    Learning Microsoft Office

    I know there's online classes. That's not for me. Live, in person classes. For someone who is VERY basic in computer knowledge, and suggestions where to go learn Excel and Powerpoint? Goal isn't to be an expert, but to be able to know enough that the average job holder today knows. Thanks

    Any McDonald's Shareholders?

    **** I too - feel it. $2.99 for large fries. At Burger King - the soda prices (3.49 for medium) is tough. BUT - as an investor - the shellacking on social media, possibly tamping down on "corporate greed" - -- doesn't that mean my profit margins - or the the more socially acceptable way to...

    Fast food _McD's fish sandwich..shrinking?

    A fine sandwich I really like Filet O Fish but for me that counts as a snack, not a meal. It's more of a munchie or even a side dish. The bun is the secret on that sandwich. Good stuff. I usually hold the tartar and apply my own Mayo which my doctor suggested I do from the 10th of Never...

    Basement: Suddenly Cold and Drafty

    Thanks for the answers to those who came in later. Question Is it possible that a duct(s) is broken, and - it leaks cold hair because it's broken----and then that cold air is coming into the basement not from a single hole but maybe thru the usual cracks/borders in the false ceiling tiles...

    Any McDonald's Shareholders?

    Had to repeat it :) I'm on the fence too. Do people who might not go to MCD -- all of a sudden feel it's ok to go to CosMcs - when they know it's McD. Part of me thinks NO but I have to believe they've tested this out. And there is some evidence in other industries - people who won't buy...

    Any McDonald's Shareholders?

    My goals for hitting consistent singles and doubles....less than that sort of hurts, more than that is a bonus. MCD has been - by my standards a core holding and over the last 3 years I've done well with it. And I still totally believe in the growth story - yet a few months ago I read that...

    CHIP Insurance for Kids

    Thanks, yes looking at the companies CHIP is hooked up with. What I'm wondering - is that even if contracted to insurance companies, do providers know that said policy is CHIP-based and does that mean lower level of care.

    Wendy's to add surge pricing to menu items.

    hehe Will the corporate managers, and A.I experts be on hand, especially in tertiary areas......to explain to irate customers why their price is higher than they thought it would be, or wanted it to be? Answer.... Prolly not. Franchisees will get dinged for it. Upside: interesting YouTube...

    CHIP Insurance for Kids

    Hi..... I'm still looking into the specifics but it appears my income must've come in a lit bit low in the previous tax year. Yes I wanted it to appear low obviously to cut the tax bill and get healthy ACA credits - both of which have happened satisfactorily for 3 years now. So I get mail...

    Boeing criminal settlement for 737 Max

    Company culture Disclosure: Long Boeing. It's a decent sized holding for me, cost basis is around $199. I actually added some after this news at around 220. BUT I remember back when I bought telling a friend: We're not done hearing crap out of Boeing only because - I believe that such a...

    Basement: Suddenly Cold and Drafty

    Thermal Jerry one more note on the thermal gun..... It shows cold and warm - on solid surfaces. Is there a product that should actual cool breeze -- almost as if it was animation? Because it seems that's what I'm looking for - sort of a plume or streak

    Basement: Suddenly Cold and Drafty

    yep! I FORGOT TO WRITE...... I got a thermal gun. It's really cool. I did ceilings, walls, etc......and the obvious spots like corners, windows poorly built show tons of cold. But that's not breeze, it's just cold to touch. Much of the ceiling shows purple - which is cold -- but again I...

    Basement: Suddenly Cold and Drafty

    Possible clue??? Ok so I have tissues hanging on the ceiling. At times - when the heat/Ac is not running I do see a very slight movement in the tissues. Hard to deduce direction - but - it is slight movement. ALSO... I've not checked upstairs but in basement: Right now, HVAC is not running...

    Basement: Suddenly Cold and Drafty

    ..... The one thing I really am perplexed by..... IF this is the stove. Bath fan. The furnace. Whatever the culprit is -- - where would the cold air come to basement from? I don't feel anything by the exhaust fan. Or from the vents. Or cold air from furnace. But this level of cold - is no...

    Energy Auditor so far: (3) well reviewed companies. Also prominently feature energy audits on website and Google search. All say they are better than the power company because the power company just walks thru the house whereas they use blower motors, infrared, etc etc etc. All three write...
