Have you seen the Citi bank charge card commercial when three guys launch a weather balloon? The guy supposedly bought a weather balloon with his points from using his charge card. They set the balloon loose with a video camera attached. It comes down in a tree and they watch the video on an Apple laptop computer.
What does all this have to do with get a good credit card? The fact that you can have fun with credit card rewards programs should not be the overriding reason to get a credit card from this company.
There is a difference between having choices and making decisions. Although they both seem to have the same end result. But if you look at each word in different circumstances, you can see that choices may be limited or unlimited, but decisions have a limited number of outcomes. And you can have a choice without a decision, but you cannot have a decision without a choice.
Of course football games are unpredictable. The games last longer than anyone can estimate. There is overtime sometimes. But surely there must be a way to schedule two games without stepping on the end of the first one. And then show the second one in its entirety without bumping all the other shows that follow it into a late start. When I want to see a show that starts at 8:00 on a Sunday night, I want the damn thing to start at 8:00 – not 8:12, not 8:28 and certainly not at 8:48.

Can you imagine fixing breakfast for a team of football players? It must be incredibly expensive. I know those guys can EAT. They are all about protein, too. They want meat – and lots of it.
Me, I’m happy with a poptart and a cup of coffee. I have never liked breakfast and only eat it once in a great while – and then it is usually for dinner. My ideal breakfast is served at Cracker Barrel – I love their pancakes and they have all the sidemeats and eggs done any way you like, plus grits or fruit. Good stuff.
Some people are ugly and that’s all you can say about it. They just had the bad luck to be born with facial features or body parts that are not aesthetic. This does not mean they are bad people. If they were raised in a loving and supportive family, they can still blossom into great people. But they have been teased, bullied and neglected, what kind of monsters have those parents created? I think ugly people are here for a reason – to bring out the good in other people or to put a spotlight on the bad ones that raised them.
