    GEHA unable to provide status of claim

    As of today, I am still not able to access my EOBs. So this has been going on for more than 2 months? There are a lot of open questions here.....no system redundancy? Why aren't we getting status updates? Is there a congressional comittee looking into this?

    Estate Planning Question

    I've moved to a small town and have spoken around and learned that the local attorneys here are not well respected. I need to update my will and trust. I don't think I need to stay in this county to do that? I can go to any larger city as long as it's in the same state, right? Estate law is...

    Seeking Recommendations on a Fasting Primer

    Has anyone written a book for the lay person on the science of fasting? It would discuss the impacts, benefits, disadvantages and explain them in terms understood by the average person? but also not some pop culture woo woo? I am a quick learner, but can be quickly turned off by People magazine...

    I was just given this research paper which speaks to the usage of them. https://www.scirp.org/journal/paperinformation?paperid=113351&fbclid=IwAR13AWml9qCLN3cUsL057DB8WmyPAc9f02XbTL5AUdicC9Gq8lAqu56fPNE#:~:text=No%20severe%20adverse%20effects%20were,in%20the%20treatment%20of%20T2DM

    Civil Judgement? Options?

    Yes, to recover back payments you'd need to bring a contract action. Depending on the amount, it might be possible to do it in small claims court, which would be a lot less expensive. And a simple contract action for non-payment is fairly straightforward. This is what we are thinking. The rent...

    Civil Judgement? Options?

    The rent payments are based on an annual date, not tied to any crop or farming schedules. No, no liens placed against him on our rented land...judgements were placed against him personally. Of course we will follow the contract rules for non-payment : send notice, ask him to remove any...

    Civil Judgement? Options?

    The short story is that along with my siblings, I inherited a whole bunch of farmland from our grandparents. A couple years ago, a guy retired from a state job and moved to this area to become a farmer (who knows?). He bought a farm but it didn't come with much land - so he asked to rent ours...

    Toyota key fob stopped working suddenly

    Same thing happened to me a couple years ago with my RAV4, 2013. Swapping out the fob battery was not an option. Auto Zone guy explained why - something to do with the compartment not being designed to be opened. Since then, I just use it the old fashioned way - I use the key to manually open...

    Health Related Forums?

    I enjoy the overall forum here and have learned a lot - but want to do some deep dives on some health related issues. Do any of you know of a similarly styled forum for health topics? I seem to remember stumbling onto one some years ago, that was organized by condition/illness, etc. Can no...

    Those Who don't/didn't do Roth Conversions

    I am familiar with tax loss harvesting and do it myself, but was thrown off by tax gain harvesting and wondered if it was some cool trick I had yet to learn of...and how it might different from regular LT equity sales.

    Those Who don't/didn't do Roth Conversions

    Read all 22 pages today with only one question, for poster Sunset. On the first page, you mentioned: "OP - Do you do long term capital gains harvesting to get tax free money or are your pensions too high ?' Do you mind clarifying what is meant by long term capital gains harvesting for tax free...

    Stealth Wealth

    Wonder how many of the French aristocratic class thought they were being stealthy with their wealth back in the days before the storming of the Bastille and rolling out of the guillotine? Just saying. They never saw it coming.

    Listening to Music actively and in the background

    Maybe this is an odd question, but here goes. Since retiring, I've started a guided meditation practice using apps for this...which has led also to sound baths and listening to extended sets of slow jazz and affirmation programming...sometimes through YouTube or other apps. I find it very very...

    Televisions - last ditch effort

    I paid for the TV with my Target Redcard which extends the return policy for an additional 30 days - so, in my case - through December 10. If I go with option 2, I lose my free local channels - presumably would then have to pay for Peacock, Paramount, etc. I had not considered an indoor...

    Televisions - last ditch effort

    Hi Frank. My strategy is to go with the set that has the best picture quality and never connect it to the internet. Get a basic roku box. Benefits are no ads displayed by the TV and you are protected from obsolescence since it doesn’t matter when the TV vendor stops providing updates to the set...
