Good news bad news days

Good news, got a payraise, I think I mentioned that yesterday.   Bad news, I got my Credit extension too.  

Why is that Bad news?   Its not like I added more debt on, (YET), They just extended my limit, right?

Yeah,,, but now I need to get the parts for the Buffalo and that means work and that means MORE work to pay the debt BACK DOWN,,,   so, yeah, kinda sorta bad news,,,,

But all in all, its an improvement,,,,

All good: its a much better interest rate than others are offering and thats why I chose that route.   Still a tad high IMO, but certainly NOT the ursurous rates other companies are demanding.   All part of the recovery process from the turmoils I went through in the late Aughts.

And it reminds me of a lesson that I learned; one that sometimes gets forgotten.    ASK!    If you never ask, if you never buy that ticket, if you never extend the question, YOU NEVER GET TO TAKE THE RIDE.  Buy that lottery ticket ‘just ’cause’, ask for that extension of the credit,  ask the girl for that dance,

but’chagotta ask FIRST.  No one is ‘just’ gonna give you that chance (‘cepting maybe the girl, but you’d better be ready to pay that bill.)

ASK.

And sometimes, ya gotta put your foot in the door and risk getting your toes smashed,,,

And with those thoughts in me head, I think, in addition to my ‘good-ish vibes’ about our future, I think there is going to be a great awakening of people to the lessons I just mentioned.   We’re gonna have to ask for, even DEMAND, the changes we need in this country.   Its getting close,,,,

keep on livin’
