    Hello. We toured some WWI battlegrounds and cemeteries todays and had a nice lunch at a Flemish B&B. Weather and the day's subject matter were a little dreary. We are now in Bruges, another pretty...

    We did a lot of walking today, over rough cobblestones. We learned that the city of Ghent was once the second largest city in Europe. They had huge textile mills, for wool initially, then cotton. Now...

    I would be tempted to toss the "blow-out clothes", just sayin'. When we were living in Idaho, we took the kids to Disneyland at Christmas time. The temps were in the 70s and we walked around in...

    Yup, it's been just as rainy as predicted. The dogs are needing a great deal of "encouragement" to go outside. We did some last minute shopping: new phone case for dh and ear buds, some paperbacks to...

    Hey all. Overcast day here, apparently a big storm is moving in tomorrow. It poured last night, just about the time I went out to pick up a pizza, which frankly was very disappointing. Oh well. I also...

    https://wapo.st/4iPfJ0O I am sharing this as a gift link. I understand that in the past it hasn't worked. Tax revenue could drop by 10 percent amid turmoil at IRS Staff cuts and...

    Hi. I'm feeling a little out of sorts. I'm getting a little anxious about getting ready for trip (we fly out Monday night to Brussels, with a layover at Heathrow). Dh is getting anxious, too, but he...

    Nice day here. Did a bit of yard work. Started the taxes. I hope Momo is feeling better soon. When the vet wanted to do an echo on Angus, it would have cost $800, and he was 12 years old. I...

    Do you remember the story I posted about Maine changing policy about getting SS#s for newborns, and then almost immediately changing it back? It seemed odd at the time. Here is another story...

    Trump's DERP State

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

    If Trump is selling candlelight dinners at Mar a Lago at $1million per attendee, is that a Ponzi scheme? Fraud? Bribery? Graft? Did Milton Friedman have anything to say about that? Perhaps...

    Hi. I took MiL to her chiropractor appointment this morning. One of the office staff there was wearing a leprechaun onesie and a green glittery hat. We don't usually celebrate. I guess dh has some...

    Because it reeks of corruption? Of doling out favors to his friends? Sucking up to the guy who is firing VA staff and forest rangers? The guy who says a significant part of my retirement is a Ponzi...

    I believe that Medicare Advantage uses capitation--providers are paid more if their patients are sicker. But some plans may be adding diagnoses, also called upcoding, that a patient doesn't have or...

    During the hearing, one senator brought up up-coding by Medicare Advantage (Med C) programs, and Dr. Oz agreed. Such programs add diagnoses that the patient may not have, so boost reimbursement. One...
