I felt a little better that Madame X over at my open wallet had just made the same mistake that I did, namely forgetting to pay a bill or two. I had the same sentiment that she did: what is wrong with me? At least I was able to reverse most of the related charges. I feel so out of it nowadays. Hardly have any energy left.

Should the Guy Always Pay the Bill for Dates?
http://www.stopbuyingcrap.com/even-more-ramblings/should-the...photo credit: fortinbras Probably opening up a can of worms to a classic debate… but the question popped into my mind again while reading Madame X’s latest posting on the subject at My Open Wallet.
