TSA: The Joke I Don’t Get
I just got through the big joke they call security. Except, I wasn’t laughing. I’ll limit my rant today, just know I could go on for pages on this subject. My favorite part today was when they asked me to remove my sandals, to which I replied, “Even with these juicy fungus blisters?” They wanted to know why I didn’t have socks. I just smiled and handed the lady my shoes. I’m more concerned about health risks then terrorism when I go to the airport!

So today I decided to officially cancel one of my three lines with Sprint. As you may recall, I spoke with several people on the 11th of this month.

Read MoreWashington Mutual, You Suck
A couple years back I had had it with Washington Mutual (a.k.a. Wamu) and switched to USAA Federal Savings Bank. This came about because I was sick and tired of Wamu’s lack of overdraft protection on the Free Checking account. Back then I did cut it close far too often and my biggest complaint was that their website was never up to date with account information. For example, items posting to my account for one day, would not appear until the next day, even though they were dated for the...
