She doesn’t actually charge any less than she did before, but people are starting to notice how much stronger she is.

So the ol’ ball ‘n’ chain HAS a ball ‘n’ chain.

That purse doesn’t look big or strong enough to carry that around in, she must wear it around her neck?

Haven´t had a credit card for 23 years and don´t miss them at all.

My daughter’s teacher’s hall passes are affixed to a 20-pound weight.

I use credit cards that give points or money back. Pay them off every month. Do not pay that bandito interest that banks charge.

I’ve heard of people that put their card in a ziplock bag, then freeze it in a block of ice. It takes a conscious effort and a “cool down” (or thawing) period of time before they use it. I say “if you don’t have self-control, don’t get a card”.

So that’s why her hubby calls her that.

Credit Cards have been known to turn into a ball and chain

My “ball and chain” having my credit card is where my problems start.
