They are sneaky little suckers...

In Reply to: NO more credit cards - I mean it this time.
I am trying to rebuild my credit starting with just a small credit card, and accepted what seemed to be a nice, lower-interest credit card with no yearly fee. The limit is only $500, which is what I wanted just to buy a few things a month and pay it off in full. After the first year of paying on time every month (the same day I received the bills), sometimes making two payments a month, not even coming close to the limit, I get a notice in the mail saying they have reveiwed my history with them and that they will now be charging a $79 a year fee. For some dumb reason I kept the card *because ya never know,* and my dog was having health problems that required trips to the vet every 3 days for bandage changes. I paid the fee and kept the card.
It is now 6 months later, still pay on time to a $0 balance every month, and now they are raising the interest rate to a variable that goes up to 29%, again after reviewing my history with them. What? I thought I was doing an excellent job at keeping this one little CC account paid in full and never late, and this is how they reward me? I'm going to award them by closing the account and giving them one less sucker to take money from.

its suckers like you
who make these places put out tip jars on the counter when you go and pick up your food. I was a waitress for 13 years, so I know what it is like to live on tips, but why would you tip someone who is already being paid to do their job and you had to pick it up, unbelievable. Andy Rooney did a segment on these so called tip jars, and basically said they were made for suckas.
Yes the sneaky part! You start to think something really is wrong with you (sm)
And you can't put your finger on exactly what it is they do. Except in hindsight.
Americans are such suckers for SCARE tactics
imposed on us daily by the corporate media.
That's not to say don't be concerned and vigilant - just not to cave everytime they decide to scare us with propaganda.
WHAT is the school supposed to DO about "it" anyway?
In MHO, call your lawyer NOW... he is teaching your children to be afraid, overreact, and believe every scare tactic that comes down the pike.
I worded it wrong - my kids are not sneaky (sm)
With every family member and friend I know who does spank their child, I have witnessed repeatedly that as soon as the child is out of their sight they are bad rebellious children! All of them! It teaches them to lie and be sneaky and to be rebellious. They may grow up to be successful, but as children they are not pleasant to be around without their parents. You remember the old cliche about "preacher's kids" being the worst of them all??
