I am sorry for your loss.

I have over the course of the last 18 months lost a considerable amount of weight, going from obese to just above normal bmi. But the difference in just normal bmi and what I used to weigh is still too much. I interpret what you should weigh by measuring wrist - and at less than 5" then I am...

Mostly I only use about 160 killowatts a month. that will double in the winter because of being dark and using the furnace. Thinking of getting a LED light in front of the garage, but will ask about that later. It can't be more expensive than the Mercury one I had. But I think I will start a...

My electrician did explain the issue. The plug was not in the socket. It was not plugged in!

It is a gas furnace, and I think it might be the blower or something that is electric? Maybe the ignitor as ha ha said. The wiring was never hanging or missing as the original electrician said. It is covered in a think rubber ? tubing. The gas part of the furnace was working though. I do...

Hello, I am off work for the new electrician. My new wonderful, honest electrician. My heater is fixed. He didn't see any missing wire, but he pointed out the conduit or whatever that holds wires, and said - you just follow that under the house - and there are your wires. So he went under...

I had my kitchen redone a few years ago. I wanted the good quality stainless steel - no matter what I wasn't gonna buy the thin stuff and bought a display they were selling at Home Depot - I think like $100.00 - it didn't come with the strainers and it was a double bowl. can't remember the...

Well thank you for all of the information. I called the electric company and was not able to speak with Harry about his specific concerns and reasoning (I mean he is one man who covers the entire residential work for a city of half million, but he was so nice to ....take such an interest in my...

the original heater was in the crawlspace and if I had that heater replaced I could do it much cheaper than a combo heater/refrig air unit. I was just afraid people would not want to work on it. The plumber I originally called did not want to go into the crawl space to look for the electrical...

I think my problem with the existing wire may be that it is in the crawlspace under the house, and perhaps no one wants to go under there? I am afraid each person I get will charge me. As this guy said, well I don't have to have anything done and he will just charge me 90 mins of lab. If I...

The house was built in 1960, by a very reputable builder in the area back in the day so these house are supposed to be quality, and most repairmen will say that is the case. The electrician has worked here for years but has never heard of the builder. He says the panel, which has breakers is...

Well he says the electric company wants him to move the meter too, but he can't use the same space, which I don't understand why for the electric panel. Outside is preferable to inside? They don't want the meter in the back yard because if I put up a good fence, then they couldn't get to it to...

I am hoping someone has some experience in this area or can give me advice. So my heater did not come on by itself this year and I know it is getting older (like me) and will need replacing soon, but the plumber came out and worked on it and said it is fine, it is the electrical connection not...

How long have you been skating? I used to skate.

I used to get a month's vacation a year - and would take 2 days a month to get stuff done, that you can't do from work. I used to get two 15 minute breaks a day and a lunch period. I used to get off at 4:00. I have only had about 7 days off in the last 2 years. I haven't been on a break in...

It said I had to spend $1,000 less than my pension every year in order to get 95% success rate. I guess I just keep my retirement savings going and bank social security?

I have never used an ATM or a cell phone. I didn't want such easy access to my money, and now it is embarrassing, frankly, that I don't know how to do such a basic task. As for the cell phone, I was (am) too cheap and frankly I do not have enough to say to spend every minute walking anywhere...

It seems like these days it is difficult to reach the door to any store w/o getting past the team soliciting donations for everything. So today, I didn't make it past the crew in front of the library and when I went to give a donation I was told, "Oh no, we have a minimum of $5.00." Since I...

Hello, I am hoping to find some advice from someone, somewhere. I went last week to check out my free credit report and found a "Potentially Negative Item or Item for Further Review" on my Experien report - that is the only one I checked I had a Home Equity Line of Credit, and I opened a new...

Does anyone know of a link to a calculator that figures out the net cost when you invest in a tax deferred vehicle. I know I always used to see these calculators, but now that I need one, I can't find any. Thanks in advance if you know of one.

I will accept the fact that you think I am cheating the company. Just as long as I don't have to ante up my SS#.

Well it says you have the option to not put your social security number in, but then when I went for my score, the site said it would need my social security number in order to provide a result. No thanks.

Sarah - I did love MBNA. I was home taking care of my mother when she was dying of pancreatc cancer (home hospice) - and could not get out to pay my credit card bill, didn't have a computer at home - had a PO box. I called them - told them - they said - Don't worry about it. Pay it next...

My apologies Ziggy for misreading your post. I thought it was directed at me. Perhaps I will write a letter. I have actually already opened two checking accounts to take it's place. One at my credit union - everything is free there anyway, including the checks, I don't have to keep $10,000...

M. Paquette, I couldn't document every transaction - this has been going on for years. And obviously she is doing this per instruction.
