  1. I'm sure his password is OUsucks!
  2. Thanks! That was the confusing part which I neglected to include in my post. Neither the new bank nor Wells made any mention of an SBA number or an SBA loan number, which I remember from upthread. Just the "e tran" number which prevented us from applying with another bank. Meanwhile, we have colleagues who are applying to 2 or 3 banks (including Wells) without being stopped. You know all the days just seem the same to me. Last week, 2 weeks ago, last month, all seem like a year ago
  3. I seem to remember this being discussed earlier in the thread, but things seem to be changing every day, so throwing this out now. Right after the 2nd round of funding was approved for PPP, we submitted an app to Wells. So like 3-4 weeks ago. Wells go silent, just sending us the same form email every day until last Friday. Last Weds, we attempt to apply with another, smaller bank "community development bank" by their own description. We fully disclose that we have a pending app with Wells. They are great with respect to customer service. Their online app is kinda...shitty...so we have to email in a bunch of docs that were supposed to be uploaded, skip certain parts of the online app, etc. New bank comes back on Thu and says they cannot send in our request because SBA has already assigned an "e tran" number which prevents us from applying with any other institution. On Saturday, we get an email from Wells with an actual loan doc for the amount calculated in the initial Wells app. We fill out and submit, sign via docusign. Anyone have any idea where we really stand?
  4. I wouldn’t put it past GWB to have baited Trump into a comment like that.
  5. And sometimes, they relocate cemeteries, but only move the headstones and leave the graves in place. Then build houses on top of them.
  6. It's not too bad if you go in off hours, which is what it sounds like he did, provided that was a weekday. Buddy and I once went from LAX to downtown Vegas in 3.5 hours, without even really trying. I set it in cruise at 89 for most of the way. Only took it over 100 a couple time just...because. Of course, that was a Weds at like 530a.
  7. Something tells me that none of these folks are aware that the song that they based their demonstration on is hailed by the LGBTQ community as a rallying theme.
  8. I agree with you. By my calc's the break-even is around $25-$26 per hour, although the article says $30. Regardless, hourly-wage workers in that range aren't really good at the big picture. Add that in to the fact that some, if not many businesses don't treat their hourly-wage employees well, and yeah, it's a problem. If I'm making $23 per hour and can get the same by doing nothing, and you treat me like crap, why the heck would I care about your business? We've got this problem now, and we treat our folks well, some of whom have been around since we opened the doors in 2006.
  9. Website taken down. If an appointee has an embarrassing website, isn't taking it down something you do BEFORE you announce the appointment?
  10. EIDL payments starting to come out. Most folks are getting $1k per employee up to a max of $10k. It's odd, we never got an email but the money showed up last night. Wife's (no pics assholes) dental practice got an email a couple weeks ago and her money showed up this morning, as it did for a couple of her dentist friends.
  11. The GA governor was the one who, until around April 1, didn't know asymptomatic people could spread the virus, right? Doubling down on the stupid I guess.
  12. Check with Vic, I'm sure he's always in need.
  13. Posted upthread, but lost (understandably) in the EIDl PPP mix. "The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) recently signed into law by the President of the United States provides significant relief to small businesses. It is important to note that the CARES Act provides immediate payment relief for all existing SBA section 7(a) loans and new loans made in the six months after the enactment date of March 27, 2020. SBA will cover six months of principal, interest and fees for which the borrowers will never be responsible for again" from the link: https://www.homestreet.com/business/small-business/sba-loans/sba-relief-funding Homestreet emailed us before I even knew about this to tell us about it. They also said they would refund any payments made after 3/27. Since our payment is normally due on the first, we asked them to refund and they said 'no problem.' Refund hasn't hit the bank account yet, but this was only last Thu 4/2.
  14. I don't quite get the aversion to masks. Cultural? I guess...but masks weren't widely used in Asia until SARS hit in the early 2000's. Not like it's some kind of ancient Chinese secret.
  15. And we wouldn’t have rushed and missed the xp and USC would not have had time to make a fg at the end of the half.
  16. Just FYI, we got an SBA loan ~4 years ago to buy the building we're in. Today, Homestreet Bank emailed us today and said "SBA has been mandated to make all SBA borrowers’ loan payments for a period of 6 months starting with payments due after 3/27/2020." They went on to say that any payments made after 3/27 would be refunded, all you gotta do is ask. So we asked and they said OK. https://www.homestreet.com/business/small-business/sba-loans/sba-relief-funding seems poorly worded but indicates that we won't ever have to make that up.
