I called Lowe's in Palmyra yesterday. The manager on duty confirmed the procedure of copying the Discover card with a pencil if purchases are over $100. I was told the store must keep the copy of my credit card on file for 3 years. "Three years! Who has access to it?" Only the sytem administrator or some-title like that. Sheesh! That manager, Tony, is supposed to call me back as to why other stores aren't implementing the same procedure. I told him that the Easton store did not appear to know anything about it. He said he assumed it was corporate wide but it might have to do with the fact that the Palmyra store is brand new; it just opened within the past four weeks.

NOTE TO SELF: when you see "Susquehanna TV" on your credit card statement that is a charge from the tru-value hardware store on Rt 873 in Neffs. (go figure)

Our friend Nate was over for dinner last night. We grilled crab stuffed salmon and corn on the cob. Can you say YUMMY? We talked about chickens. I think we are going to have chickens in the spring. We will have our own brown eggs once they start laying and our own meat. Along with the garden we are planning, we should be able to reduce our grocery bill significantly next year.
