Last credit card sale here was on January 7. I don’t think I am going to bail my blog out again by getting one. The end is near and I am ok with it. This started as a three month joke back in 2012 and it has lasted way longer than everyone in this universe predicted it would. When almost 2 months go without a single cc sale from readers it just proves that readers do not support it. End of story.

Enjoy the Friday post.

Another phucking snowstorm today. And just when you thought this Musk/Trump shitshow could not get worse, hold our beers.

Never heard of scurvy, wow!

I started drafting the Friday blog post. And already have added/replaced two mind blowing links I discovered just today. Starting on Wednesday it is most likely I won’t be doing any additions to the links already prioritized and in the queue…they would have to be mind blowing squared or something like that.

I feel so much safer with no more paper straws LOL.

Normally I don’t care for a super bowl blowout but that game was enjoyable. The Chiefs’ luck finally ran out.

In other news: scurvy?!?!

Yeah, I agree. I kind of felt how the Lions felt losing to Washington. You know, sometimes nothing goes right. At all. I went to sleep at 40-7 or something. I don’t like this type of rap, never really understood all the crap between this guy and Drake and I don’t give a shit actually…but the visuals of the show was pretty impressive imho. Also, so much DEI 🙂

They watched how the Bucs beat the chiefs in the 2021 Super Bowl. Turned out to be a very boring game. The Eagles were just too dominant. I need subtitles to understand the halftime show.

Weekly email with blog traffic showed some improvement. Maybe there is hope this blog will be discovered…one day.

Hit lowest weight since my college days on Sunday morning. Celebrated with ribs and chicken wings while enjoying the KC Chiefs taking a hell of a beating.

I was going to start drafting the Friday post today. Took a quick peak at the credit card sales table and there has been zero action there since January 7. So I passed and will start it…eventually.

My life will have less stress without this blog. I can’t believe the days has not come yet to say “Phuck it, I am done”.

You all have a great week.

Maybe I do a daily comment. To increase page views and ads revenue, lol.

@ David: Two months trip all on points, we are not worthy 🙂 Thanks again for the support and kind words. All nine of you long time supporters would be taken care of when I sell my blog. Sadly, there has only been one offer for $100 and I am not sure that was even serious lol.

@ DML: Some people just can’t help themselves, they live to grift. Some scientists one day will discover a fraud gene I tell you. The 5k is in April, I think I have enough time to train lol. Not thinking anything beyond that at this point. Thanks, you are one of the nine by the way 🙂

@ Nellcat: Wow, thank you so much for the kind words. My son has been telling me to start a Patreon and give those readers the full post and only give a sample of each post to free readers. And I am like, you know, yet another platform to maintain and that will restrict more people of being educated/entertained/inspired. I did not start this blog to make money, I just want to make a little bit to justify to my own brain cells that it is worth the time/pain to bring this baby to the world 🙂 And it’s been okay…while trying to see the first cc conversion this month smh. But no worries, someone in my household will use my links before the end of the month, it’s like an internal bailout lol. Internal bailout, just came up with that. What I dread is one day I receive that email from my 2nc cc vendor telling me “sorry, due to low sales, we decided to end our relationship”. Frankly, I am shocked it has not happened yet. When that happens, I will look to go to the newsletter route…Thank you.

@Sexykitten_7: Yeah, these scams are increasing in sophistication. Just learned a relative back in Malaysia lost a lot of money in one of them. This is happening every day and these people are really really good at this. Always be alert and block/delete without any hesitation. Hope it does not get to that for 1099s, has to be a better way. I am sure DOGE is on it lol.

@Christian:
>>>>>>>What scares me is that if someone that savvy could almost get taken then what does that mean for the rest of us poor schmucks?
Exactly!
Thank you always, you have been there supporting this little baby of mine for a long time. If most readers did use my cc links I would not be bitching about making less than minimum wage around here for so long. Which I really don’t like doing anyway but it kind of justifies in my own head to keep this crusade to change the world going. Until the ax falls I think I am hooked at this. I am enjoying the ride, thanks for coming along.

And now time to head to the gym, only 23 F degrees outside, it’s a heatwave!

@ Carl: Thanks for the kind words again. No worries about the coffees. Looks like the Italy trip is coming together nicely. I need to retire from travel agent duties. I know I need to take it slow in the running. But we talked with friends to do the Copenhang marathon in 2026. Of course I made sure there is a half marathon lol. I am so far from that point.

I’ve said it before but I’ll repeat: Thanks for doing this. I use your links where possible (very unfortunate about Chase tightening up so hard on business cards) but I don’t think I have any kids so that restricts my options a bit. When you do shut down I’ll say that even if you made a difference to a dozen people as I’m certain you have then you’re doing better than a lot of people I know, arguably including myself. In the meantime, keep up the good work.
