I found signing up for Medicare to be incredibly easy. I went through Boomer Benefits and the private part was easy as well. The discouraging thing I found was how hard Medicare Advantage plans are being pushed.

Billy Strings at Ryman Saturday night was the best concert experience I can recall. So wonderful. Bob Weir sat in the whole 2nd set. All GD songs the 2nd set and many of my personal faves. We had such a good time with the youngest son and his wife in Nashville that I booked a trip out to...

My SIL works for Mondelez. She assures me that the company holds their customers in the same high esteem as they do their employees.

Wordle 317 5/6 Lots of eagles today in my two family World groups.......

#waffle100 5/5 A time limit makes a lot of sense. For now, I am enjoying investing the time in solving these two-phase puzzles optimally. I would say it is good game design that it can be enjoyed different ways.

We are going to see Billy Strings at Ryman with my son & DIL next weekend (they live in Nashville). I am giddy beyond words. Billy Strings AND Ryman = double-bucket list stuff for me. :)

My 98 year-old father reminds me to wait until 70 every chance he gets. He has the benefit of looking through the rear view mirror - he took his at 62. I don't say this to him, but hell, he hasn't run out of money or anything and he's had a good gig. I don't see how he or my mother (who passed...

The rules say all puzzles can be solved in 10 swaps. I've done all of the last 4 in 10 swaps.

I am doing this and having fun with it (in my own way, I guess), but without a time limit, one should never have anything less than a 5-star result, yes? Solve all the words and minimize the swaps before doing the first swap.....(?)

Arrived today. Set up time from cutting the tape on the box to getting a pretty good download speed was 15 minutes. I literally set the antenna on its stand in the driveway - plenty of trees around, but a decent view of the (high) northern sky. The router is on the covered front porch. For now...

After a year of waiting, our "dishy" (Gen 2) will arrive tomorrow. I don't have any good idea on how I am going to install it. I anticipate tree issues. Lots of neighbors and other folks in the county receiving theirs as well.

I coincidentally saw this earlier today - excellent. JPJ looks pretty good for 76! Hope for us all.....

Thanks for posting this. To be clear, the 3rd move I suggested was as bolded above. This is not checkmate, correct? Did I miss an easy checkmate in 3?

Same score... We have 30 acres of mixed hardwood forest to wander around in and trails by one of the cleanest rivers in the eastern U.S. out our front door. We give it a walk score of 1000 :laugh:.

DW has a modest COLA'd retired teachers pension (but also includes retirees health coverage) and I have a mega-corp micro-pension (annuity non-COLA'd). DW has an inherited IRA (old rules) that kicks in a few thou each year. Anything expenses above that, we get from Lotto ticket winnings and...

Just looking at the board - so first fork the K/R? White K must move, take white Q with black Q (check) White K must capture Black Q, black knight takes white R(check). Black knight can go pawn hunting so white concedes?

I procrastinated and accidentally got this deal late last week. ATL-IAH = 17,500 per person for the 2nd week in February. This was for the regular level (not basic) so we could pick our seats and sit together and at the particular times of day we needed to hit on both travel days. Not the best...

A regular mindfulness or meditation practice helps me really embrace the present moment, which is really all we've got.

It is worth a trip over to immediateannuities.com and get a quote (quickly/online) for the lump sum amount - inputting your particulars. It looks to me that the monthly payment you've been offered is pretty attractive (compared to the market for annuities). Food for thought.....

Texas or Covid?...... Texas or Covid?...... That is a tough one...... :laugh::laugh:

The clinical trials at Johns Hopkins for terminal cancer patients getting a large dose of psilocybin in a safe and comfortable environment to help face their impending death has yielded impressive results. Psychedelics are suggestible by their very nature and these patients are volunteers that...

DW & I got our Moderna half-dose boosters yesterday. So far, no side effects and no soreness (for me) at the injection site. We are pleased to get this under our belts and wish we had them sooner.
