    What OLD series/movies are you watching? *Spoilers welcome!*

    Agreed and Pluto TV has a lot of them. Mamas Family is on the TV right now. The other day I was scrolling through the local channels on my TV and I found a really old show playing that was a favorite when I was a kid in the UK called Daktari. My favorite characters were Judy the chimp and...

    Best CD, MM Rates & Bank Special Deals Thread 2024 - Please post updates here

    Me too but I also keep an eye out for good deals at the credit unions since I don't want to keep everything at Fidelity so I may jump on these since I still have an account there. Big changes at Deposit Accounts as well, I'm not sure how long I will keep using them as a resource. Ken Tumin is...

    Show off your dog..or other pet..and how well he/she is treated (and fed)!

    Good for you, he's lovely. He's probably never had a real home before and it's amazing that he's so friendly. I hope he has a good few years left in him.

    I'm well aware of what it is and you're hijacking the Bank Deals thread. MYGAs are NOT FDIC insured so are not the same and don't belong in this thread. All other threads on this topic are over in Active Investing as you well know since you participate in them.

    Restaurant adding fee for use of credit card

    I was charged an additional 3.75% fee over Christmas when I purchase a gift card at a local steak house. I questioned it and they pointed to the sign on the register counter informing customers of the fee details. I decided to pay in cash and let my friend who eats there often know about the...

    Asking for severance in exchange to quit

    If you legitimately feel you're being singled out and treated unfairly then that may be something to bring up especially if you can prove it's happening with actual examples. Have you taken any sick time due to the pressure that you feel they're putting you under? Doubtful you'll get a package...

    What Debit/Credit Card Do You Use When Travelling To The UK?

    Didn't know that but yes and he'll be the main driver. Maybe I'll get added also if I can but if they don't let me no big deal.

    Update on Cord Cutting (Cable TV) - 2021 version

    Okay, I thought I did get an e-mail or receipt but I always screenshot the deal when paying to avoid any issues. I think the last Britbox deal was worded for new and returning customers only so if you'd used a different e-mail address it would have worked but since you were an active subscriber...

    Update on Cord Cutting (Cable TV) - 2021 version

    Just dispute the charge on your debit card assuming you have an e-mail showing the lesser amount when you renewed. That should take care of it easily.

    Ex Spouse Filing For Social Security Question

    To be clear we've been divorced for close to 25 years and I'm not bitter in any way. I divorced him for the sake of our kids who are now both happily married and successful. He's an alcoholic and that's someone you can't fix in a marriage. He's had a hard life since our divorce, he had colon...

    Ex Spouse Filing For Social Security Question

    Yes I know that, and I suppose it could go the other way to although I doubt it. Just so annoying that he asks our daughter who absolutely does not want to be involved, it just shows once again what a completely self absorbed idiot he is. To keep the peace I'll give him the information except...

    Ex Spouse Filing For Social Security Question

    My daughter texted me today and said her dad was asking for the date of our Marriage and Divorce since he was filing for his retirement which I take to be his Social Security. I told her that I had no idea but I'd look tomorrow if I got a chance. We were married in another country and I suspect...
