Really good guide on points “pooling” of bank transferable programs.

IAG, the parent of British Airways, is getting in on this bare bones cross Atlantic fares thingie with its own low-cost airline. Its name: Level. What a ridiculous name for an airline, wtf!

These are cool…21 Insanely Cool Hotel Pools. I have been to the one in the Santiago W. Not that impressed.

The most outrageous hotel amenities. Hmm, in-room bartender and followed up by recovery concierge, I am in!

Sometimes you wonder…Zoo Sues Producers For Traumatizing Raccoon With An Erotic Video Shoot. Okay…not over yet. The raccoon’s name? Tomas. Bwahahahaha!

Take it to the limit. Great list at the Humble Dollar. You know what else is great? Cut and paste!

Here are just 15 of the obstacles we face:

1. No accomplishment leaves us happy and satisfied for long.
2. Our days are numbered, but we don’t know the count.
3. Next week, the house will need to be cleaned again.
4. We hunger to relax, only to hanker for activity.
5. We do foolish things to feel better in the moment: smoke, gamble, drink too much, take drugs, eat badly, spend excessively.
6. We think we know others, but we only ever know part of their story.
7. Today’s proudly purchased possessions elicit tomorrow’s ho-hum.
8. We have unwavering trust in our own unreliable memories.
9. We keep having to stop for sleep and sustenance.
10. We’re surrounded by lesser mortals, who refuse to see things our way.
11. Our bodies fail us gradually, and sometimes all too quickly.
12. After we cross the finish line, another appears in the distance.
13. We think we’re rational, but much of the time we aren’t thinking straight.
14. For any given activity, there’s a 50% chance we’re below average.
15. Today’s issues seem so important. A year from now, we can’t imagine why.

This is a good reminder that things can and will go wrong in this hobby. My 86 Day $2,415  Gift Card Mall Nightmare. So, just be aware. Of course you won’t hear much of that from credit card salesmen who are too busy selling credit cards to bother with this type of activity #expertsmyass

One day this will make a great parody but I need to work on her… #slowly
