I am at work right ow, so no time, but I was just wondering where you are from? I grew up in Cedar Grove, just north of Milwaukee (altho most of my high school buds now live in Milwaukee), but I live now in Michigan. I was just curious!<BR/><BR/>Will write/read more later<BR/><BR/>Hugs from Michigan - DianeDiane Fay (littlealma)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02825847496677271674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715775199766961025.post-69040621345808073952008-11-26T21:49:00.000-08:002008-11-26T21:49:00.000-08:00Hi Dawn!I just found your comment about brining a ...Hi Dawn!<BR/>I just found your comment about brining a turkey, no I've never prepared a turkey that way, I have seen it done on the Food Network, looks interesting. <BR/>Happy Thanksgiving!<BR/><BR/>CarolCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16807721575596262434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715775199766961025.post-89604205715148277992008-11-26T19:00:00.000-08:002008-11-26T19:00:00.000-08:00Congratulations You won the Frida Kahlo box giveaw...Congratulations You won the Frida Kahlo box giveaway!!!

I spent many years in Customer Service and customers have about a five minute limit when it comes to being on hold. Luckily, I usually worked for companies that worked to meet that threshold.<BR/><BR/>The hidden fees that credit card companies assess is out of control. I'm sorry it ruined your day and I hope you win all of your battles. <BR/><BR/>I hope you have a good Thanksgiving anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715775199766961025.post-43869427544420062112008-11-26T13:43:00.000-08:002008-11-26T13:43:00.000-08:00Hi Dawn ~ I so agree with you.

It really does suck because after having perfect credit my whole life, it's horrible now because of my ex-husband sticking me with all the bills during the divorce. Oh well...live and learn!<BR/><BR/>Have a great Thanksgiving!<BR/><BR/>Hugz,<BR/>MicheleMichelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10969143282283016757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715775199766961025.post-57883007330868921612008-11-26T12:37:00.000-08:002008-11-26T12:37:00.000-08:00wow thats pretty scary. what scares me is i wonde...wow thats pretty scary. what scares me is i wonder do we even have any recourses in things such as this?

Your name, your credit score, still exists. All that time that your "credit" sits there it is accumulating points because it is "good." Granted it doesn't increase nearly as much as it would if you would buy a lot of stuff and pay it off.<BR/><BR/>Your credit grows the more expensive stuff you buy too. Say you buy a home and a car, the investment you made, will help your credit score if you are paying it off on time. Even if you don't have any cards.<BR/><BR/>Think of credit as reputation.HektikLyfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02865530974330320159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715775199766961025.post-32851796356904950202008-11-26T10:44:00.000-08:002008-11-26T10:44:00.000-08:00Hi Dawn:I was totally against the bail out too, fo...Hi Dawn:<BR/>I was totally against the bail out too, for the same reason as you. All the years of raising my kids and living pay check to pay check, I managed to pay all our bills on time. I wanted to go on vacation and do fun things, but the bills came first and the orthodonics on 3 of the kids had to be paid. No one bailed me out either. It's all those CEO's and their big bonus checks and the bad loans they made. <BR/>I tried to cancel a couple of my credit cards and they said it would lower my fico score, so I just leave them open and don't use them. I don't have any cards charging a fee, as of now, but if they start, I'll just close them all out, whether it lowers my score or not. And I agree...nothing is worse than sitting on hold forever waiting for a live person to talk to.<BR/>Well, don't let it ruin your holiday....Have fun.<BR/>GingerGingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17525015607826244834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715775199766961025.post-40892366614221663352008-11-26T09:53:00.000-08:002008-11-26T09:53:00.000-08:00If you come back you need to explain to me--why yo...If you come back you need to explain to me--why your score jumps if you dont have cards with annual fees?<BR/><BR/>I only had that one card that they charge a fee--and like I said I didnt know they were going to do that after all these years. My guess is--they are feeling the pinch and beginning to do things like that to make money.Dawn Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11738975580656220888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715775199766961025.post-78386567703317534622008-11-26T08:59:00.000-08:002008-11-26T08:59:00.000-08:00Credit can be a pain.
