Lower Your Interest Rate In Less Than 5 Minutes!
So today I decided to try something. I had heard (particularly from Get Rich Slowly) that if you called your Credit Card you might be able to get your interest rate lowered. So I called.

Comments were not working!
I am sorry to anyone who has been posting comments on this site. I do not know what happened but somehow my user that is supposed to write to the database lost those permissions. I realized it one day when I was trying to figure out why I was getting all of these email messages…

How to overcome a bad/stressfull situation.
Some days things just don’t seem to go well. You finally get to working on something you have been putting off, and nothing seems to be working right. We have all had the experience of deleting the work we have just spend hours working on. Or maybe we didn’t delete it, but our computer shut…
