my team sucks... 12 points the ENTIRE week and I lost my title. :(

and to top it off, my back is so bad I have been crawling around my apartment nearly in tears and couldn't get my shirt off or my ass on the toilet to take a dump...

At least the guy ahead of me in my baseball division had Delgado last night and I had Zambrano and my stud WR Boston is benched
because he isn't acting like part of the team...

rant done. thanks for listening.
I need some Doans. Badly.

Oof, sorry to hear about your back. On Rey losing the title, I wouldn't sweat it, as all you're losing is 5 points per win and you have to consider him the top cruiserweight contender no matter what. Just opens the door for another big PPV score for him down the road somewhere. I wouldn't be surprised to see him get it back at No Mercy or soon after.

maybe he can give me some tips then, he is usually around during the day.

and while we're discussing my problems -
what should I do about my immense credit card debt? you guys are older and wiser than I so I ask for you wisdom... I just called Ameridebt
and they are sending me info. I wish there
was a way for someone to just pay everything off and get all the creditors off my ass - no wonder
my back hurts - and then I could just pay them
once a month. theres always bankruptcy.... haha...
finding a job would help, I am still jobless but unfortunatlely I can barely sit up, how could I possibly work?!... my life is a wreck.
but at least Rey got me 12 points...

GO, the rule of thumb is to never let the credit card debt get to “immense” stage. Carrying a small amount of it is fine though. Once you get to that stage, I really have no idea what to tell you that is not obvious already. Like pay it off as soon as you can because they will kill you with the interest.

i gotta say i'm glad to see Eddie, probably the best wrestlers on the planet earth today, getting some serious recognition from the WWE. amen.

great one, CC Debt SUCKS....i've been in it for years, and last month paid the final payments on three different cards and cut those fcukers up....


first thing you gotta do is take those cards and shove them in your sock drawer, and lose them there. do not use them.

second thing is call the CC company, and ask for a lower Interest rate...they'll give you some line like "oh, yea, seems we have a special deal this month, and i can, indeed, lower it"....

then call them every 2 months until they lower it again. then keep doing that.

or, apply for a credit card with a big limit that will let you transfer balances for zero percentage. but only do that once. if you get rejected, don't keep trying.

EVERY TIME YOU APPLY FOR A CREDIT CARD - whether you're rejected or accepted - IT'S BAD POINTS ON YOUR CREDIT RATING!!!!!!

Credit Card debt is bad. very bad. I am glad I am out of that hole.


Looks like my team is rolling to a fast start. Eddie is carrying the team and a nice effort from the Show last night as well.

Ah, my bad.

Brock Lesner 5

To my knowledge, he didn't appear until after the main event, during Vince's "Title Presentation Ceremony".

GO,

Couple things, as far as your back goes, where does it hurt? I hurt my lower back, L-5. Hurt like a sob. I put ice on it and it seemed to work ok. I am still not getting around great, but better then I was.
As far as your credit cards :
Not that i know much about finance, but from what i have heard depending on what interest rate you have you might want to look into a personal loan. That is what my wife did and cut her payments in half. Her credit cards rates were like 13% and 15% her personal loan was like 5.5%. I heard that you dont want to go through ameridebt it puts a negative rating on your credit for 10 years. Finally i would NOT try to get out of debt by gambling. that is the worst thing you can do.

Tree are you sure it is bad for your credit rating to keep applying for cards that you get accepted for? I have 5 Credit cards, all have minimum balences and when we applied for our house loan my credit score was 798, which is pretty high for anyone, especially a college student.

where would I get a personal loan from? thats really what I was looking for - but I don't have a clue where to go.
I have APRs as high as in the 20%s... its insane.
Vince McMahon has 575 million, maybe he could just take care of it for me :)

I have like 5 cards all filled up - so getting more and transferring is out of the question.
And don't worry, they have all been chopped and tossed for some time now - its just been war trying to make all the payments and with moving and stuff like that i haven't been able to and now late fees, over limit fees, etc... are piling up.
Plus my student loan is there and taking any kind of money out of my pocket every month. Thankfully - in the long run - I cut my rent/utilities in half and then some by moving up here to NJ with my brother - Now I just need to find a freakin' job that doesn't screw up my back (damn landscape work for quick cash)! :)

thanks for all the input guys...

and my back hurts about 3/4 of the way down mainly on the left side - but the whole back is killing me from tensing up - I am assuming its spasms - but maybe I pulled a Culpepper and broke something.
To further complicate my hellish situation I have no health insurance since I am in the middle of moving/switching jobs - so I can't even afford to go the doctor unless I get shot in a driveby and someone took me there while I was unconcious.

just go to a couple banks and see what they can offer. say you want a consolidation loan. My wife had 2 credit cards both maxed out at 2500 dollars a piece. she got a 5000 dollar consolidation loan from M and T bank and her payments went from 260 a month down to 121 a month. Her interest was 20 percent too. Check it out bro.

there is a difference between having credit card and taking care of them, and constantly applying for credit cards when you keep getting rejected for them....my girl used to have to do credit checks for a previous job, and that was one of the many things that causes you to lose points...

Tree is right. Excessive inquiries lower your credit score.

The only inquiries that won't lower the credit score is if you are mortgage shopping for a house, but then they need to happen at the same period in time.
