That is why they hate people like us that do our damnest to keep the balance to zero. I could use my Debit card like a credit card but hate to have that number out there in the credit world as it is right now the home to the extras money we are holding back.

Another blogger friend wrote about attending one with her family. I never knew it was an acronym since I'd never seen it in print. (Being in all caps would have tipped me off.) <br /><br />Hey, why do I get the feeling that the credit card companies do not feel like we're helping them out by paying off our debt? I thought that would make them happy, but we just keep getting calls from Discover asking if they can do anything for us. The call comes about every other week and they lower our interest rate or offer us another card or increased limit. It's like those ridiculous Swiffer commercials with the broom and mop singing "Baby Come Back".Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483309441288822407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34744429.post-9622096820240449332009-04-16T20:32:00.000-04:002009-04-16T20:32:00.000-04:00Master Gardener Programs are usually offered throu...Master Gardener Programs are usually offered through the county extension office. Here in Kansas you sign up for a 40 hour training program. We commit to do 40 hours of service for the community in return for all this knowledge. After the first year that drops to 25 hours. Busiest time is in the summer but you can sign up for things that fit into your schedule and interests. I do lots of youth activities because of my background as a teacher, but there are lots of other types of opportunities. Best of all you get to socialize with some of the best gardeners in the area who share not only tips on gardening but some of their prize plants.<br />Barb aka MGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34744429.post-35548661942176529852009-04-16T13:47:00.000-04:002009-04-16T13:47:00.000-04:00I'd like to learn more about this Master Gardener ...I'd like to learn more about this Master Gardener program - is it a State program or local?
