My mom and I each lay quietly but sleepless in terror in our beds not wanting to disturb the other ( the Vixter was blissfully asleep in her Graco portacrib)

Holy crap! I have been notified by my HMO that my Medicare premiums are going up $73 next year. At this rate in another two years I will be paying what I paid monthly for health insurance before i turned 65. On a relatively fixed income i cannot afford this and it's disturbing.

Have you looked into a Medicare Advantage program? I pay nothing per month over the $104.90. It includes much of what one would normally obtain from a Medicare supplement plan. Some friends have Secure Horizons and are very happy with it. My plan, SCAN, is a tad cheaper, but only available in California and Arizona.

I had stayed with my HMO because i wanted to keep my doctor, but I may have to reconsider options. I was paying $150/month when I signed up and it's doubled in three years.

Oh, that IS steep. Didn't the doctor you like move to Texas?

I found an insurance agent here who specializes in Medicare. He saved me a lot of time and cost me nothing, as his commission comes from the plan you select. I'd encourage you to look at Medicare Advantage plans. They can be considerably cheaper. The enrollment period begins soon, though, and you can only change plans during that period.

Tomorrow morning I'm getting up off of ye royal arse to do something I haven't done in over a decade: going to a record fair.

In my record collecting heyday (Hey!) I'd get out to one every couple of months. I eventually got out of accumulation mode and those activities fell by the wayside, and for the past several years I've only concentrated on getting rid of a lot of excess. Now I'm enjoying a real vinyl re-appreciation, and while I'm still slimming the collection down to something much more manageable AND meaningful, I will enjoy once again seeing what's out there.

I settled on Chinese and ordered the wrong tofu dish.

Damn.

Well, you said tofu. Therefore, it is the wrong dish.

Good morning, all.

I survived my trip to nine bars over 8 1/2 hours to taste nine barrel-aged bourbon cocktails. It was tough work.

And how was your workday today? ;-)

I lost energy toward the end of the day but I managed to dance for 2 1/2 hours. I need sleep though.

I swear, I do believe Donald Trump and the bigoted fundamentalist Christian idiots following him are the new Nazi party. I always thought he was a vulgar, crass putz but now he and his thugs are beginning to terrify me.

Welcome to Berlin.

That's what I've been thinking while watching Cabaret.

Glad you've made your halfway destination, Vixmom. Vibes for a safe rest of the trip.

George · « **Reply #138 on:** September 18, 2015, 07:35:26 PM »

Well, it's later than when I should've left work, but I wanted to finish up some talking book orders, so I did.

George · « **Reply #139 on:** September 18, 2015, 07:36:22 PM »

And now, I'm going home.

Be back later.
