Badger, as for our group, this means we must recruit because if we lose you, where are we? We won't lose you, now, but ... I am old, others are too. We need more members.

If you are about to go, go like my dad 1.5 years ago. He was 90. He had leukemia. He told mom the night before, "I just feel so exhausted." He used a walker about 5-weeks. 
Later that night, she caught him doing squats, bracing himself with his walker. Dad was going to work himself back into condition. Next morning she gets up at her usual 4:30 a.m., she let him sleep in. At 7:30 a.m. she went to awaken him, "Sweetheart, Sweetheart." He didn't respond; dad died in his sleep. Dying in his sleep, was the only comforting thing. 
I live 1,500 miles away. My tenant above my law office died unexpectedly in his bed. The police officer who did the welfare check told me my tenant died with his eyes open. I asked my brother who was present. My dad died with his eyes closed, which was comforting, to me.

Not going anywhere. I'm only 58 - just some bumps in the road brought upon by a bad diet and probably heredity (don't know - I'm adopted). But thank you. And yes, we could use members for sure.

I'm supposed to get my blockages in my legs fixed, starting with the right leg, on Tuesday.

I got a call from the doctor's group (same group who did my hear on 12/10) yesterday evening and they tell me they are out of my insurance network as of 01/01/2025.

WTF?

Do vascular surgeons grow on trees?

Maybe. Don't plan to test, so we'll never know.

Happy Birthday, Jimbo!

Glad you're still with us after all these years!
Missed this too Yes

The Sun is shinning up in the sky,
The lake is filled with Trout,
You were younger yesterday,
I thought I'd point that out.
Happy Birthday

Yes.

We pay a very premium price for BC/BS PPO, and this is what we get.

Shitty insurance since 2009. We (don't) get to keep our doctor.

I got good health insurance pretty cheap as part of my retiree plan, fortunately.

I never understand why some things are billed to me, and some are not.

It costs less to insure me through my wife's retirement plan than it does to insure me through my own company, so we do that.

It's still $650/each/month through her plan (BC/BS from Baxter Healthcare).

Yeah, I know I got a deal.  Somehow.

Well, I'm old so part of mind is Medicare, I recall the fees went down when I hit that point.
