This is an offer you cannot refuse!!!

Yes, the deals are just too great,
I cannot wait
until the door opens
and I can run in
with my plastic card
to buy all those things
that will no doubt hit
the thrift store donation pit
by March or April.
No. I am not a bah humbug type,
but it does grate my nerves this time of year
to be offered so much for so little...
No interest until 2005!
No payments until January!
Just think,
I can have it all and not pay ANYTHING
(today anyway.)
But when the bills roll in
January 2,
where will I hide????
Can I take all that crap back
as easily as I brought it home?

OK, Kacy,
go stand in the corner
with the scissors
and cut up all those
pretty shiny cards
while there is still time.

thanks Dixie
I have too many things I want/need, and they are making it far too easy to 'buy now pay later'

Yes scissors! The only cure for charge cards is scissors LOL. I look at it this way (and I always use cash except for an emergency Kacy), if I don't have the money for it I don't buy it period! The trick is to learn want from need, and set boundaries, and when you figure that out - mail it to me LOL. Cut it up trust me, you will be crying in your "coffee" when the bills all roll in.
