I worried that the roller coaster would be too scary for her, but she insisted. To her delight, we rode it twice. The next year we returned to the Magic Kingdom, and my daughter, now eight, again dragged me to Space Mountain. As we stood in line, though, I could see her soberly studying the signs that warn about the ride's speed. "Dad," she said, "I don't think I want to go." I asked her why she would be nervous when she had enjoyed herself last time. She replied, "This year, I can read." ____________________________________________________ Blame someone else and get on with your life. --- Alan Woods Crime does not pay ... as well as politics. --- Alfred E.

I know my bank account is connected, but how do I pay my credit card bill online, without having to use a check? Candy Dear Candy Your bank might do it slightly different, but quite similarly. Go to accounts. That shoul show your checking / saving account, an also your credit card account. Hit the credit card account. That will show the balance and the option to pay the balance, or a different amount, for example the required minimum. Select the amount and hit PAY. it asks for confirmation. Hit OK. It shows Payment Sent Look for a tiny, hard to see button that says PRINT. Hit that and select the destination. You can print the receipt to paper, or to a file, depending on your choice. That is all there is to it. Quite slick! Have FUN! DearWebby | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | If you like my work,
