Allow me to vent...DD's helped me set up autopay for a few vendors, and to help with my new accounts, since we all went to the Bank 2 weeks ago to take Jim's name off of them. As I make my phone calls, one is to cancel my INet services, which has been costing me $175.00/month. We also went to...

Sooo....you know that hardy rosemary that I bought last Fall? Rosemary can't make it through my winters. It slowly died by the left side of my kitchen sink. I wasn't able to get to the post office and it looked pretty sad when I finally picked it up, then I let it sit potbound...it was a recipe...
