Capitol Hill Blue Forums Hot Topics & Breaking News The RoundTable Round Table for April 2017

They (credit union) actually gave us a payoff statement with a scheduled payoff date of the 30th. We thought it was strange when the money remained in the account after Thursday. So we went in today and asked if we needed to write them a check or something. The teller showed us to paper we signed to do the transfer on the 30th. Then she called up the real estate loan department and asked: "What is going on?"

They made some sort of lame excuse, which boils down to: "We forgot."

So they backdated the payoff to the 30th, and did an internal account transfer this afternoon. We did not have to pay four more days of interest.

Which brings us to why they don't want to take your check when you just walk in. The check will take a few days to clear and they don't want to eat those interest per diem charges. If you have the funds in an account of the bank holding the mortgage, and the full amount is available, they can generally transfer it the same day. Otherwise they want a wire transfer for $30. (Although ACH takes overnight between banks.)

I was tempted to use the credit union's Bill Pay web page. We used it for the mortgage payment every month but we could just pay extra if we wanted. So what happens if you Bill Pay the principle balance?

No Liberal would ever write, let alone send a fax like this; CONservatives see a Trump presidency as license to pull stunts like this.

An email address! Cool!

Let me just warm up my bot-net. I've got a few million goatse pics to send.

I wondered where I had left my drill, pesky tool turns up in Seattle!

I always chuckle when I run across the "Hard to Find Tools" catalog, as it seems most of my tools meet this criterion! Eventually most tools turn up in an unusual place where they were last used. But loosing big tools shouldn't be that hard to find unless they got buried by a badger or something, it happens!

All this time it's been buried in the dirt.

it is now illegal in Russia to characterize Vladamir Putin as a gay clown. So in the spirit of anti-conformity, I present this illegal piccy if I were to post it in Russia:

The drums of war are being beaten on MSNBC and others. It is sounding like an attack on Syria is imminent. It comes at a very convenient time for a Tail Wagging of the Dog mega-distraction! Will he tweet Syria to tip them off when it is near? Nice gesture to activate it during dinner with the Chinese.
