I wish Vancouver, B.C. had not copied the name of Vancouver, WA, especially since it is the well known Vancouver.

There are a number of towns named Ashland. My Ashland was originally called Ashland Mills. I like the sound of that and wish they hadn't changed the name even though it didn't have a mill anymore.

I am browsing our photos of Africa and want to return.
I love the way the giraffes are reflected in the water.

Jane, in answer to your question last night about whether I used to wear ski pants in the snow, no. I usually wore jeans with leggings underneath. Once the jeans get wet, I'd get cold. Thus the need for waterproof pants. My favorite winter coat was quite long, but too nice to wear when digging out my car. Then I wore a parka and jeans/leggings.

I needed snow clothes for playing with the boys when they were young.

When we lived in Pennsylvania legging worn over jeans were popular. On sunny days I would wear long underwear, jeans, and my leggings and be comfortable while sledding. I loved those days.

You know, you can always bring back that fashion.

Here is the front flap copy of the new book, which will hopefully allay any fears of a horror story or scary book

GEE is the story of a headstrong, willful and most peculiar girl who navigates her way from the early years of the twentieth century, through nine decades of living. It’s a life filled with the history of those decades, a life filled with wonder, sorrow, happiness, fate, unrequited love, and all the rest of it. She’s a girl with an indomitable spirit, humor, strength, and a unique perspective of the world and life.

It is also the story of another young woman navigating her way through life in the early twenty-first century. It’s a very different world and a very different kind of journey.

GEE is the tale of these two women, a tale told with warmth and humor. It’s a portrait of lives connecting across generations in ways that are sure to surprise and enchant readers of all ages.

That's really nice, BK.

Thanks for the answer MR BK....and the addendum DR JANE.....most interesting.....

Nothing that exciting here - my town Mooresville - was name for its founder Samuel Moore.....whose house still stand in the middle of town, across the street from my bank....it is now five apartments....and a business called Nails by Sidney & His Girlfriends....which I have never seen open....

Tumwater "is the oldest permanent American settlement on Puget Sound." The city bio says, "When the City was founded in 1845, it was named New Market. By 1863 the city was known as “Tumwater”, the Chinook jargon word for a waterfall."

I was told that it was named because of the "tumbling waters" of the Deschutes River, which kind of makes sense.

I did wear them a good while after they went out of fashion. I don't think they would look as good on me as they did back then

Interesting. I like the history of the name.

Since I mostly sat at the computer or cleaned, without walking much, I just did a very fast 3,000 step march around here. I needed to move and get my heart beat up. While still pathetic for me I have now done the recommended 10,000 steps for the day.

Watching Agatha Christie’s Crooked House. Good cast, lackluster direction.

Well, I was FINALLY able to create a new login and password for my credit card and log into my online account. Halle-frekin'-looya!! I also found that all the fraudulent cash advances and fees have been reversed, so I won't have to pay those! AND I was able to make a payment on the legitimate stuff that I still do owe.

bk · « **Reply #114 on:** February 21, 2018, 08:48:35 PM »

Page four? Really?

George · « **Reply #115 on:** February 21, 2018, 09:01:19 PM »

I called the credit card company and had got some very helpful help from a woman and as of right now, things look good...not perfect, however. The balance that currently shows in the online account is about one third of what it should be! $:-\$ I should owe a lot more than what shows!

George · « **Reply #116 on:** February 21, 2018, 09:03:01 PM »

I was able to download my January statement before all the fraud sh*t happened, and that shows the correct amount that I owe and the correct minimum payment due. I paid about twice that, just to make sure.

George · « **Reply #117 on:** February 21, 2018, 09:03:15 PM »

Also, the helpful woman did confirm that even though a payment was due by February 9, because the fraud sh*t was happening, I won't get any late charges for making the legitimate payment now. Whew!!

George · « **Reply #118 on:** February 21, 2018, 09:03:39 PM »

Now, I just have a little more paperwork to fill out and get to them, and it should all be resolved! Hopefully!!

And since we're finally so close...
