Our family’s trust has CDs at both Wachovia and WaMu. I (trustee) bought a 12-month CD from WaMu about a month ago and our broker was nervous enough to advise me to invest $96,000 instead of $100,000 so that if WaMu fails, I will still get the $100K FDIC protection, even with the relatively high interest they are paying. FWIW, he is more worried about WaMu than Wachovia.

I should add that I am not talking about this being my small family’s trust. It is the extended family trust.

I went to the Dallas News link. Thank God we bought an older house with no HOA. Of course, there’s the family down the street who appparently decided to paint the house the same color as the yellow line dividing the road. This is a convenient landmark, though. We tell friends who have never been here, “Go past the house painted the same color as the line in the street.”

OT: I am embarrassed that I got sidetracked on the Dallas News with a link to a quiz about how much one knows about the show “Dallas,” which started 30 years ago. I got every one of the 10 questions right! I announced this to my husband and he said sarcastically, “Woot. Gonna put that on your resume?” In my own defense, I told myself years ago that if the whole year of Bobby off the show is written off as a Pam dream, I will never watch that show again. And I DIDN’T.

Laura and you other “chicks,” I’m not the boss here (Rich is). In fact, I am not even a known poster. But I’m so glad so many women have come forward out of lurking. Thanks. I think we have added value. That jf-whatever-his-name-is would have us staying home with our young kids and just SHUTTING UP. I am educated enough that I stayed home with my kid till she was 11, but I was still working full time as a contractor.The difference between then and now is that I and other women and other mommies in the same situation used to meet in local parks and talk investing or whatever in local parks while our kids played. Now, 20 years later, we can do it on sites like this. And we don’t have to keep a watchful eye on the monkey bars.

Thanks Rich, Temecula Guy and others for your support. We will now probably fade back. But thanks for the opportunity!
