Karen’s Opinion

I think that the general plan for credit cards was to make people safer because they didn’t have to carry cash. Cash is much more disposable to a robber and so that is what they want. The mindset of using a credit card has to be one of caution. I find it too easy to not take into account the cost of something because I can pay with a credit card. If I did not have that option I may wait and then find out I didn’t really want the item after all. Many people can handle credit cards and not have a problem. I wish I could be that way. The only way to stop me from using the card is to keep me out of the store. We didn’t have a card for many years. It was hard to get credit without one. We thought it would be good to have in case of an emergency and so after using resources to compare credit cards, we signed up for one. Unfortunately my emergencies come in Small, Medium, or Large. We thought reward credit cards were a good thing until our balance skyrocketed and we looked around to find a low interest card to make a zero balance transfer transaction. Many people are fine with credit cards. I am not. This is a sponsored post

I talked about this on my Clutzy’s Clutzes blog and I feel it is very important so I want to say it on this blog too. Fisher Price has a defect in one of its most popular toys. The nail fasteners in the Little People Animal Sounds Farm could separate from the toy and “pose a serious choking or aspiration hazard to young children. Please keep that in mind when you are choosing the age of a child you let play with this toy.

I would think that raising children alone would be a tiring job. It would be nice for single parents to meet other singles who understand what it’s like. Single Moms would enjoy a website like Singlemomsanddads.com because they could interract with others in the dating community. They would both be on the same footing, so to speak. Sponsored post.

The National Rifle Association of America finally received a check from New Orleans City Attorney Joseph Vincent DiRosa, Jr. who was ordered to pay partial legal fees and costs to NRA’s attorneys for expenses incurred. Mr. DiRosa’s has been dragging his feet in what Federal District Court Judge Carl Barbier called an unprofessional manner..

The NRA is fighting the City of New Orleans for the return of the wrongfully and illegally confiscated firearms to their rightful owners.

Every ruling thus far by the courts has reinforced the fact that the Second Amendment applies to all law-abiding Americans, including law-abiding residents of the City of New Orleans.

This is in direct contradiction to the absurd claims made by the Nagin Administration that the Second Amendment somehow did not apply in New Orleans.

Go NRA. At least some of dh’s dues will go to help New Orleans citizens.

I don’t like having debt. I do however, like to take nice vacations, drive a reliable car and eat out alot. If I had a history of bad credit mortgages, I would need advice from a company who knows about obtaining bad credit secured loans. Bad credit is incurred from not so good repayment of loans or late payments. If I decided to do my best to repay in a timely manner I would get a loan for debt consolidation of all my credit card debt. The interest rate would be high but not as high as a credit card company would charge. When I compare loans, I can see that this type of loan would allow me to get my finances in order and hopefully take a nice vacation. With credit card debt there would be no way I would ever get to do something fun because I would never have any extra money. This post is sponsored by UK Personal Loan Store.
