ParticipantNostradamus – we went to that “fastest Chihuahua in America” race last year at the PetCo near Sports Arena. It was hilarious! We have a 1-eyed Chi. we adopted and entered him…he never left the starting gate…but it was great fun. The owners of the Chihuahuas are as amusing as the dogs themselves!
To the OP – Any thoughts on grey hounds? Supposedly they are very minimal shedders and giant couch potatos. My aunt had one she adopted from a local rescue and she was a real sweety. And I totally agree with the poster who said “get two”. We adopted our Chihuahua Terrier in 2002 and in 2004 adopted our one-eyed Chihuahua – we’ve really noticed a change in our Chi. Terrier now that she has a buddy to hang with while we’re gone or to walk with at the park. She seems much happier and we don’t find things “moved” around the house (shoes, couch pillows, etc.) anymore.

ParticipantCoop: Thanks for the lead on the Credit Unions. I’ll have to check them out and see what we’d have to do to join. Maybe there’s one that likes Biologists and stay at home moms. :>)
Sheila: Good idea on Countryfried. I suppose as long as the money is under the FDIC limits we’re o.k. even if the bank falls to bits…something to think about.
The husband has been trying to figure out how to get interest paid in British Pounds..he’s even jokingly thought of diverting to the UK from his next trip to Norway to open an account at The Bank of Scotland…maybe your FXE idea will work for him. It does make sense and the dividend is more than any CD I can get right now.There’s nothing magical about two years. We just want to be ultra conservative while we wait and see how the US economy shakes out after a new Prez enters office, the possiblity of ending the war in Iraq (if Obama wins and sticks to his promises), the housing drama, etc.
Also, I may be back at work by then since our daughter will be a Sophmore in High School, so my income could be invested more agressivly or offset a more agressive investment plan for our current “nest egg” of 150K. We’re really just trying to lay low waiting to see where the chips fall, we’ve not got the stomach for the agressive stuff right now while things are so hairy.Doublewide

ParticipantThanks all for your responses..
Guess I just had a mega bad day with Chase. Lesson learned, switching to our Citi Card and applying for an
Am Ex. I’ll lock the Chase away in the fire safe for emergencies but after the last 12 hours and 4 phone calls I can’t trust their card to work! Bozos!Svelte, you cracked me up with your story…wish I’d thought to “have words” with Chase right then and there so Miss Snipity the Checker Chick could have wiped that smug look off her face!
