It'll never be a big deal to pay it off each month, since you already know you can afford the food you're already paying for, and you're probably not going to suddenly stock up on piles and piles of expensive meats just because you have a card in your hand at the store (you won't, right?) You've mentioned before that you'd like to get your food budget down anyway, so it may also be helpful to see how the amount fluctuates from month to month.

That is a great idea for cloud.

Healthy: errr...not really.
Wealthy: *blows out cheeks* nope.
Wise: *scratches head* Unless disasters really can be solved by reversing the polarity of the neutron flow, I'd say this is a no.

Cloud, I'm rebuilding my credit score with a prepay card.
Technically they loan me the monthly charges for a whole year, and I pay them back each month. In reality I don't get a penny in advance, so it's no risk for them, no temptation for me and I look like I'm a better credit risk than I am.

But then if you already have cards you're already out of my league credit-wise anyway...

Update: Health

Victor and I were on our way to dog school. I stop at the gate to open the electric fence get back in the car to go past it, I get out to hook the gate and then Victor locks the car. YAY! I had to walk all the way home and get the duplicate keys. [1/2 mile] Snowing and no hat.

Healthy: Well, I've taken our visiting Labradog out for two walks today. The first was to the woods just down the road from home so that gave us both an hour and a quarter's worth of fresh air and exercise. The second was less energetic but still counts as healthy - I think

Wealthy: Haven't spent any money. Haven't made any either.
I suppose one cancels out the other. Damn.

Wise: Am presently indulging in the restorative powers of a large mug of tea together with a couple of Fig Rolls.

Carruthers.

Edit: I once went into the supermarket in Torrington, WY looking for some biscuits (cookies) to have with my coffee and my gaze was drawn to a familiar looking wrapper. Ah! Fig Rolls I thought. Well, that's what they were, but they rejoiced in the name 'Cobblers' which is a mild obscenity on this side of the Atlantic.

He has a crate but I am working on car riding and separation anxiety [he whines] He was doing so good this time not a peep! So much for that he wondered WTH I left him in the car for 20 minutes! He bitched all the way to dog school.

massage, tipped massage therapist less than usual because of notes available (is OK, never had this one before, never will again, tip was still OK, just not overly-generous), learned a new button on excel.
