I'd love to know how Whitestick and his DW, and DLHansen are doing. Hopefully they are all fit as fiddles and too busy to keep us updated. Still, I wonder!:blush:

I would like to get your opinion regarding the wisdom of cancer insurance in my situation. DH is a retired career teacher in a second career. When he no longer works full time and we need to get health insurance thru the teacher's retirement plan he will receive a reduced health insurance...

Just wondering if anyone knows how either of the guys is doing. Seems like a while since we have heard from them.:blush:

I am curious to know if anyone here has psoriasis or has a loved one who does. My dermatologist has suggested home phototherapy and I was hoping someone can offer their experience. TIA:)

Not sure if this topic would go in "Other" or not but here goes. In relation to the "Change in at-home cash reserves?", since most of you don't have much in the way of cash at home, how about food? Ziggy mentioned that in a Mad Max scenario cash would not have any more value than credit...

I would love to know if others here have upped the amount of cash reserves they keep stashed in their $30 Sentry fire chest. We currently keep $1000, give or take, but we are wondering if we should up it a bit. I know this was discussed some time ago but maybe there are those here who have...

Just wondering, as I'm sure are others, how the two of you are doing? I am hoping you guys are able to stay as positive as is humanly possible. Thinking of you both.

I haven't the least idea why I am about to confess this but here goes; I find farts funny. I laugh every time. Every. Single. Time. I enjoy low-brow Animal House humor of every type. If I am depressed I watch the Tourettes scene from Duece Bigelow. If I am REALLY depressed, I go to Youtube and...

In 1987 we had a pressure treated wood deck installed and it needs to be replaced. I have composite decking in mind but I have heard a lot of negatives regarding them. People had issues with mold and fading and I would like to avoid either. I would appreciate any input you might care to give...

My 28 year old unmarried son recently lost his job in the hotel industry and was fortunate enough to find a great job with a medical supply company. He will be able to start contributing to a 401k in January and has asked for help in choosing the fund to invest with. I am hoping that those here...

Picked up a Wii Fit a couple weeks ago. I've been walking for a half an hour four days a week since April and find walking on ice-covered sidewalks problematic.( The problem is splatting!) After reading numerous positive reviews on Amazon, I bit the bullet. It may not be up to snuff for the...

A year from now, DH and I must choose from one of three medical providers when he retires from his second career. If we were to choose Kaiser, it would save us nearly $300 a month and lessen our financial exposure since our out of pocket expenses would be minimal. Our concern is that the care...

I am looking to move my small traditional IRA from my credit union to Vanguard. I am 54 and estimate I will need to begin disbursements in perhaps 10 years. If you were me, with what you know, in which fund/s would you put the money. I am moderately conservative. Thanks for your opinions in...

I would be very interested to hear how others feel a doctor's bedside manner influenced their illness for better or worse. Twelve years ago I had a very bad health scare. An ultrasound given to determine a cause for my high blood pressure, found tumors in my liver. I had a cat scan, what seemed...

Does anyone know whatever happened to Old Age Pensioner (OAP)? I haven't seen him here for a long time and I remember he was sick. :confused:

Hi all! I am a 50+ year old SAH wife and mother and I have been in charge of the family finances since my DH and I married. While early on we did not always make wise choices, we now have a paid for house, and a COLAd pension of $4000 a month. We have fully paid for the education of two of our...

Does anyone know if OAP is alright? I haven't seen him on here for ages and hope he is doing well.

I stopped by CVS this late this afternoon. While waiting for my prescription to be filled, I noticed a man about 35 or so in a power wheelchair driving back and forth in front of the doors. He was all bundled up and was covered in a heavy blanket. When I stepped outside, he powered over and...
