Recently had Covid for the first time. DH and I both got it at the same time. I either got from him or our daughter. She didn't feel well for a day or so and doesn't know it was Covid but could me. I took the Paxlovid. I had the bitter taste (DH didn't). I did some research and found that...

responding to moving to be closer to family... I guess this is a personal choice but I don't see it that way. I think that wanting to live somewhere else for other reasons is perfectly valid. We moved to a state that we knew no one. Our daughter did follow us here which has been nice. But...

YouTube Premium.

I have AARP Medigap. So here is the way it works. You find a gym that accepts Renew Active and go in and sign up. They will tell you what you get for that. I recently joined a gym that has 3 tiers of membership. Renew Active got me the midrange tier which was the one I would have selected...

You absolutely want to take a statin (or other lipid lowering medication if you are intolerant). There are several reasons for this. I calcium score of 164 is not good. A high calcium score is a sign of atherosclerosis. Heart disease needs to be treated. 1. If you have calcified plaque...

Were a number of years retired when we moved from Texas to Delaware last year. I had lived in Texas my whole life. DH's dad had been in the Navy so he had lived lots of places (none in the north) as a child but had lived in Texas as an adult. When we moved here we knew no one. We spent a lot...

I have a Paperwhite I got about 3 years ago. Honestly I don't often use it. I don't actually know where it is right now. I keep intending to use it but I find myself just using the Kindle app on my phone....

I have 2 friends really. Once was my best friend in high school. We lost contact after she got married and I finished school and lived 250 miles from her (this was back when long distance cost money). Then many years later we reconnected but I was in the middle of raising kids by then. She...

The concern I have is that if I have a knee replacement in my early 70s that I will need another one 15 years later in my late 80s. I wonder if there is n age sweet spot where you can have a knee replacement and still have a second one later on if heed be. I agree with this to a point. But...

Ah I can see that my post was not nearly as clear as I thought it was. The reason that I was a little surprised by the initial inquiry was not at all because I think everyone should need a desktop computer. Even though only have a laptop is not what I want I fully understand why it might work...

This is all interesting. I know I have this in the future. An MRI about 10 years ago said I was bone on bone. a About 25 years ago I had a tibial transfer on my left knee which helped a lot with the knee pain I was having then. When I had the MRI 10 years ago (for unrelated issue) told me...

If you have YouTube Premium you can download videos.

I have an AARP UHC Supplement (Plan G) and they give me Active Renew which does give free gym memberships. That said, some gyms are "Premium" and you only get on a Medicare Advantage plan. They aren't gyms I want so I don't mind. There is one thing I am sore about but I doubt it is AARP or...

Last fall we moved 1500 miles and sold most of our furniture before moving. We got here and did spring for a Tempur-Pedic bed frame and mattress and bought a very nice sofa and chair from a bricks and mortar furniture store. Everything else came from Wayfair. We bought 2 office desks, a curio...

This is a joke, right? But just in case there is so much that you can't easily do on a laptop computer or is more difficult. Note that I have 2 laptops so I am not anti-laptop. For my desktop I had it built by NZXT. I specified every part of it. I could get exactly the graphics card that I...

YouTubeTV. We have had in past had DirectTV streaming, Sling and Sony (no longer exists). I prefer YouTubeTV out of the ones we have tried. The only channels I care about are on there. It has only one price offering so whatever it is that is what you pay. I like that it keeps the stuff you...

I currently have 2. I have a Cosori single basket airfryer. I absolutely loved it. Except if I wanted to cook, say, chicken (or fish) and also cook roasted vegetables separately I couldn't do it all at once. So I bought a Ninja dual basket where you can cook 2 different things at once. I...

You seem to be cutting out a lot of feedback here including people who have traditional Medicare and love it and people who have Medicare Advantage and hate it. I had a family member who I think overall liked her Advantage plan. Of course, that changed when she broke her hip and the only rehab...

I actually have thought about both of these. When we moved to a new state 6 months ago we knew no one. I knew it was challenging to find new doctors knowing nothing and new that it was hard to get that first appointment. So DH and I decided to go with an MDVIP practice which is $1800 a year...

I subscribe to Adobe Acrobat. I did get a free one year Adobe Pro subscription when I bought a new scanner in 2022. So there's that if it is still offered. I tried many other alternatives and none of them met my needs. I need something where I can take my scanned in PDFs and then OCR them in...

Good luck with the EDOF. There was a forum I went to that talked about the LAL EDOF. There was a clinic in Mexico doing trials for it and I think someone had a thread about it. I would have done a LAL with EDOF if it had been available when I had surgery but it wasn't. I did have Vivity on...

I haven't really had a problem. Do check the formulary for any medications you use a lot of that are expensive. One year I needed a particular eye drop and they wouldn't cover the one the doctor prescribed. But there was an alternative that was also effective so that was OK.

These posts caused me to go back and see when I joined. I joined in June of 1998. For a few years I sold a lot on eBay. I just noticed that today my feedback is exactly 1111. The vast majority of that (well over 1000) is as a seller. Back in the day I was a niche seller and sold collectible...

I know nothing about the procedure you had done. I wanted to commend you for the detailed and informative report. I hope your recovery goes well.

None of the poll answers were quite right. I mostly would say I switch to inside shoes. I don't leave my outside shoes at door. If I have gone out, I would typically go upstairs and take my shoes off in the closet. Then -- depending on weather -- I might go barefoot or I put on inside shoes...
