Im not sure why them having/have not cheated on previous spouses would come up at a dinner party in the first place. The dinner partys I have attended with family have never turned into torrid storys of love affairs throughout the yrs. 

Try not to be so judgemental afterall unless you are doing the cheating or the one being cheated on you still dont know the whole story. Relax try and have a good time, forget about all the other stuff that has nothing to do with a nice dinner party.

Oh I dont claim to know it all thats for sure but dont expect me as a customer to bend over backwords for the merchant either. If you dont want the credit/debit option then dont have it as a merchant. Im sure the prices will be about the same with or without it. All I know is im not here to save small business im here to get by and do it without it making a huge dent in my familys wallet. Just like most ppl in the US. I want the best bang for my buck!

Im glad you do all these things.....I just dont plan on taking my money out of a bank that I have dealt with for many yrs just because they may charge me 50 cents for each POS transaction. I just used credit and dont get charged at all, im fine with that, im not here to save the world or the small business.

If they dont want fees simply dont have a choice of credit/debit cards. Cash only and checks, if the business is good and they have good prices I will still write a check out to them or get cash out. Otherwise its the business choice to have these things and its my right to use them. I dont plan on changing anyones mind thats why we have all these freedoms.

Some small business run themselves out, they overcharge for the smallest of things,they are never open when you need them. Then they **** and moan about the large companys coming in and taking them out of business. Stay open longer, dont overcharge so much for something I can go down the street and buy for say half the price. I dont agree that this happens in all situations but I do think a fair amount of them shutting down is their own fault!

Do you really think they are thinking of me when they are doubling the prices on something I buy on a regular basis? Dont even tell me its because of credit card transactions that things are so high!

Unless you get every person out there to switch back to writing checks for everything or doing a debit pin transaction everytime, these fees will never end. Merchants are going to up prices no matter what, they can blame high bank fees or whatever they like on prices being high the fact of the matter is you wont get ppl stopped on using credit/check cards,they are as much a part of society now as the check was 30 yrs ago. So unless they change the grand scheme of things at banks and stop charging these fees im not going to pay twice for my transaction, thank you very much..............

The breakfasts at my childrens schools are for anyone not just low income. They offer a piece of fruit, milk or oj, oatmeal or cereal, toast. Its pretty healthy because the cereal they buy are not fueled by sugar they are decent. I know some schools around here offer cinnamon buns and donuts with milk for breakfast with a peice of fruit.

adding this The small merchant where I buy things locally weekly, told me they pay a set amount per month for the creditcard transactions, they get a certain amount they can take before being charged more money and she told me typically she never has to pay more than the one monthly fee. Its set up this way through her bank for small business. Its not always costing the merchant a lot more when using credit transactions because otherwise some ppl would just go somewhere else and buy there things where visa and mastercard are accepted.

You do realize that at most banks if you use your debit instead of credit and do a POS transaction they charge you 50cents everytime you do this? At least they do at my bank and I know many others do this also. I certainly am not paying 50 cents each time I use my card to save merchant who in turn are taking my money. FORGET THAT!

I wanted to get him done months ago, hubby had a real issue with it and said he doesnt want to take his manhood away. Right now is the only time i kinda have him talked into it without a true argument! So right now is when im calling around and trying to find out the risks before doing so. I just wanted to be well informed, I will most likely get him an appt very soon with a vet and probably not the one we have been taking him to, so now I need to find a new vet that I can trust.

I am worried about him having a bad recovery, as you said though you had a rescue dog done at 3 yrs old with no problems.........He is like our third child lol He is also a rescue pet. He was dumped off along with his bros and sissys when he was a few weeks old. He is such a sweetiepie! I might just be overeacting to him being in pain I do realize that!

I think ppl that fully know they could never pay up all the credit cards they max out and didnt have financial hard times, should be held accountable for! They should get more than just bad credit for a while............Its not fair to someone like me who uses my credit card responsibly, thats why the interest rate is so stinking high! I have relatives who live off of them in the winter months, then play catchup in the summer. If they didnt have all of them in the first place they would learn how to control there money a little better and live less extravagant.

I keep hearing the sooner the better from family, just wondering if it will even make one bit a difference if I get it done now! I know its supposed to keep dogs from getting cancer, thats definatly a plus.

I see mainly elderly ppl writing checks, they just dont want to change, they have wrote checks out for probably 40 yrs and will continue to do so until death. Not all elderly are like this but I know my gram still uses checks for everything. She said if she doesnt and trys using the checkcard she just messes her whole check registry up because she forgets to put the transaction in the book. 

 I cant say it bothers me whats a few minutes in a checkout line during the whole course of the day. No biggie I have seen just as many problems with checkcards and creditcards taking up time also.

In Pennslyvania,

It is illegal to have over 16 women live in a house together because that constitutes a brothel. However up to 120 men can live together, without breaking the law.

If the old woman was so feeble she shouldnt of been walking down the sidewalk without her caregiver just the same as the little girl shouldnt of been riding her bike on the sidewalk. On a sidenote I dont think either one should be at fault it was a horrible accident and little kids hit ppl on bikes all the time. Most dont die in the process she was 87 yrs old come on now anything could of caused her death.

Did you ever stop and think that maybe the kids that were not dressed up financially could not afford a costume? I know you can make costumes cheaply but if you dont have an adult or gaurdian at home to help this might not be an easy task to a 10 yr old............Im just speculating im sure some ppl just didnt care enough to dress up, but sure thing there were kids also suffering this yr from lack of money in the family or lack of support. Thats why I dont judge nor do I care I stick the candy in the bag and Im happy they showed up and it made someones night!

Start taking note of these people.........private message them and ask for yourself. How exactly do you know they are trying to hide themselves just by placing a picture of family on a profile other than themselves? In all honesty who cares? Apparently you do but most people im sure don't!
