Call and yell at talk to people? It might help, it might not. You might have already.

As for credit scores... folks that pay off quickly (as folks that disdain credit are often wont to do) are actually one of a lender's worst customers, only somewhat ahead of people that default. What they really want is folks that will just pay off interest and not really touch their premiums, so that the lender can rake in more interest moolah. Those are the ones who are best to give a loan to, from the perspective of the lender. Folks that will trip up a little and still pay off any nice fines or fees they accrue are arguably even better. A lender doesn't really want to be paid off, t'be honest...

I think Dutchling has my name, but not the female one :v
My first name is Gilles, and the female version of that is Jill.

[Dutchling]

Well, I wouldn't call that a name, to be honest

The first knuckle of my middle finger is being weird. When I curl the finger into my palm, the knuckle seems to lock in place, and doesn't seem to want to uncurl. Mildly disconcerting, but it doesn't seem to actually affect it's use. I'm just wondering what caused it.

Pretty sure that's caused by network connectivity issues.

Naw, it's totally PEBKAC.

My uncle came to visit with his laptop in hand.
I learned that he absolutely despises antivirus software becasue someone told him that antivirus software is in reality a backdoor for viruses.

Now he goes around telling everyone that since he stopped using firewalls/AV software he never had a malvare problem.

I just don't even...

[kaijyuu]

Well to be fair there are plenty of non-reputable "anti virus" programs out there that are essentially malware themselves.

I use a basic firewall and Malwarebytes, myself. Nothing else.

The person on the cover of this year's costco catalogue looks kinda like a genderbent Nicholas Cage.

I, too, have suffered the male/female national name origin divide. Irish versus Middle Eastern.

Just to make sure: Spraying air freshener into an active clothes dryer: Bad Idea or Incredibly Bad Idea?

[Dutchling]

What's with you people buying air freshener when there's perfectly fine deodorant available?

[Frumple]

I didn't buy it, but I'm not adverse to using what's on hand if someone else is going to insist on equipping the residence with the stuff.

Also not really aware of, like, room-level deodorant, and I can't imagine throwing personal deodorant into a pile of drying clothes achieving desirable results. Now that I think on it, though, there's got to be something equivalent to it. I just don't believe I've seen it before.

Only one way to find out!
