Say What I Think

I have been banking with Associated for almost 3 maybe 4 years. I am very happy with their customer care, and how they have handled my accounts. I would consider them to be a Outer Banks because their attitude is like a small town bank. Last night I was talking to my mechanic friend, who I been helping in exchanged for labor payments. He was sharing with me what his bank had done to him. He had a company with a agreement to take our x amount of money but they took out a whole bunch more then they should have, ouch. This hurts people when companies do not do what is promised. Well his bank pretty much didn’t want to really work with him on solving the issues, after he was unable to get a hold of the other company. I have bank at his bank before and I will never use them again, because it was a unpleasant experiences. After them I went to another big bank and hand another unpleasant experience. I found Associated after my old bank wanted to hold one of my pay checks for 10 days! 10 Days!!!!!! Come on!!!! I need that money like now not in 10 days it was a instate company instate bank. I was very unhappy so my next paycheck I took it to my companies bank. I asked the greeter or who ever she was if I could cash the check there because my bank will want to hold it for 10 days. Well she got me to see a banker to help me with getting my check cashed. After talking to him about their banking options I decided to get a checking account to start with and then later I opened a savings account.
The one thing I don’t much care for with my bank is sometimes they want to hold checks for 3 to 4 days, but not any of my paychecks, more of the personal out of state checks which I don’t mind. After talking to my friend last night I was glad to be with Associated because when I have had similar problems they did stop payments and waved the fees for me, which was a great help

It’s that time of year and I am in need of some summer clothes. It hard to find clothes that are nice looking but don’t show your whole world. I have looked at both Target and Walmart and haven’t seen anything I like. I figure if I spend about 20 bucks a pay check on clothes this might help me get some more updated stuff. I really need to do this for all the season but don’t have exactly a lot of money.
Today I was on line just to kill some time and decided to look at boardshorts, they would work for summer and are long enough, but I really need a new swimsuit mine is almost 10 years old. Wow that old for a piece of clothes. Well I have looked and this year it doesn’t seem like there are any designs I like a lot. Mostly what I have found are suites I wouldn’t want to be seen in problem is I like my suite that I already have it feels comfortable because it not to revealing. Lately it seems like the clothes designers are adding medal things to the stripes and stuff.

I can’t believe my husband and I already have to replace this. It is supposed to be a queen bed but it not as large as our last queen bed, it’s taller so maybe the height too from the length, there is barely enough room for both me and my husband. We got the bed just before we lift for our trip in November.
We have already had to patch the seam 3 times, now I know we have a cat but where it got it hole isn’t caused by my cat, it just one whole that not in the shape of a claw. I would expect to see cat damage done on my side of the bed but since I haven’t been sleeping in there for a few months now, and Otis stays out in the living room with me. Don’t worry hubby and I are good he was sick for about 3 months, and I have serious asthma so sometimes it best for me to sleep on the couch I can elevate my head to the right level for sleeping for me.
I honestly do not think this will be a brand we get, we had a little twin bed from them for my husband that broke a couple months after he got it, same type of damage. I am hoping that some day we will be able to get a adjustable beds this would help me with my asthma at night if I could adjust my side of the bed to what I need, but when hubby sick I be banished to the Couch. I do not mind sleeping out on the couch, it easy for me to sleep by myself any how. I think I have been single for to long, I know other couples who are lost with out their spouse next to them at night not hubby and me.
What works for the Coleman bed, the height I love it easy sitting down on the bed. What I do not like is the quality of work on the seams of the bed, We shouldn’t have to keep putting air in it a lot. My husband had to start doing that after 2 weeks of having the bed. I really miss our old air bed, but wasn’t able to find that brand in the store when we needed a new air bed. Now I mentioned my cat earlier heres a other reason I know the holes not from him, because it’s only one whole and if it was caused by his claw there would be more wholes in the area, at least 2 more wholes, if not 4 wholes. Otis, doesn’t claw on many things other then his clawing post, and his chair in my office or at least he thinks it his chair, and a chair in the kitchen. I am not sure why but those are his normal clawing area.

