  1. Just left the dentist after a cleaning. When it was time to pay she told me todays visit was covered. I lost my dental insurance when my wife retired, so I ask how that was possible. She said that when I had a crown put on 4 months ago I overpaid and had a $400 credit on my account. "Do you want us to send you a check?" No just keep the money in your bank account and use it for operating capital. It's the 3rd time it's happened in the last 5 years. My PT had overcharged me almost $800 and kept it quiet for 4 months until a office person told me about it and an MRI office kept $350 for almost 11 months before sending me a check. Now I just ask when they'll settle with insurance so I can call and get my overpayment back.
  2. Abilene. We've never had this problem in all the years we've been here. But there have been some pretty serious prairie fires all around us over the years. The Carbon fire and Cross Plains from a few years ago killed people and tons of livestock.
  3. LOL. I did. She kept saying well if you want to stay home and monitor the situation we can. I told her hell no I felt like eating a burger, which just made her madder.
  4. This was looking at the end of our street a couple of years ago. It was about 2.5 miles from the house and the wind was blowing it our direction. She couldn't understand why I thought it was a good idea to pack the vehicles in case we had to leave in a hurry. Because prairie fires move so slow....
  5. This fire is about 4 miles from my house. The smoke is moving directly over our house. My wife is pissed because I haven't taken her to dinner
  6. You can't be dissing the stuff that help us kill all those brain cells......
  7. My parents died when I was young. They had bought 3 funeral plots in case I went before them. Since I didn't and had other plans, my aunt asked me if she could be buried next to my mom (her sister). I told her that was fine by me, but asked why didn't she want to be buried next to her husband. She said "When JESUS calls me out of the ground, that SOB (her husband) is the last person I want to see."
  8. I had to get a CT done on my shoulder today. Between the two old deaf guys screaming their maladies and aches at each other and the other talking with the speaker on her phone I felt very surly.
  9. Yeah, I probably won't wave.
  10. We'll wave at you as we're on our way up.
  11. How in the hell can this even be the same woman?
  12. My daughter volunteers to help upkeep neglected cemeteries. She always reminds me of this and believes markers and tombstones are a tribute and reminder for the common man/women. I really can't disagree with her, though I know I'm the only one that ever visits my mom and dad's grave.
  13. I told a funeral saleswoman (who was trying to sell me a prearranged funeral) that my wife could put me in a garbage bag and set me on the corner for the truck to carry me away. Also my wife is a retired teacher so she is not entitled to any of my Social Security. So I told her to buy a new freezer, fold me up and put a lock on it so she could keep collecting my SS checks. I travel all over the backroads in the state. Every 5 miles there is a sign pointing to a cemetery down a dirt road that hasn't been visited in 20 years. After your kids are gone, no one is going to stop by anyway, so who cares where your carcass ends up?
  14. I will quit complaining about my wife being on Facebook for 3 hours a night and appreciate the silence.

    Gym Pet Peeves

    I've seen/heard people use their phones while sitting at a machine and even on the commode. But today was the first time I ever heard someone on their (speaker) phone while they were taking a shower.
  16. I'm not too sure Jerry would care about media that might come back to bite him.....
  17. So does anyone else have an automatic blood pressure cuff on or within reach of the kitchen table?

    Getting old sucks

    I thought you were singing about this...
  19. Completely understand. I still like having cash in my pocket even though I usually charge everything from a store. There's still a lot of guys who like to be paid in cash and will deal with you on the cost of work/things.
  20. Must be an old guy thing. Most guys I know keep a wad of cash on hand for emergencies. Myself included.
  21. Same here. I get all kinds of deals paying cash. I don't really care if my mechanic pays tax on it if he knocks 30% off the deal.

    Getting old sucks

    When I got my first "finger" exam, my fairly young, female urologist said " Now comes the unpleasant part, please bend over". I told her that the most unpleasant part was probably her view.

    Getting old sucks

    When I was 14, I weighed 300 lbs. As soon as I started playing HS football I dropped 60. In college I hit 185. 45 years later I'm at 190. I watched a lot of family gain weight and die of weight related problems. If you put on 3 lbs a year, in 20 years your 60 lbs overweight, so my goal is to stay close to the same weight as I age. I don't stick to any specific workout or diet, I just do what I feel like to keep my weight constant. A lot of walking and old man (light) weights now.
  24. Lol. I just not fond of Snyder. And there are some amazing views when you get off the beaten path if you like high plains and vista's. Highway 207,from Post to I40 has some great scenery as do a lot of the highways up there. They're just not the quickest way to get anywhere. Last time I came back from Panhandle I saw 3 cars in 60 miles and I got to drive through the southern end of Palo Duro canyon.
