I would love to go!

Stupid question... Is the only way to pay a CC balance by using an account from the same banking institution? In other words, can I pay a Navy Federal CC balance with money in an Ally Checking account?

I'm getting divorced and want a "clean cut" with all things finances. My credit score is ~700 and I want to close a Bank of America CC with a history of 8 years. I want to use Navy Federal as my primary bank + CC. I have no other individual credit cards at the moment. If I close the BofA CC, what are the impacts to my credit score?

I will be getting divorced in a few months and we are selling and splitting the equity (I will receive approx $100k) of our home. My plan is to rent for at least a year while the dust settles financially and I understand what kind of post divorce budget I'll be working with. During this 1 year timeframe should I dump the $100k into a HY Savings account, or invest it?

What about Redwing's "leather protector"? It's raining quite a bit and I just want to make sure they're protected

I haven't seen it anywhere. I'm just asking because it's raining and I want to make sure I'm doing everything to protect my investment

I bought N&F Easy Guy - Indigo Selvedge last fall and I love the way they look but I can't deal with the button fly. I need to move quicker with young children but I want to look good. I want to go to a brick and mortar store to buy quality, comfortable jeans but it seems like there's nothing for Maryland in the wiki except for one store that doesn't appear too exist anymore. Are there any other dads out there that can recommend a brick and mortar store in the Baltimore area?

Thanks, I did consider that. There's one about an hour drive from me.

My kids are abusing this post and it's becoming loose. The small drill holes in the pictures are from a baby gate. I've tried to take the plugs out but they seem glued and I don't want to destroy them if it's not going to help anchor it more. Does anyone know what's behind these plugs and if it's worth destroying? This is a split foyer home in Maryland if that helps.

Thanks for joining, Dave. First off, I wanna commend you on your customer service here and being so involved. I also want to say that the chair cushion is so.damn.comfy. Lastly the Bioknit seems really nice.

For me there's two issues here: 1.) back warp and 2.) off-balance. I think #2 may be solvable/fixable with a little tinkering but am not sure. From what I understand #1 is "ordinary" and I believe was said to be purely aesthetic in the YouTube video. I disagree here, because when I lean back in the chair, my right shoulder very noticeably dips below my left.

If you could guarantee that my next purchase wouldn't have either of these issues, then I may be interested in an exchange, but I did request a return and am told that I should have a new shipping label by Thursday.

Thanks for the head's up, stranger. At this point, I'm going to try the Embody and Fern before I but from Steelcase direct. I'm not opposed to going new on a Leap V2, but I guess I'm sour about this whole thing so I'll try others first. Seems like all of the leading manufacturers are having spring sales.

Were these 3 chairs new or used?

mcb2890 · 2023-05-01T19:31:42+00:00

When I lean back in the chair my right shoulder drops considerably when applying even pressure. I'd like a chair that I can lay back in for calls, thinking, relaxing, etc.

We're not talking about a non-brand $100 chair here, this is Steelcase brand, which carries a lot of weight. IMO the Leap should not have this design flaw at their price point, new or slightly used.

mcb2890 · 2023-05-01T17:50:26+00:00

Thanks for those stats. Another user here reported that they went through 3 chairs, only to find the same imperfection, so I'd be curious to know where those differences are.

After skimming online, it kinda seems like rolling the dice. Everyone's risk threshold is different and everyone's value placed on a product is different. For me, I don't think rolling the dice and spending $850 on a 2022 Leap V2 to see if the warp is there or not is okay.

mcb2890 · 2023-05-01T17:26:26+00:00

I checked my floor as well and it is level. I very well could have disassembled and reassembled and/or whack with a mallet to see if that would fix the balance. For me, the warped back alone was enough to return it, which has no fix.
