Ha - one reason we moved away from California! No state income tax in Texas!

It REALLY bothered me for the first year or two - but I did finally get used to it! After so many years of counting every penny and saving, saving, saving, to start withdrawing was hard for me. But now - it's just where I go to get my money!

That sounds like sciatica to me - it is worse in the morning and gets better during the day. I can't remember why, but that's what my doctor said.

I recently had someone recommend Homeaway.com. I've looked at it for London, and i like the filters that it lets you apply. Looks like they've got tons of properties in Rome.

I definitely agree on the Lexus front end being ugly - that was the only model I refused to look at in my crossover search. We just pulled the trigger yesterday on a Lincoln MKX. I got everything that I wanted for only a couple of thousand more than a comparably equipped Ford Edge - and I love...

Has anyone tried using the new cards yet? We haven't got ours yet, but I'm curious if the June date is really a hard date for any usage, or just marketing with Costco (since they won't take it until then).

I think that this is true if they don't find anything - the minute they find a polyp, it becomes diagnostic and you have to pay. Doesn't seem fair, somehow!

I just successfully completed mine. I used Supraprep, which was actually not as horrible as I was anticipating. I only had about a quarter of the second dose, but I still got an "Excellent prep" on my report. Propofol was great - easy out, easy wake-up! And I'm on the 10 year plan!:dance:

I know that's the theory, but I did check several times during the two month wait for an appointment - there was never an available spot. Maybe in busier airports - we're not a mega-airport in San Antonio!

It IS the US Government we're talking here......:laugh:

We just got ours. It took forever to get an appointment in San Antonio, but it was very quick to get our cards once we finally got the appointment. I don't think it took 2 weeks - I think it was less. And yes, they give you the number right away to enter into your airline account. If you have...

Has he been seeing a pain doc? They may be his best bet - they will work with you regarding meds, and other options if meds don't work. I'm working with one now for arthritis in the spine and sacroiliac - first 2 meds gave good relief, but caused issues, so I'm going to go back in to see what...

Thank you, thank you! I knew that they did this for some people, but didn't really know where to look. Yay, I get Premier for free! :dance: That helps make up for the time I wasted on the phone yesterday with H&R Block, trying to get their software installed - finally gave up and got my...

I bought trip insurance thru Costco for my parents for a cruise. It was incredibly cheap compared to other quotes I was getting. What I was told was that they charge the same amount to everyone, regardless of their age. Other insurance companies charge based on the age of the traveler. We...

I have been kicking myself for not doing a Roth conversion last year. We didn't have that much income, and it would have been a great time to do it. I won't make the same mistake this year - the last year before DH turns 59 1/2.
