Panama City Beach – August 2008 pictures

I’ve fallen a bit behind on my processing of pictures from the summer but I’ve finally managed to post our Panama City Beach pictures. Some highlights:

Refinancing a mortgage with SunTrust – Ongoing

It wasn’t until I was finally able to sit down with all (34) of the documents from the refinance that I noticed some anomalies. It turns out that the $250 credit for working for my current employer that had been represented in the “Good Faith Estimate” was missing. I’ve contacted George Connolly twice now by … Continue reading Refinancing a mortgage with SunTrust – Ongoing

A rare snow in Marietta

It snowed today, which is a relatively unusual event for those of us who live in the South. It was supposed to be pretty spectacular so I thought I’d take a time lapse series of it to show how it progressed. Well, it wasn’t all *that* spectacular, but here are the pictures nonetheless: Click on … Continue reading A rare snow in Marietta

Cyanide and Happiness

Boy! Talk about “Edgy”. Do NOT read this comic strip if you are easily offended. But I find that the humor here absolutely tickles me. You have been warned! Click the image above or click here.

Kill A Watt EZ P4460 – DeLonghi SafeHeat radiator

When natural gas prices went through the roof I took a look at our heating system. We have a single central forced air system that supplies our entire house. This isn’t terribly unreasonable considering that we live in a single story ranch (no basement, no steps at all). But, even with a programmable electronic thermostat, … Continue reading Kill A Watt EZ P4460 – DeLonghi SafeHeat radiator

Refinancing a mortgage with SunTrust – Done

Continuing with my mortgage saga, I went in yesterday morning and *finally* got this done. There was one nasty surprise waiting for me there. ANOTHER copy of that dreaded 4506-T “Request for Transcript of Tax Return” form. As before it was completely blank. I asked the lawyer (he represents the lender, like I have a … Continue reading Refinancing a mortgage with SunTrust – Done

Ticketmaster and Mondial Assistance

I’ve never been real comfortable with “Ticketmaster”. Whenever I use the site they have service fee upon service fee heaped upon the purchase. They’re kind of like the “Bank of America” of ticket sellers. For example, last month I purchased tickets for a local play (Footloose) for myself, Michelle and 3 friends. The original ticket … Continue reading Ticketmaster and Mondial Assistance

Vision Fitness – On the ball

I have a Vision Fitness T9200 Basic Treadmill with the simple console on it that I picked up almost exactly two years ago. Amazingly, I actually do use it regularly during the winter and on inclement days during the summer, preferring to run outside when I can but I *am* a fair weather runner. Can’t … Continue reading Vision Fitness – On the ball

My Entry for Teamstudio’s Spotlight Award

Teamstudio recently had a contest where they wanted you to showcase your applications so that others can see what folks are doing out there and so you could toot your own horn a bit. My entry was probably a lot less snazzy than the ultimate winners (I haven’t seen them) as I tend to focus … Continue reading My Entry for Teamstudio’s Spotlight Award

Linksys PLE200 (PLK200??) Powerline Ethernet Adapter and wireless mouse?

After the disaster that was the Netgear Powerline Ethernet Adapters I was trepidatious about the technology. But, when I returned the Netgear adapters I went ahead and picked up the (much more expensive) Linksys PLK200 powerline adapters. Hmm… the box (and price) say PLK200 but the adapters themselves indicate that they are PLE200… *sigh* looks … Continue reading Linksys PLE200 (PLK200??) Powerline Ethernet Adapter and wireless mouse?
