Nothing Sexy, Just a Good Alternative to Large Banks

I've been with San Diego County Credit Union Since 2001 when I got my first and only job out of high school. Overall, I'm satisfied with them. They're always a good fall back for when I'm not interested in standing in long lines to do some banking.
In 2003 I used them to finance my car. The interest rate was okay for that time, I suppose. I don't know if it was the most competative, but it was good enough for me. I must say, however, if you're trying to make a financing deal between SDCCU and an independent dealer/agent, be ready to have a cell phone handy for lots of back and forth calling to get the deal straightened out. Even when all parties were sitting at the table for final paperwork signing and handing over of checks, there were some issues that I could have done without.
As far as functioning as a bank, they are better than those large banks. A lot more personable and less red tape than Wells Fargo for sure. I think I'll forever have a grudge with that establishment...
I like going to SDCCU when I know it'll be busy at WAMU, my other bank. I can do all my banking without a line at the locations I go to. Of course I'm not telling which. Why would I create more lines for myself to have to stand and wait? :)

I had 2 appointments with a nutritionist at the Pacific Center. I enjoyed the office and the staff, and I found the information provided to me during these appointments to be extremely helpful and realistic. I was very motivated to continue, however, I found that it was nearly impossible to get appointments without waiting for a month or two. I simply couldn't work a wellness plan and program and have to wait that long in between appointments. I was disappointed by this, as I did like my sevices provided. However, it just wasn't feasible to continue going.

Wave House is a great little amusement park set right on the beach front. I'd recommend going more for the view and atmosphere than for the actual "amusement" offered. The amusement park itself is small and the rides are pretty well antiquated. However, the whole atmosphere does give you a nostalgic feeling, though the prices for the rides won't. I find it more fun to get something from one of the food vendors and just people watch for the afternoon. It's a nice location, and offers a great view of the ocean.

Robin's Dog House is the only place I bring my dog for grooming services. After much searching, I have found a groomer that is both thorough and reasonably priced. They are kind to the animals, and include nail clipping in the price of the cut. Every other place I've used tacks on an extra charge for this service. They also offer a cute selection of novelty and gift items for a pet lover, some of them made locally and ready for personalization.

I love antique stores and find that each has a different specialty. House of Heirlooms has collected a huge selection of carnival glass. The pieces are quality and most are without any chips at all. The price on the carnival glass is competitive and rivals most online antique stores, and certainly any other antique store in San Diego. The variety of color is great too. I collect green carnival glass and found several pieces here. In addition, House of Heirlooms has a cool selection of photographs, most of them showcasing San Diego decades ago. These are incredibly cheap, and would work great for a scrapbooker or artist.

House of Antiques has a large part of their space devoted to costume jewelry and hair accessories. Pins have come back into fashion in a big way, and I've found several vintage pins here for less than $5/apiece. If you're a collector of hat pins, they also have several for sale, all in great condition with no cracks or breaks in the pins. I haven't shopped for anything else here, as the dishes and other knick knacks don't move, and the stock is a bit stagnant and unchanging. However, their jewelry selection is constantly changing, and I try to stop in a few times a month to see what's new.

Garden Communities is a housing development/apartment complex with affordable rent and storage space available for rent at extra cost. The location is great, and positions you within just a few blocks of most everything you'd need; groceries, gym, coffee shops, as well as numberous specialty stores for weekend projects and window shopping. The leases are fair, and the landlords are professional and accomodating. They have repair requests completed ASAP, and will respond on weekends if the need requires it.

Not Very Welcoming Here

I visited several churches during my search for a new religious "home" and I was not impressed with the way guests were treated at True Light Apostolic. I did enjoy the service itself, but there was little direction from the bulletin or the greeters as to "what to do" here. People were signing songs not listed anywhere in the bulletin or posted for all to see. I was confused as to when I should stand or sit, and there was nothing indicated when communion was distributed if all were welcome to receive, or if it was intended for members of the congregation only. Because of this, I won't be back.
*Caution*
Ex-girlfriend posted this for me from waaaaaay the H-E-double toothpick in Eau Claire, WI. She was out for the dinero, man! LOL!
If you look at my older posts and compare to my newer posts that I've personally written from sweet home San Diego, I think it is well defined which are from my talented mind and which aren't.
I can't say I like organized religion at all, as they don't like me. Sad, really...

Hanae Mori's got me hooked...
Jamie, I suggest you try Hanae Mori Paris 'Butterfly' Eau de Parfum. I've always been a sucker for women who wear this fragrance. It's not too floral, yet it manages to keep this strong feminine...
