Tips and Information on...everything!
Question from Rodney: I’ve been reading your blogs for a long time now Rick, and I’ve noticed that you write about just about everything.
But one thing I’ve never seen you write about is politics. Why is that?
I love your perspective on so many topics and I’m sure you could make some great arguments about our country’s politicians.
I don’t know, maybe you’re just not a political kind of person. But I’d be surprised if that’s the case.

Question from Glenn: I love “Buffalo Wings” and I eat a mess of them at least once a week.
The other day I was eating some wings and I got to wondering why they’re called “Buffalo Wings” instead of “Chicken Wings” since that’s what they really are.
Do you know the answer? I’m just curious. LOL

Question from Melissa: I bought a new car back in 2014 and it’s been insured by the same company all this time.
I know my car has depreciated quite a bit over the years but my insurance premiums are higher now than they were when the car was brand new.
That makes no sense to me.
It seems like the premiums should decrease along with the value of the car since the insurance company would have to pay out less as the car gets older.
Why didn’t my premium go down along with the value of the car?

Question from Evelyn: I’m hoping you can help settle a disagreement I’m having with one of my co-workers.
She’s claiming that over a million gallons of water goes over Niagara Falls every day.
That seems like an awful lot of water to me. I’m thinking it’s probably somewhere in the thousands.
Can you tell me how many gallons of water flow over Niagara Falls in one day?

Question from Carol: My mom is 75 years old and she’s worried about my brother and me having to pay her burial expenses after she dies.
We’ve told her that she doesn’t have to worry about that but she insists on getting insurance to cover her burial expenses.
I keep seeing ads on TV that say Colonial Penn will sell life insurance to anybody for just $9.95 per month, even if they’re as old as 85.
They also state that your premium will never go up. It’ll always stay at $9.95 per month.
How can they do that? If it’s true that sounds like something we could get for her. But I’m leery because it sounds like it has to be a scam.
