Maybe that was a bad question. The women that were tied to the tracks died, but they were not his girlfreinds (or Nell). It was a blonde, a brunet and a redhead.
I bought my kids a Rocky and Bullwinkle video... couldn't get them to watch it... :frown: I was disappointed. Was hoping to watch cartoons that I liked for a changed...
I always loved when Inspector Fenwick said, "Now you can marry Nell!" and Dudley retorted with, "Nell Who, sir?!?"
Perhaps the better ask Kitch Question is the names of the "two little indians, left all alone" ...from Go, Go, Gophers...not too tough, but great memories for the "older-than-Me2" crowd! :wink:
They were the native inhabitants of Gopher Gulch, which was also home to a U.S. Cavalry Fort. The Fort was headed by Colonel Kit Coyote, a blustery Teddy Roosevelt-type. He was aided by Sergeant Okey Homa, a southerner who resembled John Wayne. The military-minded Colonel spent his time planning new ways to drive the gopher-Indians from their lands. The native gophers devised ingenious and successful ways to protect their territorial rights. Sandy Becker provided the voices of Ruffled Feather and Sergeant Okey Homa. George S. Irving was the voice of Running Board and Kenny Delmar spoke for Colonel Kit Coyote.
Start by ordering copies of your credit report from the three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. (You can order all three reports at once by using a service such as TrueCredit.) If you find outdated information or mistakes on any of the reports (a likely scenario), contact the credit bureau and ask to have the data removed. Unfortunately, information that's negative but accurate is almost impossible to remove. So stay away from any credit-repair agency that tells you otherwise.
In fact, credit-repair companies simply do what consumers can do for free on their own. They pull up your credit report and send letters to the credit bureaus disputing negative information. The bureaus then have 30 days to prove that the information is accurate, or else they must remove it from your report. A common tactic of unscrupulous credit-repair agencies is to "inundate the credit bureaus with these letters, knowing they need to investigate each and every one, and that's impossible to do in 30 days," says Sheila Adkins, a spokesperson for the Council of Better Business Bureaus. Unable to meet the deadline, the bureaus remove the information in dispute.
Sound too good to be true? You betcha. In another 30 to 60 days, when the creditors submit their regular reports to the bureau, the negative information will reappear in your report.
So here's a more viable solution. Assuming your credit score (which is a number that assesses your creditworthiness based on the information on your report) could use some boosting, your strategy should be to replace past mistakes with good behavior. What this boils down to isn't rocket science: You simply need to pay all of your bills on time. Granted, not all late payments will wind up on your credit report. For example, tardy phone and gas bills won't show up unless they're handed over to collection agencies. But it's always better to be on the safe side — and, let's face it, on-time bill payment is a pretty important habit to embrace.
You also should make an effort to pay any overdue debt — like that reposed car. Repossession is a big minus on your credit score, but fixing it isn't entirely impossible. If the car hasn't already been resold, you should try to work out an arrangement with the lender to start repaying what you owe, suggests Gerri Detweiler, author of "The Ultimate Credit Handbook." Of course, lenders prefer to strike up a deal before the car is repossessed, so once the damage has been done, don't expect the repayment terms to be generous. If the repossession has left a mark on your credit report, you could ask the lender to have it removed, Detweiler says. But keep in mind that lenders aren't obliged to do this (and in a lot of cases, aren't willing to do so), so don't bank on this.
Finally, be sure to work on paying down that credit-card debt — especially because department-store credit cards come with notoriously high interest rates. You can run your numbers through our calculator to see how long it will take you to pay off your debt given your current repayment amounts.
Sound like a plan? Now all you need to do is stick with it. As an incentive, focus on the fact that working to improve your credit score over the next six months could lead to a substantially better mortgage rate.
Thank you. My problem is - I have serveral, and I mean SEVERAL closed accounts that have been closed since oh 1998 and 1999 - that still show open and available (with no balances) that I have written letteres for when I bought my house - and re-fied it.
