It's nice to have as a backup, but I try not to use credit to buy anything, ever. We do use them for travel because you sort of need to, to reserve rental cars and such. Cash back cards can be really nice,

It's pretty insane! And I imagine it's about to get worse because a lot of the suspension of late fees, collections, evictions and foreclosures just ended on June 30th. We keep cards for travel because

Congratulations Karen, very well done! It's tricky to navigate life here in the USA without credit... so our plan is not to actually borrow, but just to use the cards sparingly and pay them off, so it

Ten years? In a way, you're speaking "my language" here @acesontop, as I tend to have a very long term perspective on projects. When thinking about Hive in 10 years, I consider the fact that

Hi @cuddlekitten, cute as always!

A large part of the attraction of doing this is that when I do engage in exploratory writing or journaling, I tend to answer the questions I want to explore, more than the ones I need to explore. Having

If not many, then at least some. It's going to take a while, though...

Yup, water bills. Lot more than in NZ... currently we pay US $299 per quarter, and that's "cheaper" because we're not inside the city limits where there's also a sewage fee. The thing that mostly

Without even looking, I'd guess that's a South Texas zip code; somewhere in the Valley? I lived in Austin and Round Rock for some 25 years; moved to Washington state to get away from the heat! But it's

That's definitely one of the thing Hive has going on these days; communities with their own unique identities... and I know several of them are looking to follow LeoFinance with building their own front

Being the best versions of ourselves is definitely a worthy plan! And with the new changes to curation and such, I am also hoping the somewhat "lost" trend of comment voting will return!

It's funny to see that causing such confusion! In Denmark — and where my parents lived in Spain — locking shopping carts became a reality sometime in the late 1990s.

I'm very happy to welcome back the feasibility of comment voting! Way back in the when, I used to comment a lot more, and I would occasionally upvote other people's comments on other people's posts...

There is beauty in so many things. There was beauty in the mist that fell this morning, placing a myriad tiny diamonds on spiderwebs in our trees. There's beauty in a peacefully sleeping cat; in the setting

AND it's the first post-HF25 HPUD! And thankfully everything appears to be running smoothly — woot! Reblogged for extra visibility!

I don't have a whole lot of skin in that game, but I'm taking the CUB yields from a couple of farms and rolling them into the CUB single asset Kingdom. Hopefully, it will eventually pay off!

POB is like a "pure" version of something; and now it's trying to see what happens in the real world. Regardless of what you might try, theoretical models — in this case, "Proof of Brain"

I have to say that I am just really impressed to see a hardfork come through and so far there was not so much as even a blip in the system; what a monumental change from past clusterfucks experiences with

I think we should post what we believe in and put in efforts for. Sooner or later universe will comply, I hope. That, right there, pretty much summarizes how I treat my blogging, and have done since I

Thank you for the support @photophile, I appreciate it!
