Kind of over hosting my own domain. Please let me know if the commenting system over there sucks ass. I’m assuming that all of ya’ll use a RSS reader so hopefully you’ll just have two clicks to do…

So it’s only $400 for 4WD. Big question is if the GPS is worth it.

David Thorne didn’t have the $233.95 to pay an overdue account. So what did he do? What any other budding young genius would do, he submitted a picture of a spider he drew instead. Unfortunately, Jane Gilles, who is clearly a mega-bitch to the nth degree, wouldn’t accept it. So what happened next?

If you’ve got a few minutes, you’ve GOT to read it!

It’s not even worthy of wallet space anymore. :(

That sucks. I know that they’re about to go bankrupt, but I seriously move about $2,000 a month through them just on daily shit that I pay off at the end of the month. Even though I don’t always carry a balance, they make a nice chunk of change in merchant fees.

As much as I love them (and Jesus do I love them), I’m not going to be using a 12.99% APR card when I have so many other 9.99% ones (for the times I do carry a balance).

:(

Update: After an email exchange with AMEX, they ended up not raising my rate, .. the actually lowered it quite a bit, so as usual, AMEX remains as my favorite card to use. :)
