Received an email from Costco stating we purchased the Jiff peanut butter in the past month. After looking in the pantry I found 3 1/2 jars that fall under the recall. DH already started eating one jar. Costco told us to bring all the jars back for a refund.

I started using the electrode gel too especially in the winter.

I started running many many years ago with a Garmin 305 and then progressed to a 310 until last year. Decided to come into the new decade and bought a 935 Garmin. The differences and capabilities tied to my android phone was well worth the purchase. In the past I always ran with a heart rate...

If you are a member of Costco you can order Quicken online and have it shipped to you. The Deluxe is 39.99 and the Premiere is 54.99 and the discounts are good through the end of January. Not as cheap as the Amazon price but still a good deal.

My BCBS plan under the ACA never covered out of area Dr's or hospitals even emergencies. However, after ending up in different hospitals in other cities in the past few years BC paid my claims. I had to research the coverage and situation extensively and push my BCBS to pay the claims in...

We have not rejoined the gym yet but missed going during the pandemic. We started hiking and cycling about 2 months ago. I gained 10 pounds last year but need to lose 15. On a positive note, we cycled 80 miles in the past 2 days. Slowly getting back into shape and it feels good. We are...

I agree. We stayed inside for almost a year abiding by all the standard covid recommendations. Our Governor announced today no more mask mandates inside or outside as of May 31. Of course businesses can decide on their own. We are vaccinated and are going to live our life now.

We have been eating in restaurants ever since our state opened up restaurants with restrictions around 6 months or so. We eat out 2-3 times a week and enjoy the freedom.

We retired to Tennessee and live about 45 minutes from Knoxville. Yes, sales tax is high but property tax is extremely low compared to other areas. The no income tax is the reason we did not consider moving to another state. We are close to the Smoky Mountains which feeds are love of hiking.

Today was my six month follow up from my cataract surgery. Some people here questioned how the eye surgery in my blind eye (amblyopia) went from 20/600 to 20/60. I was also told my entire life that no surgery would help my blind eye. So I asked my Dr how it was possible. He said amblyopia...

In order to get into shape for hiking you need to hike. Walking the neighborhood is no comparison. We lived in a small city for over 10 years and never knew there was a wooded trail about 15 miles from our house. It was a moderate trail system where you could add up to 8 miles while...

Mine was the standard lens where Medicare and Medicare Supplement paid for everything.

I failed the driver's license eye test when I was 16 and also years later when I moved to another state. Both times I had to get a letter from an eye Dr stating I was legally blind in my left eye and nothing could be done to improve my vision. Every eye Dr over the years told me I saw 20/20...

Try vaccinefinder.org. That is the site I used to get appointments. Where I live the pharmacies and Wal-Mart are doing exceptional. The Health Department is struggling as I got on the wait list 2 months ago and no call or email. Wal-Mart can get you an appointment within days. I received my...

Received my 2nd shot last week and DH gets his 1st shot this morning. A long process but glad it's finally here.

Currently too much money in TIRA's which are slowly being converted to ROTHs. Keeping an eye out on tax rates to ensure this plan is the most efficient for RMDs. SS at age 68 or so. Pain today or pain later. [emoji856]

Other than a sore arm that was warm to the touch for 2-3 days I had no other side effects from the 2nd Shingrix shot. However, DH had fever, chills and fatigue for 24 hours after his 2nd shot.

So finally went to the Dr for checkup and bloodwork. Skipped going to the dr the entire year of 2020. The last year has been more difficult for me with winter and not going to the gym. I gained 15 lbs and started eating a dessert almost every day. Got back on course about a month ago since...

If this passes and the cliff is removed this would be a good time to convert a large amount from Traditional IRA to ROTH. I have been converting small amounts over the past few years in order to receive an ACA subsidy. To clarify the provision: This is only for tax years 2021 and 2022...

Also, the Dr who did my surgery was a Retina Specialist. I don't know if this was a factor.

His drs told him what I read over and over about amblyopia. All my prior eye Drs confirmed that surgery would not help or bring the vision back. I don't know if my surgery was a fluke or I found a Dr who was able to do it. All I know is he ordered a special lens for that eye. I spoke to him...

Am I the only one who can't hear this video? Or as they say is hearing the next to go. [emoji38]

Honestly, I read surgery could do nothing for amblyopia. When I went to this eye Dr (at a teaching university) I was aggitated for the 2 hour wait. He was the 3rd eye Dr I'd seen in past 12 months. First two acted like I was a hypochondriac since I had 20/20 vision. Neither one did a glare...

We also have the ACA and took BCBS because of their national network. We had two emergencies out of town which resulted in inpatient hospital stays. Both times the hospitals and Drs were in the Blue Cross network. As long as you know most network hospitals are in bigger cities. We both have...

According to the Dr prior to surgery my vision was 20/20 with glasses. (Good eye) The reason for the cataract surgery was when I had a glare test done my vision went down to 20/70. Could not read, or do spreadsheets or read street signs or billboards or see tv clearly. With my bad eye...
