Pottery Chatroom Board

Good morning everyone. Finally made it back here.

Speaking of paying bills. I only have one that is allowed into my bank account and that's car insurance. Having said that, I pay all my bills on line but through my bank. I log on to the bank then go to my list of payees and tell the bank how much to cut a check for. Most are hooked on their web but if not, like my pest control (small company) then they cut and mail them a check. I don't like allowing utilities etc to have access to my account. I'm still using the packet of checks they gave me when I opened the account. Had a roofer out for some repairs and had to dig around to find that packet to write him a check...lol.

Susan, I guess they are sticklers for the once a year mammo thing. They do the same thing with prescriptions for me..if it's a day short of renewal time they make you wait. I love getting one filled and discovering it's on their el cheapo list too...lol. As for the game and the race. Do you have the record ability? I'm dropping cable in Sept and will have to buy a VCR I guess as there are some shows I don't like missing. Not many..but a few. I don't watch a lot of TV..just have it on for the noise in the evenings..and am tired of paying that extra 60 bucks per month. I have a Roku and can watch just about anything on Netflix and HBO Go. The grandkids logged me on to their account so it's free to me.

Cathy, they hack to get your personal information. Prolly don't give a hoot about your med records but all your ID stuff is there. That way they can gain access to your bank, credit card info etc and also use it for ID theft to open accounts, buy a car...whatever.

Lynn, I've had a Hoover steam shampooer since about 2000 and have been really happy with it. It isn't really heavy but does a good job. I also have one of those old ones that have the spinning brushes and you can change them for waxing buffer pads. The tank is cracked so you can't use it that way but find for heavey traffic areas I can use the steam on then run the rotary one over it to scrub better. I haven't done that in years but loaned it to the GK's as they had a lot of bad spots from the kiddos. Now IT weighs a ton...lol.
