Re: U.S Bank Account

Just a thought. Do you have a regular blue Amex card on your UK address ? If you do you should be able to change the address to your US one, even if it is a temporary address. Then you will have an...

Re: U.S Bank Account

Re: Snake.........

I'll guarantee it was a baby Black Racer. They do look like shoelaces and do curl up to threaten you. Pick it up on a piece of paper next time and toss it out on the lawn. They do a great job of...

Re: American Cars

I never heard an anti-Semitic comment in my life until we moved to Southwest Florida. Here they are fairly common.

More common is the use of the so-called "N-word". I hear the word "Nigger" used...
