My Hat Is a Hit in Newport
Today it was quite cold and I wore my Sponge Bob knitted hat to keep warm. It was a hit in Newport, R.I. Many people stopped me to say they liked my hat and one women from Texas asked if she could take my picture. I also have a bunny hat which is even warmer and that has a scarf and gloves attached. That hat is always a hit when I wear it.

BOOKS ON HEARING LOSS
I have many copies of my book HEARING LOSS AND WINNING SOLUTIONS. If anyone wants a copy it is yours, but all I would need is the postage to ship it to you. The book has good information for you and your loved ones to help them with hearing loss issues. Send me your mailing address and the price of postage and handling, $5 and the book is yours. The book sells for $15, but no charge to you since I have just some copies left to share. Let me know if you want any? Once I hear from you, I will send the mailing information. Fancy Nancy

Happy Father's Day to all the dads

Comoputers Are Frustrating
I have spent most of this week trying to get my computer to work. The store said they fixed it and put in a new program, but it still is not right.

Confusing Day with Wells Fargo Bank
I think Wells Fargo Bank needs better help. I have been waiting for a new credit card for two months and so far it has not arrived. When I go to complain they pass the buck and no one follow through. Where does the buck stop? Perhaps I should write to the President of the bank. Maybe he can get through the maze of exceuses they give to the customer.
Fancy Nancy Says: Many of the banks needs help. They forgot about the customers' needs.
