Coffee anyone ?

Car is home. That rascal started right up but still think electrical & from heater source. Had trouble a week ago with no heat. Had turned it on a couple miles before it shut down...smelled something like elec burn. Yeah....that's first to be checked. Anyway, it'll get found & fixed. At least nice weather I'll relax & work thru it.

Now, get ready & go to work!! glad that I can.

I'm glad it started for you. Hope you figure out what's wrong quickly and it's not an expensive fix.

Made it home before 10:30 last night. Once again, no pat downs at the airport, I could get used to that. Hubs woke me up around 6, not too bad. It could have easily been 3am, due to the time change.

Time to do my regular chores and see what's on hubs agenda. His is always bigger than mine...lol

Have a lovely day all!

Yeah, I get not wanting to pay that much extra for "might need"... I knew I was going to have the ankle replaced... waited to go on Medicare to do it because my ins at work had a 6,000 deductible to start... and our ins lady with work and I sat down and looked at plans... and what she put her husband on when he retired and then had his knee replaced... and it costs more, but I liked not having co-pays and all this stuff... might change it in the future as it goes up every year, but to me it has been worth the extra to walk in a dr office and just hand them the cards and then not have to worry about any bills or anything after that... Mine is BC/BS as it offered the best price for the plan at the time... Might need to do more research for it for next year...

None of them will cover the SAAT for the alpha gal allergies from the tick bites... even though it is approved by the NIH as the ONLY treatment that has shown to have any effect for the Alpha gal tick disease...

Unfortunately, the Advantage plans have a bad rap for not being accepted by alot of the medical groups... But then @Mini Horses went from paying for a supplemental policy she NEVER used and went to an Advantage plan and has done great with it and the reduced costs... but she never gets sick or goes to the dr so it is perfect for her.....

BCBS wasn't available here. I could have chosen United or AEtna, but they were $140 versus $80 for AFLAC, and not that much different. I rarely go to the doctor, so $720 extra annually for a premium could pay a lot of copays.

Agree totally....

This beauty greeted me when we got home. Started it from seed. It's a hardy hibiscus, so it will get planted somewhere in the yard when it warms up. Hibiscus is my favorite flower.

Moved it upstairs. It's fully open here.

Hibiscus from seed!! WOW

Hibiscus from seed!! WOW

It was an experiment. I tried 9 seeds in my aero garden and only one sprouted. I didn't know if it would bloom or not.

And...other than dental & vision, OTC $, still never used ANY of doctor coverages.. I'm with BCBS and get an $80 payback, which reduces premium pd. Annuals & dental/ vision have no co pays. Yes, higher out of pocket, co pays not bad, no RX. I have no other supplemental health ins. It's about what we feel comfortable with...what we know our needs seem to be. I'm ok with my choices. I haven't had a prescription in almost 30 yrs. I'm pretty healthy I think. One day I'll go for a check up & see
