Banks and Brokers Need Review

Lately, I have been doing a lot of reserach on the fees that both the banks and the brokers charge. There is a tremendous difference with each broker. The biggest bargains are trading online. For example, Scott Trade only charges $7 per trade, and if they do the trade, $27. Contrast that with Wells Fargo. They want nearly $200 for each trade depending on the broker that you talk with. It pays to take the time to find out the facts before you select the firms you use. Also, banks have recently added extra fees for small checking accounts. Fancy Nancy Says: Do your homework before you select your bank and your broker. You will save money!

Fun Class In Writing

Today we had a nice group for my other writing class held at the Park in Naples. There was a lively discussion and everyone enjoyed sharing his writing. I was lucky to get a dentist apt. since I had lost a filling. I find that I am connected to more than one dentist, since dental offices are often too busy to take you .You have a better chance if you are a patient at several offices. Fancy Nancy Says: We all need two of everything. If you lose something or one thing does not work, then you have an immediate replacement.

Final Spanish Class

Today was my last Spanish class for this season. The teacher is excellent. I find it easier to read the language than to speak it. I do enjoy learning. In class the teacher uses the first part of class to teach. Then she has all the students interacting with each other to practice. This part is tough for me. When all the students are speaking at the same time, my hearing implant picks up all the conflicting sounds. I often skip the second part of class for this reason. Fancy Nancy Says: Do the best you can with learning. Whatever you pick us is a bonus!

Fancy Nancy Has A Scary Day

Today, my wonderful car decided to lock me inside. I was really scared since the horn kept blasting and the car must have thought that I was breaking in. Finally, a neighbor told me to start the car with the key, and it released and allowed me to open the door. I was very upset, so now I think it is time to look into a cell phone. I do not hear well on them, but I will try to find one that I can text on it. Fancy Nancy Says: You never know what a new day will bring.

A Wonderful Breakfast Overlooking the Gulf of Mexico

I recently discovered a nearby hotel with a dining room that overlooks the Gulf of Mexico. I have a lovely neighbor , so the two of us went and enjoyed the beautiful scene. She also has had back problems and she suggested I get a heating pad with moist heat. Marty got one today at Walamart and I will try it to see if it helps. Fancy Nancy Says: You can always learn something new if you open your ears and listen1

One Day At A Time

Last week I pulled my back and it is still healing. I find that you have to give your body healing time. I did some errands today and Marty helped me carry in the groceries. I need some new body parts. Any suggestions where we can get them? One day at a time!

Fancy Nancy Says: Listen to your body, your body wins!

A Fun Last Class

Today one of my classes ended for the season. I really enjoyed the two ladies that I taught in class. I will be working with one until I leave on a barter system. She is teaching me trading online , and I am helping her write a book. It is so nice to see her progress.

Fancy Nancy Says: Your are lucky when you enjoy your work. Why not!
