I don't recall seeing Mississippi Fred McDowell's name on this thread. Fred had some wonderful recordings captured by Alan Lomax for the Library of Congress during the Depression years. Fred was a source of inspiration for the Rolling Stones in their early days.

Three mentions of Kingfish Ingraham, yet no video. I'll do the honors. You guys aren't doing anything for the next hour, are you ...

There's an young Blues guitarist, raised in Mississippi. He's self-taught, and blessed with a natural feel for the Blues. His story has been on PBS and also on 60 Minutes. Kid's got some great youtube videos out there. Perhaps you've heard of Christone 'Kingfish' Ingraham. If not, google him.

Out of curiosity.....what is the relative difference in costs ?? I realize it varies by region, and by dental office. Just relatively speaking..... Are Implants twice as much as a Bridge? 5x ? More ?

I saw something about OJ on the TV. He got hurt in an accident, or, a couple of accidents. Actually, it was a whole series of accidents. I didn't think he'd pull thru after the Bear Trap thing.....

Interesting. It's never been posted early in all the years I've been collecting. Thanks TD Bank !! I have to move some money out of TD.....I was running a higher balance while waiting for the IRS hammer to drop. Now that all that's taken care of, I can transfer some local money up to Fidelity.

I get a Direct Deposit from my rich Uncle Sam on the 2nd Wednesday of each month. My local TD Bank usually holds this Deposit as 'Pending' for a day and that's no problem. I typically check in on a Wednesday afternoon to verify that the Deposit hasn't bounced for Insufficient Funds. Today I...

As a follow up question -- I got a "Transmitted Notice" in the TurboTax folder on Thursday. But I haven't received an "Accepted Notice" yet. Does the IRS not check their In-Box over the weekend ??

4.8 is a big one for that part of the state. Such a pretty area in New Jersey.

I just finished the Fed Return and E-filed today. What's with the question asking for 'Last Year's AGI' before they transmit ?? And why do they need my Driver's License Number ?? Seems a little excessive. But.....it was easy to fill out and file the Federal Return. Last year the CPA...

Thanks finnski. Those are the kind of relative numbers I saw when I looked into the HD versions. In my book, it was not worth the risk. I think it might be difficult to get off the HD plan and into 'regular' after one bad medical episode.

In round numbers, what would be the savings between a Plan G and a Plan G-HD? What kind of liability would a person be taking on with the High Deductible ? And for what kind of premium savings per month ?? The last time I looked into this......it wasn't really worth the monthly savings.

Thank you Folks. Good to know when planning.

For 2024 Tax Planning purposes, my DW is just started her Social Security claim this past January. I know that they tax my SS amount up to the 85% limit. How will they treat DW's annual amount next tax year ? Is her total amount lumped together with my total SS and taxed at 85% Or is it...

Well, I'm going to give the Eagles the benefit of doubt on this. Henley's been singing this song since 1973. It's in his natural key of G major. He knows where he needs to breathe and where to belt it out. The Eagles warm up before every show with an a cappella version of "Seven Bridges...
