April weather joke here.

Yesterday it was the warmest it has been (50s-60s). i went biking for the first time. But today there is snow. Yuck, yuck, yuck. At least by next Friday the weather should start being warm all the time (50+ each day).\

I do not want to see anymore snow!

"Require"?

Edit: The second part of that is correct. My understanding was that they limited the number of credit cards accepted to keep costs and selling prices down. What's interesting is that for most regular retailers, AE is the first one to go because of their higher fees to the stores. So they must have made quite the deal with Costco originally.

I did do Ny-Quil last night - that stuff really makes me so groggy when I get up. I fell asleep at one, was up for about ten minutes during the night, then slept until eight-thirty - so a little over seven hours, I guess.

Good morning. I got up very early to watch the eclipse.

At my DH's request, I do not use a debit card to shop. So I use cash at Costco. It keeps me from making impulse buys.

Harold Rome-

"Welcome Home" (from FANNY)

Perhaps it is only apocryphal that on night's when Florence Henderson's understudy went on in that Harold Rome show, she was heard to remark: "Tonight they will be applauding my Fanny."

Before here the only credit card you could use was American Express.

From DR Vixmom:

Quote

In ny you normally give vacant possession on the day of closing and generally it takes 60 to 90 days from signing of contract until closing. It's sounds as. If things work much differently in Oregon

I can't recall the time periods from contract to closing in other states. I'm pretty sure they all varied a bit, and often due to a date the buyers wanted in. I think we have rented back, or had the sellers rent back to us, for a few days. This time the buyers offered us one month free rent and the option to rent back for 3 months at a decent amount. We don't really want to hang around once it is no longer ours and have told them we will only need the first month.

With closing not happening too often in recent years it seems to be more common to rent back for longer periods after closing to find a new place to live. No way are we going to pack up our home before we close. Two homes near us that recently sold both had long rental back periods before moving out.

I buy very little at a time at Costco because I shop with cash. I have to make sure I don't go over the amount I have with me. I refuse to get an American Express card.

They will be dropping American Express April 1, 2016 and switching to Visa.

Jane · « **Reply #53 on:** April 04, 2015, 12:04:44 PM »

I see DR George already mentioned that fact, though I did add the date

Jane · « **Reply #54 on:** April 04, 2015, 12:05:20 PM »

We prefer using American Express but Visa will be ok, if we are still Costco members.

Back from a jog, poached eggs on an English muffin and buying some pants at Jos Bank. I will be writing about clothes in tomorrow's notes.

We are back from a lovely visit with Rev. Amy, her husband Ken, and their 3 delightful children - Nathan, 10; Timothy, 7; and Rachel, 2. The boys gave us a great tour of their new house, including where they store their extra paper towels. We then went into town for lunch, where I had a yummy taco salad.

One of my favorite lesser-known songs, and I think my favorite Harold Rome song

Sitting On Your Status Quo from Pins and Needles (Streisand recording)

I had never heard this song before and found that I quite like it. Thanks for posting.
