Another TBB fav song:
Blog action was way down over the weekend. Because there was a Frequent Flyer Traveler University event somewhere. Nowhere else you can find how to travel for free for only $229 plus travel expenses when…you can just read the blogs or, preferably, read my blog and save you all the hassle.
Why so many bloggers are flying Frontier? And they are all smiles?
After giving up on Chase Ink Business Preferred, son went for the Citi AA Business card. 70k AA miles will come in soon. It was weird not having a minimum spend or waiting for a card 🙂 Instantly approved, take that Dimon!
I was served notice that I must get 10 credit card conversions this month or I am out. I think this may be it. I was recently chosen in a Top 10 list in my other job and I could make a lot more money instead of slaving away here not making minimum wage you guys. And pissing everyone off with my whining! But, darn it, it is so much fun! I must confess I miss Ingy though…What is not fun is being deflated without any clicks at all! But I am willing to do my part this month you guys 😉 TBBing is my crack, been like this for nearing 6 years now (wow!!!). One day this baby will stop…enjoy it while it lasts!
I hit a new weight low yesterday. Okay, just 0.4 lbs down from two Sundays ago but it counts! I have also somehow started running, I logged 4 miles Saturday and then 5 miles on Sunday. Personal bests. Well, the five mile run was the only one ever so of course it was personal best lol. I don’t know how Marathoners do it, wow! That video I posted recently of that Ultra Marathon guy was inspiring to me. “Take the next step”.
I have given up in not being surprised anymore by what Donnie does…ThereAreNoWords.
And I leave you with this…

No post tomorrow.
World Cup is about to begin, goooooooooool!
I just can’t get excited about Russia versus Saudi Arabia.
I think Saudi Arabia will surprise! This was well placed for Putin to start out with a bang…Hope they lose and people rise up 🙂
Interesting computer history. Did I just not see Fortran? Or von Neumann? Babbage?
I still remember playing games on my Commodore 64. A friend had a modem with his – all I remember is dialing up some boring message boards with it. We had Apple II computers in school, IIRC, but mostly just used them to play Oregon Trail!
C64 with a cassette player!
And the internet didn’t go mainstream until Mosaic was invented to easily access p0rn.
LOL yeah that’s true!
I loved my Walkman 🙂
Loved that hissing modem sound…Could not get to all the p0rn in newsgroups
In college I had to take a computer programming language course. It was Fortran. I still have nightmares about it
Why do Mondays suck?
I had to take some sort of introductory programming class too – might have been C+ but I could have that wrong. It sucked, thank God for my buddy Mark that helped me out – I just had no patience to pay attention in that class…soooo dull.
Wonderful color pics of D-Day, really brings it to life.
Remember you’ll have normal daily weight fluctuations, so it’s all good.
This is why I get on a scale every Sunday! I timed it perfectly after running for 5 miles Sunday morning 🙂
I signed up for the Chase ink unlimited via your link last month. You better get paid for that.
Thank you, hoping to not sweat it this month…Saving my own cc interventions until things get…really shaky 🙂

Hey, why leave the office so early?
Interns these days…
WTF did you expect boss?
With just $1.90 coming in yesterday and the last cc was…for your son…
I am staying away today…
Frontier and Barclays flew a bunch of bloggers to Denver to tell them all about their new (still sucky) credit card and oh some changes…
Be on the lookout for puffy posts…
I hope you make the goal. Due to tightened rules, I’m through with churning, but I’ve used your links where possible. Hopefully the credits post.
Thank you…Yeah, those darn rules are hurting us all!
I know, I’ve had to scale back and stretch out new apps, as well. Not sure if the wife or I will be able to do any apps this month – but I’ll continue to patronize your links when we do.
Thank you!
Lets see what happens this month. I am at four cc signups. If I don’t get ten this baby will change, been a nice ride so far!
Finally world peace with North Korea or whatever happened in Singapore.
Don’t get me started…
Lets give some credit. Trump scared them North Koreans silly so even talking face to face is indeed historic and can not hurt true peace prospects. Then again, giving these phuckers what they always craved (even a thumb up while he hailed against our G7 allies), to be seen as legit and an equal in the world stage, is really unfortunate. Tweet from 2014 from Trump screaming about how the North Koreans tortured the kid who wanted to get a flag while visiting (today is the one year anniversary of his death by the way) just shows how unconventional and incredibly moron this guy is. And saying he does not need to prepare because he can feel Kim….LOL…And then you get Rodman with a MAGA hat advertising potcoin…I mean, is this real life now or what?
These assholes have violated nuclear deals four times by now and complete denucleralization will take many years. Knowing the vast intelligence we have on the ground (that was a joke) it will take a generation to ensure they are all gone. Meanwhile, they fully expect to be propped up and stay in power.
To note: NK state media DID report on the summit right away without waiting for Dorito boy to come back. And showed pictures of Singapore too. So, maybe, something is really changing there. I guess we will all find out. Donnie will sell this as THE grand negotiator he is while continuing to freak out our South Korean and Japanese allies…and everyone else.
This is not normal.
Vote and vote often 🙂
That’s small potatoes – the BIG NEWS is that Amex is opening a Centurion Lounge at LAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At least, according to BoardingArea it’s big news!
Former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes wants to start another company:
https://gizmodo.com/disgraced-theranos-ceo-elizabeth-holmes-is-allegedly-lo-1826710013
I wonder if the feds are going to go forward with criminal charges?
The question is why they still haven’t. I think it is because they are dotting their i’s…to make sure they get it right as Theranos was not a listed company…The nerve this gal has to start another company, wow….and the many suckers out there who will give her money…and this is why Titans are winning while worthy bloggers fade away 😉
The feds will not do anything. Their investigation started >2 years ago. It is 2018. We just observed Rodman with a MAGA hat advertising potcoin.
When did someone last end up in jail for breaking FDA/CLIA regulations?
Yeah, good point. Sad!
George do you think that the Paparazzo photos of Anthony Bourdain’s girlfriend “sensually disco dancing” (dry humping?) and holding hands all day with a 28 year old hunk of a man in Rome 2 days before his suicide were connected?
Got video?
We want to take a few minutes out of our intense negotiations to give our thumbs up to a real thought leader!

Nice job TBB!
Congrats. I bet their collective favorite fund is the targeted retirement fund by Vanguard.
Quite frankly I wouldn’t let Josh Brown touch my money. I have more confidence in Barry R.
Lol on the Vanguard target retirement fund.
I am not sure any of these guys touch it, they have staff doing it 🙂
Congrats, George! Nice job!
Now, let’s see the ballot with the red arrows and you covering up your competition. #realwinners
Peeping Mark (Zuckerberg) has apparently been using his Onavo “internet security” app to see what people are doing in other products.
