Caveats:
1* - I have a television in the bedroom, but it's not plugged in. It's in there because it was a hand-me-down that I haven't hooked up yet.
3* - Does the cheap Epson inkjet printer count? It does a good job on photos.
7* - I have a set of Egyptian cotton sheets, but I paid $17 for the set. They were originally $150 and I caught them on the marked down down down rack and then had 20% off. Does that count?
9* - I have one Visa besides my debit card, but then I have three specialty store credit cards (Penneys, Lane Bryant, and New Egg)
10* - I don't care how poor you are. It's nice to take a long weekend and get away, even if it's a cheap vacation.
11* - I will send stuff back if it's specifically not what I asked for. I'm not super picky about the way stuff is cooked, but if I ask for broccoli and you give me green beans, I'm sending it back.
12* - I visited NYC once. I live in the state the rest of the time.
13* - It was a local community group intermediate swimming lessons thingy.
