I'm sure that's how they make a lot of their money, taking advantage of the fact that most people are just too damn busy and tired to stay on top of it, obsessively check and recheck almost every month, and follow up on every glitch.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Perkins, I tried the Converse site and it worked for me. Pink gingham is, unfortunately, not one of the canvas choices.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That is very sad making. I've seen pink gingham high tops, but that is not what I want.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm sure that's how they make a lot of their money, taking advantage of the fact that most people are just too damn busy and tired to stay on top of it, obsessively check and recheck almost every month, and follow up on every glitch.
A lot of their money? That's how they make money. They don't want you to pay off your debt. Your debt is a little money farm for them and they harvest the debt. You pay off your debt and you've just destroyed the crops they harvest.
The economics of the credit world are crazy topsy turvy land, but you should never mistake it for the world of protestant thrift and never-a-borrower-be, and repaying-your-debts-is-a-virtue.

The status is NOT quo.
Hiya Bitches! I'm in Ohio. The cats are miraculously happy and quiet and have been all day. Very odd. My Treo is about to run out of battery power, and I need to get gas...so this is a cameo. Onward to Econolodge.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Fuck. I need a baby sitter Saturday night. Crap crap crap crap crap.

Very belated YAY for team P-C with the parent-conversation. Also a Yay for Jilli with the (scarysounding) interview.
(((((Susan))))) I have no words.
I do not have a credit card. I'm fairly sure I have a terrible credit rating, and would not be able to get one. Having this confirmed scares me too much to actually try - but that's okay, because I don't want a credit card, because I don't think I can be trusted with one - I am very irresponsible with money. Very. It's scary.
'Course, this means that I don't think about making Big Grownup purchases like cars and flats and stuff, and I'm not seeing that changing anytime soon.
Meanwhile I've been home (and awake) for maybe 24 hours, and in that time I've spent £200. And I haven't even left the house! However, I should have winging their way to me Seasons 1-7 of Stargate, Season 4 of Alias and Seasons 1 - 5 of Babylon 5. And I think that's not bad, for £200 (including postage and packaging).
From Amazon, Stargate would have set me back £140 plus postage, Babylon 5 would have set me back £150 plus postage and Alias Season 4 isn't actually available yet. (And, okay, I may find it's very much not Alias Season 4, but I'm quite ready to take a chance.) So - yes, lots of money. But LOTS of DVDs.

(heading out the virtual door) Aims, can't help you this time...but is it at all comforting that I'll be able to say yes soon?

No woman wants to wind up with a statistician. (Sorry. Only 0.36% of all women want to wind up with a statistician.)
Hahah! I still like the "Standard Deviation Not Enough" part. :)
I don't feel so bad about my crack addiction - at least it's not NASCAR fanfic
Hee! And, ew!
Aiiiiieeeee. flail NaNa Kei Love these. Want these. Must have these. So must JZ and Jilli. Must must must.
OOooh. Those ARE fun!!!
I was supposed to go see "Murderball" with one of my coworkers today, but I stayed at work a little too late, and then realized I needed gas, so I would've gotten there a few minutes after it started. Dang. Ah well, will have to see it matinee over the weekend.
When Leif saw those, he said, "Those are matches. They are for starting fires!"
Dude. He's starting early.
as he needs to deposit ten grand before his bank card expires at the end of the month
Damn. That's a lot of dough!
If you are one of the 36% of all cardholders who pay off your entire balance on time each month to avoid finance charges, you may soon be penalized.
That is so fucking wrong. Of course, now that most bank cards can function as credit cards, I suppose I could move to using that, but...I like to see it all added up at the end of the month.
And like others, I am all about the student loan debt instead.
And that interviewers like to ask logic puzzle questions? shudders
Like, "if Bob has four neighbors, and Jan lives in a white house..." kind of things? I like those! I'm sad they're not on teh GRE anymore (I need to retake it if I want to go to grad school)
