Citibank sucks.

I opened a CostCo credit card largely because my wife wanted the $50 CostCo gift card for doing so. I had to call twice to get the card activated and get it to show up on my online account, which it didn't, because the reps have no idea what to do or who to send me to. Finally when I was about to be transferred *again* I told them just transfer me to whoever closes accounts. So, they paid me $50 to apply, get the card, open the envelope, and then cancel it. Thanks, Citibank.

On a side note, Bask Bank is now paying over 4.1% for savings accounts or 2 AA miles per dollar per year, your choice. I was taking miles when interest rates were low, but moved to interest now. Citi was paying .04% and USAA was paying .01%. Absolute garbage rates with interest rates rising so much again. Emergency fund and next vehicle fund are now combined and in Bask.

How come they make the peanut butter so stiff it tears the bread when you try to spread it?

You must be using that there "white" bread. Now you can start to deal with your racists up bringing that has led you to such a poor choice in diet.

Jesting aside,real bread(not the kind that comes in plastic and is mass produced) can hold up against peanut butter or 3lbs of meat and cheese

I advise against more than 3lbs of meat on one sandwich, but it is only to help you avoid wrist injuries associated with repetitive motion.

My first world problem today has to due with gas stations that have a "convenience" store inside.
In no way is it convenient for me to wait for you to waddle inside for your 84oz soda,when I just need gas.

Why do they make it so damn hard to get the cover off the inside of the jar of peanut butter?

Fresh Thyme lets you grind it yourself from salted peanuts if you have one near you. The consistency is poifect and you don't have to deal with oil seperation.

If I'm going to drive 70 miles one way for peanut butter, it better be perfect.

Bottom shelf of your local grocery store, right next to The Government Blocks of Velvetta Cheese Food.

Not the one I go to at least, there's no options for the grinder other than off/on.

I saw that, which is nice as I have a CD with them maturing at the end of February.

I figured out I have C.D.O.
It's the same as O.C.D., but in the proper order.

I was only in my late 30's, but E-harmony worked for me. Be 17 years this July since we got married. Just my $0.02.

Made the mistake of trying Tinder. What a horrid system. May have to check out e-harmony, thanks.

I thought about that one. But you can get internet there.
