Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

[Raeja]

I do want to thank you all for your suggestions and comments about credit. I had to pay $200 for a "secured" credit card that would not hit my score first. I was told my one of the loan officers to not spend more than 25% of the card and be sure to pay it off as soon as the bill comes. That card should be coming sometime this week I think. I could have used that money to pay bills but currently I am only 1 month behind on all but one bill (water). After I married my now ex-husband, I have been fighting to get my credit rating back up and so close.. I have to call the bank that my landlord suggested trying. I left a message on Friday and will call this afternoon. I am waiting on a call from Mama Pope to see if she still wants me to take her to Walmart or do it another day.

Again Good Luck with the finance issues. I have 2 of my 3 children that could use a budget class like that Raeja. Every time I try to give them good advise, they tell me they don't need a lecture....pretty simple...live below your means and save the extra....always ways to spend less.....is it a need or a want.
Looks like 4" of the white stuff. I'll bet you have a foot Jim!

Stay Safe...… bigz

Mr Petterson was a wise man.
Brent, you are half right. only a half a foot.
Not going to plow today, Nobody going anywhere , and besides it is too cold and windy
Kalib made it home from work and into the driveway at 8AM.

I made potato pancakes for breakfast. Now I am thinking about trying out the electric pressure cooker and making bbq venison ribs.. I usually make them in the oven in a heavy cast iron pot..
we have had this pressure cooker for a couple of years and I have not tried it out yet..

I thought for sure you were blessed with more than 6"....I'm just going to let er melt....not going anywhere either.
That boat and motor rule makes no sense at all.....when is the silliness going to end?
Good reason to use the pressure cooker....should make ribs in no time at all.

Stay Safe...bigz

I used my Dads tin-snips to cut wire for a project I was doing and boy, did I get heck for that one. I guess I notched the blades pretty good. Not allowed to ever touch his tools again without asking - but I had asked him for something to cut the wire with about 3 times before I dug out what tool I thought would work. Really made an imprint on a
10-year old.
DH bought me a linemans pliers right after I told him that story, lol!. And proceeded to show me where it has a notch to cut wire.

What boat and motor rule? I must have missed something again.

 

[jvls1942]

the governor of Mich made it a rule that you could go fishing in a boat, but no motor allowed.
among a few other non sense ideas.
Annie cut my hairs today. she bought a clipper set last year. never used it.

the news said that sales of hair cutting kits has jumped up by 150%
Now they are talking about meat shortage.
Heeeere we go again !!
we have quite a bit of meat in the freezer.
Annie spotted a rabbit skipping down the driveway.
and we have a lot of red squirrels coming out of hibernation..
If push comes to shove, I will go to Wausau and hunt turkeys and deer..

Use the cards to pay your bills like utilities, gas, etc. only. Then pay off when due.
My cousin does this. All bills paid with a card then the card is paid off.

Once again, thank you. I am on my way to starting my down payment with the stimulus check that is currently pending in my bank account.

I love the Abe Lincoln quote, babylady4!

 

[jvls1942]
