That isn't necessarily a bad thing. I had to cut up one of mine recently.

Apply for one, the worst they can do is turn you down. When I was in my teens, I had my mother get a card in my name to use. She would buy one thing each month on the card (something small like a video or book) and then pay it off when the bill came in. Needless to say, I had exemplary credit by the time I turned 18.

I guess that's better than a store cutting it up.

I'm a speed shopper too, actually. I can breeze through a store in record time. You should see me scouring the sales racks at places like TJ Maxx & Marshall's. I like HomeGoods too.

I like expensive, "label" names, but I loathe paying full retail for anything. I wait for my favorite labels to go on sale at my local department sales or wait for when they're having a special promotion or something where you get a certain percentage off of whatever you want. Sometimes they make you use your store department charge card but I pay mine off every month so I avoid the interest charges. I also have had great luck at finding designer labels for less at places like TJ Maxx. I scored a Dooney & Bourke purse for $80 and a pair of Coach shoes for $39 in recent outings. But you really have to get into the racks and hunt to find the good stuff!

And on edit--I only shop with people who have my shopping speed/traits. Usually though, I go it alone.

Sounds like full force Virgo methods at their best! those are good deals. Yeah, about shopping with people. but i'm the same at most stuff, ie, fast! I have this one friend, she has no concept of time, people waiting, or anything resembling such. And my other friend, doesn't even like to shop! It's fun going with her, just to pick out stuff that would look good on her, though! hehehe. I don't care about name brands (why? seems strange, and shallow - not that your shallow, i just have a philosophical aversion to people who care about that, and would judge others because of it. it stems from the only thing people could make fun of me when growing up was being poor, and not having the "right" clothes. anyways. )
and lately i always buy cheap clothes. But the important thing to me is that people always admire my clothes anyway I'm like "thanks! it was 10 bucks!" hehehe. But a weird thing i read about Cancers is that they would be good fashion buyers, because their "extra sense" makes them able to discern the public's taste And i'm only saying that cause i know you enjoy astrology I would assume that you have plain, but high quality, well cut taste. right?

You could get a debit card, too. If you have a checking account you can apply for one as long as your checking account is in good standing.

You can use it as an ATM card or to make purchases in a store or online. It will have either a Mastercard or a Visa logo on it.

Due to an unfortunate incident, just lost my bank card. *shrugs sheepishly*

A lot to be thankful for on this holiday.

Don't they pump dairy cows full of hormones?? I mean it would explain why girls are starting their periods at a much younger age. It was normal around 13 or so. Now days girls are starting around 9 or 10. It also would explain why they are more blessed with larger chests.


Back on topic. No way, I dont think I could handle it. Like someone else stated before, I'd have to have some help in the zanax department. On the news last night they said Target was offering a free wake up call. So, I thought this could be fun. I was gonna sign some friends up that I new was gonna be sleeping and not shopping a 4 a.m. wake up call from the lady with a cat. You'd just have to check it out just to hear how she talks. Anyway, after you type in the phone number and submit, it says you have to call within so many hours from that phone number. Damn!!

I plan to spend 37¢ for everyone on my list and cash in on this fat boy holiday. Here’s the plan. Get yourself some cheap money cards at the dollar store. Now you have to be stern with these bozo’s or they’ll sh*t all over you and you’ll end up with squat.

You write inside the card “Here’s $100 you better buy me something for at least $50 you cheap bastard.” The catch is you don’t put any money inside for these whining sacks. Cut a slit in the end of the envelope and mail it to the undeserving slugs. When they get the card it looks like some ruthless thief at the post office stole the cash. In return you get something worth about $50 from every sucker on your list.

If they buy you some cheap hunk of junk you’re not out much and you can use it against them next year.

They totally do. My parents have a farm and they had cows. THey refused at first and still do a little - but it seriously screws with the cow. Free range beef is the best!!!!

Hey Amber, I've lost my wireless twice trying to type replies to you, but yes, it's my Virgo side that does the serious planning when I shop. It may be the Virgo side that likes the labels too but that could be my more flashy Sagg moon coming out there! I think I like the labels because they tend to be better made and just hold up better-but not always. And remember, I try to get those at cut-rate prices too! I will go cheap for faddish style items-I just brought a poncho at Ross for like $10. Can't beat that!

LMFAO!!! Capricorn cheapness. But, i have to say, i'd love to come to your thanksgiving, and would enjoy one of your "homegrown" presents!
