When I get a private account, I set up a small 3-ring binder with the specifics and also their samples that they give me.  I also keep the statements there until the month is completely done and then I do a monthly billing only.  Once they pay, that stuff gets transferred over every few months into a 10x13 envelope and stashed towards the following year when I do taxes....it is all part of the records that I keep should I ever get audited.  I also try to keep the private MDs pretty much the same way, unless they have account specifics besides their samples, as much as I am able to.

the light is off on the porch and it's getting late, i.e. after 9 p.m.   It amazes me the # of kids .... and adults... who don't use good common sense about trick-or-treating and ignore the usual "lights on means ok to knock/ring, lights off means go away/no goodies" rules that have been around for decades. 

I'm thinking about turning on the lawn sprinkler close to the front door - but some idiots would probably just run through it.

In the past I've put the dog out on her tie-out in the front yard and that scares some away, but the people that my dog knows get by her by just petting her because she knows them.

What are your plans/recommendations?

By the way, you'd be correct on the media - I'm not into American Medial...I get my news from Europe, other foreign places, MY VENEZUELAN FAMILY (in laws)...BBC is a good one (love Christiana Amanpour).  But Chavez is a Castro Mini-Me in my thinking...and I'm being *kind* due to being on a public board....
