“Pay my bills on time”, you ask? “Avoid late fees?!” What’s all this crazy talk about? Does this sound nice to you? Well then, let’s get started!
Go ahead and grab your bills for a second! If at all possible, start thinking about automatic bill payments while you’re gathering them. That’s right, today most utilities companies and other “makers” of bills (yea, I know— sounds like ol’ GWB a little) will let you set up your bills to be either charged on a credit card or directly deducted from your checking account. Who knew? Also, many banks now offer free bill-paying programs. Is that right (note: it is)? So what’s your excuse going to be now for forgetting to pay on time, which always leads to unnecessary late fees? “I’m already late, so who cares?” you answer (wow, a curve-ball)? Well, why not call the company and “politely” request a late fee waiver (most of the times, they’ll give it to you). Continued

Ok everyone, Obama’s in — the time for change is now!
These idiots in Congress over the last eight years have gotten us into a huge mess! Not to mention that our puppet-president Bush kept vetoing the bills that would have help out the common American, and put his John Hancock (this just in: Hancock is pissed at me for using his name and Bush’s in the same sentence. Sorry, John) on all the ones that only helped the banks. The results of this idiot and his cronies: our economy is in the crapper right now, and we need to at least break the ice towards getting us back on track financially! It is my sincere hopes and dreams that the following will open your eyes to doing just that — please, read on …
U.S. history has proven to us time and time again that printing debt and interest-free currency helps allow our economy to prosper (as long as the honest, can’t-be-bought-off members of Congress control the amount of money that was created). This can then allow more printed dollars into the economy, which will add production, and in the end there will be no inflation. Sweet, huh? Even sweeter: with today’s sophisticated computers we, as a nation, can easily monitor the printing of all money and inflation. Continued

Ok, she did it – she forced you to sell your stuff (she called it junk). Again!
You’ve played this game before, but somehow only wound up making like $15 for the thousands you spent on the stuff in the first place. This time however, you did it right: you got your ad in the paper early (two weeks early to be exact) and you posted it all over Craigslist. People have been calling you all week about it, because you were smart enough to put your phone number in the ad, which stated, “Call if you have any questions.” Timing and placement of your ads are certainly critical, and you have this all covered. Good for you!
On the date of this big event, you have a lot of good things to sell (despite what she says) and only a little time to do it in. It’s the night before the big event and you’re starting to get nervous now, so let me help you out — I’ve done this lots and lots of times already, and I consider myself somewhat of an expert. If you truly want to make back some of the money that the retailers “stole” from you, and you also want to keep your shoppers honest, please read on …
Before the early-birders get there (at like 6:00 am [these people are sick]) make sure you did the following: Continued
