Welcome to the 4th intallment of "WINE PARAPHERNALIA THAT MAKES US UNCOMFORTABLE AND/OR SCARED" (or W.P.T.M.U.U.A.O.S. for short)

Wow, seriously?  Is this so you can drink while using your chainsaw? What on earth do you need both hands free for when drinking?  The Electric Slide is going to get REALLY REALLY messy at cousin Sharon's wedding.  This is only acceptable if off screen he's holding two other glasses of wine in his hands.

   I'm guessing this is some middle-management multitasker's bid to really press the flesh (grchk...i just threw up in my mouth) at those conferences that I'm so, so, so, so happy I don't have to go to anymore. 

I doth protest too much....yes, I want one.

Can't Take Credit For That

For the last six months, we've heard some pretty horrible stories about credit card rate hikes, abrupt cancellations, and conversations bordering on abuse from credit card phone operators.  Just recently a friend of ours had their rate hiked to 29.99% after spending and fully paying off $1500 in two months on travel.  When they called the bank (rhymes with "shittybank") they said, and I quote, "we no longer want you as a customer".  Be a lot more helpful if they would tell us that up front rather than sending tiny little pamphlets with even tinier print saying "dear customer, we'd like to kill your pet dog or kick your grandmother down the stairs but since that's trespassing, we're just going to double your interest rate and if you don't opt out via carrier pidgeon TOMORROW there's nothing you can do about it."

So we had this idea...we have many thousands of you here on our email list and we want to know what's going on with your credit cards during this very difficult year.  Go to our blog HERE and comment, and we'll compile all the stories and send them on to our Congressman.  You can use your name or post anonymously...entirely up to you.
