Colorectal cancer is also the cause Katie Couric works for. This is the website related to that:

https://secure.eifoundation.org/national/nccra/splash/

If you click the donate button you can donate to a specific one of their research areas, and one is colorectal cancer research.

I'm sorry for your loss, MsBull.

Several times recently when I hit "post message" I got a "file lock" please try again. When I tried again I get the message that I "have already posted" and sure enough I have. Should I just ignore the "file lock" and assume it really went through or should I repost each time?

Last Saturday I went car shopping and found a car I liked. I filled out the paperwork and the dealer ran my credit, etc. and took a $500 down payment. Then he let me take the car home and I don't have to go back to get title etc until tomorrow. Is this normal??? I couldn't believe he let me take the car and I don't have a single piece of paperwork saying its mine. All I have is his card. I was floored by this!

Twinkie, when I was looking for a new car a few years ago, a couple of different dealers coaxed me to take a car and keep it for a few days! The only thing I left was my old car. I think it's standard. He has your license number, right? What kind of car did you get?

When I got my car they wanted me to take it for the weekend and leave my car until i signed all the paperwork, but I did not feel comfortable with that so I wouldn't do it.

I'm amazed at how some dealers are about selling a car. Our recent purchase was done on a weekend and strictly done on our credit rating. Obviously we weren't driving around with the title of our trade-in as we just dropped in to check out a new model. I didn't finish the paperwork until Tuesday and by then we'd put a few miles on the new vehicle. Never was any doubt in our mind we were good to go and we got a good deal but it just surprises me how easy some dealers are with new cars.

Twinkie I would think the deposit check you left would be enough proof that you did not steal the car, if for some reason the dealership decided to go that route.

I didn't even leave a trade-in! My car wasn't worth trading in so I took it back to the guy I bought it from and he's going to fix it up and sell it again and split the difference with me.

Holly, I got a 2005 silver Chevy Malibu fully loaded. Its awesome! So, we have to go back tomorrow to finish up the paperwork. They do have a copy of my driver's license and all of my info from the credit app. But still! Wow!

That was pretty much how it was when we got the minivan Twinks. Heck, we hadn't even taken the check book with us when we went looking (we were buying a new car, didn't expect to do it that day though!) We went and looked, he ran our credit, we came home with the car and he followed us back to get a check.

Even more bizarre to me...we'd refi'd the house and had planned to payoff the car right then and there, which was why we didn't take the checkbook...hadn't gotten the refi check yet. When we told him that and that we'd be back within a week when we got the check, he said no prob...write me a deposit check, I'll hold onto it, and when you come payoff the car, I'll give it back...so he didn't even deposit the check. Like Mack there was no doubt in our mind we were good to go and we were back 2-3 days later with a cashiers check to payoff the car (and walked out with our deposit check) but it was shocking just how easy it was.

That's amazing, War! I can't believe how easy they make it. I'm just thrilled they do! LOL Oh, and my new/used car only has 26,000 miles on it! WooHoo!

I'm glad it's still that easy, Twinks! Congrats on the new car!!

Er, ok, wait, I'm glad it was that easy for you, lol, kinda wish it wasn't that easy for everyone!

We got the last cc paid off a few months ago. No car payments. Just bills and mortgage. For the first time in a long time, we're able to save a significant amount of money and I like it! And of course, Darren's jonesing for a new car, lol. I want him to wait a year or two. Honda is old, but it was completely rebuilt a couple years ago and runs just fine. And he's got the truck that runs great too for backup. He just wants shiny and new and big truck. Ever so often he'll stop by the dealership on his way home from work and look around and everytime he tells me I jump up and run to the window to make sure he didn't come home with something, lol. I'm just not ready to take on a car payment yet.

LOL I don't blame you, War! Now we have 2 car payments but my old car was undrivable and not ever trade-in worthy and I have to have a car so I can start looking for a job. During the summer we go down to only 1 paycheck because hubby's second job is teaching 2 nights a week at the college and they are now out for summer. So I'm gonna look for some little job to pick up the slack.

I have a few questions about Twitter. Definitely dumb questions because everyone but me seems to use it.

I'd like to subscribe to the tweets of a few people. I have no interest in writing my own tweets. Can I join twitter and not really interact with anyone, just, well, stalk(!) a few celebs?

And does everybody sign in with their own names or can I go incognito? (Why I ask that is because I don't really want friends to search for my name and "add" me or however it would work, because I really never ever have anything interesting to say.}

Yes to all your questions, Kitt. You also might want to have a look at our Twitter thread. There are people posting there who can help you out with your Twitter questions as well.

Does anybody know how to "UNspam" something you accidentally marked as spam at YAHOO mail? Last week I accidentally marked my tigerdirect.com mailing as spam, and now all my flyers go to spam. I tried moving them to inbox, but that doesn't work for the next ones that come. I looked in spam settings, but there isn't anywhere I can see that things I marked as spam are listed.

Thanks

Naja, go to the Spam folder, where the spammed message should now be, then open the message itself and above the text the "Not Spam" button appears and you can un-spam it. I think once you do that it clears the sender from your blocked spam list.

THANK YOU! I didn't realize the setting was inside the email. I kept looking at the top of the spam box itself.

For those of you legal wizards or those who work in health care or whatever:

Can I add a child onto my insurance if we don't have guardianship yet, but who is living with us, we have a caregiver's affidavit, and will be a permanent resident of our home? Guardianship takes some time.

Escapee, I think no. I believe you have to talk to your insurance carrier. Even when we adopted, they gave us a difficult time. PITA paperwork. If the child is a ward of the state or anything like that, then the child should already have state insurance. But it may differ per state. Best bet is talk to your HR person and/or insurance carrier.

In high school we lived with my grandma, and they just added us on their insurance, no issues because we were related. Hopefully it's the same here as this is my sister.

Haven't done it, but I think it should be possible or probable, Escapee, especially since she is a blood relative.
