this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

So I got a notice today from Citibank saying my credit line was reduced to $100 (from $10000+). Is this a bankruptcy thing? Or an "I never use that card" thing?

I don't care since I never use that card; I was just keeping it as a safety until I pay off the student loan I put on my Chase card. But I can't afford getting something like this from Chase.

Megan, I've been hearing/reading news stories about that a lot recently. Even business accounts that were active AND being paid on time have had their limits slashed. I heard an NPR story about American Express offering money -- $500, maybe? -- to certain cardholders to close their accounts.

This, I think, is not the way to get the economy moving.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've had my education at the bottom of my resume forever -- I put it at the top again for this job, because I was actually in grad school, but otherwise, I think work experience is more compelling than education in most fields.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Yeah, and watch out too, because a bunch of credit cards are having their interest rate abruptly raised high enough to make your eyes bleed. I know people it's happened to.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Allyson, you definitely want your experience at the top of your resume. I put my educational stuff at the bottom.

Christian salt? @@@@@@@

shrift's hair is of the awesome! I'm bookmarking that. When I grow out the pixie, that's going to be the cut I aspire to.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I want FSM salt. Blessed by a pirate.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Christian salt

Nice to see Lot's wife getting some more face time.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Lot's wife

Not Christian.

I really wonder whether this guy actually knows what kosher salt is. Because the sea salt that he's peddling can't just be used as a replacement.

I wonder what the blessing was that the priest said over the salt.

Lot was Abraham's nephew, which puts him in the Book of Genesis, way before Jesus.
