OP will get her money back. Per Federal Regulation Z the bank has 60 days to prove the charge its valid. They've uncovered evidence suggesting it was fraudulent. OP needs to follow up with the letter.

Taking a Student Loan as a Post-Graduation Resource? by barrackinhoin personalfinance

There's your answer.

Should I use credit to buy an expensive airplane flight? by credit_y_nin personalfinance

Do it. You'll pay a little bit extra in interest, but since you're saving so much in room and board it still makes financial sense.

Please help me find a new bank that fits my unique needs. I am finally leaving Bank of America! by DaddyAndyin personalfinance

[–]rosstrich 1 point2 points ago

Highly recommend ING. Especially if you're a saver. It's a breeze to open up multiple accounts with them (i.e. its a few clicks and you have a brand new account with no forms to sign).

Call them and speak with a rep. This is an easy fix.

I bought tickets to my first NFL game by TheRiseOfMathsin nfl

[–]rosstrich 8 points9 points ago

You'll notice all the things that are different right away. TV timeouts, corny halftime and between quarter shows and contests. My absolute FAVORITE part of the live experience though is SEEING ALL THE FUCKING PLAYERS. Normally when you watch TV the WRs run off the side of the screen and the quarterback throws to some blind spot until the camera eventually pans over. In person though, you'll notice wideouts getting open and the play developing. There's nothing more intense than seeing your favorite player burn another teams DB and then looking back at the QB who's ready to toss it up to him.

Report -- Junior Seau's family revisiting decision to allow researchers to study brain by robert32907in nfl

[–]rosstrich 0 points1 point ago

The morning after my dad died of an unexpected heart attack my mom got a call from the hospital asking if we wanted to donate my father's corneas. We were still in shock and thought of what he would have wanted. We figured he wouldn't have cared and said to go ahead. Then they kept asking my mom for more...kidneys, liver, etc. This freaked my mom out and she said something along the lines of "I can't imagine them just cutting him up into little pieces" and told them to forget everything. I bet the Seau family might be going through something similar.

Always wear jeans when you brew. A tale of repeated stupidity. by Xalwinein Homebrewing

[–]rosstrich 0 points1 point ago

Not to sound skeptical or anything, but dipping the tip of a toothpick in oil and then stirring that toothpick in? Sounds very homeopathic. Granted yeast are tiny, but there's going to be trillions of the little guys swimming around.

Sorry to hear about your burn? What does the olive oil do?

What made you start brewing? by stopbeingsheepin Homebrewing

[–]rosstrich 2 points3 points ago

I got interested in it when I found out President Obama keeps bees on the White House lawn for a honey beer that he brews. I thought that was so bad ass. SWMBO got me all the equipment as a Christmas gift after hearing me talk about how bad ass I thought it was.

He's correct. Legally speaking its not beer until the yeast has been added.

How do the browns' Fans feel about Weeden? by Mbradley5587in nfl

[–]rosstrich 10 points11 points ago

I would think that if Denver would draft a quarterback to learn under Peyton Manning they would pick a younger one to do so, that way he's not Peyton's age right now when Peyton is done playing.

[–]rosstrich 4 points5 points ago

So we can probably add Ponder to the list of teams with QBs whose teams have invested enough in them to sit tight.

LMAO @ the Arizona Cardinals! They picked a somewhat above-average WR instead of Melvin Ingram?!! by moby323in nfl

[–]rosstrich 0 points1 point ago

Considering the Cards' current DE's are Darnell Dockett and Calais Campbell, there wasn't a huge need there.

Hiyooo

How do the browns' Fans feel about Weeden? by Mbradley5587in nfl

[–]rosstrich 36 points37 points ago*

In order, the quarterbacks that play for the teams drafting between the Browns' last pick in the 1st, and their pick in the second.

  1. Matthew Stafford
  2. Ben Roethlisberger
  3. Tom Brady
  4. Matt Shaub
  5. Andy Dalton
  6. Christian Ponder
  7. Alex Smith
  8. Aaron Rodgers
  9. Josh Freeman
  10. Eli Manning
  11. Sam Bradford
  12. Andrew Luck
  13. Joe Flacco
  14. Peyton Manning

I'm not even going to count how many Pro Bowls and Super Bowls there are in that list.

With the exception of Ponder, NONE of these teams had a need at QB and I bet anything Weeden would have been available (but still not a good idea to draft). Of course any teams can pick at any time with enough trade bait, so there's no guarantee that a team with a QB need wouldn't have traded into that spot, but outside of the Browns, there are hardly any teams with a QB need. Indy, Washington, and Miami already took care of their needs. Every other team in the league either has a great quarterback, or has enough invested in their current quarterbacks to stay put (ex. Seattle signing Matt Flynn, AZ paying Kevin Kolb his bonus).

EDIT FORGOT MVP AARON RODGERS

So, who had the best first round? by Bronan_the_Brobarianin nfl

[–]rosstrich 6 points7 points ago

I'd say the Bucs. Got a great safety and 7 and jumped in to grab Doug Martin at 31 ahead of New York.

I love the Cowboys pick with Morris Claiborne also. The Redskins go and bet the farm on a fancy new QB and the pick they originally had gets snagged by the Cowboys to grab a corner to shut down any WR Griffin is throwing to.

Who else wants Goodell to be booed off stage? by GibbsAHin nfl

[–]rosstrich 0 points1 point ago

I actually think Goodell's done a pretty good job for the league and the sport in general. I think he could do a lot more in terms of player safety and online streaming access to game, but I've got no complaints.

Hate it when this happens...... by ChicagoAnalogin Homebrewing

This happened to me but not at bottling. I bottled a chocolate stout in reused Sierra Nevada Pale Ale bottles. About a month and a half after bottling, girlfriend and I were hosting a tasting party and as I was prying a cap off, the whole top of the bottle went with it.
