11:07 @welovethebart LOL, Bart, very cute (and also slightly creepy, which I think you might have been going for?) #

11:24 @BeccaG HOORAY! I wondered if that would happen now. #

18:14 @BeccaG Oh, is that why they do that? #

18:37 @BeccaG No, I think that makes sense! I thought it was weird that all of a sudden she was leaving us her name and address via Christmas card #

07:47 @cuteculturechic great thing about ING is no branches, so it doesn't matter where u live. plus overdraft fees are non-existent to fair. #

07:49 @franniepants That article is pretty imbalanced. Plus if you're pregnant you get the thermisol-free version, which is the main concern #

07:50 @cuteculturechick "...does not charge a fee to use your overdraft...if you use it, you will only pay interest on the amount you borrow." #

07:51 @cuteculturechick plus there's a free ATM at just about every Target. which is dangerous for my wallet. ;) haha #
