The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man. George Bernard Shaw Irish dramatist & socialist (1856 - 1950)

Here's a Thought
The other day I actually took the time to read my many wonderful offers from various credit card junk mails. I noticed they all sent dummy credit cards, one with Mickey Mouse, my wife felt they were bogus since they did not offer a Daisy duck. That being said, I also noticed a return, postage paid return envelope. After making sure there were no names associated with these, mine being the operative name, on these fancy credit cards I came up with a plan. I placed the Disney card into the CTI pre paid envelope, the NASCAR one in the Disney Envelope and so on and put them in the mail. I wonder if we all did that could we actually become annoying to the credit card companies?
I teach a "Financial Peace" course at our church. During the last series of classes, I had the people check all the credit card mailings they got and let me know the amount of credit they were offered. Over the thirteen weeks the 14 singles/couples received over $4,000,000 worth of credit offers! We've all started "opting out" of future mailings. TM
