It’s becoming more common. People using their cell phone outside of the country and getting hit with a cell phone bill that’s in the thousands. The problem is so bad that recently an iPhone user decided to sue AT&T over a $2,000 bill. It happened to this person too. A $6,000 bill and he didn’t [...]
My last trip to a restaurant was very interesting. I went to the Hamburger Inn here in Sioux Falls. It’s known for its eggburger. An employee I had never seen before was working the counter. He wrapped up an order with another customer by scooping up the dollar bills left on the counter. He used [...]
I use Commission Junction for some of the ads on my web sites. I apply to many different advertisers. I’d say about 50% of them reject my application. Why!?!

There are a few people that I work with that are constantly worried about what other people are doing.

Only time will tell if these warnings are true. In the meantime, the institute recommends the use of wireless headsets to [...]
Yes, we are all sick of hearing the Brett Favre story. We’ve been hearing about him retiring for about 4 years now and yet it continues. Some people point the finger at Farve and just want him to go away so we don’t have to hear about it anymore. But it’s not Farve’s fault that [...]
It’s really a shame that recycling is such a challenge for most people. It’s much easier to just throw something away in the trash than it is to care for the environment. There are many challenges where I live for example, plastic bottles must have the o-rings removed. Have you ever tried getting an o-ring [...]
For years I have had a Quicken credit card. The rate was decent at 10%. I then missed 1 payment and the APR skyrocketed to 28%. OK, so I call QuickenCard, which is CitiBank. I ask them to please lower my APR. They say OK, and that it will be done in 1 month. Enter [...]
