Worst Credit Card Company EVER!

A piece of advice: don't EVER do business with Barclay's Bank, aka Juniper Bank. These companies (or this company?) operates Frontier Airlines' mastercards. I lover Frontier, but the bank they have chosen SUCKS. I signed up for the card to get miles (I fly Frontier to Austin a whole bunch), and for the 0% interest on balance transfers. I transferred $3,000 to the card, and since I did so about three months ago, I have paid and paid and paid, both monetarily and stress-wise for doing it. Random, inexplicable fees keep showing up. The latest, a $46 finance charge. I call. I'm supposed to have 0% on balance transfers and that's the ONLY thing on the card. I've never used it for a purchase. No, not a cash advance either. So the lady keeps making stuff up. Maybe it's this? No, maybe this? Hmmm, let me put you on hold for a LONG time.
Before, I had two big fees show up that I couldn't explain, so I called and the guy told me that it was Wachovia's fault and he couldn't refund the money because it was a Wachovia charge. Mind you, my bank is NOT Wachovia, and the credit card is not operated by Wachovia. So why is Wachovia suddenly charging me $40 through Juniper Bank? Who knows. I only got that refunded because I spend hours on the phone talking to "supervisors." So far, it has cost me about $150 (or is it $200?) just to have this card, so I could save money on interest. That idea DID NOT WORK, and now I'm going to have to pay the fees to transfer the balances back to the cards they were on, pay interest on the debt again, and maybe cry. This has been one expensive money-saving venture. And I'm still on hold.

My favorite part...

...is when I walked into the men's room at the Hilton North Glendale this morning. With luggage. And almost had a heart attack. I thought to myself, ladies' rooms don't usually have urinals. OH, it's not a ladies' room. It's a men's room. Back out the door quickly. Very quickly. Oh good, no one around. Open the door to the ladies.' Jump about 6 feet in the air when there's a lady there. It's ok, she didn't see you come out the other one. You're in the right place now. So is she. Proceed.

Friendship

Friendship is a fluid concept. But given the fact that we invest so much time and energy in friendships, why is this the case? You can be friends with someone for years at a time, and then -flash- it's gone. One misstatement. Or, there are those friends that you invest so much time with, trying to "get" them; help them cope with their various issues. You try and try and try to understand these people, you try everything you can think of to help them, and they will not reciprocate. They persist in their state. When do you give up?
