I thought when the time came, I would enroll in Medicare Advantage, but lately I've seen some scary articles and stories about denial of claims under that plan.

My wireless mouse suddenly spazzed during work today and now I'm limping by with a lame wired mouse.

I know I have regaled you with stories about a cousin-in-law who verbally abuses her stepson (the 12-year-old son of my cousin Chad). She also verbally abuses Chad.

I may have mentioned, in passing, that I was passed over for a birthday invitation for their first daughter a year ago, and this happened again this year for their one-year-old. But, Chad texted me and invited me. I went, I was pleasant, I brought wine for the parents and a present for the little girl.

Two weeks ago, I was surprised to receive an invitation from Chad's wife for their first daughter's third birthday. I accepted immediately.

One week ago, I wished Courtney (Chad's wife) a happy birthday online. She placed a heart under the greeting.

This week, I find I have been "unfriended" by Courtney. In fact, everyone related to, or friends with Chad, has been unfriended. She has left him (again) and taken her butt and her two daughters to her mother's.

Chad built them a beautiful home on a gorgeous property three years ago. She has told him the house is a dump and she cannot live there. She was raised in a trailer!!! I have nothing against trailers, but...there is such a thing as "trailer trash", and Courtney seems to have joined that esteemed group

Courtney hates his son (says he ought to be with his mother even though she always acted like she loved him before she had her first child), refuses to have anything to do with Chad's mother (my cousin Debra), and is generally a major bitch.

I don't think I've left anything out, except that she thought she was going to change Chad's interests and lifestyle (he's a born hunter) and berates him for everything he does without her, althought she, herself, is out and about all day spending money on clothes for the two children, never cooks or cleans. Chad does that all. I have also learned that she has been squirreling away money, paying $1,000 in checks to her mom over several months. Chad cancelled all his credit cards and gives her money to spend in the form of a check every week. He gives her $500 for groceries and other expenses. She pays no bills, has no mortgage and she claims he is treating her like dirt.

WTF'ingF??

The pain is bad so there might be a sprain or muscle tear. If I feel this way tomorrow, I may head to an ER.

Oh, no!

I’m not often here in the evenings, but I felt it my solemn duty to get online to say that the Mahler Sixth is playing on the syndicated FM radio program The New York Philharmonic This Week (hosted by Alec Baldwin), and one Maestro Alan Gilbert is taking the Adagio before the Scherzo.

You read that right. The ADAGIO before the SCHERZO.

I don’t know whether this is a commercial release or a live performance recording (they run both) because I came in right after the piece had started. No matter. Hearing it this time just proves the folly.

And that is the repor. Please don’t shoot the messenger. Your loyal servant, over and out.

It sounds like you should do just that, DR Elmore.

I am very sorry to hear about the woes of Chad and his children

DR RON PULLIAM I am happy to read about your hearing success....vibes that they help you.

I am horrified to read about your near relative and his children under the control of someone who seems completely unhinged.....

Vibes that something good will prevail.

Happy to read about Mr BK's SS success.

I am not an expert - but I will say that I am very happy with my Humana Part C plan.....it covers many things and I am giving a small monthly allowance to spend on food, every three months I get a stipend for health supplies such as vitamins and supplements, and I get $500 every six months for hearing, eyesight, and dental services.

From all I've heard, you want to stick with the Medicare provided plans, not the ones from private insurance companies. I'm still on my wife's insurance so my research is incomplete.

George · « **Reply #138 on:** May 08, 2024, 11:17:09 PM »

Well, rehearsal went well, and notes were given...none for me.

George · « **Reply #139 on:** May 08, 2024, 11:18:01 PM »

My cousin John (from Oregon) called just as we were about to start the run, so I asked if he could call me at 11:00, but he hasn't called yet, but hopefully he will soon.

So, this isn't good:

MAD AD Furious Amazon Prime members complain app is ‘out of control’ after controversial update and say it’s ‘now worthless’

Some said the cost is no longer worth the ads.

I suspended my Amazon Prime account, but didn't cancel it (yet).

George · « **Reply #142 on:** May 08, 2024, 11:27:07 PM »

I can wait (and have waited) to order at least $35 of products to get the free shipping, and the two-day shipping was a convenience, but was never really necessary.

George · « **Reply #143 on:** May 08, 2024, 11:30:05 PM »

It won't be a great hardship to cancel Amazon Prime, but I think I'd lose SAMI and everything else I purchased. $:-\$
