So I Done Applied For A Credit Card

Literally just for the hell of it that is. I don't bank with BMO so I am sure to not get the thing. They tend to only like people who bank with them I'm told.

The thing is, I don't actually want the thing. I just want to see what they say. I noticed in the ads that I KEEP getting from Airmiles say they will respond in 60 seconds after you apply.

It's bullshit in a way and true in another. They try to make it seem that the process is instant and in a minute you will know. Well the reply is as you see in the screen cap. That being that they will let you know in 10 to 15 banking days.

Ha. I was absolutely certain I would not know right away that is for sure. The other thing is, I have a good credit rating and have a "payment card" from my bank. I also met the criteria to get an actual credit card - did not want to go there though. Not my kind of thing. If I don't have the money in the bank I'm not spending on something.

They try at BMO to sugar the pot by telling you there is no annual fees. The ticket is though, you get instant interest applied on the money you spend. That is to say, even if you pay it off in the 30 days you still pay interest. You just pay a LOT more interest if you go over the 30 days.

This being said I am sure the next computer I buy will be on credit - sigh. But that is the way it will have to be as I don't have the ability to save it seems. That and they don't allow you to have much savings when you are on disability in Saskatchewan - Sigh...

When I do have to go for a new system it will be taken out of the bank right away at the start of the month. That is if I even get another one. After all I do seem to be able to do anything I want on my smart phone now. I can edit video and do custom thumbnails and so on. So I might just skip it.

Any how - I will let you know what happens. Oh and if I get the dang thing, it's $60 worth of airmiles money in my account for doing it. The it goes in a desk drawer forever...

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.

10 Questions Answered

1. How many times have you seen the time as exactly 8:18 am/pm in your life? Almost never. If I did I did not take note of it. 11:11 I always remember as well as 3:33. The middle of the night where all the horror movies have things happen is said to be 3:15am - you have no idea how many times I’ve woken up at 3:15am and looked at my phone. 2. What have you lived long enough to see? The list is rather long, but I’ll try to keep it short. Computers went from filling a room bigger than my apartment, to fitting in our pockets. When I worked in data entry, the entire building was using a 1GB drive that was the size of a stove. Now my 512GB micro SD card is smaller than a fingernail. Medical treatments like Stem Cells are not giving life back to people who would have died when I was younger. Medication I’m on did not exist 15 years ago, and it’s keeping me alive. All manner of medical wonders. Personal space travel. This was fiction when I was young, and now it’s happening. Then there is uns
