RE: Robotic Rug Cleaner on Vinyl Floor
I have one. It will clean carpet and all floors. It takes a long time though and may not clean all the spots. I gave up on mine and went back to vacume and broom

RE: Kenmore Oven Beeps "F2"
Try going to the mfgr's website and find the model no of the product. Many mfgrs' website has owner's manuals in pdf file (you will need Adobe to read the file, and you can get free download on Adobe's website), then you can just look under "trouble-shoot" to see why your oven is giving you that message

good luck

RE: Power of Attorney Responsibilities
Carole (the guest posting) may have something other than a POA for her brother, such as joint ownership or as co-signor for the specific debt/mtg. As Susan stated, POA gives the person the ability to manage the account should something happens to you. If you die, the money in the accounts may be use to pay off your debts, but if there isn't enough he/she will not be responsible for the deficit

RE: Trick or Treat Gifts Instead of Candy
Try Oriental Trading. You can get lots different of trickets in bulk for next to nothing. I'm pretty sure they have a website too

RE: Picking up the Tab at Lunch
The fact that you arrange to have a get together doesn't mean that you should or have to pay; I'm sure your daughters love to get together but just got use to you making all the plans (so they don't have to)

I've being treating my parents for dinners for thirty years - I make money and I don't see why they always have to treat. Plus they make holiday and birthday parties where there are always lots of food. It is time your daughters pay for their own food!

RE: Uses for Plastic Trash Bins
I buy cat litter in these buckets, and I use them to store items such as: handbags, toys, out-of-season beddings and clothing (make sure you use moth balls or cedar chips)

For smaller cans, you can use them as buckets, leave cleaning solutions in them so you can carry all your cleaning supplies. For the square/oblong ones, you can use them to hold magazines, papers. You can paint or decorate them so they just look like regular storage bins, then you can just put them on any shelf

RE: Movers Stealing Belongings
Per tax law, you need to claim the loss on the returns for that year. For example. if the loss happened 2005, then you claim the loss on the 2005 returns, which are due April 15, 2006 unless you'd filed extensions.

If you filed a report with the police in the year of loss, your daughter can file amended returns (with both irs and nys) within 3 years from the date filing; since these forms are rather complicated, you should get an tax accountant to do them, so you need to determine if the expected refunds will be greater than the tax preparation fees

If you didn't reported it to the police in the year of the loss, there may be lots of questions as to why you waited, both by the police and by the IRS, and if you don't want to deal with the headache I would suggest that you forget about it and move on

You can go to irs.gov to do your own reserach; the rules are similar for NYS, but if you want to make sure NYS tax website address is www.tax.state.ny.us

RE: Getting Started Saving Money
I don't know Dave Ramsey, but when I Googled the name there were both good and bad reviews.

There are lots of good ideas posted, some of which I may try out. Yet, there is no "One Size Fits All" when it comes to saving money. In case you want to do some research, I suggest "Money" magazine. It gives lots of simple ideas for every day folks like me (I tried others but they seem to gear their ideas towards wealthy people) You can get it on line at money.cnn.com or get copies from your local library. It is always best to read/get opinions from more than one source, anyway

p.s. we are comfortable enough financially that my husband retired at 55, and I'll follow as soon as I reach 55, made possible by educating ourselves to make good financial decisions and investments.