Also there are 2 negative closed accounts that AREN'T EVEN MINE! with like 5 lates.
and 2 negative lates that should have been taken off 2 years ago, on closed accounts that are way over 7 years closed.
I'm re-fing my house, and will sign the docs the day I fly home and then in March, I will have access to my new inherited house - which I need to take out an equity loan for about 80K to pay off the attorney, the debt to my Grandfather, and fix it into rental status, So I need to make sure my credit in the next 90 days is pristine.
This whole adult thing needs to come with an instruction book man.
If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM machine, you can notify the police by entering your Pin # in reverse.
For example if your pin number is 1234 then you would put in 4321. The ATM recognizes that your pin number is backwards from the ATM card you placed in the machine.
The machine will still give you the money you requested, but unknown to the robber, the police will be immediately dispatched to help
The eRumor is FALSE because there isn't anywhere that we could find where this emergency procedure at ATM machines is actually being used.
There is a seed of truth to it, however, in that the idea has been floating around for a while. One of the biggest proponents has been in Illinois attorney named Joseph Zingher. He says the notion came to him when he was a law student at the University of Illinois and one evening was withdrawing money from an ATM in a scary part of town. He patented his concept in 1998 and has been trying to talk banks into using it ever since.
"Hmm.... I'm in a bad neighborhood, I sure hope I dont get robbed, while getting my money at the ATM.... maybe somebody should find a way to notify the cops, if that kinda stuff happens"
I called the bank last night and the electronic woman says...
"you have zero dollars and 8 cents in your checking acount, to return to the main menu press 1 blah blah blah"
you DO NOT want to rob me --- on top of that there have been times where I have thought "if I was robbed right this second I would freak out on the guy!" with a "whooaa, no you didn't?! attitude and "I don't have time for this crap/s#t" and then deck him! I have too much built up inside to be messed with - "bring it on f'er" ..... I think about that at times when I'm treasure hunting too - "I don't have time to be robbed - I'm busy"
Third, there's no conceivable way the police could be dispatched quick enough.
Our new dog awoke us last night to someone trying to get into our front door. Took the cops less than a minute and a half to get there, with backup.
The crappy thing is, when they are done doing what they do, they don't have the common courtesy to let you know 'all is well'. We called the late night police line to find out what was up, since the cops have been gone for about 15 minutes now, and I'd like to get to bed... (Started around 2:05am). Of course, they don't call you back either after the dispatcher tells you that they will have them call you and give you the scoop.
The only way we knew what was going on was when we saw the mob return later. About fifteen people walking down the street. Turns out, it was my neighbors friend trying to get into his house. He was fairly belligerent when confronted in the back yard later. Didn't take long for the neighbor to call hinm a cab and gert him out of his house. Would have been nice for the neighbor to come over and apologize for the guy, I would. But I am funny with manners and stuff like that...
FYI... My biggest pet peeve... When I say thank you after you take my order at the drive through, and I can clearly tell that the mic is still hooked up and ON, and you ignore me. Don't ask why...

Oh no! I can't borrow more and be more in debt.
Dumb empty threats
My goal is to obtain a 150 or lower just so I stop getting even the high risk junk mail.
I know what I got to spend and when it's gone I don't have to worry about it costing more later on.
Just wish I had a wife that thought that way :eyeroll:
I steal stuff.
And any money that I get from robbing banks, just lays in a pile on my bed, waiting for me to jump into it, like it was a pile of leaves.
Also there are 2 negative closed accounts that AREN'T EVEN MINE! with like 5 lates.
and 2 negative lates that should have been taken off 2 years ago, on closed accounts that are way over 7 years closed.

Yeah...
I think I'd just go someplace, where I felt safe.
Also, what if your pin # is a palindrome?
Third, there's no conceivable way the police could be dispatched quick enough. The robber by then has the cash and is running off.
If anybody ever holds me up, for my ATM money, they're gonna be screwed....
I barely have anything in there.
And I know a buncha wrestling moves.
