    What new series are you watching? *No Spoilers, Please*

    Finished #5 of 8 limited series called "The Gentlemen" on Netflix. Very good. Quirky drama action. And it's British!

    Punctal Plugs

    Anyone here have Punctal Plugs inserted for dry eyes? Did they help? I checked the Medicare website and found no mention of whether they are covered.

    Examples of current inflation - add yours!

    Anybody here use Systane or similar eyedrops? The other day I was comparing different drops at Walmart. The price per ounce is annotated on the display. Most run between $38 and $45 per ounce. For basically saline solution!

    OP here. Thanks everyone for so many replies and suggestions. Your inputs are really valuable to me. My sisters and I are now almost 3 months in to our monthly rotation.

    Getting an elderly parent to give up living alone

    I'm sure many of you have experienced a scenario where an elderly parent has some type of medical emergency that triggers the inevitable conversation of living alone versus moving in with family or a facility. My DM is approaching 90 and has lived alone for 10+ years since dad passed. And she...

    USAA SafePilot program

    So I downloaded the USAA SafePilot app and went for my first drive. They give you a 14-day grace period before stuff really counts. The app appears to track your use of cell phone and hard braking, nothing else that I can see. I drove 3 legs totaling about 20 miles. I can proudly report that no...

    USAF retirees offered opportunity to "unretire"

    Can't imagine going back to a flying job. So much memorization of regulations, aircraft procedures, etc. My brain is a little mushy and probably not capable.

    Killers of The Flower Moon

    You got that right, like 3 hours 20 minutes. We broke it up on two nights. We really enjoyed it, great acting all around.

    Why can't robots "check the box"?

    What a timely post. I just opened this EarlyRetirement website and first got a message filling the entire screen that said something like "Please stand by while we verify you are a human." After about 4 seconds, the forum opened. I have not see such a message before. Is this a new feature? And...

    Rental car safety issues

    I rented a Honda Accord last summer for a month. The odometer read 45K miles and the check engine light came on after a few days. I was nowhere near a rental agency to swap, so I called Enterprise and they said "don't worry about it, should be fine." So I drove it for another three weeks with no...

    What technology for new home?

    If I were building a new home, it would include a solar system like the Tesla solar roof with power walls. Electricity costs will almost certainly go up every year. Right now there is a good tax incentive in place and, depending on where you live, much of your energy costs (including EV power)...

    Canyon de Chelly National Monument in Arizona

    Anyone here had the pleasure of visiting Canyon de Chelly National Monument in northeastern Arizona? I am intrigued by this place and may look to hire a Navajo guide and experience this national treasure. It appears to be nowhere near any airports, so Albuquerque may be the best option. That...

    What new series are you watching? *No Spoilers, Please*

    Halfway through the first season of Slow Horses on AppleTV. Excellent British spy drama. Gary Oldman's role is exquisite.

    What's wrong wtih my garage door opener?

    Our 8-yr old Liftmaster displayed most of the same symptoms as yours. I tried everything including replacing the exterior key pad. And, like you, I could still use the hardwired button in the garage. After talking with Liftmaster customer service a couple times, they recommended either replacing...

    Ashwagandha

    I've been reading about the use of Ashwagandha, the medicinal herb from India. Supposed to do lots of great things, like lower blood pressure, help treat diabetes, improve sleep, etc. Funny thing, one article says it's been around since at least 2000BC. Another article (in WebMD of all things)...

    What supplements do you take? Benefits?

    Zinc, vitamin D3a, magnesium citrate, for the past 15 years. Recently added Lyons Mane capsules. I grow my own mushrooms as a hobby. I dehydrate and power them, then use a capsule maker to produce quality vitamin pills. Lyons Mane is the latest superfood with properties that aid the brain.

    Where is the used car price going?

    But for ~100K, you do get a lot of truck for ~100K. That SRT engine is nice. Who doesn't need a truck that does 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds?

    RIP David McCallum

    I was a young teen watching this incredible show, better than anything I had seen to date in my time as a young television critic. I was a skinny little kid that so much wanted to be Illya Kuryakin. Better than Bond. RIP Sir.
