Finished #5 of 8 limited series called "The Gentlemen" on Netflix. Very good. Quirky drama action. And it's British!

Anyone here have Punctal Plugs inserted for dry eyes? Did they help? I checked the Medicare website and found no mention of whether they are covered.

Can the Eufy or Wyze camera be accessed from more than one smart phone?

Anybody here use Systane or similar eyedrops? The other day I was comparing different drops at Walmart. The price per ounce is annotated on the display. Most run between $38 and $45 per ounce. For basically saline solution!

OP here. Thanks everyone for so many replies and suggestions. Your inputs are really valuable to me. My sisters and I are now almost 3 months in to our monthly rotation. Our goal is to figure out a way for DM to make a decision to move in with one of us or an assisted living facility. We just...

I'm sure many of you have experienced a scenario where an elderly parent has some type of medical emergency that triggers the inevitable conversation of living alone versus moving in with family or a facility. My DM is approaching 90 and has lived alone for 10+ years since dad passed. And she...

So I downloaded the USAA SafePilot app and went for my first drive. They give you a 14-day grace period before stuff really counts. The app appears to track your use of cell phone and hard braking, nothing else that I can see. I drove 3 legs totaling about 20 miles. I can proudly report that no...

Thanks for the replies. I will give it a try.

Anybody sign up for the USAA SafePilot program for auto insurance? It appears to be a phone app that tracks your driving habits.

Can't imagine going back to a flying job. So much memorization of regulations, aircraft procedures, etc. My brain is a little mushy and probably not capable.

You got that right, like 3 hours 20 minutes. We broke it up on two nights. We really enjoyed it, great acting all around.

What a timely post. I just opened this EarlyRetirement website and first got a message filling the entire screen that said something like "Please stand by while we verify you are a human." After about 4 seconds, the forum opened. I have not see such a message before. Is this a new feature? And...

I rented a Honda Accord last summer for a month. The odometer read 45K miles and the check engine light came on after a few days. I was nowhere near a rental agency to swap, so I called Enterprise and they said "don't worry about it, should be fine." So I drove it for another three weeks with no...

If I were building a new home, it would include a solar system like the Tesla solar roof with power walls. Electricity costs will almost certainly go up every year. Right now there is a good tax incentive in place and, depending on where you live, much of your energy costs (including EV power)...

Great ideas. Thanks for the feedback. I just may head there in April.
