Just more protection for my new zoom zoom 😊 (And played around with the interior lighting settings) Love this car so much more then Subaru. I installed the dash cam on passenger side of rear view mirror because I don’t want anything distracting my view.
I recently paid off my only credit card in full ($18,500). Once paid then I called and closed at my request because it had a very high fixed apr rate of 27.99%. Just this past week I got notification that my credit score went up (which was a surprise because I had people telling me not to close account because it will make my score drop and take 6 months to improve. I was 683 before I paid off debt and now I am 773 after paying it off and closing account. I am happy 😊
I have a credit card with balance of $18,000. I have tried multiple times to get US Bank to give me a fixed lower apr but they wouldn’t. So now I am going to take money from my TSP to pay it off. I will be retiring in 2 yrs and I don’t want any debt. I own my own home, car and only have normal bills (gas, electric, cellphone, taxes, insurance). How should I go about closing the US Bank credit card without it hurting my credit. I intend to apply for a different credit card with a lower fixed apr for emergency use only. I am always on time with payments and never late. Just trying to get all my finances in order before retirement. I know many people will be against using tsp to pay off credit card debt but it is my choice. Thanks advance
Hi everyone. I just wanted to share my husband’s diagnosis. Early April 2026, he went for a routine MRI to monitor a small stomach aneurysm. His doctor called a week later wanting to see him. My husband went to talk to doctor regarding his results and then finds out about a small tumor in tail with mild atrophy. Immediately sets him up to see surgeon. He then goes to talk to surgeon regarding the tumor finding. The surgeon then says it needs to come out and that it may be cancer. They got him scheduled for surgery on April 27,2026 and had to have a CT scan, bloodwork and a stress test done before to get clearing for surgery. He also was given 3 shots two weeks prior to surgery. It was an emotional rollercoaster ride emotionally. Everything was happening so fast. Not knowing the outcome and what to expect. Very scary.
So on April 27,2026, my husband had the “scope” surgery and they removed tail of pancreas 35% and spleen. He did good through surgery and got released 3 days later to go home to recover. He had a drain for 2 weeks.
Today we went to see surgeon to have drain removed and discussed pathology results. He had Grade 1 Neuroendocrine tumor 2.20 cm. Lymph nodes were clear. All margins were clear. No further treatment needed. My husband will be talking to oncologist next regarding future imaging and a watchful eye. The surgeon said out of all the types of pancreatic cancers, this is the one that has best results when caught early. My husband had no symptoms and no family history of pancreatic cancer.
My question is why they don’t have any annual screening for this type of cancer. My husbands was found through imaging for something else. I am just glad the doctors moved fast on this once it was found. Sending hugs & prayers to all of those that are battling this horrible disease.
