I agree, when they are off to the side they really don't bother me but if they are in my face and flashing then I get annoyed. We will let them run for a couple of months and see how things go and then re-evaluate them to see it is worth it for us.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-28384663697707940872019-05-09T20:11:39.844-04:002019-05-09T20:11:39.844-04:00I'm glad I don't let little things like th...I'm glad I don't let little things like this bother me.<br /><br />Fussity is a word?Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-62670326144890375082019-05-09T20:07:10.567-04:002019-05-09T20:07:10.567-04:00As soon as I know that I need a rental, I book rig...As soon as I know that I need a rental, I book right away at the best price I can find that day. Then, I use the alert system at autoslash.com that tells you if there is a price drop. But, you also have to check yourself regularly. I don't trust the alert system, although it did let me know of a couple of price drops.

It's how the brain functions and how it reacts at the moment you are writing. <br /><br />You can even check your work several times and still not see the mistakes.

Thanks for putting up with your fussity readers...like me. Reading the newspaper can sometimes be an invitation to join the loony bin, because of little slipups like these.
