    oooooo! Miracle Cures! I don't see them since I use the brave browser. Wonder what they are? But over on the book of faces, I keep getting BlueChew Gold adds. Those are useless because I'm not taking anything with side effects that might cause leg cramps or pain!

    My polite yet grumpy email helped. I was given the number to call, and a nice girl at the Ortho place sent the orders, then called and scheduled the appt for the MRI while I waited. It happens next tues morning, and then I meet with the NP/PA back at the ortho place on Friday morning,

    Well, the Ortho practice is driving me nuts today. Heard back from the gatekeepers at the practice.... Getting an MRI request taken care of normally takes 7-10 business days... for someone to call you and tell you what is next... That tells me they don't want to lose the insurance money, and...

    Does anyone use a 1/2" sheet of glass for a work bench?

    Mine is a green "self-healing" safety cutting mat. 20x24 inches (Going by memory, size might be different). On top of the walnut of an old-style oak L-shaped office desk.

The employers pay the same toward the plan no matter which one we choose. I just turned 62. It would be nice to get on single payer (Medicare isn’t quite single...

    It's not a "NO X,Y or Z" - We have to have all the hoops jumped through to trigger it. A LOT of plans have moved that way in the past few years. The ACA made insurance more expensive, and the other side's counterpoint lessened some of the restrictions, but costs didn't come down for the...
