    Who is the crazy one?

    We tended to use shorter 2 or 3 drawer file cabinets that fit under desks. Kind of a good use of what might otherwise be dead space.

    Who is the crazy one?

    Yup. Different experiences are what make the DIS interesting. My last employer had a supply closet too in the business office. But our building was two blocks long, and we were on the opposite end. So to avoid a 4 block walk every department kept supplies in their area. Plus, the business...

    Who is the crazy one?

    Everywhere I worked we use front to back files for files. We used lateral files for office supplies and working in a TV station, videotapes, not files.

    from 0% to 100% how ideal is your current home?

    98%. If it had a 3 car garage instead of a 2 car garage, it would be 100%. One car has to sit in the driveway. 1756 square foot 3 bedroom 2 bath home which we bought as our first and last house 41 years ago. It was huge for the two of us. Had two kids, it got small. Added a bedroom and half...

    Don't you feel iffy when people put letters after their name?

    It can be more important inside someone's profession than outside it. Friend from high school is a Federal Judge. Still just John to most of us outside the legal world, not Judge John. There was a lot of discussion whether Jill Biden should be referred to as Dr. Jill Biden because she has...

    Wells Fargo savings/checking promos - any opinions?

    I am very happy with Wells Fargo. I did not expect to be happy when they bought my old bank in 1996 but they have really done well for me too. And my Financial Planner moved to their Brokerage side, so it was on stop shopping for the most part. He still uses the Wells Fargo Advisors...

    Hair dryer on Wonder

    My wife and I have been cruising for 40 years. One of our favorite activities is to watch in the main dining room how many women have clearly spent time fixing their hair the first night or two. After that, especially on a Caribbean cruise with the humidity and wind, they give up because...

    What would you do? (Fun stuff)

    Interesting question. That is a very generous budget by my standards. However, not sure how generous it is given what people on the DIS say they spend on vacations.

    Does shipboard medical take HSA?

    You bring up a good point. Check your health insurance BEFORE you go. To be honest, until I went on Medicare, I had never had health insurance that would not cover me everywhere in the world. However, my private Medicare supplement does cover me outside the country. I do recall the...

    Hair dryer on Wonder

    I don't know, but over the 20 years I have been on these boards the hair dryers have been VERY controversial. Frankly, it seems that some folks use a flame thrower at home to dry their hair. But I suspect the hair dryers provided won't exceed the safe power limits on the ship.

    Wells Fargo savings/checking promos - any opinions?

    According to my ATM log in screen, I have been a customer for 60 years, since I was 7. Too late for bonuses I guess! Actually, the Savings and Loan the account was opened at was sold to a bank, and that bank was sold to Wells Fargo. But Wells Fargo considers me as having been with them from...

    What is the scariest medical symptom you ever had?

    Symptoms? No. Every concern my Doctor found turned up in routine blood work and CT scans with no symptoms. That lead to more tests which in turned out with good ends. But let's just say I have seen a lot of specialists and I am some of my Doctor's only patients with my situations. And...

    Family Tree Difficulties--When Women Didn't Matter (slight rant)

    My wife and her cousin do need to check with the Funeral Home as, at least on paper, they are still in business. Looks like they have been sold and moved to new locations over the years, but have the same name 100 years later Just not sure what records they have kept. And we may run into the...
