If you have direct deposit or direct debit with any company; electric, gas, water, telephone, etc. They have performed an account verification just like paypal. And there are plenty of stories of utilities over-debiting accounts by mistake. The biggest gotcha with paypal is that paypal may debit your account when there is a dispute with another party, valid dispute or not. And it takes a lot of time and effort to get it resolved. There are instances of scammers buying something, then making a paypal claim and the sellers account being debited. That said, I've used paypal since the beginning, probably 3-400 transactions and never had a problem with my bank account. But I'm mostly a buyer. The original paypal used a credit card for verification, the bank account verification & link came later.

I'm also a proponent of the finned oil-filled radiator electric heaters. After 6-7 years of constant repairs to my central unit I bought a couple of these radiators and couldn't be happier. One in the living/dining area, one in my bedroom, and one for downstairs (used sparingly). I close off the small bedroom and den upstairs when not in use. Been using them for over 10 years. If it gets real cold I fire up a small fan driven heat cube to add to the mix. I also keep a small kerosene heater ready should I lose power, which usually happens when I need heat the most. I have buried power cables, so usually my electric is never off more than a few hours. Rarely a full day. But modern furnaces require electric to run. Makes me wonder about the old-style steam heat radiator systems. I don't think they required electric. I often wonder how efficient they were?

welcome back

I switched to a Tracfone from T-mobile because of poor coverage in N.Georgia and other places I have travelled. But the Tracfone is getting as bad as the T-mobile was, and I'm even getting the 'emergency use only' message here at my house from time to time, and I live within walking distance of an 8,000 student college. I use my cellphone very sparingly, but I want it to be available. So I'm looking to replace Tracfone with another pay-as-you-go service in about 4months.

Miles, Do you have any data for the other common tires used on the 2nd Gens Metzler 880 Avon Venon (H) others?

yep. I ate two of them. Not as light and fluffy as Twinkies sponge cake.

Walmart just started carrying a substitute. I don't think they carried Twinkies. http://randyrick.us/img/CloudCakes.JPG

With my car that is. Coming home about 6:30pm. Fairly heavy traffic for a Saturday on GA 400 northbound just after dark. 4 lanes divided, limited access. Doing 75 in a 65 mph zone, I'm in the left lane. motorcycle comes up behind me. I'm just following the car in front and not a lot of open space anywhere. Slowly pass the car in the right lane and there's a small hole, so I flip on my blinker when I see the car in my right hand mirror and slowly start to pull into the right hand lane. Good thing I didn't switch lanes faster, cause mr ina hurry must have goosed it as soon as he saw an inch between me and the car in the right lane. I quickly stopped my lane change as I straddled the line divider. If I'd pulled over quick or not checked my mirrors again, I'd have gotten him.

You mean the local zoning ordinance requiring chimineys to be at least 60inches in diameter so Santa can get down them is a farce????

This will be like the New-Coke/Old-Coke brewha. Once Twinkies are available again people will be snapping them up. (Does anyone care about Wonder Bread?).

Just up the road in Cusseta stop for a Ranger Burger at the Four Winds Restaurant. 464 Ga Hwy 26 Cusseta, GA 31805 This is a hungry man-size burger. Bet ya can't eat 2 of them. Since I'm a 100 miles north of there, not sure what the weather is like. Kinda cool and drizzely here in Dahlonega this morning. But no rain in the forecast, overcast and 60's for temp today.

The insurance companies are instigators of this type behavior. They increase a business's insurance rate if they don't follow certain 'safety' policies, and this is one of them.

Stopped at Walmart on the way home Monday night looking for a specific kind of Christmas lights. In a display by the door was a stack of sacks Hostess Sweet Sixteen powdered donuts. I grabbed a sack of them. I thought maybe a local bakery was still making Hostess products under license. They came from Interstate Brands in Irving, TX. A quick Yahoo search turned up that is Hostess and they are closed. Guess these donuts were the last of them in the pipeline.
