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

[SouthFayetteFan]

Or... just get a double cash in general!

And yet...I was that "idiot" at one point in my life (I use that term in the most loving sense possible, lol!)

@Haley R Any update on the job stuff with your dh?

 

[mmmears]

I do think that for most folks, a cash back card or 1/2 really good points earners is enough. You have to want to learn how to manipulate these programs to get full benefit, especially when AFs are involved. We're credit card nerds here.

I agree. This is actually quite a bit of work (and I do less than many people here). I'm sometimes scared to talk about it since I know people who do pay off their bills on time, but aren't at all organized, and I don't want to be responsible for them getting into trouble with too many cards. I'm so thankful I found this group and realized that we could do better than we were with our few cards.

He had two interviews this week and has 2-3 more next week. It's hard to keep up with it lol. He applied to 100+ jobs just to get his name out there and he's gotten lots of responses back about phone interviews. Some of the places he's interviewed for are: Littleton, Colorado; Melbourne, Florida; Virginia; Georgia; and I think Huntsville, Alabama.

Well, I hear Littleton CO is a nice place...

Guys I don't know what to say or do anymore. You already know my one girlfriend was out for Vegas because she hurt her knee very badly. Then my husband went into a downward health spiral.

But now, I have just learned that my other girlfriend who was meeting us... died last night. At age 42 this is obviously sudden and a shock.

I feel numb. And I don't know who to talk to about this so I posted here.

I have no words, only tears and many hugs

TPG has a US Q-Suite update. Negative changes to Phili and Miami. Positive to Dallas.

Lol but the snow and cold weather I know it's not as cold as here, but it's still colder than I want. I'm being a tad picky, but I grew up in Georgia and I'd like to get to a similar climate.

Yep, I understand. Just know the summers in CO are the best summers known to man lol! If we ever move, I will miss the summer here so much. And winters here are milder than you could imagine.

That’s impressive. Who does he have winning? lol

I have a good friend in Pueblo. I am so jealous of her weather most of the time. Almost always sunny, when it snows it’s gone fairly fast, and she sends the most beautiful sunrise pics from her backyard. Of course she did fly out in the middle of the big blizzard a couple weeks ago. She said it was the scariest drive ever and took over 4 hours.

My pricing never seems as good as yours. Looks like in your example, WDW direct comes out almost the same as 1cpp thru AA vacations....$3616 or 367,600.

Here is my example:
WDW sun and fun $1373
AAvacations: 151,600

What are your dates - you said Beach Club, right? Just looking to add this to my list of examples I'm tracking to see if anything changes here (for better or worse).

Honestly, that describes CO to a 'T'. Am I right, @amalone1013 and @platamama ?? Almost always sunny, snows and then is gone pretty fast, and most amazing sunrises (and sunsets) you've ever seen?? It's really an amazing climate that you have to live here to really understand. It's crazy good. Winters are mild and summers are glorious.

From Pueblo, she was probably driving to Co Springs to fly out. Blizzards are a once every 4-5 year'ish thing here. At the most. The last one we had was a few weeks ago. It was kind of a non-event for us but definitely may have been more impactful for others. My dh got one day off work. I think his work hasn't closed for weather in at least 5-6 years so that was big. He was thrilled!

@GlamMistress prayers for you and your friend's family. 42 is just so young...

I do love the sunsets and sunrises, sometimes the sky looks like it's lit on fire in the most amazing shades. I've lived here most of my life, and when I was younger it snowed more in the winter - my dad used to snow plow in the winters and work has significantly decreased over the past couple decades. And it wasn't as hot in the summer - my mom wouldn't let us go to the swimming pool unless it was over 80 and there were many days in the summer that were under 80, which I can't say happens anymore. These days I avoid going outside during the summertime at all during the day because it is too hot for me! Summer evenings though are perfection. And I do appreciate the aridity; until I traveled to other areas and experienced humidity for myself I had no idea how nice it is to have dry air. It really helps with fewer bugs and parasites too. I had no idea what a flea looked like until I spent some time in the PacNW.

We moved here right out of college in 1997 and the weather has changed so much since then even..summers have gotten warmer and winters have gotten milder. I like it more like this, as someone who is from TX, but I understand this isn't really the way things used to be. And yes, the sunsets...sigh, to die for!! These are the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen in my life and I never get tired of seeing them.

How are the schools?

 

[wendow]

How are the schools?

I think the schools are fine...avg to good, imo. I homeschool though so not the best person to ask Please keep in mind, I homeschool because I think homeschooling is awesome and not because I think the schools are bad.
