Your grandkids are probably older then 6 though right? They do for 6 and under. Just wouldn’t want my 8 yo granddaughter ending up in a middle seat between strangers. Every flight we have been on this year has been full. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do today's kids even know how to write checks? Some schools don't even teach cursive now, so if they do write a check, how do they sign their name? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some schools don't even teach cursive now, so if they do write a check, how do they sign their name? We met with our (now 28 year old) daughter's first grade teacher for a parent teacher conference way back when and were worried about her handwriting. It was terrible. Her teacher told us not to worry. She'd survive just fine and handwriting wasn't going to be needed in the future! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sets them up for March Madness, the baseball playoffs, etc. While at Lakeside he set up a shuffleboard tournament. He picked me as his teammate. He did not know it but his uncle ordered trophies for the winners. He was so excited when we won and we got trophies 🏆! Sounds like lots of fun. I always enjoy playing shuffleboard. Enjoy family time to the fullest💞 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you majority of first time homebuyers have no clue what a cancelled check. We always had to get a copy of front and back of their earnest deposit mo ey checks. So we gave up asking for copy of cancelled check and would ask for copy of bank printout showing the check cleared their bank acct. Our son, Chris, recently told us he doesn't even have checks with his bank acct. Edited August 12, 2023 by Sunshine3601 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well teach them to live off of credit early. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenquixote66 Posted August 12, 2023 #100566 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Yesterday I received a letter from my secondary health insurance carrier stating that they received a $3800.00 claim from a surgical supplier for me but could not identify the provider .I have not needed surgical supplies in several years.I contacted Medicare ,the primary carrier and they paid the company nearly $6000.00 for dates in May and June.I asked to be connected to their Frauds Department .They said they will investigate but could not tell me how long it will take.I said it is likely that this company will continue to bill on a monthly basis and asked that they put a notation in their computer.I was told that they do not do that and will continue to pay until the investigation is completed .How long will it take,he had no idea. I then looked up the company on line.It is located in Brooklyn,NY.There are hundreds of posts from people stating claims were fraudently paid .People living all over the USA were reporting this .I am going to call my secondary carrier on Monday .Hopefully they will have a better system. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
