First savings I've seen since 2020 is Wellcare Humana has been my least expensive Part D option since I entered Medicare in 2020. This year, it is Wellcare ValueScript. (It has been cheapest for DH since he entered Medicare in 2018.) I checked it a dozen times before being convinced/switching...

So happy for you. DH and I visited a few years ago - my first time. Saw bison blocking the road several times, as well as folks getting as close as they dared and taking photos -- against all the advice. Witnessed a group of wolves through a very kind person's high-powered binoculars. Like you...

Glad I saw this. I've accessed Tai Chi via YouTube, etc. but never thought of checking Hoopla. I am happy to learn of this. Tai Chi helps my blood pressure (surely). Thanks.

Gretchen, Thank you for letting us know. Your mom was a sensible stalwart poster and I am sorry to learn of her passing. Take extra good care of yourself.

The physical Amazon gift card route was taken because SIL specifically asked that we send a physical card and not an e-card. She might change her mind for future gift cards. We'd be happy with that. Thanks again for all responses.

Last year, a tire indicator light lit up in our Enterprise rental while on vacation in FL. We drove to closest Enterprise location in Ft Walton Beach and were directed to a tire dealer a mile away. The manager there told us they replace Enterprise tires allllll the time. The tire incident took a...

The PayPal/bank account idea is a good one we'd never thought of. DH ran that by his sister today and she is considering it. We had an Amazon card (physical) mailed to her. She received it today.

Thanks to each and every one of you for your responses. DH sent the cut & pasted version to his sister. SIL decided to accept several gift cards, one at a time. Today, I had one sent from Amazon, per her request, for $500.00. All is good on that front. The day after I posted my query, our...

A few years ago, I was totally convinced I had acid reflux....never diagnosed, but then I never went to doctor about it. After reading aloe vera juice might help, I started drinking 3 oz twice a day and it made a huge difference. A friend of mine had success with aloe vera juice, as well. Fast...

Sorry about the confusion. In an effort to keep the query short and concise, I left out important information....which you guys keep catching. SIL orders everything online and has for years. We have ordered a few items for her that she has asked for during the past few years. I am guessing...

Hey Bigdawg, Been following along and wondering if your sister is near me (Fayetteville, AR). Hospice will be good because they will take care of the pain...and provide services such as chaplain visits if your sister is so inclined. I knew a patient once for whom the hospice provided a boom...

Thank you; DH asked me to copy and forward your input to him...which I just sat down to do. SIL is 72, in nursing home after a major stroke three years ago...very little use of left side. Her mind is sharp. She is adamant about not wanting the nursing home to know about this money....or that...

Dilemma: SIL in nursing home 1400 mi away. She received last check from her father's probate ..about $2500. She does not have a checking account. SIL mailed check to her brother (my husband) while she thought about how to best receive the $$. (As an aside, she was concerned her adult son would...

Willie, Here's to hoping you enjoy your trip very much--and report back. DH and visited SF in September 2019 for the first time - because our son had enrolled in grad school there. We stayed in Union Square and found the area dirty and depressing. We enjoyed the Beats Museum, walking though...

Souschef, What a beautiful photo of your son and daughter-in-law. I am sorry you and your family are dealing with this.