I am a big fan of Dr. Pepper, but it has gotten more expensive then I care to spend on pop right now. A couple months ago, I found a new brand at my local Cub Foods, its that Super Chill Brand. Wow it actually tastes good, and is made with real sugar just like Dr. Pepper. I have their Dr. Chill, it is good, doesn’t taste 100 percent like Dr. Pepper but close enough, to me it tastes more like what you get out of the fountains.
I’m thirsty and need caffeine, normally the first thing in the morning I try not to drink pop because I think it best for me to drink water, but this morning they had already turned off the water here in the building. My husband and I forgot to stock the freg with beverages. Well can pop takes about 15 to 20 minutes to get a little bit cold in the freezer so I threw one in the Freezer. Super Chill pop does not taste good when it warm but not many drinks taste good when they are warm.
There Root Beer and Cream sodas are good to, now those I like taking some Vanilla Icecream and making Ice Cream floats. I think the makers of Super Chill did a great job of creating an off brand pop that still taste good even though they are off brand. I have tried many different off brands and usually prefer the name brand but Super Chill is one of the exceptions to that rule. Now hopefully they continue using there real sugars and don’t decide the entire world need to be on a diet of their choice. There has been many things over the last year that I can’t eat or drink anymore because they have started using the overly process sugars or chemical forms of sugar which I have developed a allergy to. It amazes me how companies could be saving money on doing this isn’t the real thing cheaper at least I would think.
If your on a med like Leptovox Supper Chill has plenty of pop with no caffeine in them which is nice for my husband because he able to have a little bit of pop if he like.

I have a Creative Live Cam, Video IM Pro. it specs says I should get 30 frames a minute. Lets see my husband computers gets about maybe 3 frames a second, my laptop which is 3 years older gets between 8 and 15 frames per second. Now I like to know how that is possible, my laptop is older then my husband computer by close to 3 years. I will probably eventually either need to think about getting a new Laptop, but I love this one so much, or I will need to get more laptop memory. Wow, my memory according to the computer shouldn’t be running it it’s just slightly lower. Maybe I do need to put a little bit more memory in here. It a good laptop but old it’s 3 years old, but honestly if I got another 7 to 8 years from this computer it wouldn’t shock me. Well back to the camera.
The system requirements are Intel Celeron 1.7GHz or Equivalent Processor, Windows, XP but is made for Vista, 256 MB of Ram, I got plenty of that, 500MB of HDD, CD-Rom, and a USB Port. If your system meets these requirements then you should be able to get the 30 frames a minutes, at least that how I see it. I will have to look at my desktop which crashed each time I tried to install it but that was with my old harddrive which was crashing alot.
This camera has smart face tracking well personally I don’t think it did a very good job of tracking my face nor my husband, but that problem may be caused by lighting. With out the right lighting it’s probably hard for the camera to follow the face. The Still image capture works pretty well, that is how I did my first video blog, was by using still images because I don’t like hearing my voice. I never used the mic other then to test it, it worked okay. This is a good camera for the price that I have paid for it. I would recommend it for people who don’t mind not having the professional looking stuff.

My husband and I are Popcorn fans, but sometimes those big bags are simply to much, and don’t always pop right. I love freshly popped popcorn, personally my favorite brands are Orville Redenbacher’s and that Movie Theater Popcorn. I am so glad they came out with the single serving bags that are 1.5 OZ.
The smaller bags pop better then the larger bags in my microwaves. We really like the Movie Theater Butter in both brands the most. What works are the bags are a single serving so I don’t have to wait till hubby wants some. The Popcorn for the most pops all the way and there seems to be far fewer cornels in the popcorn. The butter popcorn is not very salty neither which is good for my husband, but know that being said there is a little bit of sodium so my husband has to be careful.
There is just about the right amount of buttery flavor on it. Sometimes my husband likes to get the popcorn with different flavoring but those are all in the large bag. Sometimes we wish they would make like the marshmallow or the caramel in the smaller bags. There is one flavor I can not have and that’s the Ranch, I have developed some strange reaction against the dry seasonings of Ranch. Gave my husband a good scare, but at least it’s the seasoning and not the pop corn. I had a boss several years ago who was allergic to popping pop corn, poor thing couldn’t even be in a movie theater because of it.
I have a few food allergies so I know what that like, and I also know there are not many good drug treatment plans for allergies to food. There not much you can take to limit the reaction you have toward the you just have to avoid the food which sometimes is hard expecially when it a meat allergy, but I still think being allergic to popping popcorn is more strange.
