Comment on our house
So a few weeks ago we got this letter in the mail. If you can’t read it, it says “Dear Mr. Miller, I love the work you had done in your house and I’m hoping you can tell me who did it for you. I’m particularly interested in the siding which is really elegant. Thank…

Update links
Been awhile since I posted, so I thought I would let you know what was going on. Actually, I’ll have Carolyn let you know what is going on, since she blogged about it and I am just going to shamelessly link to her writeups 🙂 First, we had a new driveway installed – see Part…

Dan 1, Feature Films for Families 0
Got a letter back from Feature Films for Families. Although they did not send me any money, that is fine – they’re not required to at this point. But if they call any time in the next 10 years, they are miiiiiiine. As Doug pointed out, now I am on their “you really really don’t…

Strike one in my telemarketer battle
Strike 1 for me in my quest to get rich suing telemarketers. With the due date of 2/27 for my demand letter sent to Donna Bauer (the Note Buyer) rapidly approaching, we got an overnighted Fed Ex, dated 2/25. I actually got it while I was out on my Every County in Alabama trip, but…

Exploiting inefficiencies in the secondary BTFE market, part 2
So, back in November of last year, I wrote a post about buying up Box Tops for Education (BTFE) from eBay and then reselling them. Back then I bought a coupon for 1000 BTFE for $81 and was attempting to sell it for $119.99. I tried 2 auctions back in November and did not sell…

I gave her the ol’ blood pressure arm switcheroo!
So two things to mention today. First of all early this morning I had a health examination by a nurse? for a life insurance policy. We are getting life insurance policies so we can both bump each other off and roll in the proceeds. So, she’s asking me lots of health-related questions as well as…

License Plate Scavenger Hunt
So back last summer when we made our trip to the Groesbeck reunion in North Carolina, one of the things I came up with was a license plate scavenger hunt to occupy some time in the car. Of course I am not the first person to come up with this idea, but Dan’s First Law…

I demanded a new apostle song, and they delivered!
So, as you may remember, back in December when Joseph B. Wirthlin died, I posted a “demand” for a new apostle song. I was actually surprised that more Mormon-themed blogs did not at least mention the fact that a new apostle song was needed. But in any case, this afternoon I got a comment on…
