Glad things are working out for you.

Not so much a "tax" but a "service fee", like all the banks are suddenly charging...5% of ALL INCOMING money. GRRRR!

The "5%" fee has not gone into effect. The bill passed says the DOC can charge "up to 5%" as a fee. The DOC would have to create an Administrative Rule first about it and decide on the actual fee. So nothing in effect yet.

That is good news. Mine just got his TV last week. It took just a few days for it to arrive, then he had to kyte for the cables to plug it in. Yesterday he was playfully griping about the cable line up change. I told him that just because he and the other guys like to watch Spike, etc., doesn't mean the ladies in Coffee Creek do. Something for everyone. He laughed saying these channels had been there for ages, he landed just in time for them to take away the good channels and porn.
