OT: Off-Topic, again.

If your car payment or other bills will save you interest by paying off early then maybe, other wise there is no financial benefit in pre paying.

That being said I do pay ahead a month for my water bill. After decades of paying on time I got a message from the water district saying that I was late and am subject to having my water cut off the next morning if I didn't come in that day. My water bill is just a post card and apparently one month it got lost. I called and they admitted that I had a stellar pay record but that did not matter and I was scheduled for cut off and a fee for re connection if I didn't pay that day. Now I keep a $50 credit at the water company which is more than my bill.

That's wise.

Back when we still used checks for every payment, no online yet, I sent out a stack of maybe 7 payments. They got lost or stolen and I had no clue til I started getting calls from creditors. NES called first and unlike the normal "creditor" call, it was "Is everything okay? You always pay on time and we didn't get a payment. We were worried!" The others weren't THAT nice but almost everyone waived the late fee.

BFC--You might save half and pay ahead on anything you're charged interest on.

Adz, you been to any games?

I feel like to attract more residents to Southeastern Wisconsin we should just use this picture. We have the perfect weather, whatever you like!

I was in Whitewater a few weeks ago. It was 80 F or so while it was about 65 F in Milwaukee. It felt good!

We need to get that Lake Michigan temperature up.

Be careful what you wish for.

No. Mulling over signing up for the playoff tickets, but there are still so many rules. We'll see. My son thinks since I'll be completely immunized by then I'd be fine. Still thinking, though.

 

[Adz]

Well that was weird. I only pressed it once and 4 replies. I'll go delete stuff now...

When I came to Milwaukee to find an apartment, one fell through. I went to Bradford Beach that afternoon. The water was about 76 F. I thought, this isn't bad at all! I don't think it has ever been that warm again in 40 years.

Signed up for the playoff tickets. Taking a leap of faith, in the team and in the crowd. Don't kill me, people.

I got my 2nd COVID vaccine today and I'm going to workout during the draft. I'm ok but the gov shot me twice!

Are you a STH? Did you get an email about playoff tickets?? I keep seeing people saying that have signed up, but I have not gotten anything on my end.

Yes, I am a STH. I got a "You've won the Loyal Legion Ticket Lottery" email and it was for playoff strips for rounds 1 and 2. I linked from there. I got one early on giving me the option to buy regular season tickets and opted out. I'll be fully immunized tomorrow, though, so decided to take the plunge. Still don't like all the rules, despite knowing there is a reason behind them. I may have been given the option because I'd already taken care of the funding method for next year's tickets or it may have gone out to everyone--or it may really be a lottery, I don't know.

Thanks- I did get the loyal legion ticket lottery for regular season games, but not the playoff one. But I have not renewed yet for next year so I bet that is why I did not get anything on playoff tickets- yet.

Thanks again.

Thanks again.

In the past, renewing was what got you both access to order and the discount for the playoff tix so you're probably right.

I have decided to skip the playoff tickets. I don’t have a pod of 4 people to go with for one thing. Even if we do make it, we aren’t likely to get out of the first round anyway.

 

[BigFatCat999]

Yesterday, 2nd COVID shot, ate 1/2 a large pizza, worked out and slept in. Today, oh gawd it hurts!

I'm probably skipping, too. It will be an absolute miracle if we see more than 2 home games, sad to say.

You don't have to order all the tickets in the pod. I picked 2 out of the spots that were available. They just don't let you have more than 6 sitting together. I did the pay as we play version so I won't be charged for any of them til we're scheduled to play it.

But did you get a gift like this one the Air Force hands out with shots?

We have ours today, then granddaughters' b'day party w/ family afterwards. Son and his other had theirs this morning. We're hoping we can all make it through the festivities!

Where did you find the Blanton’s? Still haven’t found a great liquor store nearby so tend to drive to other side of town.

 

[101st_fan]

I might need to order more for my checked bags.

The one on Thompson is good.
I have a friend that is a distributer, he tells me when stores get good stuff in.

I got those at Old Fort. They had Bakers 7 too.

I wish. Too fat for the chutes.

Yesterday, 2nd COVID shot... Today, oh gawd it hurts!

Same. Have chills, arm hurts a lot and I feel like a truck ran over me. But I'm glad to get it finished. After 2 weeks wait period my plans are to start going in to work daily. How strange that will be!

I do have a newfound understanding of infant behavior after they get their shots.
