. I sleep in the same clothes in the winter and summer too: shorts and a T-shirt. Our heat is down at 66 at night and in the summer I think our a/c is at like 75? I can’t remember. I think it’s been 20 years since summer

Yes, my mom bought me a 'winter robe' once and I can't wear it for more than 2 mins. I feel like it's strangling me or something lol. I have a short 'summer robe' that is thin and zips up and that works all year for me, but I'm really just not that into robes, unless we have company. Heat is 62 at night and a/c is, iirc, 73 at night. Same, summer was SOOOO long ago and can't come soon enough!

Omg your heat is at 62?! I’d die. I thought we kept our heat low.

Yep, my dh sets it...but yes, he sets it at 62 at night...day is 67, but since I wear capris and tee and I am constantly upp'ing it to 70 during the day. He isn't here so he doesn't know I've tried just putting on a sweatshirt or sweater but then I'm roasting and feeling claustrophobic.

We keep ours at 67 if we’re home too. I’m not always home during the day though. At night we just put it down one to 66. We used to keep it at 68 but since it’s gotten so cold we’ve put it down a whole degree lol
