One of the benefits of marrying into a military family is access to USAA, which is a non-profit bank and insurance agency for federal government employees. They don’t gave a rat’s ass about “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and they DO give you free ATM withdrawals.

Okay, sweetie, your list is very entertaining. I trust the items are in random order, or I will protest being less important than bok choy. Thanks for including Bill.
