CD Update - I just went onto www.fisn.com site to check their latest CD offering & noticed the CD we took (4.5% 15yr/1yr uncallable) is the same except has a 2 year uncallable term. I like this even better but alas we took out our CD some time ago through them. I know this thread is about Jim's...

Yikes! Just came across your issue today & can only reiterate everyone else...Just be glad you are away from there! After that kind of send off I wouldn't be so kind to help him out...but if I did, the rate would be 2.5 times previous total salary & fringes etc...a typical rate for consulting...

We signed up 10 months ago and received an invite 4 months later but the wait was worth it! Works like a dream, call forwarding, followme to any phone you list, unlist any phone anytime, convert voicemails to emails, personalized messages, standard messages, etc etc...It works great for us.
