The initial opt-out was (see an earlier post for a link); the claim form was much more recent (last year?), but I don't think it went to anyone who ignored the opt-out, because the opt-out seemed to include an initial statement of claim, too.

I am fairly certain I did nothing about the opt out (which I don't remember) and still got the claim form. Which makes sense given that it is an opt out not an opt in.

I'm not holding my breath for any of the DeBeers class action settlement proceeds.

I'm still bitterly unsatisfied with my non-settlement from Barbri.

My diamond dealer is packing. Multiple weapons. I am not fucking around with him on any class action nonsense. He's killed men for lesser misdeeds.

So, if I have good credit, what % do I need to put down to get a good rate for a home?

FWIW, let's assume 20% is a stretch. Let's also assume that I'm looking above the $417,000* conforming loan rate. Do banks even let people piggyback anymore?

*ridiculous for many parts of Chicago and its burbs. Flyover land gets no love.

Laphroiag in an upscale bar in the Theater District leads to PBRs and tequila in Hell's Kitchen. I feel like the carpet in my hotel room. Goddamn it, Shifter.

Nothing like Laphroig. I have a recipe for hot chocolate that depends on Laphroig's smokey charm (Melt a couple squares of baker's chocolate and add a shot of cream, a shot of espresso and sufficient sugar to thicken the whole thing to a sort of molten fudge; just before serving stir in a shot of laphroig). It is the ideal antidote to a laphroig and tequila hangover.

What the PBR is doing in there I don't know.

Seems like a waste of good scotch to me.

I wasn't aware that there was a limited supply.

At least you don't feel like Vadim's fine, multicultural salmon colored couch.

If you have good credit there is money to be had at less than 20% down and with piggybacking. At least in my market.

I sure hope there isn't.....I am partying, kilt, no underware, with the Scotch Malt Whiskey Society at their Annual Single Malt & Scotch Whisky Extravaganza next month. I am looking forward to a bottomless glass.

There is a limit on my supply of dollars to be spent on scotch.
