can't see the forest for the trees!!
duh... don't know why I did not think of a 7 seg LED display!!
I can even just use one digit and briefly display each digit of the total.
For some reason I was stuck on LCD (and the associated difficulty of finding and interfacing to the pic with a non 44780 hitachi controller.) I know it would be easy to interface a 2x16 LCD or what ever but that is overkill and drives up the cost.
THANKS! for opening up my eyes. Mabie it was actually "Tunnel Vision" that I had, or a "one track mind".
Still open to other ideas and suggestions, but now I can start on the code. 
this place is the greatest!!

These PIC's are like intricate puzzles just waiting for one to discover their secrets and MASTER their capabilities.
