Yes. I have two commenting systems. I put on Haloscan without understanding it well because I wanted to trackback. However, I don’t really get tracking back and doing the pings. (I don’t have time for all this. I just like to write!)

NCN has today’s question of the day. I really liked this one, partly because I can’t remember the first thing because I’m so old! But the real reason I like this question is that the last thing I bought on credit was my recent surgery. I started to rack my brain for other things [...]

Jonathan ,
Jim, and Claire are reporting the demise of the Citibank Divident Platinum Rewards card. Bummer. I have this card too. The cash back was rather nice. My official notice came in the mail last night.
Is it time to move to Discover or the Citi Driver’s Edge card? Not sure yet. All I know is [...]

After my first follow up with the oral surgeon, we planned out the second surgery. I asked if we could push it off till after the new year starts. And he said yes. YAY! That means more time to save! I can sink some more money in medical FSA next year now that I have [...]
