Thanks....she's using both answers. The homework is called "A test of genius" and with some of the other questions on it, I thought the answer to this one had to be something weird.

Ok,I wasn't sure where to put this. I was just sifting through my junk email folder and noticed a message from paypal. I think paypal anyway. It is a receipt(sp?) that I have paid $67 to some email addy I have never seen!
I'm not really sure how this could have happened. For one thing,I use a different email addy for my paypal business. I have not used paypal in over a year at least. And,I am sure that the credit card I had used is now expired.
What should I do,I guess contact paypal? Shessh,I don't have time to deal with this right now. I have to go out.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Call them- I got through to a person almost immediately when I called them the other day. there's a few options- say "fraud" and you'll get someone on the line right away. I did anyway. never hurts just to be sure, ya know?

I don't know if you saw in the scam thread or in my update- I got a scam one for Paypal too the other day. they said spcifically that if they do email you, they use your name (not a generic "dear member") and they never send links. Mine said I had to go to the link, verify my account info, or else my account would be suspended. HAHAHA No way.

Anyway, glad it worked out for you. They're pretty easy to deal with on the phone.

How long do you save important papers; like tax returns; receipts; check stubs; etc? Thank you.

I just heard on TV the other morning that you should save all tax type stuff for 6 years.

My accountant told me that one should keep their tax returns forever. (I put mine into a 9x12 envelope and then into a box.)

Reciepts, check stubs and the like (those used for your tax returns) for at least six years as Twinkie said. However, some receipts and checks should be kept along with the tax returns. Large purchases like a car etc.

I have some "tombstones**" from some of the places I worked. Am doing some decluttering, has anyone ever heard of someone who might want them or something I can do with them? Or should I just throw them away? I have enough other stuff to use as paperweights.

**Acrylic square or rectangular pieces with a copy of the bond paperwork inside.

Dipo, how about trying Freecycle.

I can't explain it well myself. But I think its explained pretty well on the main page. Maybe someone who is active in Freecycle can explain it better?

Thanks Whoami, I know about Freecycle, I just couldn't figure out if there would be a need for these.

It just drives me crazy when I hear a song that I know was in a movie but I can't think of what movie it's in. Y'all have helped me with this before, so here it goes. What movie is the song "Since I don't have you" in?

Well, I'm not familiar with the song, but I did a little Googling, and found that a song with that title was used in Grease, and American Graffiti. Am I getting close?

If not, maybe you can help remember the tone of the movie (comedy, drama, etc). Or maybe someone who actually remembers and knows will be along.

"SINCE I DON’T HAVE YOU" movie credits: "American Graffiti", "American Hot Wax", "Always on Tuesday", "Shag", "Buckaroo Bonzai", and "Lethal Weapon II".

(Lethal Weapon II played 4 songs by the Skyliners)

I have no idea where to ask this, but I need urgent help navigating Muni in San Francisco!

Is anyone familiar with any Muni routes from downtown to inside the Golden Gate Park, particularly on the east side of the park? I've tried the trip planner link from the Muni site but it's horrifically bad!

Just hoping someone here will be familiar with the area..!

What is the line you put in an invitation that you put if you don't want gifts? Something like:
No gifts please - your presence is her present!
????

Kitt, have you tried using the trip planner on the SF Muni website? It's been WAY too long since I lived in San Francisco to offer you any personalized assistance. :-)

Julieboo, You might want to say, "Your presence is the greatest gift of all." Or, you could say, "In lieu of gifts, if you should feel so moved, you may make a donation to _____" and list the guest of honor's favorite charity. You can also just put a polite, "No gifts, please" at the bottom of the invite.

It is, however, considered tacky to mention ANYTHING about gifts on a wedding invitation, so if this is a wedding invite, then cancel what I said. It's okay on wedding shower invites, though.
