DYK Sorry to hear about your fridge, Deb?

DYK Sounds like the norm to not inherit the sales receipts along with the appliances?

DYK We left our old fridge at the last house and I doubt I could even have found the sales receipt for it?

dyk the people we got our house from were great about paperwork


dyk they had a whole folder of stuff for the various things that had been done


dyk warranties were long gone, but work orders and receipts were there


dyk projects were done years and years prior, but at least we know which companies did which work


dyk and the all important manuals for the various appliances, with purchase dates noted, were in the folder, so all was good


dyk I'm getting much better about dating my manuals


dyk now if I could just get motivated to file things on a regular basis, in one location, I might make some progress


dyk although it doesn't help that Mark started his own filing system independent of mine for some unknown reason


dyk and since we think totally differently on things like that, merging them would be a nightmare


dyk I guess as long

DYK Decisions, decisions?

DYK Bruce & I found out just a few days ago that our trip to NYC next March with the band was not actually canceled?

DYK We knew we probably could not get the several hundred $$ that we had invested into the trip back, but we have not been making any monthly payments since before school ended last year?

DYK So we got this note that gives us a deadline and tells us what we owe to bring us up to date?

DYK Bruce called the lady in charge of this last night to find out if there was any way to get the money we invested back and of course, that money is already gone to the travel agency?

DYK Can't really complain about that...we were told there was a deadline after which we couldn't cancel and still get a refund?

DYK So, the dilemma now is...do we bite the bullet and go ahead with the trip, since Maegan is doing very well in school so far this year?

DYK Grades are as follows, Science 91.75%, English 100.7%, Social Studies 90%...and Math we should find out about today?

DYK But Maegan thinks it will be a low A or high B?

DYK Going ahead with the trip makes me nervous since it will cost a great deal of money, but on the other hand, I don't want to lose the money we have invested?

DYK What do you ladies think?

DYK We have until next Tuesday to either make the payment to bring us up to date, or tell them that we are canceling and lose the money invested?

DYK I am so torn...I hate to be on the hook for all this money, but there may not be another band trip to equal this one while Maegan is still in high school?

DYK Maegan really does seem to have it all together so far this year...I'm very proud of her for her hard work both in her academics and band?

DYK I keep waiting for a break in the rain to run some errands.


DYK it wasn't raining when I went to the gym, but as soon as I got back home it started pouring.


DYK at least I got in a workout.

dyk ugh, Rebekah...I don't have any good advice for the band trip.


dyk we're kind of in the same pickle with our Disneyland trip, but we have the option of making a last minute decision.


dyk that makes it a smidge easier.


dyk you have a lot of money at stake...I just hope that if you decide to go and fork over all the money, Maegan doesn't start letting everything slip.

DYK that is a tough one Rebekah?


DYK if it were me, I would do it for the simple fact that your daughter's grades are *awesome*, and you had been struggling with that issue so much, that you would hate to take that trip away from her when she is finally doing so well?
