It was after Christmas.
He was bragging how many thousands of dollars he put on his card for Christmas at work.
I am an A hole and I replied so you are bragging your are an idiot.
You dont make 10 dollars and hour and put 7 grand on a card with 12 to 20% interest.
There are literally millions of these people in the US and they are making banks and lenders rich.
Their only hope is to have a comet hit the earth and wipe out everything.

Ahh, yes those kinds of contracts. Well, you still have to make those payments on time when they start. I do agree, it's easy to stick it to them if you just put the money in the bank and pay it all at once when the first payment is due.

Some people are idiots when it comes to debt.

It looks like all the bad weather is happening 3 counties over and is moving away from us. We didn't get any rain, so I am finally going to water the plants for the first time this year. I'm glad we missed it because it's bad where it is storming.

We have had massive amounts of rain. It started a little before midnight and has poured most all night and today. Where we live we are fine, but there have been numerous water rescues and the creeks and rivers won't crest until Sunday afternoon. Weather Channel just showed the rainfall today for a town 12 miles south of us and it was 7.8". A week ago we had 5-6" so the ground was saturated, so this new rain had no where to go but up. Apparently we are looking at a couple more inches of rain tonight.

The front has come through and I no longer need the A/C because the temp is dropping like a rock. Tornadoes on the ground ESE of the Metroplex between Canton and Eustace.

I am glad we missed the storms because they are training for 3 hours now.

We are under a severe thunder storm watch.
I better batten down the hatches and roll my truck windows up.
It looks like it is all going north of us but I look forward to the front coming through.

Worth, I just checked both thermometers. It's 57 degrees here right now with a strong north wind. No wonder it felt cold while I was watering.

We have been on the cold side of the front all day and never got out of the 50's.

The cold air hit as I was pulling my buckboard bacon out of the smoker.
