Let’s start this Friday off with a joke, shall we? “A beautiful woman enters a bar and sits next to a lawyer. “Listen honey,” shesays, “For $50, I’ll do absolutely anything you want.” The lawyer looks around, pulls fifty dollars from his wallet and says, “Paint my house.” Ziiiiiiiing! Oh man, i crack myself up. [...]

August 28, 2008

Or at least stop adding to it :) One of my friend’s bf had been going slowly under in credit card debt for years now, and finally decided to do something about it. My friend (the same friend who thought she got $300 extra on her stimulus check) told him it was about time to [...]

Have you ever signed up to a credit card to get a Free T-Shirt?

August 26, 2008

While I hate to admit it, I certainly have! Of course, those were in the ol’ college days when i was pretty naive about things. But man, i shiver just thinking about it! Thank goodness i’m a bit older and wiser now…or at least older ;) Anyways, I was reminded of it when I got [...]

The Jerk Store called…They don’t want your checks anymore.

August 25, 2008

If you’re a check writer, you may not want to read further ;) I’m sooooooooo tired of them holding up the lines at the registers! Why does it seem to take hours to write a simple check? And even more importantly, don’t they know checks are obsolete? haha…okay, so maybe i’m a little biased since [...]

The gov’t gave my friend $300 more on her stimulus check!

August 21, 2008

Holy hot dogs. Would you cash it in if it happened to you? I told her to be veryyyyy careful here, the last thing she wants to do is cash it and then later owe the Gov’t back the $300 + interest at 17%! But is it possible that it’s correct? I don’t think so. [...]

I just paid $4.02 for a Starbucks, and it tasted awesome!

August 20, 2008

I am also a liar. It tasted just the same, except this time my wallet hurt. For the first time in a long while, i actually paid for it with my own dollars today! Imagine that ;) It sounds silly, but it really sucked. As many of you know, our company is pretty bad a$$ [...]
