Years ago I tried headphones with built-in radio while on the riding lawnmower. While I could hear the music, they didn't block the noise of the lawnmower. And they were uncomfortable over my ears because I wear glasses. Since then, there have probably been good improvements in noise...

My husband's folders in his gmail account are almost all empty. He was/is very good at keeping past emails under different labels/folders in his gmail account. Farm related, retirement related, vacation, family, hobbies, etc. He went to look at something today in a certain...

Husband's long time (over 30 years) rheumatologist retired last summer. He was about a 2 hr drive away from us......we had followed him from a previous closer location when he relocated years ago. We really liked him and didn't mind the distance too much. After the Doc's retirement we thought...

My husband turns 70 later this year. At 66, his full retirement age, the Soc Sec office gave him a spreadsheet/list of his benefit at 66 and then for every month he delayed up to his 70th birthday. I understand that he will get +8% each of the four years he delays. And the math works out to...

I had a CD mature. I called local banks to get the current rates they offered. Of course, none were any too great. One bank suggested that a temporary solution would be to start a Christmas Club account. Starting in Oct, you agree to make weekly or monthly deposits into the account for a...

Have you or anyone you know participated in the group lawsuit against Bayer for people with various types of Lymphoma? I am a Lymphoma survivor and keep getting ads to "just answer 10 simple questions" to join in the lawsuit. I don't want to get involved with some fly-by-night lawyer or group...

Now that we are starting to think about a little bit of traveling again, I thought I would put this question out there for all of you seasoned travelers: When renting a car at your flight's destination, do you think it's better/cheaper to add that with your flight's package 'deal' when booking...

The doctor I had for just the last couple years is moving to a different medical group. Still somewhat local and accessible if I want. I received communication from the group she WAS with suggesting staying with their group and choosing a new practitioner. The doctor I had was okay. Young...

We haven't traveled much where we needed to rent a car. Any advice? We wondered whether it seems more convenient to add the rental (prepay and reserve) along when we book our flights? Or is it better to cross our fingers and rent when we land at the airport? My questions are regarding both...

We have very hard water living in a rural area. We have a water softener and iron filter to condition our water. We are happy with how it all works. BUT I drink a lot of water. Yep, a LOT. I don't like the salty taste to our water so for the last few years, I buy refillable water gallons...

Was referred to a Neurologist by my primary doc. Met him today. Did strength testing and had an EMG. They are thinking a pinched nerve in my spine. I have REALLY bad pain in my shoulder blade going down into my upper arm. It's been going on for a couple months. Going to have an MRI...

We have used a financial advisor in the past. (I know that not everyone thinks that's a good idea, but anyhow.......) He has recently changed from the institution he's represented for years, to Ameriprise Financial. I'm not familiar with that name or that company's reputation. We need to...

Thinking about taking a driving trip through southern Illinois (Shawnee National Forest), on through Paducah, KY (been there in our younger days on motorcycle trips with friends), and then spend a few days in Nashville, TN (never been there!) I'd welcome any pointers of what to see (in addition...

I have been paying my Part B insurance premium quarterly by check directly to Medicare/Soc Security. I have since elected to start taking Social Security effective this month (June). I will receive my first payment mid-July. They sent me the calculation for my benefit. It is the amount due...
