RE: Taking advantage of the stupid!

But.....you'd look "cooler" in a Jeep. Chevys and Fords don't measure up to your "friends".

RE: Back from Denmark and Iceland

My Grandparents grew up and married in Denmark then came to the USA to make their home. We've visited a few times and love it. Just love it.

RE: My Aliner Experience

In our A liner, we removed all cushions and the table. In it's place, we put a good mattress for a futon and leave the bed made up all the time. Handy husband built in cupboards with sliding doors at the front and we modified the dinette seats to 2/3 size to allow the cupboard. We use lap trays to eat, if we eat indoors. He also made a counter on legs which sits over the sink so I have more counter space. As you said, you didn't wish to modify your camper but we did. We've been on a 5 week trip to Alaska and a 3 week trip to the West Coast. No complaints. You learn to do with much less and it works for just the two of us.

RE: Mothers' Day Lunch

This morning son & D-I-L stopped with a gift. I worked 1-5 at the greenhouse, (my part time job). Tonight we ate out with daughter, S-I-L, grandson and his wife. We tried to pay the bill, but they wouldn't hear of it. Other grandson called with good wishes. Great day.

RE: Attacked in my sleep!!!!

DH worked with a lady who came to work and was limping around. Her explanation: her husband dreamed about fighting with a bear over a stick. They both had ahold of it and the man figured if he kicked the bear in the gut, he'd let go of the stick so he kicked -- and hit his wife square in the back. So hard she fell out of bed.

RE: Blood sugar control

What's your A1C number ? Mine is decent, even if my glucose runs a bit high. My doctor is ok with it. His own young brother is diabetic, so he's got personal ties to it.

RE: Dental Professional Question - Sonicare

DIL works for a dentist and encouraged me to get one. I had a hard time paying that much for a toothbrush, but I'd get another one, it's just that nice. She says the hygentists can tell who uses them and who doesn't.

RE: Actions that melt my brain

DH called the County Extension Office to get advice on getting rid of moles that have taken up residence in our yard. The lady on the other end told him to "look it up online". He was so insulted. If that's the case, maybe we don't need these departments anymore. He told her "you look it up and call me back" and he left his phone number.

RE: Imported Foods

I objected to canned mushrooms from China, so I began buying fresh and fell in love with them. They stay fresh longer than I anticipated, so that's good.

RE: Credit card bill (odd thing)

My credit card statement says what merchant each purchase was made to, yours should also.
Absolutely it says where the charge was made (that would be pretty scary if it didn't itemize -- the charge in question was one of several to a home improvement store)
We assume it's not our charge (because we can't locate a receipt) but at the same time, we aren't getting billed for it !! Listed, yes, but not included in total.
I can shrug it off and move on. I was just curious if this has happened to anyone else, but I from the responses I got, I guess not .....

RE: Credit card bill (odd thing)

Could it possibly be a deferred interest charge? When you buy a large item with no interest for X months, they usually just defer the interest for the X month period and then tack it all on at once, if the item isn't paid in full in X months. The interest may show up on the bill every month but isn't added to the total until the Xth month.
No purchases except by cash for many years. But thanks for the suggestion anyway.
That makes nonsense. If you've had no purchases except for cash for years, why are you recieving a credit card statement??????
The suggestion (read above) was "could it be deferred interest charge" and that's what I was referring to. I'll rephrase it here: No interest free purchases have been put on our card for many years, so there's no chance of this being a deferred interest charge.

RE: Credit card bill (odd thing)

Did he return something to get a $74.53 credit?
If it showed up like this: -74.53, it would be a CREDIT on our bill and credits and payments are all listed first, before the charges. There is no minus sign preceding the amount and it was listed lower in the midst of other charges.
I was a bookkeeper for 40+ years. My bank statement has to balance to the penny every month or I look until it does. This 74.53 is just plain goofy. At least they're not charging me for it.

RE: Credit card bill (odd thing)

question the charge, I have done that from time to time, Sometimes they explained it and I paid it, sometimes there was no explanation.
If $74.53 was due them, (and I had no receipt), I would absolutely seek an explanation, but it's not part of the total bill. (???) Adding all charges listed, it's over $400 and they say I'm owing over $300. The exact difference is $74.53. Hmmmm !
