TIPS of week 28th
This superior 10-minute video about ‘HOW TO HANDLE A TIRE BLOWOUT ON A MOTORHOME OR OTHER RV’ is a must-see. Many of these tips would even work with a regular passenger vehicle. Definitely worth watching HERE… Hitting the brakes is the worst thing you can do. Taking your foot off the accelerator is almost as dangerous. Even if you have seen it before – it’s definitely worth a repeat.

Jim Twambly of RV Travel.com relays that many Hospitals now have RV parking available for families with patients in treatment. Most have electric and water hook-ups and many have sewer hook-ups as well. This may be more common in the USA but it is nice to know. Read his Blog HERE…

April 1st is coming and with it several APRIL FOOLS DAY VIRUS’S will also surface. Bill announced there is a new one promised called ‘Conficker’. There is still nothing on Snopes.com about it but everyone should have a GOOD VIRUS PROTECTION on your computer. Whether that is the Free one that I use from AVG; or McAfee, or Norton etc. Just be sure to get one of them.

Bill also sent these TIPS ON CHEQUE WRITING from a lawyer friend who had things stolen.
***When you order cheques, only add your initials (instead of first name) and last name put on them.
***If your cheques book is stolen, offenders will not know if you sign your cheques with your initials... Or your first name, but your bank will know.
***Instead of signing a credit card, only add "PHOTO ID REQUIRED".
***Never add a complete account number anywhere on a cheque – only use the last 4-numbers. The Bank already has the full #.
***When possible, use a work phone # versus home phone; a P.O. box or work address versus home.
***Never have your SIN# printed on your cheques – write it in only if needed.

Our computer savvy friend Carol relayed this valuable info. She is most impressed with this new upgrade… “After a year of testing, Microsoft has just released Internet ‘EXPLORER 8’. It’s Free to download now to fix many problems with Internet ‘Explorer-7’ which is 3-years old, antiquated and full of bugs. There are videos to watch before and after you download it.” HERE
