60+ year old thread.

Things are cloudy and muggy and off and on rainy. One hellva spring we've had Sue. The girls doing okay?

I don't have Tricare, but I do have benefits for life from the company that I retired from. Traditional Blue Cross, prescription, dental, eyecare and hearing. They don't pay all, but any little bit helps.

 

Morning all:
Same here Ken, been a crazy spring this year.
Looked up Tricare, don't you need to be active or retired military to be able to have access to that?

HI Sue!!!!

 

I qualify for this thread, won't say how old I am but my great grandson is staying with me this weekend.

 

Hi 60's/wannabes/Susan. Wife and I got hooked on another word puzzle game -- how many words can we make out of 7 letters. Letters change every day, and you get to see how many words you missed the day before. Fun, I think?

Weather is completely wonky here. Forecast said rain for yesterday, so of course we spent the whole morning and half the afternoon working in the sunlit yard. I took a break, then went back out to chop down some !@#$%^ bamboo, and rain started falling -- hard -- out of a sunny sky. Today it rains, stops, gets sunny, rains. Lather rinse repeat. I look at the national radar and see that parts of western PA/MD, and eastern WV, have getting rained on for the last 24 hours or so. Must be pretty soggy there!

I think a lot of the federally funded plans are like that. Medicare is like that; it comes second to my employer-provided plan.

I've been shopping for health plans for a few months. I turned 65 in May, got my Medicare card. But when I retire I'll be completely on my own; no employee plans, no nothing besides Part A. I don't know yet what we'll end up with but I'm certain it's not going to be cheap.

Welcome to the thread! Pull up a chair, or a rocker if you can find an empty one. Cooler's over there, new member fills it. Doesn't much matter what you fill it with -- somebody here will like it.

 

Now lets see: If you got married at 18, your son or daughter got married at 18, and your grandson/granddaughter got married at 18, and your great grandson is 2, you may not be old enough! You can't fool us!!!!
Never mind:::::: Welcome to the porch!

 

Actually I would qualify for the next decade up, lol. Great grandson is 5.

 

There are a few of us on here that are in the next decade up!

 

I am in the next decade up, but do not have any great grandchildren........yet.

 

Whew! Glad all the calls and political ads for now will be over. Mailed in my ballot a few weeks ago, nice not having to drop in the old school house less than a mile away. That was tough walking right up and voting, no waiting.

Several here on the porch haven't moved lately, do I need to call 911?

Tell them it’s their turn to do the chores.
Mainly dishes.
Watch the dust storm...

 

Huh? Wah?

 

We like to think we are doing our part toward energy conservation.

 

Morning all:

Nah, it's just nap time!

Just got back from the river, lost a small walleye at the boat, caught 1 small striper, and had a heavy fish get under the boat and cut the line.
Didn't see what it was, but if it was a walleye it was a good one!

 

Welcome to the thread and post up a few pics of the Tacoma.

Almost there myself. I turn the Magic Number in August.

Nap time for most of us.


Went to my first concert in over 10 years. A lot has changed in that time.

 

Good morning Susan and gang. Out on a field trip with the Native Plant Society yesterday. Few pics, can you spot the dogs?
