    folding chair - $35.00

    I purchased one with the side table, 35 inches tall 25 inches wide, but 7.5 inches thick when folded. These are too heavy to be aluminum, my guess is steel. They seem well made, but here's the problem with that statement. I have mine for two days and it's Walmart - Ozark. But maybe Walmart is...

    folding chair - $35.00

    Straight from the start I need to say I'm not particularly impressed with the quality of Walmart brand camping and sporting goods (Ozark). But yesterday I was in Walmart and saw a folding chair that seems to be very well built for $34.97. In addition to being wide enough for my small dog to get...

    You're of course right, you have to be near a Walmart for the opportunity of waiting in line at the customer service desk. It's not clear to me if this was just the one Walmart or all. Fortunately for me I don't need to spend this money for nearly another two months, so when ever I go to a...

    Update... For those that are considering a pre-paid debit. I applied and received the American Express BlueBird card at no expense or fees to me. I did this on line, because if you go to Walmart there's a charge. The card came in about 6 business days, 8 days of you count the weekend. I've...

    no good reason

    I know what you mean B and C. Maybe this should have been posted in "Hobbies." I like the LPs, and tube amps but not willing to that far. And I wouldn't trade LPs for "Poweramp" Mp3 player app on my phone, even with a set of inexpensive Sony (over-the-ear) headphones the sound is stunning. With...

    no good reason

    There is no good reason to have a 12 volt record player. Records (LPs) are heavy, they take up a lot of space and they can be damaged in the heat.  When you consider how many MP3s you can fit on a tiny micro SD card there seems no reason to own a vinyl record. This is what I thought until my...

    Prescription Drugs

    If anyone as ever looked at you a bit strange because you go to Mexico for your prescription drugs, you may want to read or listen to this article on the People's Pharmacy. I've checked (because of this story) at at least one of my U.S. mail order drugs is produced in India. It does not appear...

    I can log into the BlueBird website to check balance, including from the web browser on my phone. But this isn't for everyday high use or lot of transactions. It's pretty straight forward. I know what my meds should cost every three months. I know how much I put on the card. Done. I could run a...

    Update... I have learned that pre-paid debit cards are a dirty solution to a dirty problem. I have ordered and received a American Express BlueBird card at no cost. You can add money at any Walmart location with no fee if it's in cash at a register. You can withdrawal money at any MoneyPass...

    Thanks WanderingRose, "be better informed about upcoming prescription charges" that's part of the problem, nothing about my prescriptions has changed, in fact it hasn't changed in years, and you can phone and email - even chat, but it won't help you with prices or changes. The company is simply...

    I'm sure you're very happy with this feature, neither of my two banks offer, or even heard of such product. But thank you for bring it up. I'd be happy too, and my problem would be solved.

    Is AARP Worth It?

    I checked into ReadyCard; for what I want to do, the fees are much too high. BlueBird monthly fee: $0.00, ATM Withdrawal $0.00 (at MoneyPass ATM) Load cash $0.00 (at Walmart) ReadyCard monthly: $4.95, ATM Withdrawal $1.95 (plus third-party fees) Load cash $1.00 I'm sure ReadyCard is more...

    Stargazer, thanks. I have spent countless hours on the phone with the company, and this doesn't count emails and chat sessions. I don't get to use any kind of form. They also won't allow me to pay by check. They only want the doctor to transmit prescription electronically. They have, on...

    All great thoughts, but,,, first I don't drive due to a disability, so mail order is the best option. It's that or get my wife to drive or a bus. Second, when I did change I was told I wouldn't be allowed to do mail order with another pharmacy, because we have our own mail order pharmacy. Third...

    I talked to the credit card company and they don't have any kind of "authorized charge only" system. They where truly at a loss at how to control this. Even saying the pharmacy could place a charge on the card that could go above your credit card limit. They went on to say I have good credit and...

    I've never used "automatic refill" - the pharmacy just doesn't have that level of competence.But thanks for the thought.
