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.
That’s a Haggen Daas bar of unknown provenance. NOT a popsicle.
Why did the dinosaur cross the road? Because they didn’t have chickens back then.
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.
Now if it was crunchy peanut butter, I woulda accused the guy of being a pervert.
Lovely little utility.
Shut up and take my money.
Pasolini’s SALO. Images from it corrupt my brain.
Although with the state of both Target’s near me, there’s often stuff out of stock.
peroxide – come on. The last time Target didn’t have peroxide or rubbing alcohol was during the pandemic lockdown. What their excuse NOW?
Hershey’s Almond Nuggets – OK. They’re popular. So if there’s only 1 bag left, you should maybe order more.
t-shirts in my size – the men’s accessory clothing section was a disaster. I don’t know when the last time a sales associate tidied up, but there were underwear sizes all mixed up from different brands (Fruit of the Loom, Hanes, etc.) and quality. I had to buy what I wanted on-line.
It’s gotten so that I don’t trust either of my Target’s to have stuff I buy there on a regular basis.
I disabled History and only see my channel subscriptions. None of the options above appear in my Youtube feed.
I got hit by this AT&T usage cap for internet downloads. I went through 250GB of downloads in less than a month. Most of it was internet backups of a newly installed system. They don’t offer a data tier without a cap in my area so I was stuck paying $10/10GB over that month. Next month I added a $30 unlimited data charge to my bill. That’s OK as I’m consistently going over their cap again due to backups. Unless I buy much more expensive plan from a commercial provider and pay for Fibre installation, I’m stuck.
It’s twoo. It’s twoo.

7 second pause.
Blink Blink. Stammer. “Ummm.”
