"Below 800"... oh please...

LOL - I love how 800 is the "gold standard".

I'm annoyed, because I can't figure out how to get over the 800 hump either. And the thing that REALLY pisses me off is that my husband is over the 800 hump, while I linger at 795 and 798. We are doing the SAME thing credit-wise! We have almost all the exact same debts, we make the same salaries. We both make more

I called up a fee-based card to "cancel" it. I told the woman I didn't want to really get rid of it, as I knew closing an account could lower my score, but that I didn't want to keep paying an annual fee. She converted my account to the "no annual fee" version of that card, which had crappy rewards. In the end, I have

My experience doesn't bear this out. I carry zero balance on my credit cards, paying them off in full every month. My credit score at last check was around 798. My husband does the same, his is over 800. The last time either of us paid interest on a credit balance was sometime during the Bush administration. And then

I'm actually a strong "maybe" depending on the coworkers, the environment and my cash flow.

Not pint-sized. Not a "sports" drink. "Miniscule energy drink."

"Democratic" is the proper adjective to use here. The shortened form of "Democrat" is a popular smear from right-leaning pundits and politicians.

Hahaha I knew someone would say that!

My husband's old cell phone is now our television remote. He has never removed his email from it. The man gets the dullest email in the world...

Jezebel logic. Right up there with fawning all over Hillary's latest ensemble, and then the next day spewing violent rage because someone dared to ask "who" she was wearing. They aren't the brightest, Jez writers. Anything for a dramatic statement or headline.

41 and a PB&J is still a weekly thing for me. Breakfast is always two slices of peanut butter toast.

Forget peanut butter. Buy raw, unsalted almonds in bulk at Costco. Roast them for 10 minutes at 350, just until they begin to get a little fragrant. Then do the food processor thing. Add a little salt and a little drizzle of olive oil toward the end of the butter making.

You'll catch a lot of heat for tracking down these little brats and ratting them out, but I applaud you for doing that. Racist kids need to learn early that there WILL be dire consequences for their actions. We are no longer a country that tolerates racists, and I sincerely hope that most if not all of these children

The extreme anger and hate is the dying gasp of the bigoted white man as they march their way to irrelevance and obscurity. They are quite literally dying out.

Well, if it comes to remembering the order of directions they'd get me while high on marijuana. Every time I've tried the stuff, I can't control the rapid fire random thoughts that come into my head, nor can I remember what the previous thought was.

Yeah, it's ridiculous. Democrats don't even bother running here anymore. So sad.

My machine worked fine, it's the same machine they've been using in this district for 8 years. I live in South Carolina, however, so there probably isn't much incentive to tamper with the machine in such a non-swing state.

Election night, we were in an extended stay hotel because the wood floors in our house were being refinished. I sat there and watched, while chatting with some friends. My husband, who didn't feel well, went to sleep early so I kept the volume on low.
