People actually waste their time going to see this team practice?

Pretty sure the teams spam bots are paying germy some pretty good money to spam a lot in here. After the last half dozen seasons its the only thing that keeps the lights on in here.

until you yourself actually come down with one of the disadvantages that they decide not to cover. Like I said - they make it all seem great with little perks that basically cost them nothing because most people don't take advantage of them. A retirement specialist is warning seniors to prepare now as Medicare Advantage cuts are likely to come during the next year. Bob Carlson, an attorney and accountant who runs Retirement Watch, a monthly newsletter and site on retirement planning, wrote in an article for Forbes that Medicare Advantage plans will be cut as the federal government looks to reduce its spending. Carlson said Medicare Advantage plans tend to be popular because they generally have lower costs if you are healthy and can bundle supplementary insurance and drug coverage options. They also tend to be more profitable with insurers. Still, the federal government is looking to curb its costs by reducing Medicare Advantage options. "Reduced payments to Medicare Advantage sponsors are likely to cause changes in the plans in 2025, such as higher premiums, copayments, and deductibles as well as reduced coverage," Carlson said. "The areas of cuts will vary by insurance company and even down to the individual plans," Fong told Newsweek. "We are either expecting higher copays or lower extra benefits which include health foods grocery, dental, vision, hearing, transportation and any non-Medicare covered benefits." Medicare Advantage Cuts Coming This Year, Retirement Specialist Warns (msn.com) from the linked article - They also tend to be more profitable with insurers. hmmmm, I wonder how those good hearted insurance companies do it?

Far as I know you have no choice but to have the money removed from your ss check and is always a mystery to me why younger folks think medicare is " free". Not only do you or your employer pay in advance your whole working life, but you continue to pay monthly " premiums" until you die once you start to draw ss.

There is a reason that if you watch any television that there are so many medicare commercials with old folks tottering around confused. It is a money making racket. The medicare insurance companies will buy you $50 worth of aspirin or " healthy" foods" a month through special stipends ( while gasp you pay nothing extra other than your approximately $170 a month removed from your social security check ) , but when its time to get that new drug that could save your life or that surgery - good friggin luck. You need pre approval from the insurance company. I know- I have seen it first hand. Traditional medicare is at least up front that they will pay for just about everything except your 20% copay and it is good for any health care facility- no pre approval needed.

Zeke from Cabin Creek. When I went to high school , during the basket ball season the gym teachers would show old 16 mm films of the glory days of WVU basketball - Jerry West and Hot Rod Hundley. Never met the guy but my brother in law who works for the university did and got a couple copies of his autobiography signed - he passed on a copy to my dad and I intend to get it some day. Was actually a pretty interesting story.

You must wear a bib like that baby pic of yours when on your knees in front of tepper.

oh weeee

wow. You know folks on the huddle are desperate when this sort of shi is being used to pump themselves up.

Not only that but just properly maintaining a home is expensive as hell these days and the older you get, the less you can actually do on your own. Unless you have family in the area willing to do it for you, you have to hire someone else to do the work and that is not cheap.

shocking

I can still remember watching that game - one of my favorite all time. It was a prime time game wasn't it?

pretty sure it was his ankles- talking about JStew right?

I would add that his sense of balance was of equal importance. Listen to the commentary about it on these plays by guys in the know https://youtu.be/MN6lbJ8jjkw?t=3

This. I'm not driving 3 1/2 hours each way to watch a shitty team no matter how fancy the stadium is.

I liked the self serve chocolate fountain at golden corral and watching dirty fisted kids put their hands in it.

don't worry PF 69 there's a whole bunch of butt hurt that bryce caused these guys and they'd rather just put fingers in their ears and try to forget about the reaming than have someone bring it up.

dude sounds like he actually knows the game.

I used to have it until they cracked down on shared accounts. I actually paid for it way back when they sent dvd's by us mail.

I like this- first real receiving threat at that position since G Olsen - and he looks faster than Olsen was.

I wonder if Marty Hurney is somehow telepathically sending thoughts into Morgans brain

I thought the same when I saw the thread title and who made it

nice

I was the engineering officer of the watch one time while we were steaming through the Bermuda triangle area when we went cold and dark. One of the younger firemen in the forward fire room had mistakenly left the drain to the deareating feed tank open, before the boiler tech of the watch was able to find and correct it we rapidly began losing water level in the only boiler we had on line and I had them pull fires to avoid catastrophic damage. By that time we had our emergency diesels up and running and it took less than half an hour to reestablish boiler water level check things out and get steam back up. But still some scary times indeed. As far as what the generator was able to power- don't know about merchants but the destroyer I was on had two GM 671 diesels as EDG's and from what I remember they were only able to handle about 60 kw's apiece - barely enough to keep a firepump or two going and get the main plant back up and running. And as someone mentioned what good is steering if you have lost steerageway ? With the size of most containerships the wind is going to be in total control of where it winds up without main propulsion.

Well doctor what did you find ? Sorry sir, you have heart disease and need treatment. Doctor you are always so negative !
