I'm invited to a reunion of people I haven't seen in 40 yrs, go in medieval garb, bring old keepsakes, to recount tales of our "glory days"?
Mind you many of them have maintained their activity in the club through all these years. I have only friend-ed a few through Facebook recently. I have no costume, no anything from that time. I have health issues, I don't know if I want to bolster everything I've got to go. Your thoughts?

3 AnswersGovernment7 years agoTo retired/SSD, full-time RV-ers: What do you do for your medicare coverage?
We have an address for mail, auto & RV location for insurance purposes, but we never actually park there. That location doesn't offer a medicare advantage plan for $0 extra premium & the $48/month is not doable for me financially. I could use an address of a friend in another nearby state I suppose. Any input from you full-timers would be helpful. Thanks.

1 AnswerOther - Family & Relationships8 years agoIs anyone aware of laws against front yard vegitable gardens in your or any other location?
Yes, I heard about the Michigan woman's issue--which seems more about the LOOK of her attempt at raised bed gardening, with too much bare dirt & un-planted beds for her neighbors (who are the ones pushing the issue).

Is there birth control for squirrels available to the public yet?
I know in 2008 they started a study at UC Davis with injections--obviously not something the general public could handle . I'm hoping it evolved into an oral application by now. I just hate that they shoot the cute little critters here in our RV park here in Tampa Bay, Florida. I have one that was shot in the leg now sitting on my hand as he eats. There must be a more humane way of reducing their numbers without having Bubba & his shot-gun out there bein' all redneck about it.

4 AnswersZoology9 years agoAny suggestions on how to get my deposit back from ComCast Cable Co.? Many calls over 6 (!) months?
I'm at a loss as to who to turn to. They just keep delaying & giving me the run-around. Is there an organization I can get help from--maybe an advocacy group to help people like me on Social Security Disability, or a government agency/department who will intervene for me & get my much needed $193 back? My husband was unemployed during the entire 6 months we've been waiting for our deposit back--we really could use the money & I just don't know what to d or who to turn to...
Thanks in advance for your helpful suggestions.

1 AnswerOther - Cars & Transportation1 decade agoTurbo tax says we owe $2900!! My question is about filing married jointly vs. separately.?
I'm on SSD (~$18700, minus Medicare=$17,600, hubby made about $50,000) We took standard deduction as our itemized wasn't high enough. My question is: Since I don't get taxed on my SSD unless "our" income is over a certain amt, would we benefit from filing "married, filing separately"?, would that get around the taxes on my SSD because of hubbies income?--Yes, I could go through the whole process with Turbo tax, but I've been at this for over 8 hrs. just today--there were a few hours just gathering all the info, just to find out it's better to take standard deductions--ARGH!! (oh, sorry for that outburst--I think we all can relate) :) Thanks for any suggestions.
5 AnswersUnited States1 decade agoCan shortwave transmissions from a source relatively close be heard in bits & pieces on a cell phone?
I moved recently to an area where a ham operator (or at least his antenna) lives, oh, about 2 narrow streets away from me. I've noticed in more than one cell phone conversation to a person some 150 miles away the occasional (male) voice with a word or two break into our conversation--though I can't make out what's said, nor do I think it's intentional. I might also add that we both live near several Naval bases and to make it more confusing, though we both live in Florida, our cell phones are still with Arizona phone #'s (yes, we upgrade roaming capabilities --*228--as we travel about). It's not a big issue, I'm just curious.
I've lived near one that broke my wi-fi connect every time he cued up & had to relocate our RV within the park we were at to get past that inconvenience. And I've had the experience of CB-er chat coming through my stereo speakers quite a few years ago when I lived a few blocks away from an interstate--for awhile on that one I was beginning to think my house was haunted--lol.
Just curious, any opinions appreciated.

1 AnswerSoftware1 decade agoFirefox (or Adobe) keeps opening new FF browsers from tabs (NOT new tabs) see detail below:?
Say I have 4 tabs I'm jumping around on, every once in awhile a tab will suddenly open a new browser window & drop down to my start bar (I forget what that's called) Now I have 3 tabs on one FF browser & the 4th tab on it's own FF browser. This just started recently after I downloaded an adobe and/or FF update. I'm not great with terminology so If you know the fix to this please keep it childishly simple. btw, I just downloaded the absolute latest version of FF, and it seems worse. Oh and also, a whole lot of the icons next to my bookmarks went away & are just squares w/little lines (like a sheet of paper?). I'm on a Dell desk top.--Should I try to down load not the latest Adobe or FF but the one before that--if that's even possible? I use my multi tabs a whole lot & this is very frustrating. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
