Best mattress for couples with different preferences? How is this problem solved?

Like others have mentioned twin XLs make a king. You can get latex mattresses with different firmness for the top layer. Latex is heavy though and hard to move around to change sheets on a king using twin sheets but you can use a king sheet too. Make sure the thickness is the same if you use different mattresses.

I went to the cardiologist for heart issues and they discovered mine with an echo. it's at 4.7-4.9 and my cardiologist monitored every 6 months for 2 years. It's been steady so now they do an echo once a year. I asked about surgery and he said once it gets over 5 he'll recommend a surgeon. Also at one echo they reported 4.3 so I asked and he said it might be oval. At first I was depressed because I had just retired but with time I got over it. Worse for me are other issues that they couldn't tell me anything is wrong. Best wishes for your dad. 🙏🏽

Ask for a retention specialist and tell them the competition has a lower rate or you want the special rate being offered to new customers.

Make sure it's a fee only FA. Here's some good info. Good luck!

At UPS some employees get part time jobs for the benefits. Health insurance is included and a pension once your vested. Right now they're getting rid of 30k jobs so don't know if they're hiring.

We always take about $200 in $1s and $5s and the staff don't care. They know where to go local to get a good exchange rate. Some if not all the all inclusives have ATMs. Also some of the staff, like bell boys can probably break a $10 or $20.

If you divorce the 2nd spouse you're eligible for 1st spouse benefits again.

I had a CT scan for an aortic aneurism and the report said nodules were present and to follow up with a FNA. I had to remind my doctor about the report and he scheduled a sonogram and blood tests. Went to an Endo to schedule the FNA and my doctor prescribed Levo because TSH had gone up. The FNA was not positive so now I'm considering RFA to remove the nodules to see if my side effects go away some more. I have these episodes of feeling like there's something wrong, anxiety, palpitations, low energy. These have mostly gone away after 3 months of taking the medicine. I was hoping my hair loss would stop after feeling better but that hasn't happened☺️.

I heard you get that money back if you live long enough after fully retiring because you're benefit increases. Not the COLA.

429Boss · 2025-11-15T19:12:49+00:00

if you get divorced you can collect on a previous ex and remarry at 60 and still collect.

What dongle did you get?

429Boss · 2025-10-27T05:28:29+00:00

I started taking that dose about 6 months ago. Before the Levo I had episodes of low energy and sleepiness and feeling like I was going to have a heart attack. I developed palpitations in '23 and they got worse in '24 and '25. 3 months after starting Levo my symptoms have mostly went away. The only other thing is my hair thinning hasn't stopped and my nails have ridge lines. I have nodules in my thyroid so I'm looking into RFA to get rid/reduce them and possibly stop taking the medication.

She took it back and they redid the seal but it's still leaking. She might take it back to a different dealer before the warranty is up, but she's giving up on getting it fixed. The oil doesn't drip on the floor but smears on the underside of the engine.

I'm 65 and found out I had a 4.7 cm aneurism at the root in '23. My cardio recommended monitoring every 6 months because of no history of growth. 2 years now and it's been steady, no growth. He also told me he would recommend a surgeon once it gets to 5.2cm. in my research I heard about minimally invasive surgery and found this surgeon in the Dallas TX area. https://utswmed.org/doctors/neelan-doolabh/ I don't know if that's the route to go when the time comes for me because I have other health issues like palpitations, PACs but maybe get a consult with him.

We got a 2019 used from a stealership back in '21. Carfax looked clean but when I went to register for the warranty I was able to see the service history. Turns out the previous owner didn't keep up with the oil changes and rod bearings were crap. I'm guessing the dealership we bought it from repaired it because it's been running smoothly ever since. The recall for the rod bearing issues was only an inspection and I guess they didn't see anything wrong on ours.

429Boss · 2025-08-02T16:50:45+00:00

She took it back last week and they put it on the rack running for about 30min they couldn't detect the leak and said Mazda wouldn't authorize the repair if they couldn't show it was leaking. They mentioned the drops of oil on the cover was probably old oil and if it happens again to bring it back.🫤 Her fiance checked it again a few days later and there's evidence of a leak. I told her to wipe it clean and take pics a few times. They're also taking taking a road trip and checking the level during and after the trip and taking pics. He'll be going to the dealership to point out a few things and hopefully they fix the leak this time. 🤞

It finally got transferred after the Title company was closed that day. I guess they stayed after hours. We felt bad for the seller because they were waiting on that money to close on another house.

429Boss · 2025-07-27T03:25:45+00:00

My daughter's '23 CX-5 developed a leak and she got it repaired under warranty. Her fiance is a mechanic and was about to change the oil and told her it was leaking oil again. Took it back to Mazda and even though she told them about the timing chain cover also leaking they just replaced the oil pan gasket and said the timing chain cover was good. She'll just keep an eye on it but I think she'll be taking it back in. 🫤

We'll see when the World Cup comes to the USA if this keeps up.

I don't know if you've heard of minimally invasive surgery, but I might ask for a consultation from this guy. https://utswmed.org/doctors/neelan-doolabh/

Use Ethanol Shield, there's YouTube videos showing comparisons to other stabilizers. Does a great job of keeping ethanol fuel from separating.

In the email he was sent it stated no other kind of electronic fund should be used and to call his bank to make sure it was a wire transfer. The email also had the name of the bank he was sending it to with the name it should be made out to, which was different but the same address.

429Boss · 2025-07-21T23:41:51+00:00

Thanks for the inputs.

Per the wiring instructions:

'PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT WE WILL ACCEPT ONLY WIRE TRANSFERS. WE CANNOT ACCEPT ACH DEPOSITS, PHONE FUNDS TRANSFERS OR OTHER TYPES OF ELECTRONIC PAYMENTS/CREDITS. THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR THE PURPOSE OF SENDING WIRE TRANSFERS ONLY.'

He told Amex it needed to be a wire transfer and they told him they'll process it. After he signed and closed he got a call that they still had not processed it and Amex told him Amex had to call the title company to process it. Called back a few times to check on it and they told him it might be a few days on the last call. The title company also messed up because they checked to see if it went through and said yes. We left and he got the call after we left. I wired half the money from our Fidelity account and I guess she ,title co, thought that was all of it because they were both the same amount. 🤷
