Re: Ginding away- stop putting sand in my oil... Part 4

Turned my laptop on this AM and I have ie10. It didn't ask me if I wanted to update, it Fu cked up my whole set up of what I surf, how I search for things, my favorites etc. So totally pi55ed. Trying to figure out how to restore my set up. Why didn't it ask me if I wanted to change? In the past I have had to click something saying it was OK> SOOOOOO POd

Mozilla Firefox. You won't look back.

Firefox does the same thing now. You can't turn off auto-update. I've tried everything. From registry edits, disabling the services, rewriting the Firefox source code, and even deleting the updater from the computer. I hate it.

Re: Ginding away- stop putting sand in my oil... Part 4

I called my mortgage company and spent 45 minutes on the phone with the Indian version of Peggy from the credit card commercials. They ended up waiving the web payment fee and the return check fee (after several dozen explanations and about 20 minutes on hold), then told me to call my bank and ask them to waive the stop payment fee because they couldn't do that. Spent a few minutes chatting with the bank and they waived it. hurrah.

so they refunded my $15 fee but not the other one. and then my account showed I was assessed ANOTHER $9.95 fee. I called again (another 30 minutes on the phone) and they tell me they can't refund those fees and that the second fee isn't really there, even though all the information says it is. so I say.. just to clarify... so your website information is wrong, and the last customer rep lied to me. I am sure I will be calling back when it turns out this extra fee REALLY IS there. Nationstar mortgage. Stay away (if you can).

Can you refinance with a local credit union that won't sell your mortgage to some jerk off company?

Call the Attorney Gen for your state. They love this stuff and I know they were going after some of the mortgage co already

You would pay to refi just to avoid that bank? Didn't you just refinance?

Flying from Baton Rouge, LA to Houston, TX to Tampa, FL. Because going west to come back east makes total sense.

That's nothing. Here was a layover Delta proposed:

Edit: Also, when I flew to Europe, my flight plan was:
1. Minneapolis-St Paul
2. Houston
3. Heathrow

Oh, I know it could be much worse. But the point still remains.

But Firefox doesn't break your browsing experience every update it does.


Speaking of IE, I really hope corporations realize just how broken IE is, and quit using it for mandatory corporate intranet programs.

On the one tollway job I was on, we were required to have Windows 7 or better, Office 2010 or newer, and IE 6. Yes, Six. *bangshead*

No, I have never refinanced (which is mostly why I'd do it - I'm paying 5.25%). The different customer service is an added bonus.

I'd strongly advise considering it now. Interest rates are in the mid 3's to low 4's. Rule of thumb I've always heard is your payment decreases $100 a month for every point you go down. If you can drop a full point or more, it's time to consider it.

Re: Ginding away- stop putting sand in my oil... Part 4

Holy crap. Absolutely refinance now if you can swing it.

I bought my house in 2011 with a 30-year at 4.875%. I refinanced to a 15-year at 2.75% this year almost exactly 2 years to the day I bought the house. Going to save me almost $100,000 over the life of the loan. In a few years, average inflation (3% a year) is going to be greater than the rate I'm paying now. Seriously. Plus my payment only went up by $200 a month.

I'm also at a 5.25 rate. The wife and I kept going back and forth on if we are going to stay long enough to make it worth while to refi, or if we should just remodify the loan. Either way, in 2-3 weeks, one of those two things will happen.

Re: Ginding away- stop putting sand in my oil... Part 4

So one thing that has really be irking me lately is the last two seasons of The West Wing. Love the show oh so much that when I finish the series, I load disc one back in the blu ray and go to town. Why did Aaron Sorkin have to leave after season 4/5 and let the story line go down the crapper? Very sad.

Mine will cover the closing costs within a year, MAYBE a year and a half. Obviously I won't see any of that money in my bank account, but it will show up in my equity.

I bought at 4.25%, but I don't think I'm going to be staying long enough to make a refi worth it. I'm saving for a bigger house with a basement or garage or big bonus room so I can start Twitch Boy's Football, Hockey, Pinball, and Beer Extravaganza.
