Gap should send me real-time messages every time they are having sale<br />2. Bojangles should send me a real-time message when they run out of chicken at night (just happened)<br />3. my uterus should send me a message after every sexual encounter to let me know if i am or am not pregnant<br />....that's all i got. again your, rants are better than mine, so have at it.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09069846921754075744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6740538823923443635.post-76509941637031022232009-08-20T12:49:43.826-07:002009-08-20T12:49:43.826-07:00I don't hate you sounding a little Republican ...I don't hate you sounding a little Republican once in a while:)Cecilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12625338786159338205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6740538823923443635.post-29753215301591477902009-08-20T12:20:03.818-07:002009-08-20T12:20:03.818-07:00Great post.

They know they're poor or they're not. Broke or not. Whatever. I damn well know if I can afford something or not.<br /><br />I have this theory that people live according to their gross income instead of net. As in "I make $65k a year, I can afford that" instead of "I bring home $50k a year and I have a mortgage, so no flat screen for me.".<br /><br />Spot on, mister.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6740538823923443635.post-24884134394099320982009-08-20T07:40:07.149-07:002009-08-20T07:40:07.149-07:00i completely agree with you! i have no problems wi...i completely agree with you! i have no problems with my debit but that's because like you, i check my account regularly and i'm RESPONSIBLE. i actually don't ever balance my checkbook the old fashioned way though. i figure its not necessary when i can just look online..floretahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18220834824793299258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6740538823923443635.post-62620769846959704902009-08-20T07:01:03.142-07:002009-08-20T07:01:03.142-07:00"Living within our means is not the American ..."Living within our means is not the American Dream, but it should be."<br /><br />I heartily agree. No one is going to watch your money except you yourself and expecting the banks to do it is silly and naive. I'm surprised the Times ran this article.
