    Still gray here, but no rain. Youngest ds and I played online trivia last night and tied for 3rd place. The visual round consisted of scenes from movies made in 2023, and we didn't do so good. Still,...

    Medicare/Medicaid pays a fraction of what private insurance and private pay provide. Hospitals lose money on M/M; they do not profit. We do not have a county hospital or free clinics in the...

    Hi. It's yet another gray, drizzly day. I just got home from running errands: exchanging the cable box, dropping off items left behind at our house on Christmas, pedicure, new mascara to replace the...

    I wonder if Trump's election team is keeping him from situations where he might be challenged to give a cogent reply. A Christian college in Iowa declined to sponsor a Trump appearance in the form of...

    There are employers in my area who pay cash wages to people who have no SSN. So they avoid payroll tax. Tax cheats or clever business owners? And when those workers have health crises, they go to the...

    I enjoyed the opera explanation, too. Mr. Rogers used to say that opera was just telling a story with songs, but how does one follow the story if you don't speak the language? Broadway musicals are...

    Still mild weather here, mid 50s, with spits of rain. The mountains needs snow to build up snowpack, and the lowlands need to re charge aquifers. I don't miss icy sidewalks, though. I did 3 miles...

    True, the article didn't have a lot of evidence. I read of speculation from both critics and proponents. It's good to read that there is a least a licensure requirement to own a firearm in...

    The Trump Thread

    nursej22 replied to Tweety's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics
