The squirrels in the attic

I can't tell you how much I want to add them to the roadkill foto
series. Once the roof is redone that place is going to be air tight
or I am going to shoot them all in the face.

I used to think Squirrels were cute, till they invaded my garden. They act like they own the place.

Guess, I need not have been concerned.

Bank Of America Sucks
Category: banks

Hi Terry and Paul,
Thanks for allowing me to serve you with your mortgage needs. I hope you truly enjoyed working with me as I did with you. I wanted to let you know that I appreciate all the time you spent with me working on putting this together. If I may be of any service to you in the future please do not hesitate to call. The greatest compliment I can receive is a referral from a satisfied client. You take Care! Bank of America Home loans is proud to have your business.



I am going to be honest, that was the very worst experience I ever had with a bank. It's not your fault but I didn't know who else to complain to.

The only reason we stayed with it is because after we locked in the rates went up.

The whole reason we chose countrywide/ bank of America was because the original letter said we were eligible for a three day express refinancing as we wanted to redo our roof this summer with the money. That was back in April and it just closed last week with the summer almost over.

During the months of waiting we received almost no information from Bank of America and the number we had to call had the angriest secretary who always told us she had no information or would forward us to our acct specialist's (Michelle Mazolla) voicemail that said she would get back to us in 72 hours, but would not.

In the end we lost every roofer to someone else as we could never guarntee when the money was going to come and now it's so late in the season they are all booked up.

So then we finally get our check and it's made out to the wrong people, Paul Mickelson and Paul Visco. I could see having the last name confused, but the first name, and it attached to a piece of paper with the proper naming.

In the end I guess I would have been much happier with a company that kept us informed during the entire process and delivered on it's 3 day promise.

those people don't seem the brightest, if something like that happened at my job, we would have a huge lawsuit in our laps.
tinypliny - 07/28/09 06:47
That's such a careless clerical error. And maybe the whole finance scenario had something to do with their not delivering on their promised turnaround time.

tinypliny - 07/28/09 14:24
It actually looks like a cross between galangal and fingerling potatoes.
jbeatty - 07/28/09 13:27
I have been wondering the same thing everytime I walk by it.
james - 07/28/09 10:45
I don't know, but I'd hit that.
tinypliny - 07/28/09 06:39
Maybe the label bloke was tripping... HEHEHE
tinypliny - 07/28/09 06:38
I LOVE charries as well. *High red five*!

That might be a mistake - the paper its printed on is pastel paper. Who calls produce pastel paper?!

Life without wireless

When we first moved into our house I ripped out the Ethernet
infrastructure that went into each room. Now I regret it. The old
server doesn't have a wireless card ;(. So now I have this ugly 100ft
cable between rooms till I get wireless for it.

tinypliny - 07/28/09 06:40
Why did you rip the ethernet ports out in the first place?
heidi - 07/27/09 00:18
I have a Belkin USB wireless adapter at my apartment and would be happy to give it to you when I get back.

Life on higher ground
Nothing like the downpour flood yesterday to make it clear that
picking a house near high street was the way to go.

Really it's just chance. I wonder if the people near hodge and
ashland ever knew they were in such a floody area. (e:matthew,49381) said maybe it was a storm drain clogged. Then again, our street is on such an incline that we don't even have sewer grates. It all just washes downhill so fast that it was dry justt a couple hours later.

on dave's street which is auburn between elmwood and richmond, it really flooded fast like you could see the line of water going higher up my car tires but then it went away really fast too after the rain stopped. I don't know what the point of writing this was, i thought i had a point and now i forgot
