We’ve been hearing so much about credit cards these days. We’ve had them for years and for the first time we ran into something we couldn’t explain.
My husband got a phone call from GE Money saying they wanted 80 plus dollars immediately. He told them that he had no idea what they were they were talking about. They asked for our complete address and he gave it. When I got home we discussed it and we were afraid our identity may have been stolen
I got busy and looked up GE Money on the web and found it was a real banking company.We were still in the dark and wondered for days about what could be going on. Continue reading

Last night I had a new experience. I took the test to be a Jeopardy! contestant.This test is 50 questions. You have 15 secs to dig the answer out of your brain and type it in. I did all this. Now I have no idea how many questions I answered or how many I got right. It was too fast to keep up with my answers. If I ever do this again I will have my husband with me and shout it out when I get one right. After the test is over, they tell you that you won’t be informed about results and will never know how you did until you are contacted to come to some distant city to take a test in person and this could be a year away. Somehow, I’m not optimistic.
Most of you know that I am not a young person.Most of the time I consider this an asset, I have many years worth of trivia in my brain.Not because I am a brain but because I read all the time , keep up wih current events and work the hard crossword puzzles. Continue reading

Conan O’Brien is the real villain in the “Tonight Show” controversy, contrary to the claims of his supporters. Several years ago O’Brien bamboozled NBC into taking the “Tonight Show” away from Jay Leno and giving it to him in spite of the fact that Leno had been leading his time slot for years. That’s the equivalent of benching Bret Favre to play a quarterback who has never made the playoffs.
Shortly before the transition from Leno to O’Brien someone at NBC figured out Leno was one of the few at the network who could actually win his time slot. To keep him, NBC decided to put him on in prime time even though variety shows, except for contest shows like “American Idol”, hadn’t worked in prime time for years. Continue reading

The Patriot Update has posted an online petition at Vision to America to “demand that CSPAN be allowed to provide live TV coverage of negotiations and committee meetings.” They are concerned that “Failure to allow live TV coverage will provide Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid with the secret back-room necessary to make the secret pay-offs.”

Democrats received some negative comments after it was discovered that they had bribed Nebraska Sen. Ben Nelson by offering to pay for new Medicaid recipients in Nebraska only. Democratic Senators in most other states apparently gave their votes away without getting anything for their voters. Continue reading
