Great information everyone. I was able to just get Libre to save a ods and now it works. Although sometimes it reverts back and I have to go back in and change to save as ods. Funny you should mention using an older Paid for copy of Microsoft Office. I have a copy that I purchased, but I...

I generally only use a spreadsheet a couple time a year. One at tax time for a data sheet for my accountant, and secondly to keep track of my bank accounts, with my account numbers, cd and money market amounts, interest rates, maturity dates and their contact information. I hate the thought of...

Yes, I couldn't help thinking while watching - how nice it would be to have one of those available for the homeless. But we wouldn't allow them to park it. :nonono:

I totally understand his story. It mirrors my childhood with my mother who suffered the same diagnoses and was also an alcoholic. I continued to help support her from the day I got my first job until today. She is 96 now. I can't say I understand myself and why I did what I did. But now in...

Yes the least expensive Tivo Roamio is usually for just one TV. I believe you can hook up a Tivo Mini with it. That cost another $100 and $6.00 a month extra for programming or $150 lifetime subscription. (so basically $250 more) But you can also access it on-line and on mobile...

The most liked and simplist DVR for recording OTA channels is the Tivo Roamio. They offer it once or twice a year with lifetime subscription for guide for either $299 or $399. I can't remember which. They had on Amazon about two months ago for this price with lifetime subscription...

Didn't know they had a 4 tuner unit. Looked it up on Amazon. Reviews are quite mixed. http://www.amazon.com/Tablo-HDTV-Antennas-4-Tuner-Wi-Fi/dp/B00MWLZR0I I would like 4 tuners. Right now I have a computer hooked up to my TV and use it to record, using Media Center. Works great but would...

Wish you had gotten some responses. I am in that situation where this has been recommended, but I am resisting. Would love to hear from anyone who has them. I was quoted $25,000 just for uppers.

Well I will have to check again. But while I was in Florida and I wanted to add an additional umbrella on cars, I was told I had to first add max coverage on cars.( $500,000.) When I moved to Nevada, they told me the same thing. This is with Nationwide who we have been with for a long time...

I can't do that and carry an umbrella policy. Must carry a limit of $500,000/$100,000/$300,000 to be able to purchase umbrella. I shopped price when I first moved here three years ago. Need to do it again at renewal time. imoldernu Those are some really low prices. I have read a lot about...

Agree on the movie "Prime of Miss Jane Brodie". It was a favorite of mine way back then. I saw it on Amazon, and was tempted to watch it again, but got distracted. Maggie Smith is a fabulous actress. She is priceless in Downton Abby. Love her facial expressions and delivery. All the...

Yes that is a good point. I considered the cost of miles driven from farm or distribution center to store. But the drivers are not local. They usually hail from where the food is distributed from. Produce is more farm dependent on agricultural areas, but items like bread, canned foods, etc...

All the reasons listed above by BCBS are reasons for advocating a single payer system, where everyone is in and cost of insurance is paid through your taxes. Many of the problems listed could be curtailed with adequate time. #1. Drug prices are going nuts, and without some cost containment...

To answer another poster's question, what I was saying is we often look at things like the cost of a home in your chosen area along with the real estate taxes and sometimes perhaps state taxes. in determining a more reasonable place to relocate to. (when considering COL) But all of those other...
