This has been bugging me for several weeks now and
I think I got it right but need to be reassured and
corrected. Gee, it has been some 52 years since I
took Bookkeeping in my senior year at high school.
Received A+ all year round so I should know. LOL.

On March 28 of this year, I had to make an emergency
dental visit to have my tooth pulled. I was asked
to help prepay then.
