It was during the height of the off-with-their-heads bank frenzy, slashing credit limits here and closing cards there. With the exception of US Bank and credit unions, it often felt as though the banks had gotten hold of equal amounts of automatic weapons and cheap booze, and that they were using them simultaneously in their attempt to convince themselves that they were pulling back overextensions of consumer credit. The name of the game was keep your head down, and let someone else catch their attention.
I still do that to some extent --I don't ask for CLI's and so forth --but I use my CC's when and where I want, and again, I've never had a problem.
Cheap booze and automatic weapons? Where do I sign up? lol 
Hauling, I've always loved how you turn a phrase.
I have found that purchases of medical and dental work 
hurt the most.
