Tumblebugs Witty Quotes

2008-05-13T18:27:00.000-07:00

I have been engrossed with a PC game called Tumblebugs lately and at first I was so preoccupied with it that I ignored some of the game details until recently I noticed that Tumblebugs gave out cool interesting tips after you finish each level.

The tips confused me at first as it is applicable not only in the game but in life as well. I find the quotes, funny, interesting, and smart. The creators of this game must be really creative. Would like to share some of the quotes/tips now.

You are being watched...cut out the hanky panky for a few days.

Never mess up an apology with an excuse.

Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

Money will not buy happiness but it will let you be unhappy in nice places.

If you want your spouse to pay attention to every word you say, talk in your sleep.

Everything your mother ever warned you about is true.

A 3 year olds’ voice is louder than the voice of 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.

Diplomacy is the art of saying “good doggie” while looking for a bigger stick

Sometimes speed is the way to win (especially later on).

Don’t worry too much about what other people think…they seldom do that

Freedom from Bad Credit!

2008-05-07T19:12:00.000-07:00

To this day, I hold a number of credit cards and I believe it’s because of my good credit standing in each of them. As a credit card holder, I just noticed that credit cards are good friends but bad enemies. They value the trust they give you and reward you if you remain true and faithful in paying debts but the moment you are unable to pay, the bad credit standing would stay with you, like a permanent mark in your reputation.

It is easy to say that one should just avoid getting a bad credit standing but with high interest rates and inevitable circumstances, sometimes you also got stuck with bad credit cards, the bad credit standing can sometimes be unfair.
Good thing is that there are still companies who are willing to give those with bad credit history a second chance. BadCreditOffers.com offer bad credit loans and good paying schemes that allow you to purchase your dream car, dream house…just about everything you need to secure financial security!
