Back in the beginning of December, I purchased a set of Christmas cards at a Barnes and Noble, that is not my local Barnes and Noble. They were made of a lovely card stock and had a bird sitting on a branch on the outside and Season’s Greetings written on the inside. Simple and lovely. [...]

I don’t think this was what Vince Shilomi had in mind during his infomercial for ShamWow! Today was our friend Scott’s birthday and as a gift, our friends bought ShamWows and made them into pants. Just imagine all the creative uses for pants such as these. No matter how many times I requested it, he [...]

I noticed today that you have put a contract on the townhouse two doors down. I can only surmise that you are a poor misguided fool purchasing their first home. We decided to rent while living in NJ because of the high cost of real estate and the taxes. I know you are congratulating yourself [...]

I recall with fondness the days when I could fill out a 1040 EZ form because I made jack squat as a college student/part-time jill of all trades.

We received our American Express statement in the mail today. AMEX has a cool rewards program. We use the card to earn points toward those rewards. Pete noticed that our APR had gone from 9.9% to a whopping 12.9%. We pay the balance on the card in full each month. We have [...]
