I am strongly encouraging people to go to bundle for 5 minutes a day and post 3 - 8 responses on their threads. I figure if 40 or 50 of us do 5 posts a day for a month, they will have more traffic than they have had probably lifetime to date. At that point, they will have seen our power and decided if they want to serve us or not. Once we get to Valentine's day, we can admit that all the talk about improvements to make us happy was lipservice. But, if we don't show up at all, we will never know for sure that they don't care.
I am going to tell you what I went and did at bundle each day, and encourage you to do the same.

On those forums, aren't the posts held up, and reviewed by some moderator group, prior to the message being shown on the forum?

I left a rather snarky comment on that last one too.

So Thyme, you were banned from Bundle?

I don't know, maybe I'm jumping to conclusions (does that fulfill a new year's resolution to exercise more?)
But, when I tried to post it gave me an error, and then when I went back in, I couldn't log on. It didn't tell me I was banned or anything. It just wasn't able to log back in - even after multiple attempts.
I will go back later today and see if maybe they are just poorly constructed.

Is she the same one that asked for help finding a way to spend New Year's that didn't involve a new outfit, taxis, and going clubbing? Um, host a BYOB/potluck house party?

I don't know - I doubt it. I'm under the impression she thinks talking about finding great deals makes her a finance expert.
I'm guessing she spends far more than she earns.

I can't decide which. I tried to give Bundle a fair hearing, I really did. I want to stab my eyes out after reading the articles.

Right now there are 4 threads on spending, splurging and/or getting great deals.
One thread is about "imagining" your way to saving for the future.
I probably shouldn't die on this hill. LOL.
P.S. I'm kind of disappointed that I didn't get banned. That would have been a better story.

I laughed at her initial response to your comment. Talk about defensive.

But, you know...
I might have been temporarily kicked out because if you post 5 times in 10 minutes they have some logic that thinks you are spamming the board. Very plausible.

The J - she probably should be defensive. I can't categorize my comment as anything but an attack.

"One thread is about "imagining" your way to saving for the future."
Next, Bundle will be partnered with the author of "The Secret" to feature articles about wishing and hoping your way to financial security.

OMG. Too funny, Wasting. I, for one, HATE Target. LOL.
We should just be rogue posters, popping in a trolling Bundle's stupid threads until they shut down.

Oh my god! I need to register there but I'm having trouble doing it at work. They interviewed the Asian kid from Glee who didn't even speak until this season?! About money?! There was no money talk!

You can register there without giving them your info. I left pretty much everything blank when I signed up. I went ahead and posted my savings stats and a little bit of basic savings advice.
