    :plane: Happy Hangar Day Porch Pals and Sue! Back to the old engine.

    Didn't like that one Sue. You're GP should be able to phone in what you need. If not, the original person doing the Rx. I did this once after switching suppliers, easy. :fingerscrossed:

    So far, no friends or relatives involved! Been a long time since the big M43 tornado. Best to you!

    Social Security is a great program. It's no different than contributing to a 401K or any other retirement account. It's no different than having a pension you can contribute to when working for a business. It's nuts to threaten ending SS, especially with people that have been contributing their entire lives and are owed the return promised. I don't care how much a person makes or how successfully they have accumulated a retirement nest egg... no one with a brain wants to see elderly people dying in gutters and forced to end their days begging in the streets.

    And that's OUR fault. We have a broken system because we don't hold people accountable for doing their jobs and instead support the divisions that keep them from it.

    Until the public becomes interested in doing what's right, we can't expect those making the decisions (or avoiding the decisions) to do anything except trying to keep their jobs by showing how much they hate the other side and refuse to work with them.

    Curtis & Leroy bought a mule for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the mule the next day. The next morning the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry, fellows, I have some bad news, the mule died last night."
    Curtis & Leroy replied: "Well, then just give us our money back." The farmer said: "Can't do that. I went and spent it already." They said, "OK then, just bring us the dead mule." The farmer asked, "What in the world y'all gonna do with a dead mule?" Curtis said, "We gonna raffle him off."

    The farmer said, "You can't raffle off a dead mule!" Leroy said, "We shore can! We don't hafta tell nobody he's dead!" A couple of weeks later, the farmer ran into Curtis & Leroy at the Piggly Wiggly grocery store and asked. "What'd you fellers ever do with that dead mule?"

    They said: "We raffled him off like we said we wuz gonna do." Leroy said: "We sold 500 tickets fer two dollars apiece and made a profit of $898." The farmer said, "Didn't anyone complain?" Curtis said, "Well, the feller who won got upset. So we gave him his two dollars back."

    Curtis and Leroy now work for the government. They're overseeing the Bailout & Stimulus Programs.

    Good Morning :hattip:

    Crazy severe weather here in Middle Tennessee . My area is under a level 5 severe weather threat . So far this morning there's been numerous severe t storm warnings and these t storms are almost stationary

    The thunder is so loud it's shaking the house and the lightning is insane . It has quieted down some but in the last half hour it's starting to pick up again

    Yep, I'm more curious if BJ's is a grocery or department store. The receipt I found was accurate. When I turned 18 I purchased a hospitalization policy for around 14 dollars a month it came in handy the night before I got married. I ended up being taken to the ER with food poisoning and admitted with no guarantee I would be discharged before the wedding. I was very dehydrated and my wife was busy making backup plans to have the wedding moved to the hospital chapel just in case. I was discharged 1.5hrs before. That little policy paid for the stay I was very impressed. Just starting out.

    Sorry to hear that, we see many of those same storms pass by out west here but at that point they're usually just strong winds, sometime gale winds but rarely any moisture. I just wanted to say, it's been seriously windy here, keep your head down and I hope you guys don't see any more damage.

    Well today our port of call is Icy Point Alaska. Never been here before. I can see why icy is in the name. . It’s cold , windy and about to rain. It’s a beautiful but definitely wouldn’t want to live here.
    Cruise life as always is wonderful. The food is beyond fabulous, great entertainment and lots of things to do. My wife is having a massage, facial and manicure this morning. I’m sitting on our balcony drinking coffee and watching the world go by.
    Time to go, gotta get back to drinking my coffee.

    I've never done or really considered cruising as something I would like to do. That being said when I was in Florida I really enjoyed sitting on the porch on the beach drinking my coffee and watching dolphins swim by. That never gets old.

    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    Hope it all goes around you. It's been a rough spring so far.

    Last night, I thought we were going to get some thunderstorms as the skies to the west were lighting up like the 4th of July. It all fell apart before it got here.

    All this weather.... Summary for tomorrow at this moment.
    • Only 30% chance of rain.
    • But, we're all under ELEVATED threats of tornado, 2"+ hail, and strong winds.
    • Or not.

    :plane: It's a happy day when parts come off.
    Took a small cutoff saw by the chief, then I opened up that dang nut like an onion.
    And, it gave up parts!

    The sleep doctors office also confirmed that I needed to see him to get a new prescription for Medicare. I had seen one of the other doc's in October.... I use my cpap every night. I have only not used it once in 2 years. AHI is usually less than one.

    Yup, exact same thing

    I'm looking for the items I need on line to get me through. Shouldn't be an issue, just annoyed that it took them so long to tell me.

    You can't find other doctors to use? Thanks, Philip.

    :wave: evening Kurt. Don't like it either, but rulez is rulez!! :rolleyes: o_O

    :jellydance::jellydance: enjoy
