I can get rid of the truck payment six months early, eliminating a bill entirely. That will make me feel good.

The previous owner had them, I've been moving them around to keep them in sun, but they're C.

I wonder if you could be persuaded to give a talk about the evolution of your beautiful garden to the garden club here, just outside Brevard. We are at approximately 3000 ft. elevation and in a community that values natural landscaping. We could provide a modest honorarium which might even help with that truck TazMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10235377516213665942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611983692965659884.post-3545799162018418362022-06-28T18:58:02.035-05:002022-06-28T18:58:02.035-05:00Credit card interest rates are scandalous - up to ...Credit card interest rates are scandalous - up to 20% now I hear.

Once I start making progress there, I may be a bit more enthusiastic. The goal is to be debt free by the time I start to collect my meager gubmint check.Christopher C.
