davidrmoran : No need to send billing, it's the amount that caught my attention!
Tuned into Eagle - Cowboy game . Eagles up 21 - 0 . Tuned TV elsewhere, only to find out Cowboys came back to win by 3 , 24-21
Anyone think their favorite team will win the Super Bowl?
@rforno As YBB I use Schwab & local bank to transfer money both in & out. I use Schwab as my bill pay.
Do you feel your local bank is more secure for paying bills.
It seems to me the ship was having (problems) before the lose of power. So who , why , or what decided to send the tugs back to port before clearing the bridge? Hindsight for sure.
From what I saw on TV report. A small circuit board, 3 by 3 had a wire going to it that simply came apart from it's intended contact point. Maybe it never was fully pressed unto contact point.
Tuned in after half, if not a blow out then ,one now 31-9 6minute mark 3/rd Qter.
Chatter at Fitness center : Eagles vs Lions. talk about defense Qback ratings , 60 & 64 !!
Bears in first place, but they haven't played a winning team yet!

@msf Pilfered from Schwab:
QCDs and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act
While the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) didn't change QCD rules, the law impacts the deductibility of charitable donations in 2026. Here's how the OBBBA will affect charitab…
@msf thanks again for all the added info.
It appears I forgot to post my last comment to this discussion.
Tax consideration comes into play here or is my info bad again. Appears one has to "itemize" to take advantage of reducing income from RMD's…
@msf It seems to me that before Charles arrived with Premium , MFO took donations with a certain % tax deductible. I wasn't asking about tax deduction for membership to Premium. More to the point about a QCD to MFO being a part of RMD reduction be …
@David_Snowball & @Charles YBB said I should contact you on a question about MFO being qualified to receive a QCD. See my post from above.

@DrVenture Tell you're wife to take more clothes than what she needs as you can 't add a layer if one didn't bring them. Best deal, hope she's sitting in a box seat!!
Packers 13 1/2 pt favorite & lose on last second field goal! i didn't see most of the contest, so can't complain to much. One play did catch my attention. Love threw a beautiful pass into the end zone , only to see it was at the opponent, who d…
@larryB + 1 @Old_Joe Thanks for the print.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are the early favorites to win the 2026 World Series, with odds around
+350 to +375.
I find that hard to believe, Ha Ha
Did anyone catch announcers comment about Dodgers record for World Series games won while trailing in the 8/th inning? 2 & 65 (?) now 3 & 65. I believe they have played in 25 W S's. Average 6.2 games played in W. S. Trivia question!

@bee: Take a look at FISMX. Similar country allocations to VINEX. Better 5-year performance and about the same 3-year performance. VINEX has better performance over the past 3-years.
Anyone taking a buy approach of the thr…
