    Plan to switch my Medigap Plan G to USAA

    Did they say anything about having to have both policies the first month? When I looked into UHC in the fine print it said I needed to keep my old policy for the first month, in case, I didn't like the new policy with UHC. I asked Anthem if I needed to do that if I wanted to switch to them and...

    New Linux Mint Machine has no Sound

    We used an HDMI cable from the TV to the devices (with specific adapters connecting the Iphone, Ipad and Windows 8.1 machine). The sound goes thru the TV and/or the external speakers we have connected to the TV. The new Linux pc has an HDMI cable output and it also has an USB-C output that we...

    Thank you for the replies! I apologize for not responding sooner. DH is the one who is setting this up and he has been trying to fix another issue at home so hasn't been able to really look thru the responses. HDMI wasn't listed anywhere in the audio setup so we bought another cable and...

    New Linux Mint Machine has no Sound

    We are trying to get the latest version of Linux Mint to work on a new pc. The idea is to use a TV for the monitor and play the sound thru our speakers. No sound comes out of the TV or the speakers. It has the sound card integrated to the motherboard and no graphics card. Even though there...

    Linux and Vanguard

    Mint Thanks for the replies. We have Mint on a older pc that we were going to use to check it out. Anyone know anything about Mint? Also, do you use a security package with Linux? We have been using Eset with our Windows machines. We see they have a version for Linux. When we asked...

    Linux and Vanguard

    We would like to move from Windows 8.1 to Linux before support for it runs out. Anyone use Linux to log on to Vanguard or a credit union/bank? We're thinking that as long as our Firefox browser is up to date we should be ok. Any thoughts? Thanks!

    BEWARE of Bank of America

    You also might want to file a complaint online with the Consumer Financial Protection Board. It used to be very easy and effective. They had a database of complaints and how they were resolved. In 2015 US Bank was holding onto money from my mother's estate because they had lost the...

    page not loading - (solved - see post #25

    My updated version of Fire Fox still doesn't work. I don't have any extensions or add-ons installed. I still can't get in except using an old version of Internet Explorer. My guess what FrankiesGirl posted above is the reason. Why are there so many tracker programs being run and why...

    Can't see Threads Using Firefox

    Nothing is listed. It just lists some I can add. Does that mean I don't have any? Did anything change recently to the Early Retirement site?

    Can't see Threads Using Firefox

    I tried that but it didn't help. I tried changing some of the permissions but it only helped for one thread and then it was back to the error message. I think it has something to do with the lock with the red line in it. It says the connection is not secure. Has something changed recently...

    Can't see Threads Using Firefox

    Recently I can no longer drill into any of the forum's threads using the Firefox browser. All I can see is the Early Retirement home page. I still can drill in using an old version of Internet Explorer, which I am using now to post this thread. I turned off blocking cookies but it didn't seem...

    Tauck tours...worth the price?

    What are the coaches like? DH and I are looking at a Canadian Tauk tour and were wondering what the tour coaches are like? Do they have nice comfortable captain chairs? We are trying to decide if we want to do the tour or just drive ourselves. Thanks!

    Suggestions on Where to Live

    DH and I have been trying to figure out where to "retire to" since I retired 10 years ago. We have lived in Missouri all our lives. I thought I would ask here to see if anyone had any suggestions we hadn't thought of. Our priorities are the following: - Clean air and water (we'd also...

    Landline Phone Features

    Thank You Thanks all for your insightful responses and suggestions, but after much research and thought (at least on my part), DW drove to Office Max and consulted with one of the "technicians" at their store (whose talent turned out to be the ability to listen to the customer and tell them...

    Landline Phone Features

    Our landline phone/anwering machine/recorder just died in a recent thunderstorm and we're now in the market for a new device which is at least as good as the one we had. I recall reading a thread back in the early 2000's and one of features I saw mentioned was the ability to create a list in...

    Building a House

    I'm the OP and we decided not to pursue building the house (at least in this subdivision). Thank you for all the good posts. It helped DH and I think it through more. Now we are trying to decide between a villa that has some issues (we told the real estate agent it had to be re-sided with...

    Building a House

    DH and I are looking into building our "dream house". The builder who owns the lot can not give us a solid price on the house yet because he says we need an architect to come up with plans based on our design. Nothing they have built comes close to what we want. The builder uses a...

Are there...

    Dining Room?

    We are thinking of building a house and don't see the need for a formal dining room, at least for us if we have a large breakfast room to eat in. We were wondering if it would negatively affect resale value. Anyone have any ideas on the subject? Thanks!
