No, it’s not the thought that counts

Posted by chica with issues under general issues

I have issues with people that put zero effort into gift giving. Maybe you know someone like this too.
I am talking about people that on the way to see the person they are giving the gift to, they stop some place and grab a gift card.
I have no problem with gifts cards as gifts. So, […]

Stores and their return policies: Do they have any effect on where you shop?

Posted by chica with issues under general issues

I do not do a whole lot of shopping. I have been in full debt reduction mode for so long now that just the mere thought of parting with my money for things that I do not need sends a shiver down my spine.  However, I used to shop quite a lot. It was not […]

Watch out for water treatment plants near your new home

Posted by chica with issues under general issues

I have lived in my current apartment since February. It is about 20 miles from the place that I was previously living. Basically, it is just on the other side of the city. When I moved here I was not too familiar with this particular area.
I chose this apartment complex for a few reasons. One, […]

I just want what I paid for!

Posted by chica with issues under general issues

Do you have regular prescription medication that you have to get each month? If so, do you ever get down to the end of that bottle and realize you were cheated out of a pill or two? This seems to happen to me every single freaking month.
I have some medication where two pills are taken […]

Posted by chica with issues under general issues

This morning as I was sitting at a red light at a very large intersection I started looking around at all of the cars around me. Presumably most of these people were heading off to a job. There were a lot of cars at this intersection. I would guess maybe twenty or so. Out of […]

God help me - I was just unknowingly rocking out to a Miley Cyrus song

Posted by chica with issues under general issues

This may be my biggest issue to date.
I am working on some of my other sites right now. I have AOL radio up and am listening to the “Top Pop” station. It’s open in another tab so I can’t see what is playing unless I click over to that tab.
I was rocking out to a […]

Thoughts on Napster and their free trial

Posted by chica with issues under general issues

A while back I got something in my email about the free 7 day trial of Napster To Go.
The email said you could try out Napster To Go for 7 days at no cost. During this trial you could download tunes and transfer them to your mp3 player. And if you did not decide to […]

Smokers - argh!

Posted by chica with issues under general issues

I live in an apartment and the people across from me and the people beside me are smokers. I know this because it seems like every time I open my door there is someone smoking outside of it. Smokers (in my experience) have got to be the rudest and most inconsiderate people on the planet.

People who insult others behind a shield of anonymity

Posted by chica with issues under general issues

One of the things that I hate about the internet are the people that go onto other people’s blogs or even to message boards and insult people as “anonymous.”
It seems that you see it most often on blogs though. JW at Need to Be Debt Free seems to bring a lot of these type of […]

People and parking lots - some observations

Posted by chica with issues under general issues

Do you ever have those days when you go out to run errands and just get really annoyed with people? Well, this is day two of that day for me.
I went to Target this morning. I parked on the other side of the earth. You see, whenever I go any place like Target I park […]
