I was watching the Food Network and they had some food cooking contest of some sort on. It’s not like I was paying attention. That would require an attention span, which I’m seriously lacking these days. So anyway, I did hear that this one woman was participating again to see if she could win first place for the third time.

Seems like someone needs to get a life.<\/p>\n

The credit cards aren’t evil, you’re just bad with your finances. If you can’t control yourself, don’t blame it on anyone else but yourself. It’s like suing the tobacco companies for getting lung cancer after you’ve smoked for 20 years. Come on, let’s take responsibility for our actions for a change.<\/p>\n
