Visa "Extras"

Even though I've had my Visa debit card for about 6 years now, I just signed up to Visa "Extras" Reward Points system. It was only until after I signed up that I noticed how ridiculous these "extras" really were. Every $1 I spend is a point. So far, one of the cheapest things that I've found on the site was a $5 Subway giftcard for 3200 points. Meaning... I would have to spend $3,200 for a $5 giftcard. That's pretty pathetic... Why even bother?!

Superstitions

My mom's super superstitious. I've been trying to track down the random things she comes up with that are supposed to be "bad luck" and here's the list that I have so far:

• Big, tall trees covering the front of your house.
• A fork being stuck straight up into your dinner.
• If you get married, you can take/borrow anything from your parents (i.e. plates, blankets, toasters, etc.), but not knives. Never knives.
• When stepping into the house of someone who's past away, you must step with your left foot.

That's all I have for now. I will definitely update this list because she keeps adding to it!

Dad: "Verizon's not coming?"
Me: "... Uh, what?"
Dad: "Huh?"
Me: "I called the neighbors and they said the construction workers aren't at home."
Dad: "Yuh." *click*
