I set it up at my mother’s place and it works fine for her.

The property next door to us has been zoned for office use for about 20 years now. They were never able to develop it because they can't get access to the road because of the traffic. They are now trying to change it to a single family residential property. The county has requested the hold...

You got us thinking.... there's a shopping center near that restaurant. I want to try to get there super early. I would hate to wait too long and not be able to get an Uber or something when it gets closer. So, we will eat and walk around the shopping center and watch it from there. Thanks...

Eyeglasses for Eclipse I bought some at Lowe's, $2 each. The brand was recommended on what seemed to be a reliable source.

Totality No, I didn't know that so I did an internet search. San Antonio will be 99.99% totality. Our hotel is in downtown SanAntonio so we will probably stay there. I imagine traffic will be unbearable to get to Kerville, but if I find out it isn't, I will do exactly that. Thanks for...

Good to know! Thanks for mentioning this! :)

2024 Eclipse Thanks to this board, I booked a hotel in San Antonio before prices went up. We're flying there from Raleigh, NC, the day before and leaving the day after. I bought discount gift certificates at Costco for Southwest Airlines. I saved up points for the hotel. I hear the canal...

That’s an excellent point about pulling prescriptions up online!

Yikes! I’ll make sure to caution everyone. It’s me and 4 friends going. Even though we’re not mailing anything, the same rules would apply going through customs during our trip.

Thank you, everyone for responding! I feel confident I’ll be doing the right thing now. Since this is my first time traveling to Europe, I’ve been concerned I would miss some important detail and ruin the trip. Our plane leaves in just a few days and we’ll be gone 2 weeks. It’s a lot of...

I checked the Travel.State.Gov website regarding medication prescriptions and customs. It instructs to not bring more than a 30 day supply and it is recommended that you bring a copy of the prescription. Can thus be correct? I’ve heard if bringing the original bottles to prove what you have...

Thank you.

Can I use part of my iBond sale for tuition?

Some friends and I are going on a 10-day trip to Europe to include Rome, Sicily, Greek Isles, Turkey and Greece. This will be in October, and it's my first trip abroad. I currently have T-Mobile and will upgrade to their best plan for travel but wondered if I would get a better cell signal or...

I bought a treasury bill today on Vanguard.

It's a checking account. No interest. I was just comparing it to CDs or treasury bonds. I bought a treasury bond. 6.086% that matures in 3 weeks.

Thank you!

Just bought a T-Bill with 6.086% interest. I don't like the reason T-bills have high interest right now, but I'll partake in the cookies while available. It matures on 6/15/23. Wish it was longer.

I think I see what you mean. I was thinking it stayed the same interest for the 6 months after I bought them and then changed every May 1st and October 1st, but it seems like you're saying they change every six months from the date purchased and they ignore the newest interest rate until the...

Confused about interest rate on iBonds On the website our iBond purchased 5/1/22 notes 3.38% interest. The iBond purchased on 10/1/22 shows 6.48% interest. I thought they would both be 4.3%, the rate that went into effect on 5/1/23.

I was checking out bank bonus incentives today since I have a Treasury Bill that matures today. When I compare that to current CD & treasury bill interest rates, it seems paltry. Chase is offering: $1,000 Bonus -- At least $150,000 in new money or securities $2,000 Bonus -- At least...

My daughter has a copy of our will and trust, knows where we store it at home, and our attorney has a copy. She also has permission to get into our safety deposit box and knows where I keep the key. She just has to show her ID, like we do, as her name is on the list of people allowed to get in it.

My daughter's name is also on the safety deposit box so she can get in it if my husband and I pass at the same time. I also gave her a copy of the will and the attorney has a copy.

Thanks everyone! I will definitely use VRBO. :) Thanks everyone! I will definitely use VRBO. :)

Has anyone ever rented a house through VRBO? If so, how was your experience? I'm looking for something to watch the total solar eclipse in April 2024. I'm mainly concerned the owner could cancel for some reason, like a friend or family member asked for the house or they realize they can get...
