<<Did you go fishing today?>> I'm not in my winter mode yet. Fishing would be brrr cold. Might warm a little next week. <<I will be glad when Home Depot and Sears go on-line. >> Years ago, Sue got a Sears credit card and bought some things before Christmas. We had moved and gave them our new address. Didn't get a bill and we forgot about it over time. In April I get a call from Sears about being sued for non payment. Sears had goofed and put us as moving from where we lived to where we had lived. I asked how much and sent it that day. The next month I get a bill for $20 in interest. Odd as I sent the balance instantly. I called. They got the check but DIDN"T GET IT ENTERED. I sent them the $20. The next month I get a bill for $1.20. Called, the same story. I went to the credit bureau and bought a report. I was listed as delinquent. I sent them $2 and never heard from them again. We used to spend $1,500 a year at Sears but not a dime in the last 14 years. I hope they're happy with the $22 they screwed me for. <<We got a cleaner for wood. Unfortunately, the cleaner strips off finish. >> YES, what did you use, please?
