We received our renewal a few days ago (at least was not a cancellation like most years). Went from about $5000 to $5800 which actually is not bad... I'm in FL and we've been cancelled many times (no claims). We have a no-name company, no idea if they could pay the claim, etc--and not a fancy...

In early March I received a letter from my Citi Sears Mastercard saying that they were going to reduce my limit from 10K to 2K if I didn't use it in two months. Said I hadn't used it in two years. Backstory before you start laughing about a Sears branded card...I was offered this about 20 years...

Recently returned from two weeks in Japan with my two grown kids. I have a two week Norway cruise scheduled for this summer with almost a week in Scotland after the cruise. I've never been to either of those countries.

That is really interesting that you brought this up. I'm not any type of musician, etc so I don't know-- but I'm a big concert fan. I saw The Eagles in 2018 and commented afterward that they were still really good, sounded like their records, etc. It was at a giant stadium with Jimmy Buffet...

I always liked this Volkswagen commercial; might be appropriate for this forum...

I have UHC/AARP MediGap G and my husband has F. His has no deductible and mine has about $250-ish deductible. No copays. We pay about $420 per month and another amount that is deducted from our SS check-don't remember how much that it. We also get about $150 back per month (total for the...

Sometimes it is your bank, it seems especially Visa branded cards, that prevent this. Apparently they think it's fraud. I had problems with pre-booking things in Japan a few years ago (in addition to their sites!!, just different from US ones sometimes.) DD also had problems just a few...

Going to concerts, singing along to the songs and losing my voice. Sort of acting like a teenager except without getting next to the stage with the speakers in my ears. I've got Bob Dylan coming up (not a sing-along person), plus The Eagles and then the Stones in the summer. Unfortunately...

I have the same exact Medicare and prescription plan that Scuba has (FL also). Last year I went to the ER, stayed overnight for observation and did not owe anything. The original bill was over 37K (for about 26 hours there). This is a great plan.

Going to Japan for two weeks in March with my two 30/31 kids. DD was just there in December and we all went there in 2019. Having fun doing the planning, it's part of the trip! And playing the points game, we're getting five nights on points and will inch me toward the next level on Hyatt (just...

I made these collages decades ago of ticket stubs glued onto wood. I will always keep them but never put them out or on the wall. Some of the prices are unbelievable --like $8.50 for Paul McCartney (my first post with a photo, hope it works...)

A kids-sized guitar. I was probably in 4th or 5th grade. Went out in the middle of the night to check the stuff under the tree and it wasn't there. It's not something that could be hidden under the tree. I was so bummed I couldn't get back to sleep. But I guess I did. Got up in the morning...

Yes! And it's been weird for months. My husband has his 401K there and I have my IRA. Mine works fine but my husband's says- You have successfully logged into NetBenefits but have landed on a page that no longer exists. To ensure that your information is protected, please close your browser...

I went to the ER plus one night observation a few weeks ago and just received my bill. It was 32K(!!) but the amount they say I still owe is $450. I have Plan G (not the high deductible) and have already paid my deductible (I think it's about $226) It's not an itemized bill, just one page so...

I gave my retirement notice (had been there 20+ years) January 2010 and my last day was early February 2010. My manager said I should wait until April because that's when bonuses come out. We discussed it with the director who said since I'm retiring instead of quitting, I was still entitled to...

We get the annual Medjet evacuation insurance. It's about $425/year for the two of us. Thankfully, I've never had to use it but their spin is that they transport you to "the hospital of your choice" rather than their choice. As for regular trip cancellation insurance, we haven't bought that...

Some countries are really picky--like Singapore. We were there in 2019 and we had to have written authorization from them--not heart/blood pressure, etc meds-but I brought something in case I needed it for flying and needed authorization for that. They kicked it back the first time because I...

I'm in FL and yes, happens here on old smoke detectors, any white plastic. Even when I worked, the plastic on the copy machines would be yellow, remotes, etc. But the good thing is if it is something that is removable, a shot of white spray paint will make it look like new.

I taught myself with a book when I was a kid. Can do about 90% touch typing--still have to look at numbers and some punctuation.

Kind of funny, of 14 posts so far, two are "firsts" for me. They're Coming to Take Me Away was the first 45 I got and Bloodrock was the first concert I went to. I won tickets from a radio station and Rare Earth was the headliner with Bloodrock and Crystal Mansion (local group) opening.

There are very few companies that will write travel insurance for pre-existing conditions. We recently used Geo-Blue Voyager Choice. There's several similar sounding names. The big thing is that you have to buy your insurance within a short period of time after booking your first...

We arrived back from London on Friday evening. I renewed Global Entry about November of last year and still haven't heard back, it's "pending" or something but they let it continue for about 1.5 years. Returning to the US was a breeze (after waiting 1/2 hour for our luggage). I went up to the...

We are currently on the last day of a Scandinavian cruise. Unfortunately we’ve had a lot of rain in Helsinki, Tallinn, and Copenhagen( with walking tours scheduled each day). “Next time” I would do it on my own. A cruise is good for an overview but there’s often things you don’t have time...
