I canceled my SunTrust checking account yesterday to avoid their ridiculous new fees. However, joining the credit union I had planned to join was more "expensive" than I expected; the required share savings account minimum balance was $100.

We will decorate for Halloween today.

34/35 fan motifs! yeah! /rubs sore hands

28/35 purple fan motifs completed.
