    Older Texans, but < 75 Y.O.A. - Change in Jury Duty law

    Ah well, that's just your opinion. You seemed to have missed my personal concern.

    should we go to ER ?

    Far be it from me to chase anyone to a doctor, much less ER... but... If you are concerned about your wife's situation (and you are!), I'd go to an ER that is connected to a good hospital that has many services. "Connected" as in right there. Not a stand-alone across town. If the ER decides...

    Older Texans, but < 75 Y.O.A. - Change in Jury Duty law

    Well, personally, I do. And Texas is one of the most unhealthy states in the nation. As far as traffic and insane drivers, we're shooting for number 1! Yeah, shooting too. Road Rage is rampant.

    Older Texans, but < 75 Y.O.A. - Change in Jury Duty law

    In Texas, a job can not be used as an excuse. The employer is not required to pay the employee for time off for jury duty.

    Older Texans, but < 75 Y.O.A. - Change in Jury Duty law

    If in Texas, over 70 was still optional, I would agree. But they now made up to 75 mandatory. So I don't agree. Degrees of mobility, access, stress, is a don't care. I suspect, but of course I do not know, that there is a higher percentage of responding to summons among the elderly when its...

    Medicare Part D changes for 2024

    So did I! In the name of increasing profits, did they all agree to "faggedaboutit"? I looked in the 2024 Wellcare Value Script ANC. For Coverage Gap and Catastrophic Coverage Stages, it says to look at Chapter 4, Sections 6 and 7, in the Evidence of Coverage. On the website. But the E of C they...

    Older Texans, but < 75 Y.O.A. - Change in Jury Duty law

    Reading the law yesterday, you are back in the prospective pool, as no mention was made of previous decisions a person may have made. In reality, it probably depends on how faithful your county election department works, whether in time they go through the opted-out list and cancel the opt-outs...

    Older Texans, but < 75 Y.O.A. - Change in Jury Duty law

    But that was your sister's choice to go. For all the "freedom, freedom" I hear expressed in TX, our state legislature continues to turn the screws on people, counties, and municipalities. Well, I ain't feelin' the freedom now. It is a long harrowing drive to the courthouse for me. Driving a...

    Older Texans, but < 75 Y.O.A. - Change in Jury Duty law

    Unfortunately, no. Only a letter from a doctor saying the person is incapable. I see the UK rule was an upper limit to participate, different than the Texas "you-will-participate" but opt-out if desired at 70 (now increased to 75). The TX has the same text as before, just the 70 crossed out and...

    Possible EV charging Site

    Lots of things to investigate. Does the feed to the meter unit, and the transformer feeding it, have the capability of the increased current required? Probably not. Zoning - Sounds commercial, or at least neighborhood services or something like that. And can it be combined with a residence(s)...

    Older Texans, but < 75 Y.O.A. - Change in Jury Duty law

    Hidden away, nobody noticed, was a law change in the 2023 Texas Legislative session. Just found out about it today, thanks to a lawyer who writes a column for the Sunday senior page in the local big-city newspaper. Heard zero about it before. Effective 9/1/23, the exemption choice from Jury...

    Medicare Part D changes for 2024

    In my post, I mentioned that I called the customer line at Wellcare, to verify that the $.50/mo. for 2024 was NOT a misprint. That was one of the first things I did after receiving the ANC in the mail, as it seemed doubtful. It's not a mistake.

    All Season Tire Recommendation for Half Ton Pickup

    Michelin Defender LTX M/S. Don't know if they are available in the size you need. Never had any issues with the Michelin LTX (later called Defender LTX) M/S tires.

    Your recent repair? - 2021 to ?

    Yeah, that's probably alright. Using the zoom on the unobtainable part's pic, the part crimped onto the orange wire looks like a diode, it has polarization markings on it, so your guess on power reduction is probably correct. Wire nuts or insulated crimp, whichever. A half-step you might want...
