Ah well, that's just your opinion. You seemed to have missed my personal concern.

Far be it from me to chase anyone to a doctor, much less ER... but... If you are concerned about your wife's situation (and you are!), I'd go to an ER that is connected to a good hospital that has many services. "Connected" as in right there. Not a stand-alone across town. If the ER decides...

Well, personally, I do. And Texas is one of the most unhealthy states in the nation. As far as traffic and insane drivers, we're shooting for number 1! Yeah, shooting too. Road Rage is rampant.

In Texas, a job can not be used as an excuse. The employer is not required to pay the employee for time off for jury duty.

If in Texas, over 70 was still optional, I would agree. But they now made up to 75 mandatory. So I don't agree. Degrees of mobility, access, stress, is a don't care. I suspect, but of course I do not know, that there is a higher percentage of responding to summons among the elderly when its...

So did I! In the name of increasing profits, did they all agree to "faggedaboutit"? I looked in the 2024 Wellcare Value Script ANC. For Coverage Gap and Catastrophic Coverage Stages, it says to look at Chapter 4, Sections 6 and 7, in the Evidence of Coverage. On the website. But the E of C they...

Reading the law yesterday, you are back in the prospective pool, as no mention was made of previous decisions a person may have made. In reality, it probably depends on how faithful your county election department works, whether in time they go through the opted-out list and cancel the opt-outs...

But that was your sister's choice to go. For all the "freedom, freedom" I hear expressed in TX, our state legislature continues to turn the screws on people, counties, and municipalities. Well, I ain't feelin' the freedom now. It is a long harrowing drive to the courthouse for me. Driving a...

Unfortunately, no. Only a letter from a doctor saying the person is incapable. I see the UK rule was an upper limit to participate, different than the Texas "you-will-participate" but opt-out if desired at 70 (now increased to 75). The TX has the same text as before, just the 70 crossed out and...

Lots of things to investigate. Does the feed to the meter unit, and the transformer feeding it, have the capability of the increased current required? Probably not. Zoning - Sounds commercial, or at least neighborhood services or something like that. And can it be combined with a residence(s)...

Hidden away, nobody noticed, was a law change in the 2023 Texas Legislative session. Just found out about it today, thanks to a lawyer who writes a column for the Sunday senior page in the local big-city newspaper. Heard zero about it before. Effective 9/1/23, the exemption choice from Jury...

In my post, I mentioned that I called the customer line at Wellcare, to verify that the $.50/mo. for 2024 was NOT a misprint. That was one of the first things I did after receiving the ANC in the mail, as it seemed doubtful. It's not a mistake.

Michelin Defender LTX M/S. Don't know if they are available in the size you need. Never had any issues with the Michelin LTX (later called Defender LTX) M/S tires.

Yeah, that's probably alright. Using the zoom on the unobtainable part's pic, the part crimped onto the orange wire looks like a diode, it has polarization markings on it, so your guess on power reduction is probably correct. Wire nuts or insulated crimp, whichever. A half-step you might want...

I received a wedding invitation from a Great-Nephew. Never seen him or had any communication with him. Lives over a 1,000 miles away. Okay, sent back the RSVP sorry we can't make it. Sent later a card with a check for a couple hundred. Wedding date came and went. Well over 6 months later...

For anyone wanting a full-size Chevy or GMC pickup, go ahead and order a 2024. For a large swath of the US, the "Truck of America" is built is Silao, Mexico. In my past, I have seen the good sides, and some negatives, of unions. Long ago, after getting my degrees, after a couple years, I...

UPDATE: After reading your response, I carefully went through and compared the new 2024 ANC with the 2023 ANC. What - a - mess! It all appears to be a cut and paste mess on top of a "document" that was never reviewed by someone with sense! If Wellcare sold electric kitchen knife sharpeners...

Today by mail I received the Annual Notice of Change from my Wellcare Value Script Part D plan. I did a double take... the premium is going from $11.10 (2023) to $.50 (2024)! What? A major misprint? So I called the member number, and got it verified. Yes, $.50 per month for next year! The...

Centralized heating - oh yeah! My big U alma mater had a central heating plant. Was coal-fired for years, eventually had signs up for blocks around it, mentioning the fall out. Ate up car paint. All over the large extended campus, miles and miles of steam tunnels ran underground (the winters...

Oral administration of phenylephrine as an oral decongestant. FDA report is here (big report, maybe start at page 31 for those really interested): https://www.fda.gov/media/171915/download My conclusion - The studies provided years ago that showed the efficacy of phenylephrine were poorly done...

Texas Proud, does your brother pay into Social Security at his job? If he does, please do something for me. The next time you see him, give him a nice pat on the back, and with a very positive attitude, say "Atta boy, you're doing a GREAT Job! Keep it up! Our country needs dedicated experts...

Our high today in DFW was 110. The third 110 for this summer. We are NOT a desert community... yet! Heard a little thunder this evening after dark. Saw lightning lighting up clouds in the distance. Nothing by me. At 11:20 PM, it's 91 degrees. We might actually drop out of the 90s by midnight -...

Let's talk about... Kayaks! (a thread derailler to dissuade He-whose-name-shall-not-be-mentioned from commenting further) Hmmm, I wonder what he's been up to these years of silence... No! NO I don't! Joke! It was a joke! Honest! I don't wanna know! Kayaks Kayaks!

Well, don't move to Texas! Not the DFW area, that's for sure! $576 a year might get you insurance on a pup tent! ;D
