    Awkward situation with friends

    I guess I’ve never run into this problem. If out with friends everything is on one check, but everyone pays for what they ordered. I can’t remember ever just splitting the check. Only problem has been people who don’t tip very well

    Bathroom Renovation - Contractor Screwup

    I just don’t understand why “professionals” seem to do this kind of thing all the time. The person doing this job had to notice it was off but just did it anyway. Anybody who builds anything knows that spending a little time up front is so much easier and takes much less time and effort than...

    Will streaming services take over?

    I know cable companies have tremendous control now but if content providers keep moving prime content to their private streaming like ESPN +, peacock, paramount the balance of power might shift. I’m starting to think that in a few years we might look back at cable providers with fondness as we...

    Will streaming services take over?

    I was just looking to watch some European soccer but it is only available on streaming services like ESPN+ or peacock or paramount+. The regular ESPN, NBC, CBS channels you get even though they have lots of channels are just showing old event reruns or stuff like World Chase tag that is...

    DNA Testing and New Sibling?

    Just found out my older sister is actually my half sister. I did 23andMe years ago and recently my sister did the test primarily for the health part of it. We always knew my mom was pregnant before they got married back in the 50s but they never mentioned this. Maybe they did not know or she...

    Sierra Vista AZ

    My wife and I lived in Sierra Vista for 8 years leaving a few years ago. I worked at the fort and my wife did not work. We liked it but certainly did not love it there. We loved hiking year round and there were enough things to do to keep us happy. Having to drive to Tucson for some things we...

    2020 Fed Tax Refund Received!

    I filed 2/15 and it was accepted same day. I’m still waiting for refund. Check my status app just keeps saying being processed. My theory is that I’m getting ACA money back and that is holding things up since Nevada runs their own exchange? Not really interested in calling IRS to see what they say.

    Gastroenterologist never heard of citrucel

    He is 44yo. I found it odd also, but maybe he was just trying to end the session with him and did not want to discuss fiber?

    Gastroenterologist never heard of citrucel

    I met with Dr last week and I was just wondering what people thought about something. I was surprised that a gastroenterologist has never heard of citrucel or Methylcellulose fiber. I have been talking it for many years and when I told him he did not know what I was talking about. Made me...

    Business health insurance for self-employed

    I looked into this a couple years ago for my wife and I but had no luck. I was also a member of some professional organizations that claimed to offer health insurance but they did not work out for my area. I’m still interested in finding a national PPO plan like the ones I had while working but...

    53, high blood pressure

    I take my BP at home and it is almost always about 120/70 or just under that like 115/60 somewhere in there. my PCP always gets about 140/90 which she is not happy about. I have had BP at other doctors and they are usually about what I get at home. So I did some experiments at home and I can...

    DNA Testing and New Sibling?

    I did 23andMe a number of years ago. Last year my nephew was interested in his DNA so I bought him a kit. Results show that my sister is really a half sister, but she and my nephew have not noticed this yet. I’m still waiting for a good time to bring up this and am kind of waiting for them to...

    Health Insurance: How do you know what you are really buying

    The insurance company thinks they have a contract with the provider but the provider won’t accept the insurance. I called insurance and they checked and don’t know why provider canceled. Hopefully they will call me back by Monday with a resolution which will most likely be finding a new doctor...
