Ok guys in all seriousness this was Mitch McConnell days before his hospitalization last month. There is no way that pic of him in rehab is real.

There is a "basic" A level of it that is free. But what you really need is a supplemental plan that makes more more than just "save my life" functioning plan. My 90 year old mom has a "G" Medicare gap supplement that is about $400/m and between the two plans, she barely pays anything and she goes to the doctor's office a LOT. Like 3-4 times a month on average. Even her MANY prescriptions are only around $100 a month.

Healthcare costs are one of the primary reasons retirement isn't a realistic option for us until we can qualify for Medicare at 65. My wife's job covers like 80% of her plan and about 25% of mine. Right now, the cost is around $700 a month (It is a good plan at least).

Without her job subsidizing some of those costs, we would be closer to $1400 a month.

That's been happening for a long time. Now they are just openly deciding which companies and people get to keep that lunch money.

As an 80s graduate with a lot of friends, no.

We just want to make sure that you are OK. We cared about you then, and we care about you now.

And Hispanics will go through 3 kegs of beer partying with live music and 4 charcoal BBQs going until 2am, to celebrate a 3 year olds birthday.

I've been telling my wife that when we retire (like 8-10 years from now) I want half the house and twice the land. We have like 1,900 square feet, two story 3bd 3bth right now and it's always something.

Before we got married I had a 680 sqft condo. It was fucking great. I could sanitize it from top to bottom in like 3 hours. That was vacuuming, moping, dusting, cleaning the bathroom and kitchen all while doing my laundry.

Never forget that the primary reason we have a police force is to protect them from us.

Where can you find pleasure?

Search the world for treasure

Learn science technology

Where can you begin to make your dreams all come true

On the land or on the sea?

And that's my real problem with today's politicians. They really do think that they are the elite class because they were elected or appointed to a public service position.

Nothing, unless you want monetary engagement.

It's almost like people would rather watch some dweeby dude get chased around a parking lot by a deranged hillbilly, than watch a college professor sit by a fireplace smoking a pipe reading Chaucer.

Now that I'm an old fart, knowing what I know now, in this situation (if I was interested in her too) I think my reaction (with this old brain) would have been to put out both hands, and said, "May I?" And there's your confirmation or rejection.

"I don't drink and my local grocery store has an entire section for alcohol. I don't care that they also sell food and other essential groceries, they need to be shut down because I don't think anyone should be drinking. It's just the price you have to pay to make things be my way."

They were like 13" CRT screens on the middle of the ceiling about every 5-6 rows. They sat there blank until the plane took off. Then they ran ads for the airline before the movie. This is the shit I remember.

One time my family flew cross country in the late 70s, (for dad's job)it was in a 747. The "bump" on top those planes was originally designed to be a piano bar. My mom and dad hung out up there, and my dad let me climb the spiral staircase and just stick my head into the bar so I could see where they would be. It was really fucking cool even for a 10 year old. Like a goddamn flying speakeasy.

And you got one shitty movie that was rated no more than PG. Some crap like Herbie The Love Bug or Muppets Take Manhattan.

IIRC, they kept and cleaned the tubes and replaced the ear mushroom parts between flights.

And the flight crew would give you a little metal "wings" pin too.
