What if it Snows?

My bank had SOLD again!
They’ve just changed the signs, Now sold again.
I see failure in the future, last time I threatened to change banks.

I have just left merchants and planters bank, gave them a big check, and started new account, least they been same bank almost since 1946, when a group of farmers and merchants yada yada’d and poof, out popped a bank.

 

Gross was up, no FSC on agricultural or forestry products, you have to negotiate higher rates.
Grossed almost 9k

 

I just got some great news. I am not sure I mentioned this before. My sister filed a civil action against me back in Georgia about 8 months ago. What happened was my oldest sister had a parcel of land that had been recently appraised at $1700 back in 2011. After our mom died all three of us split our mom's house and property into even thirds. The total appraised value was around $65,000 at that time. So I made my sister an offer of my signing over my third to her in an even swap with that other parcel. I was taking a net loss because I was no longer living there and wanted to get out of that probate situation. Well about a year after I moved to Virginia I sold that piece of property for close to $20,000 to a developer. That entire area saw property values skyrocket. My sister got it in her head that I committed fraud and wants the swap-out agreement tossed by the courts. Yes, that sister is that petty! Because of my health, I was unable to physically go to court but was able to do it via zoom. What set my sister off as they were only able to get $51,000 for the old homeplace. This means my sister swapped land that would become $20,000 for around $17,000. As a settlement, she was after the $3,000 plus interest and attorney fees. We had our last zoom hearing about 30 days ago. The Judge finally released his ruling. All claims were denied, AND my counterclaim for my attorney fees was granted. So my sister now owes me my Attorney fees. We are not talking about a lot of money and honestly not worth the hassle of collecting. Still, my primary point was made! Mess with the bull sometimes you get the horns!

 

I wonder who Tenica is, but maybe they will stop texting me dope sales.
About tve 100th

 

Just like a lot of us seniors. You do what you need/have to do, with what you are still able to do. She has a good work ethic, honed by her life's difficulties.
Great connection, you two. Any ideas on how it came to be; accident, luck(good or bad) ,higher power, ???

 

always felt if fuel was less then 30% of gross I could live with that. Obviously lower the better ….

 

I too just closed an extra "free" checking account. New deal was keep $2500 min balance or $6.95 per month. The old compensating balance steal:
Years ago, finance companies borrowed from Walter Heller in Chicago. Deal was a note for a line of credit for say $500,000 was at say 4%. BUT, in the terminology (fine print) you agreed to only use $450,000. They called it "A Compensating Balance". Tended to increase the "yield"...

 

Keri was my neighbor for several years. We kind of developed a bit of a symbiotic relationship over time. She looked after me when at home. Then after her divorce, I started getting her mail and gave her a shoulder to cry on. Finally last year I suggested she save some money and move in with me. I shy away from religious topics because they can set off flame wars. I will just say this. I have lived my life being honest. Caring for people. I have no idea how much money I have given away over the years to people that seemed to need it. I just know that when I started to go downhill all of a sudden Keri was there. That is as far as I will go on that.

Keri is home now. The mail ran and she brought it up when she walked in. Her Drivers License hard copy came back. I got her American ID with that hard copy and took a photo and placed it on Facebook about 20 minutes ago. Everything is done until we can get to DC to get her passport fixed.
