Re: answering will dare

only she and her husband
would think that this was a vacation paradise although my father would
really enjoy that) and return to find a gazillion
catalogs and unpaid bills. The worst was a debt collection notice from
her damned insurance company because she supposedly failed to pay their
last bill. Since when I wondered do they send out such things. I thought
they just let you lapse. The thing she said was she paid up through the
policy period then
transferred to the SAME insurance company in her new location and the
idiots could not figure this out. Now she gets to go thru the hassle of
clearing up this nonsense.
Our other mutual friend wrote to me about a home redo. We both laughed at
her chirpy little letter. I couldn't figure out why she was writing to us
about that . I guess I was
really blunt, but also, I gotta admit, right on target.
My friend still says that In case I am an interested - (she knows this is a
long shot) - but, just in
case! If I need curtains, shades, etc., i.e., window treatments,
she tells me JCPenney online is probably one of the best and most economical
places
to get nice stuff without spending a fortune.
She went to Richmond to pick up her Mom. She drove her
back to Pittsburgh for a two-week visit - it was her first time , and they
had a lot of fun she later reported, but then they got into some silly
family tiff that is so mino
She still wants to know if I want some help around the house - she is
pretty handy
with a drill when it comes to putting up shades, curtains, etc.
