And to hear that the rest of y'all are paying about $2.00/gal..... Here in Alaska we produce a good amount of oil, and yet we continue to pay the highest (or nearly the highest, not sure about Hawaii) prices in the country. And it's not just Exxon (though those dirty-rotten SOB's are certainly part of the problem) but also BP and Conocco-Phillips. Exxon just happens to be the most frequently sworn-at company. The rest aren't angels by any means. Nor nearly as interested in returning their profits to the communities they "live in".Katihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18312698112377656801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703718837080088488.post-59427879291592103032008-11-01T20:33:00.000-05:002008-11-01T20:33:00.000-05:00http://www.creditunion.coop/cu_locator/index.htmlL...http://www.creditunion.coop/cu_locator/index.html<BR/><BR/>Locate a Credit Union<BR/><BR/>The CUNA database of credit unions allows you to search for credit unions by zipcode, city, state and type of services offered.<BR/><BR/>Additionally, credit unions may serve a limited field of membership. This credit union locator tool can assist you in determining which credit unions might be right for you.Hank Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521410755553979665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703718837080088488.post-4852669462312072072008-11-01T17:58:00.000-05:002008-11-01T17:58:00.000-05:00UGH!

I belong to a local Co-op, I own it along with the other depositors and share holders, we all have to have shares. We can get mortgages there, which are of course held and serviced there. They in turn are in a Co-op of Co-ops that includes 4 Co-ops with about a total of 30 branches altogether. Our Credit Card rates are very low, Money Orders dirt cheap, car loans, easy and cheap. My shares pay about 13 percent a year, the savings interest is always much better than regular banks. No highly paid dead weight officers at the top, and so on.<BR/>Just say no to banking. It isn't hard at all in the internet age.<BR/>Really.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703718837080088488.post-90294342351105929932008-10-31T19:34:00.000-05:002008-10-31T19:34:00.000-05:00Canadian here- don't leave us out!
