    Sildenafil 50mg for Pulmonary Hypertension

    I got mine a few years ago from Healthwarehouse.com, not as cheap as some of the others suggested but it might be worth a look.

    Almost all of my DW and my friends are people we have met through various clubs or organizations or on group trips. Cycling, kayaking, hiking, skiing etc. we get together not just for events but for dinners and/or parties or to help someone with a project. We recently spent a week skiing with a...

    Credit, Debit, or Cash

    In my area of Connecticut many(most) gas stations charge 10 cents per gallon extra for using a credit card so this is more than my 2% cash back. I make it a point to use gas stations that do not charge the extra 10 cents but it getting harder to find these stations. We try to take the car that...

    80% hit by the airport "random selection"

    I don't think its random at all. Years ago I had a full beard I 'd get pulled aside every single time I flew, without fail. Many times they'd bring me to a room and go through my carryon thoroughly with a full pat down. My DW said they think you're a terrorist! Ever since I shaved my beard and...

    Carvana v CarMax v Vroom

    I've always sold my used cars myself, mostly through Craigslist or online forums for the type of car it was. In all cases I got at least $4500 more than the dealer trade in value and sometimes as much as $7500 more. I keep my cars in good shape, in every case the first person who looked at it...

    Blow that Dough 2024

    DW helped me BTD, she says what are we saving it for? Decided to treat myself -Bought a new bicycle, DW did too. We ride 7-10K miles per year so our 6-7 year old bikes have over 40,000 miles on them. We usually get new bikes at about 50K but things are looking good and we aren't getting any...

    Pickleball Life

    my very active 81 year old MIL injured herself playing pickleball a few months ago. Broke her hip and wrist on the same fall, probably going for a low shot. She said her pickleball days are over.

    Let’s visit National Parks

    I'm missing just 11. I've still got to get to Alaska and Hawaii! My father was a school teacher so we traveled the country each summer with our travel trailer, by the age of 12 I'd been to 43 states. We didn't have much money but we had lots of experiences!

    Amazon offering new prime benefit One medical

    My current ACA plan has Teladoc for a one time fee of about $50 so this could also be used if it's offered by your plan. I used this for a black legged tick bite that I knew I'd just needed a prescription for Doxycycline 200mg (2 days at 100mg) to taken within the first day or two of the bite to...

    Gas vs Electric Clothes Dryer?

    This In the last few years we installed heat pump heating /ac as well as heat pump water heater. The energy savings have been huge. I will look into a heat pump dryer when our 15 year old electric dryer dies. No vent is needed but a condensation line to a drain or connection to a washing...

    Trail/Wildlife Camera

    I setup my own camera server using an old desktop computer running Blue Iris software. No connection to the cloud everything is stored on the local server. I've got 5 hard wired cameras on the house and detached garage. Almost every night I see something. Last night was a huge coyote, an opossum...

    Early Warning on the Economy?

    We found the same. In Sept we found that hotels had increased prices considerably especially on weekends. Even a crappy Microtel in Amsterdam NY that usually costs about $125 per night was charging over $300 for Friday and Saturday nights! We found any area within about 1.5 hours of NYC...

    Gmail Alternatives if Privacy is a Concern

    several years ago I did your option 1) getting through Godaddy. I bought my own URL and use them to host email. I have not setup any webhosting. I do use their MS office outlook email package.

    Tankless water heaters

    Heat-pump water heaters can't be installed in locations that can freeze , but that's also true of traditional resistance heat models. The heat-pump pulls air from its installed location not outside air.

    Tankless water heaters

    I'd suggest a tanked but heat-pump water heater. It's the same size and shape as a traditional tanked electric water heater but sometimes slightly taller due to the heat-pump. You most likely can use your existing wiring/breakers. After the applied state rebate (CT) it was the same cost as a...

    IRS pays 8%

    I don't think so, rates of CDs and short term treasury bills earlier this year were even lower than current rates, I know of nowhere else I could have obtained 8%.

    IRS pays 8%

    This year I filed my taxes on March 15. The IRS didn't send my refund until mid August! They paid me 2.25% interest for being late. Not bad for 5 months from filing date or 4 months from April 15 due date. They never told me why my refund was delayed but I suppose it was due to the large tax...

    Whole house generator and propane supply

    1.5 years ago we installed a whole house Kohler 20kw generator and 1000g LP tank which we buried in the yard with underground lines to the house/generator. We also use LP for backup heat to our heat pump heating for cooking and for an LP fireplace. The difference in cost between 500g tanks and...

    FAVORITE CLASS B RVs?

    Before the Covid RV craze you could buy this unit for $85K. We were looking in 2018 but decided not to buy until we retired in 2020, that was a mistake! Now we don't think the numbers work for us, depreciation is just too much. For how we would use it for we can rent hotel rooms for much less.
