But yes, I’m still here.
It seems I’ve been pre-approved for a car loan. The terms are crap, and I’m not in the market for a new car, but there was a useful bit of information in the mailer. Quoting it here, since it seems as good a plance as anywhere else, and better than some.

Yes, I noticed that the phone numbers are all the same, I haven’t called it yet to see where it really goes, and I suppose I should doupble check those addresses too. I’ll get around to updating this at some point. But if you are interested ion cutting back on at least some of your junk mail in the US, those would be a good place to start.
The first three are also a good place to obtain your credit report. Always a good idea to check that every couple of years at the very least. (Every 6mo. is what I’ve heard reccomended. I check mine once a year or so)
So there you have it; A slightly more than an “I’m Still Here” post.
Right then, what category do I stick this in? Blogging I guess…
