I've never found paying the minimum remotely attractive (I know how to read). But then I am not retarded. I take responsibility for my actions and manage to get through this scary adult world unscathed.
It is credit. "What if you lost your job?!?" Well, like most responsible people I have savings. In the direst scenario I have friends and family to turn to. I cannot conceive of just charging up my credit cards like an imbecile and then whining about my debt.
You do realize that part of the reason for the high interest rates is that there are people who default on their cards. Would you rather that this form of credit were not offered at all? That there be no penalties for late payments? It's difficult to make out who you are trying to defend other than people who are mentally disabled and/or unwilling to meet their financial obligations.
Not saying that at all. Read a few stories about people who paid on time for years, with no balance, and then lost a job or had a medical emergency. See what happens then. I agree that people misuse credit cards, but the companies make it very, very easy and attractive to spend money and pay only a minimum. You are not a profitable customer for a credit card issuer. I sincerely hope you never get into a situation where something prevents you from paying off your balance. Once that happens, it can be a slippery slope.
So who is forcing you to carry a balance? I've not paid a dime in credit card interest in over ten years. It has something to do with keeping a sensible budget.
No, this is obviously a sinister industry scam. It just shows how big business has been influencing government since the dawn of the republic. I will bet that Daylight Saving Time also gives children leukemia. In protest I am going to go ram my van into a shopping mall and then force the police to disturbingly pepper spray me into submission.
Not working for me -- I added the products you did, and keep getting an error message that I need to add eligible items to my cart for the coupons to work.
Hate to tell ya, but in my area the paper is $3.19 x 10 = $31.90. No free shipping for me...$7.95 for shipping. The $10 is useful, but not as good of a deal for just paper. LOL
Could it be because there's like 9 Staples (I used to work for one of them), 3 Office Max, and 1 Office Depot? LOL. The competition is fierce up here.
As unglamourous as it is, it is important to go for a "mole check" at your dermatologist. They'll do a visual connect the dots, and "punch" out any that look fishy to send out for a biopsy. I can vouch that this is totally not painful.
According to the Skin Cancer Foundation "Melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer. However, if it is recognized and treated early, it is nearly 100 percent curable."
Remember, Will, it's OK to have more than soap and toothpaste in your bathroom. Besides, most of the stronger peels don't come in really sexy packaging, so you can just go ahead and use it without worrying too much about anyone talking. :)
I used to live in Western China, and mainland China is allon the same time zone, Beijing Time. It's akin to living in San Francisco but running on New York time. So I'd have to start teaching at 8AM, which was really 5AM local time. However, some of the locals felt like they should go by Western Time, so when I was getting ready to go to bed at 12PM, coworkers would show up claiming that it was only 9PM and didn't I feel like preparing them some tea?
Forcing everyone to be on the same time zone was just plain odd. I don't think DST is really something that Americans mean to impose on everyone else - just something that seemed like a good idea that everyone was then obliged to follow. But out of all the things that we can and do mess up, worldwide, I'd say it ranks pretty low, wouldn't you?
I condone this entire initiative for the States to do something like this.
Don't get me wrong. I understand the benefits to having an extra hour of sunlight to catch up on your Vitamin D, an extra hour for Hallowe'en (I am all about the candy), and an extra hour for everything, but this goes to show a couple of things.
1. Not everyone in the States is on board. You've mentioned a couple of them - livestock farmers, states like Indiana split in half.. I mean, the bad thing about not everyone in the States being on board is that you have people on 2 different time zones, and timing will just get messed up!! If you're travelling from one state to another, and you expect the time to be 3 p.m. for your meeting, but it ends up being 4 p.m. half an hour away because of DST... That's just ridiculous. Why would you want to complicate businesses even further? I have a hard enough time waking up for 8 a.m., but if I have to go to a non-DST section and actually wake up at 7 a.m., I'm going to be mighty cranky.
2. Imposing DST on countries that never wanted to be on it in the first place.
Can you imagine the havoc? Truckers from Canada, coming down to do a delivery at 11 a.m., and getting there for noon, or later, and having missed their loading dock slot, and waiting for 3-4 more hours, costing everyone more time and money because of DST because SOME states aren't doing it all the way, or what have you. The whole point of time zones, was so the world could be divided, in vertical chunks so everyone could have a proper idea of what time it was in another part of the world. What's next? The States will decide that the world should stop revolving because it's making the yokels dizzy? Or starting an initiative to completely and physically, drill down into the Earth and physically cut the States off from Mexico and Canada, turning it into an island so it'd be harder for immigrants to sneak over?
which brings me to my next point...
3. Being as selfish as a toddler, and showing the world utter and brazen disrespct.
You're not considering that the world has to now adjust to the whims of the States. I understand that the States is a powerful global player, bla bla bla, but they're abusing that position and status by changing the damn time zones to suit THEIR needs. Can no one see how the world would view how selfish the States is being? And how they're kind of acting like a cranky (albeit greedy) toddler throwing a tantrum because they want to stay up later?
If every country wanted to be as selfish as the States, I'm sure they could think of a whole bunch of things to do. This is just making the States seem more of a target to other countries who already hate their guts.

If credit card companies don't make money from "deadbeats", then how does American Express make any money at all? The answer is transaction fees.
Yes, get right on that.

Keep the deals coming! Last time I got a deal this good was at a garage sale!
You might have something there with the leukemia theory. I'm on it. I'll let you know what I find!
I am new to your blog...and am loving it. Thankyou for the great deal
Kelly
Perfect for my new printer.
Here's a 19¢ item if you just don't want the pens: a tape replacement core

Now guys can give chemical peels a try without feeling self conscious! I can tell people I'm doing it for my health. Thanks Andrea!
