HNL Bill, Thought my first activity in retirement would be evaluating LTC policies... or not:) THANKS

Thanks Senator, No more go-arounds for me... Life really is just too short isn't it? Hopefully the main chute holds air for a long ride and if not I have the "discount" emergency chute I can pull. Not as comfortable a ride, but will stop the broken bones. It will work one way or another. :)

Thanks Chuckanut!

Thanks Chris... Likely the best strategy for happiness in ER that I have heard!

Thanks for sharing Travelover!

Thanks we love it here...

Thanks for the vote of confidence.
