    Galloway Ridge and Heron both display pricing on their website. Probably ones with high occupancy and waiting lists do that because it’s easier than handling cost enquiries. They’re not in a rush to convert a call to a sale,

    Some places have no issue stating a range of prices in one page on their website. E.g., VI Living. They have about 10 places in different states. Not confusing at all. This is just one of their places but you can find the prices for the others quite easily on the same website...

    Tinnitus help through hearing aids

    I wear earplugs to movies nowadays. And yeah, I definitely needed them, and more, at Dune 2. The hyperacusis seems to get worse with age Check out treblehealth.com. They are online audiologists that deal exclusively with tinnitus etc. I’m not recommending them but they seem to profess a lot...

    BPH (enlarged prostate) Diagnosis

    This is a good Peter Attia video worth watching starting at minute 28. They talk about different approaches to your problem. He really likes HOLEP. You go home with no catheter. Seems to depend on the talent of the surgeon. https://youtu.be/poTcAm_rknw?si=HfCnpSrzl2C-EuJN

    Poll: Dune Part 2

    Just watched it in the theater. Three hours but could easily have watched another hour. Fabulous. Will probably go see it again in imax.

    Pay off mortgage if means entering 22% tax bracket?

    Compare your after tax mortgage to the after tax 4% money used to pay it. Isn’t the after tax 4% less than the mortgage? If so why not pay it off?

    Getting around Dublin?

    There’s a great bus system. They don’t run on time but they run. Google maps will tell you which busses to take, but times will be random. Theres also a DART train that goes to the north and south suburbs.

    Stop over in Istanbul

    I visited the Istanbul Turkish Biz lounge this summer. The most impressive biz lounge I’ve ever seen. I just did a 17.5 hour biz non stop from SFO to Singapore. I was a little worried that it was so long, but it was the best flight ever. Slept about 7-8 hours, not great sleep, but good...

    Disagree. I don’t think any CPA assessing Galloway Ridge would include it. Harilee, congrats. That’s the kind of peace of mind we’re all looking for. Well done.

    Not that I’m any expert in reading financial statements, but if you subtract out depreciation etc. their income exceeds expenses at least for one of the negative years, e.g., 2019. Didn’t look at any of the others. They were cash flow pos by about 4m that year. In 2021 they were positive by...

    Kidney stone treatment

    I have a good friend that has a kidney stone that is a little greater than 2 cm. The stone is lodged inside the kidney at the entrance to the ureter. His urologist has given him two options. One is a uteroscopy I.e., putting a probe up through the urinary tract and into the kidney and...

    Getting a prostate PSA test directly

    I agree thats a great interview if you are interested in prostate issues. Schaeffer is one of the top surgeons in the country. He did Ben Stillers prostatectomy. One interesting he has stated is his approach to dealing with a high PSA score. First he determines the size of your prostate...

    If two are sharing and after so many years one passes, does the other stay in the same two bedroom and pay the extra fees, or stay and pay the single fee?

    New Doctor, New Rules?

    To no one in particular..Take statins or don’t take statins but for heaven’s sake stop with the idea that a doctor making 300k a year cares diddly about how much money he or she’s going to make from your $2 generic statin prescription. Many doctors now are just sick of the whole discussion...
