So, after a lot of looking for an ottoman, we decided on a coffee table of all things. Not what we were expecting!
Round, so it has no corners for babies to bang their heads… on coaster wheels so we can pull it up to put our feet up. And, a nice padded top so that we can really use it as an ottoman. Great ‘two birds with one stone’ solution for those that live in a shoebox apartment, such as what we face living in Manhattan.

Mine certainly was - just awful. I really, really needed some debt relief. Something, anything - some sort of advice or guidance on how to start the process of digging my way out of debt. Thankfully, a friend recommended Franklin Debt Relief. My payments were all over the place until I called and we started to discuss debt settlement - somehow, now we’re planning a way to get all of my creditors to agree to one (lower!) lump payment.
My interest rates were brutal - not only did Franklin (and their great website) help me to understand debt relief and how to get out of my credit card debt, I called and someone got back to me within 48 hours. I didn’t have any experience with the idea of debt consolidation, but they were able to explain it quickly and easily.
Franklin was a big help to me, and though we’re still in the exploratory stages - I really think we’ll be able to make some progress with my debt. Very easy just to visit their website and learn if your debt is anything as bad as mine!
OK, first, props to Romesh Ratnesar on his article on Sarah Palin: After watching her two main interviews (Couric and Gibson), Mr. Ratnesar encapsulated my inter-turmoil in watching these… it was like watching a high school studen BS on a book report they hadn’t read, yet a whole lot worse.
1. If your aim is to make people feel incredibly uncomfortable, Sarah Palin’s interviews out-do Curb Your Enthusiasm by a long shot. Take some notes Larry David: you NEVER made me feel remotely as uncomfortable as I felt watching either of the two aforementioned interviews.
2. Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader? : Can you imagine how you would feel watching her on that show? See point number one above.
I generally find it funny to point out absurdities and a person’s general foibles: however in this case, I am down right scared. Here’s a person who seriously has not the intellectual capability, the education, nor the experience to even come close to sitting in the presidency. Even Bush Jr., as absolutely awful as I believe his presidency will be regarded in historical contexts, had the second and third points to his credit.
Eek. Couric held her professional composure, but I could see behind the veil her thinking that this bitch really actually knows absolutely nothing- how scary is this?
A bad credit ding is not a death sentence. At least, it doesn’t have to be. There are many ways and techniques to engage in credit repair and make an eventual full recovery to credit health. One of the best bets is to engage in a company that provides reputable credit repair services. But how do you best choose such a firm?
Word of mouth is a good way to go. Find a friend or trusted advisor who is experienced in these matters. While the process is not entirely complex, it is important that it is managed correctly in order to repair bad credit and be able to go about attaining financing for important things such as homes, cars, and education.
Why use a professional service? There’s a lot of complexities, loop holes, and tricks of the trade that warrant the hiring of an expert who is deeply familiar with the scenarios that play out. In the end, getting a trusted credit repair firm to assist you is a worthwhile investment, even when you are totally strapped for cash.
