About two years ago I was diagnosed with minor anemia and have taken a B12 shot each month. I am no longer anemic but continue with the shots as my doctors tell me that they are harmless and worst case scenario I wasted $15. Some people claim that the shot gives them energy, etc. To be honest...

I have found that doctors vary greatly in their opinion of the value of vitamin supplements. One doctor told me that unless my diet is absolutely horrible, there is no need for supplements. Others have told me that they recommend a multi vitamin such as Centrum Silver. My wife, who is a two...

May I ask how did you treat them to ease the pain? The neck pain extends to over my eyes which is quite painful. Over the counter pain killers do nothing.

Most recently, I have been getting a massage, and trying new places to eat. Also go to the gym helps.

It has become obvious that my wife has suffered some degree of hearing loss and may need a hearing aid. She is scheduled to be tested next week. Just about the only thing I know about hearing aids are that they are not covered by my insurance and are very expensive. Does anyone have experiences...

Mine was accepted exactly one month ago, and still being processed. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2021/03/15/stimulus-check-2021-tax-refund-delay-covid-relief-payments/4693907001/

I miss the physical aspect of being young, it was great being able to eat anything I wanted without gaining weight, of having tons of energy, no aches and pains, no wrinkles, etc. but I would not want to relive it all over again. Too many painful lessons, too many slime buckets along with the...

Ever since I was a kid in high school I have been interested in things like UFOs, Bigfoot, ghosts, etc. yet I can honestly say I have never had any type of paranormal experience (with the possible exception of a beloved aunt coming to me in a dream). As a kid in college, I met quite a few UFO...

I drink about five cups a day. Three in the morning, two in the afternoon.

Any of you guys ever tried it, if so, what results?

Aside from a multiple vitamin, I also take two calcium/Vitamin D pills. I am a male, 65 years old. My doctor did not prescribe it, but is aware that I take it. Anybody else?

My job always required that I wake up early, usually around 4:30 am or so. I never had trouble waking up early, never groggy or anything. Woke up without an alarm clock. I have been retired for more than one year and I am still waking up at that time. Not that I want to, but I am wide awake by 5...

Now that I am retired at age 65, I do something I really never did when I worked, even on weekends: I take a daily nap of less than one hour mid afternoon. Don't get me wrong, I am reasonably active, go the gym four times a week, do chin ups and stuff on local park equipment daily, but I still...

Right now, my traditional IRA only contains Wellesley, was thinking of adding Wellington.

I had planned on moving about $150,000 of my IRA money into Wellesley (I am retired). It is currently parked in a money market fund. My wife said I should wait until the presidental election is over because the market may tank if XXX wins (I in no way wish this to become a politcal discussion...

I currently take Theragran-M (which is now available only in Walgreen's Drugs) upon the advice of my doctor. it does not contain iron, and since i am borderline anemic, I also take an iron pill. My wife also takes Theragran-M, but no iron.

May I ask how often and what benefits do you feel they provide?

I would hold for at least five years. I realize no one has a crystall ball, but, experience and knowledge come into play when decision making. Thanks for reading. Opinions are welcome and appreciated.

Is Tesla a good buy and hold for five years? Or is it overhyped? Opinions please and I thank you.

I know that 99% of what you hear/read on the Internet is about as reliable as the National Enquierer ("Elvis and Liberace Had Torrid Affair") but my wife heard "some financial guy" say that buying Wellesley in a taxable account (not in an IRA) was a mistake. That's all she remembers. It just so...

May I ask, what fund offered by Fidelity would most closely equate to Vangard's Wellesley fund?

There exists a very real possibillity that my wife and I will not have any living relatives or friends to serve as the executore of the survivor's will. I understand that we can retain a law firm to act as the executor of the survivor's will. My question is, let's say I pass before my wife...

May I ask who your carrier is, and any other details you woud feel comfortable sharing?

About the ten years ago the doctor who did my colonostomy advised my wife and I to take a baby asprin daily. He said not just for heart health but that "off the record" he believes it can prevent colon cancer. He advised us to take it on a full stomach. Have been doing it ever since. I told my...

This is an embaressingly basic question, but can someone explain in real simple terms exactly what Treasury Direct is and what I can purchase through it? Just as a side note, many years ago I was attending a seminar by the eccentric millionaire Arthur Jones the man who invented Nautilus...
