Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

brillig

is it a Target Visa card or just a Target card?

Just a Target card. I should probably see about getting a real card and do small things with it.

Our wings are not tired.

If you've had a good record with Target, you may be able to call them and ask them to switch it to the Target Visa.

Remember that most balance transfer offers include a percentage fee, so they're not really zero interest situations (though it can still save you hundreds of dollars in interest compared to a regular credit card balance).

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

That's the idea. Or at least, shift as much of the balance to the new card as I think I can pay off during the promotional period. Since I assume the interest on a line of credit would be more than 0%, this way is the cheapest.

I would recommend doing it sooner than later. Recent credit applications are a fairly big hit.

I put everything on my credit card but I enter the transactions into my check register as if they were cash/debit, so I know I have the money to cover it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I put everything on my credit card but I enter the transactions into my check register as if they were cash/debit, so I know I have the money to cover it.

That's my approximate modus operandi. I still use my debit card from time to time so I don't have some sort of attack when the credit card bill comes, but I get reward points, so I figure I might as well generate them.

I have a question spurred by a story I just read--how old is old enough to leave sitting in a bath by themselves while you answer the door, presumably out of really easy earshot?

ita, young children can drown in 2 inches of water.

I would probably say 5?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

From five years old is what I've seen too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My friend leaves her 2 and 4 year-olds alone together in the bath, but acknowledges it's not recommended.

I look sideways at your friend. Maybe a 4-year-old is OK to leave alone, but leaving a 2-year-old under the supervision of a prekindergardener? Oh HELL no!
