SBBE - yes the interest charged by these companies is evil, they are preying on desperate people.

Its horrendous.....people must be really desperate to use them.

Despite being world record holder he never quite fulfilled his phenomenal ability in the major championships. There is no doubt the ad was using his persona in my mind, even down to his signature red socks. Saying that it was based on Steve Prefontaine is also a liberty since 'Pre' was killed in a car crash in the early 80s. Prefontaine and Bedford were good friends, by the way; both a little maverick.<br />(I recite 'This is the day the Lord has made' every day, although I did not know what Psalm it comes from).Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13415361156288825232noreply@blogger.com
