Russell Stover, you have left me no choice but to ‘unfriend’ you! Why? Because no friend of mine would deceive me in such a way as you have! My heart is broken and my palate left longing for more. Your visually deceptive packaging tactic has left me in a state of shock and disbelief! [...]
In the General Election, did your vote count? Many people don’t bother to vote because they don’t think their vote counts. There was a time I didn’t think my vote counted either, but I made an effort to understand the whole process a little better, and understand now why my vote is important. The process is really quite simple if they leave out the bureaucratic language and get right to the basics. Make your vote count in 2012.

Have you checked your credit report lately? The law says you get one report from each of the three reporting agencies – FREE – once a year. So request ONE report every 4 months and you are covered year round. January = Experian, May = TransUnion, and September = Equifax. Get on top of your [...]
Did you remember to ask about the fees or read the small print? THIS JUST IN FROM MY BROTHER: On a recent trip out of the country, he put $500 on a Visa Pre-Paid Credit Card. After the card was activated he purchased a couple sodas. He used the card while out of the country [...]
A few years ago I had a number of accounts at a local Financial Institution (not to be named because I don’t really think the name is specific to the situation.) When I relocated to another state I opened new accounts at the local bank and signed up for online banking with Quicken (for a [...]
I probably wouldn’t have worried my head off about this one, however, now that it’s spreading around the internet, if thieves didn’t know it before they’ll be sure to know it now!
