Before Medicare, I paid $1500 for a mid-tier Kaiser plan. It had a $6000 annual deductible which I kept in a tax deductible Health Savings Account. For the most part, I paid for routine stuff like vaccinations, yearly checkup and bloodwork, meds like statins, and a bid discount on stuff from their pharmacy. With Medicare, I pay $185 to the US Government and $199 to Kaiser for their Advantage plan.
I always thought it was named after Maynard G. Krebs. [you rang]
I wonder to this day what happened to mom’s Lladro figurines and the Royal Dalton tea cups. I’m sure my sister got Nana’s sterling and Mom’s plate. It’s really sad that the Danish modern furniture had to go before she moved up here but she was happy with IKEA and CostPlus replacements.
I got her pots, which was all that mattered to me. There’s something symmetrical in making Boeff Bourguignon in the same pot you learned to make beef stew at age 14.
Back in the mid-80s, when I got an email from HR about the Christmas Party at the local office, I sent a reply to the district HR manager complaining that not everyone in the company celebrated Christmas. Later that day, another email came out announcing the Holiday Party. So glad I had a hand in educating HR.
I’d love for some enterprising IRS auditor to find out what churches she appeared in, then send each of them an audit notice letter. They’ve lost their IRS tax exemption.
Old Chemists never die. We just fail to react.
Tried to unsubscribe at start of the year when they added commercials to Prime Videos. Wouldn’t let me cancel. I could set my subscription to NOT RENEW but I could not cancel it and get a pro-rated refund. So I’ll keep it until December with it constantly reminding me how much I save on postage with Prime. Won’t really change my usage patterns. I’ll just group my purchases until shipping is free. No more 50lbs of cat litter drop shipped overnight for $2.50.
Is it my imagination or are these dim-witted assassins getting easier to catch. Trump didn’t even get to bandage his ear this time.
I wonder if the owner is booking a flight to a non-extraditable country or if he’s going to go private.
I predict the deceased’s executor will have to sue Wells Fargo for their last paycheck. They’ll claim they were working the full 4 days since they were found. And entitled to overtime since they’re hourly rather than salaried.
Lovely little utility.
Shut up and take my money.
I wondered when she’d do it.
I hope the insurance carrier that covers this school district sends them a letter saying that their anti-litigation insurance will be cancelled in the coming year. And because they failed to “take steps to decrease bullying”, all litigation claims until then will have a $10,000 coverage cap.
This should make enterprising attorneys quite enthusiastic to find students who’ve been buillied. I’m sure there’s at least 1 trans kid out there.
40 years ago at UCLA, I had to do my FORTRAN programs on punch cards submitted through the batch system. The CS/Math department (no CS department then), only offered 1 section in FORTRAN with 40 others in PASCAL. And it was taught by an Engineering professor. Why would a Chemistry major take a computer science class? Remember all those shiny machines CSI uses to do forensic analysis? They came from chem labs.
Didn’t hear what she had to say but a friend said is was definitely going to be the basis of SNL’s cold open this weekend.
“Straight boys are so clueless when someone is flirting with them.”
7 second pause.
Blink Blink. Stammer. “Ummm.”
