I lurk, therefore I am. Interests: law, knitting, cats, Eleanor of Aquitaine, books (line item in our family budget), creating complex maximization strategies for mindless computer gaming.

Yeah, that guy on the far left is exhibiting horrible fashion sense - ill-fitting checkered suit, and those tan boots! Also, if one of them has extra hands, the rest of them should as well - it's only fair.

I wish they had said "ill-fitting dark suit", and pointed out his weird power-pose-stance - he really looks like an important-person-wannabe.

It's more like "if your handicraft is too perfect, Minerva the goddess of such crafts will turn you into a spider because she doesn't want anyone to be better than she is."

In my (relative) youth, I spent much time tinking. I have recently determined that mistakes are there to prevent me from suffering the fate of Arachne, unless they are the equivalent of a fatal error. I'm now working on a two-color blanket with a 330-stitch cast-on. Hooray for duplicate stitches.

So yes, you'd have access to the full credit limit, but wouldn't necessarily avoid the larger interest charge.
Another consideration: liquidity needs. Do you need to have ready cash on hand, in order to meet unforeseen bills/expenses?

Depends on the card's interest policy - sometimes they charge interest on the "average" balance over the month, so by paying it off and then respending the same amount, you'd still end up paying interest on the new purchase. Also, some cards include interest for the month after you pay it off.

Of the 80,000 Somalis who live in the twin cities, only 4000 are non-citizens. And the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of those 4000 non-citizens are NOT undocumented—they are here legally.
There is no immigration issue to enforce here.

Reminds me of the UK's advertising campaigns in Nov. 1994: PR regarding chance of contracting Creutzfeldt-Jacobs from infected beef - 1 in 14 million, not gonna happen. Winning the new UK lottery (chance of main prize 1 in 14 million) - "It could be YOOOOOOU!"
