Getting Out of Credit Card Debts

Getting out of a credit card debt should be taken seriously because clearing a debt will give you good credit ratings and it reduces worry tremendously. When you have bad credit, applying for other loans such as home or car loans will be very difficult. Your stress level will also increase when creditors and banks call and send numerous letters asking for your repayment. Your daily life may also become more inconvenient as many purchases and bill payments can be done via the Internet with a credit card.

The term debt consolidation may sound complicated but it really is just taking up one bigger loan to pay the other smaller loans. A debt consolidation scheme is a popular scheme for getting out of credit card debt.

When choosing a loan, the debt consolidation interest rate is your biggest concern. When doing a comparison, always go for the lowest rate and one which is significantly lower than your credit card interest rate. Read more…

Grrrrrr – Scrabble ignoramuses, keep your traps shut

I need a rant. Last night when Mrs MSE and I were on one of our Scrabble dates (2for1 restaurant voucher and Travel Scrabble – I know how to show a girl a good time), an American chap at the next table leant over and said: “You shouldn’t be allowed to use those silly words; you should only use normal words.”

People seem to have an inherent need to interfere in Scrabble and this is quite a common comment. Luckily, he said it with a twinkle in his eye, or I’d have told him to bog off.

It’s the frustrating lack of logic in this sentiment that gets my goat. Please tell me what a ‘normal word’ actually is – a doctor may use zygote in everyday speech, a healer chi and a classicist xi.
