WaMu Visa card sucks
OK, I am a sucker. I wanted free access to my credit score, and when I got the offer from WaMu for a card that had free access to FICO scores, I signed up. There were no balance transfer fees, so I did a small balance transfer from a higher interest (3.99%) credit card. ...

Funny Monday night story…
Both my husband and I are science geeks, but we try not to drill too much science into our 2-year-old. I thought we were doing a pretty good job, until I looked in the bathtub tonight. We have bathtub crayons (a guaranteed fun bath!), and I noticed the molecular structure for water on the...

Benefits to carpooling
I have mentioned in some previous posts about how my husband’s old job is being relocated to China. He recently found a job with the same company in a different building, and things are going ok. The commute is still long though – about 70 miles round-trip per day. He used to commute to...
