Good News!

Good News! That is how a letter I got today from my credit card company.
I can request an increase in my credit card limit--instant!  No hassle!  Ask and it is mine.

Good news indeed.  And how lucky am I?  The opportunity to sink myself into debt is as good as winning the lottery.  Really, there is no need for me to want for a single thing.

So you won't be able to call me because I have no cell service...but I will be out shopping anyway.

    It is good to have a high credit limit, though. You never know when it might come in handy.

      See,to my way of thinking, using a credit card for an emergency is inviting a second emergency--paying it off. That's why I keep me cash in the mattress.:))

    I think you are a good candidate and they wish you would bite. Thankfully, you didn't. That's what shredders are for.

    Those of us with the seasoning years brings know better. I feel for the youngsters who really do think they have won the lottery.

    College youngsters when Bank of America sent an unsolicited credit card. (That used to be legal.) It took 36 years to break the credit card habit and to climb out of the deep, dark debt hole of increased credit limits.

    The worst ones are those that get sent to impoverished young students! Hopefully, they won't catch us wise old ducks.

    Keeping your cash under the mattress earns about the same interest as having it in a savings account and it is probably a hell of lot safer. You only have to worry about the local thieves breaking in your house...not the world wide thieves breaking in the fire wall at your bank.

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own ...

Life Goes On

There is nothing like a visit from the grand children to remind one that life goes on.  I spent Friday night at my daughter's and then brought the kids back home with me.  I did not get to see so much of them this past summer and it was a birthday gift to my daughter (who just turned 40!) to have a couple of days to herself. She probably spent them in her son's room playing Lego StarWars.  Dane tried to teach me how to play this video game--a hopeless task if ever there was one.  "Concentrate, Grandma!  You have to concentrate!"  I do have a hard time with sustained concentration lately, but in this case I had no clue what it was that needed concentration.  He finally took the controls away from me (thank-you!). It's amazing how long he can amuse himself at my house being out side on a scooter or helping me in the yard, especially if it involves a hose.  Inside, they both sit and draw or craft for hours.  Just before bed, Dane did say, "N...

Morning Coffee

As a rule, I drink two cups of coffee in the morning. Gone are the days when I drank coffee all day and even had a cup after dinner--and never decaf.  When I was a working mom, the sleep deprivation made it kind of necessary in order to function.  These days, if I had a cup of coffee after lunch, I would be awake all night. But I do like my morning coffee.  Now I mix regular and decaf.  I can't quite seem to kick caffeine entirely. Wednesday morning there was no milk, no white stuff of any kind.  Thursday morning my sone left a note on the coffee maker--carafe was cracked.  Desperate times! I was not able to find a replacement carafe.  At least I was not able to dedicate my entire day to finding one.  So I bought a Mr. Coffee--a little five cup one for around 15 dollars.  I was thinking that I never drink more than two cups so why not. What I forgot about is that the manufacturers of coffee makers definition of a cup is, at best, ha...
