Many of us are approaching (or are already enrolled in) Medicare. Several of my friends in the Houston area have advised me of the difficulty they have had finding doctors who will accept Medicare. I find this both annoying and worrisome, to say the least. I was at my PCP earlier this week...

Hello everyone. I haven't been around these parts in a while. I ER'd back in 2009, and upon doing so I left all my savings stashed in the company plan, as it is mostly stock and has done pretty well, considering. (No need to gasp and clutch your pearls; I have heard all the "you're doing it...

About a month ago we purchased a new Fleetwood Bounder 33C gasoline puller motorhome. It was sort of unexpected...we were "just looking" and suddenly we own a big toy. ;D (It's sort of like a playhouse for adults.) This is our first RV and we are like kids on Christmas morning. We've...

I have no idea whether the info in this video has been substantiated, but I intend to do more research. For the past year, my doctor has urged me to take a statin for my cholesterol which hovers around 200. I have resisted so far, and will likely continue to do so. Anyhow, I found this...

Well so lately I have been having flushed cheeks, really red patches across my cheekbones, for no apparent reason. I can wake up in the morning and look like I have a new sunburn on my face. What the heck?? I check my blood glucose; it's normal. I check my blood pressure...normal. I have...

Ugh. I finally got to the point where there are no less than 20 pairs of drugstore "readers" scattered all over the house. My distance vision still seems fine, but up close, fugettaboudit. So, off to the eye doc for eval. I have always had an issue with wearing glasses...not because of...

Sen. Ron Paul's take on the "recovery." He makes some excellent, though disturbing, points. :frown: "A false recovery is under way. I am reminded of the outlook in 1930, when the experts were certain that the worst of the Depression was over and that recovery was just around the corner. The...

Ugh. Does anyone take this stuff and not have fishy burps? Ew. I need a recommendation for a non-fishy fish oil. Thanks. :flowers:

UGH, it's hot. Anyone have advice for replacing central a/c? I'm a total goober and I don't know SEER from a hole in the ground. I've been getting quotes on high-efficiency systems that are making my eyes bug out. Sheesh.

American capitalism gone with a whimper - Pravda.Ru

I'm taking my pension as a lump sum at the end of August; naturally will rollover into an IRA and don't plan to touch it for 6-10 years if ever. I'm trying to decide the safest place to stash it since my savings are mostly medium to high risk investments. What say you?

So this morning I nearly swooned at work and was carted off to the medical department. (Yes, I said the "w' word.) They checked me out and shipped me to my physician...I left clutching a prescription for blood pressure meds and instructions to lay off the salt and learn coping mechanisms for...

I’m not sure where to begin, but here goes. I’m a professional woman with 26 years at a major corporation. I’ve enjoyed a modest success in my career; truthfully much more so than I ever expected. My husband and I are very financially secure and I don’t need to work, however I’m a poster...

I'm married, live in Texas and considering taking early retirement next year...maybe. ;D I'm a confirmed "security junkie" and the decision to take early retirement has been a hand-wringer. My husband is not planning to retire for a few more years and we are very financially sound so I don't...
