i don’t get any TJMaxx bucks! how does one go about getting those??? i do have a black card at Lord and Taylor which is DANDY, and xshub has absolutely no idea what that is, or how one becomes entitled to it!

She uses a TJ Maxx credit card. It’s a Visa card. She says she gets the bucks back from Marshall’s and Homegoods as well.

[xsmommy]

i’ve always resisted getting their credit card, but maybe it’s a good idea. I think i knew Marshalls and Homegoods were also related. i love those stores, but TJMaxx is the best IMO.

Actually, ANYONE who did not vote for him were so accused. For an all-inclusive party, there’s a lot of racism in the base.

I hope this little demon experiences exogamy every night in his prison cell.

[xsmommy]

If any juvenile was deserving of the death penalty it’s that one.

Shivs were invented with that punk in mind.

[NeoCaveman]

Indeed.

Hopefully he suffers much first.

You can apply for TJ Maxx Rewards card on line. You get 5% back. Don't even think about keeping a balance, as interest rates approach loanshark levels, near 30%. Some good info here.

By the way, I don’t know exactly what Jim Rob did, but since the last server upgrade, FreeRepublic has gone from being the slowest site on the internet to the fastest. Kudos!

He must have use his foot to pull the trigger, like Hemingway.

[tioga]

his time was running out one way or another....

Great example!

[tioga]

While many desire exogamy between Republicans and Democrats, it ain't gonna happen.

[xsmommy]

we never carry a balance on credit cards. that is such a bad idea regardless of the interest rate.

Yup, the old-line RINOs have us headed to the same place the dems do, albeit a (tiny) bit more slowly.

Well, it’s the biggest tribe that we all belong to — brotherhood and sisterhood. LOL.

I’ve always said that all marriages are mixed by their very definition — man and woman. Adding other elements just further complicates matters. Of course, I came to that conclusion years before anybody thought up the perversion called same-sex marriage!
