  0 0 I get a 1.55% on a CD that I can add money to. SECUW offers 0.15% on savings of $500+. Twice a month I have a set amount transfer from my checking to my "add to" CD. Unfortunately, it's tough to find a local rate over 1.0% for balances between $500-$10,000. The fee for liquidating early is 3 months worth of accrued interest, and that is all. I can transfer funds (partial, full, interest only) from the CD to either my checking or savings account online. It was harder to get money out of my ING savings than it will be to get money out of my BECU CD's. internet_jen commented about 13 hours ago

  Banks: School Employee Credit Union of WA (SECU) vs BECU

  0 0 School Employees seem to have a lot more specialized financial services products than BECU. But no CD's? or did I miss them. BECU 'neighborhood' centers seem to be popping up around the city. I don't know the extent of SECU locations. But equal amounts of ATMs, heh. A personal anecdote: I had lost a debit card, and I found myself on the way to work with out any cash or lunch, I had left my money at home. I was able to stop by the neighborhood center in the U-dist and get a debit card on the spot. Not just an ATM card, but a brand new debit card with a PIN of my choice. Two locations have been built within a mile of my house since I started living here years ago. internet_jen answered in Personal Finance 3 days ago Answer, comment & read 4 more answers »

  0 0 Haven't eaten anything off of it yet. Just surveying what to do with the yard. I think the only time I've ever eaten rhubarb is in Strawberry Rhubarb Pie. I know the plant hasn't been harvested in years, so I was just wondering if all the current growth is past its prime for culinary use. Good to know it's not supposed to be eaten raw because I would have tried, haha. internet_jen commented 9 days ago

  USPS Parcel Post ?

  0 0 You know, I always feel the same way when I see parcel post as my only shipping method, but it's always fine. Like the others said, it's just USPS version of "ground shipping". FYI - UPS stands for United Parcel Service. It's just an old word we don't use that much anymore. Though, Miami is far away. You could use the UPS shipping calculator to give you a less vague estimate. I bet the timeframe will be similar. internet_jen answered in Whatever 24 days ago Answer, comment & read 4 more answers »

  What is great about Portland?

  0 0 I have a friend who puts the key differences of the two cities on Seattle living with the legacy of Boeing & Microsoft. I've never spent much time in Portland, but I thought that was a neat perspective. internet_jen answered in Other - Trip & Travel 26 days ago Answer, comment & read 5 more answers »
