I live comfortably and can be rest assured I will not fall into crippling debt if I have to go to the hospital, and while I may not have the financial means to live my dreams, the reality is I can still be happy without material wealth as I am surrounded by natures beauty even in the city.

Namaste, friends :)

18 eggs
1lb lentils
6 cups beef stock
Sriracha to taste

Combine ingredients in slow cooker and simmer for 8 hours or until grey and delicious. Freezes well.

I stole this from YLLS but its good and a cheap way to get the 500 grams of protein per day that I need to keep up my thrice-monthly chest+biceps workout.

I play wow to the exclusion of everything else. I bought a house. I rented out all the rooms except the smallest. I make exactly enough off the rent to:
-pay the mortgage
-pay the bills
-pay my wow subscription
-pay for a bag of instant mashed potato and a box of instant gravy once per week.
At the start of the week, I make up the mashed potato and gravy, put it in the fridge and then throughout the week when I get hungry i heat up some of my mashed potato.

Things just went from bad to worse for me.

I had 7 Serves that I was funding with my Barclaycard Travelocity Amex (each AU has their own Amex # so they each could fund their own Serve). All 7 were shutdown of course.

Woke up this morning to find that my Travelocity account has been shut down now, along with my Aviator. They also closed my wife's brand new Hawaiian MC and her Aviator as well which are under a totally separate account.

The timing sure seems like Amex reached out to Barclay and told them what was going on...

Well crap, and double crap. I was having fun doing MS at the start of the year and was pounding away at both my 1VIP Serve cards and maxed one of them out yesterday with the max $5000 with multiple hits at Rite-A and Family $. I got an email today from Serve saying the account has been flagged for "unusual usage pattern.... Effective immediately you will no longer be able to add money to your account. You will continue to have access to the funds and can withdraw them... Once your balance reaches $0, please close your account."

I don't suppose anyone else has experienced this? Since it's tied to my SSN, does that mean I can't switch to BB or some other variant Serve account?

Bluebird's demise is painful for me--really painful. We have been working it for about 3 years, but the last year was a lot more fun and more spend than previous years.

We built a lot of miles and will use them on Southwest and Hyatt exclusively. We booked our Amtrak trip for early May months ago, before the ability to use UR points for Amtrak went away.

Fortunately, we have a business with a lot of expenses and will get 2X on our timeshare fees. I wish I could figure out a way to pay those fees with my 5X Staples gift cards with Chase Ink. I don't think the companies will be thrilled getting multiple debit cards for a $800 maintenance fee. Maybe I can work it out somehow, but doubtful. I guess money orders? I can do that in a small amount. Our Walmart always looks at us with suspicious side-glances when we go to the money center express (Kate). I was getting tired of it, frankly.

If I won the lotto I'd buy my parents and myself a new house then go on a world tour, when I returned I'd invest the leftovers in a video game company.

if i won the lotto at its current value i would have enough money so that nobody in my family line will ever be able to get rid of it no matter how hard they gently caress up and the money will keep snowballing due to our broken estate tax system and eventually it will wind up with my little poo poo of a great grandson who never spent a single second outside the bubble of constant on-hand waiting servants and mansions who will be so detached from the rest of the world and so assured of his own supremacy over it that he will invest all his time, money and power in manipulating the political system to gain even more money and power while ensuring the rest of the country remains at the five figgy fucktard level. somewhere, far below his future giant space elevator mansion in geosynchronous orbit, a disgruntled space computer repairman jacks in to the cybernet to semi-ironically post about how dumb it is to play the lotto.
