What should I use,
Electric or propane.
Do you have a choice in your RV? If so, you will want to know how to save money on the energy you use.

Chart by Ted Sprague
After you spot the amount you are charged for electric, then the propane per gallon will show the equivalent. If your gal charge is higher use electric, if lower then use propane.

Doing on line Banking?
According to recently reported information, here is the safest way to protect your money. Have a second computer just for banking, buying and selling stock. Make sure it has been formatted and has a fresh copy of the operating system you are using, a firewall, anti-virus and an anti-spyware or anti-malware program.  On this computer, do not go to any other sites except the one you are using for the bank and stock transactions. In this computer, never use someone else's flash drive or CD or any you have used elsewhere and do not answer, send or receive Emails. Back up on CD's or drives that have not been used in other computers. Keep your firewall, antivirus and malware programs updated and do a scan as often as possible.

The other computer is for everything else. Remember you should keep this computer protected also.

Soon you'll be able to text 911 on your cell phone. The hearing-impaired and the younger generation will love it, plus it will work with a weak signal where you can't get a voice message through.

Put your car keys beside your bed at night.
Put your car keys beside your bed at night. If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies. This works well if any kind of emergency occurs and you need to get someone's attention.

Three important questions to ask your doctor when they are making a diagnosis. Get the doctor thinking about other possibilities.
1. "What else could it be?"
2. "Could two things be going on to explain my 
     symptoms?"       
3. "Is there anything in my history, physical exams, laboratory findings, or other test that seem not to fit with your working diagnosis?"
