Nice to see Lot's wife getting some more face time.
Oh, thank God I wasn't the only one thinking along those lines!
But she was naked! And all... articulate!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, Life On Mars has been cancelled.
Irrelevantly.

Our boiler is broken, so this is how my crazy kid has been entertaining himself.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
My heavens that boy is tall.

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 was pretty much average height as a boy until I was in 9th grade, when I had a growth spurt from hell. (I'm 6' 3".)

shrift's hair looks fabulous.
Yeah, the scary thing I heard about Chase was them significantly upping the minimum payments.
We have Bank of America, which we're trying to get out of, and they just lowered D.'s limit to just over his (high) balance. So all the more reason to keep on with the Dave Ramsey plan; that's the card we're tackling next in our debt snowball.
In other scary news, someone shot an elderly couple in the parking lot of our Walmart yesterday. The lady's dead, the gentleman is in critical, and the shooter's on the loose still.

Thank god I have no credit cards. I rather enjoy cackling at the credit reduction ads on TV. I do have a card for Target that I use and pay off, so I do have some existence in the credit world.
Our bankruptcy was removed from our records last year, so now the credit card apps are appearing in the mail box again. If I'm remembering correctly, we have no debt other than Hubby's ancient student loan, which should have been erased by the disability ruling, and a few hundred dollars to a dentist.

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.
I'm just worried because when I consolidated, I put one of my student loans (the one at 8%) on Chase at a 2.99% forever rate. I already pay more than the minimum so I don't mind that going up, but if they change the limit or raise the interest, I'm screwed.

Yeah, as soon as I pay off Chase I was planning on canceling everything but Amex. I don't use them at all, but I was keeping them in case I had to transfer the Chase balance.
ETA: I just got off the phone with Citi and apparently it was inactivity.
