    Toxic foods

    We did the same thing in 2000, and we found out that paying for a regular membership makes everything more expensive. For example, (and not considering anything else you buy, just petrol, which by habit I call it gas), let's say you buy 100 Ltrs of gas at $1.48 a Ltr. That adds up to $148...

    Had a call today at 3 pm; about our granddaughter, had o/d off fentanyl

    What do you say at a time like that? Myself, when comes to someone who had a family member OD, what I usually say is something like "They will rest in peace now. Their nightmare is over."

    If that was the case, Medicare would have to treat it as an overpayment, and they can take only 10% of your monthly benefit amount. At least in Arizona and California anyway. Unless of course they changed things in that regard, which is always possible.

    Medicare Advantage Plans

    Google says: And if that is correct, I am "dual eligible", as I have no copays for anything except for part of Medicare Part D drugs. Some OTC stuff is covered here, but was not in Eureka. For all of my meds, I pay about $150 a year. I also have no Part A Deductible, for Procedures and Hospital...

    Grown Children

    My parents dealt with Sibling Rivalry in a quite logical way. When that failed, my Dad sat my two combative older Sisters down and shut them both up. Our dog Boots was sitting between them. My Sisters were sitting there getting read the riot act over all the truly petty squabbling, and my Dad...

    Remember When Truth In Advertising Was The Law?

    I have no plans (or money) to buy any new PC gear. I was just laughing at the irony of it all.

    Medicare Advantage Plans

    Ok, ya got me there. I never had one, and thus have never been scammed by you. I was just considering the source. But I still don't need one. 🙂

    Remember When Truth In Advertising Was The Law?

    You know how when you're watching Tuber videos, they always get interrupted by stupid ads? There's one for a 16Tb USB drive that they claim is for sale for $1,000 on Amazon. I was like "Yeah, right." When you search for stuff on there, the most expensive item pop up first. So I went there and...

    Medicare Advantage Plans

    When that lady at the SSA office said that she thinks that Advantage Plans are a scam, I have steered clear of them. Maybe it's just part of the Horrible things I always hear about living in California, but I don't need them.

    It's the first week of 90° heat here. I'm staying home until October.

    What do YOU want this forum to be?

    What do I want the forum to be? A little more Privacy and Security. I know it's a default for most forum installations to be open wide for search engine bots, and that I should have remembered that before I started posting about family, friends, etc. But too late... I already did. I was looking...

    General Humor

    Patient: "Doctor, I hear whistles and bells in my head. Do you know what that is?" Doctor: "Sure. The whistles are Tinnitus. The Bells are your brain telling you should not have dropped out of School.'"

    That is not entirely accurate. I wouldn't trust what a CEO of an Oil Company has to say about the price of gas. The reality of the situation is that if anything causes the economy to flinch, even it turns out to make no real difference, they consider that a legitimate excuse to raise prices...

    Miscellaneous Internet Critter Vids and Pics

    A friend of mine in Germany pointed this video out to me. He said "I know you like wild animals and cats are only distant cousins of wild cats. But I also know you like Pink Floyd. Check this out. You'll love it..."

    I just filled up the other day and it was $3.79 a gallon. But we're back to the "Summer Blend", which they claim costs more to make so the price goes up in Spring and down in the Fall, when they start making the "Winter Blend" again. Just a few weeks ago gas was 50¢ cheaper.

    Well, the best I could do was get a piece at Walmart's Deli. My wife made great carrot cake. And red velvet cake, Boston cream pie, banana bread and a whole bunch of other yummyful things...
