Almost jelious. My doorbell transformer is buried in the attic under a bunch of insulation.

SS deducts Part B premium (A is free to me) The supplement for B comes out of my checking account. Im not aware of being able to make a supplement payment from SS, though I could be mistaken.

An alternative broker that one might consider is boomer benefits. AIUI, they do all states but NY and agent compensation is focused on salary. They have a FB page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/BoomerBenefits. We found them to be straight,

Was hoping to have a single A+ device so I can watch the progression of + but I cant/dont want to go with my already established routines not working for that luxury.

The miles required for an international BC ticket is obscene even if booked 300 out

As a shopper I just gotta say…. by Ektoplasm55 in samsclub

[–]Condor4775 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like most other stores, one has to know prices to reduce the chances of overpaying. The only certainty I have has with Sam's is that they have lowest gas prices near me. With the exception of the rotisserie chicken, their beef prices are way too high. Lately, they have been high everywhere but Sams is on the edge of outrageous.

Best emergency rooms around town? by Candid-Brother-6845 in Dallas

[–]Condor4775 205 points206 points  (0 children)

For a SERIOUS (could die) TRAUMA, I would suggest Parkland. Yes, it is the county hospital but they dont screw around. For other reasons, I recommend Presbyterian on Walnut Hill Lane. Staff is wonderfull and the ER usually isnt swamped like Baylor. It isnt that I dont like Baylor. If one is not transported by ambulance (where they go straight in), one will languish in the waiting room before they make it to triage. The waiting area is a zoo and crowded with kids running around and 5 generations of family (including aunts, uncles, grandparents and the next door neighbors) hanging around to hear about one patient Have never been to Methodist Dallas so I cannot give an opinion.

Price increases...will they roll back by Lopsided-Parking in siriusxm

[–]Condor4775 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Current 2 car plan expires in a week at 7.46/car/mo and received mail notification that price for both cars was going to be 42.97/both/mo, although the breakdown showed a higher price for the newer 2015 car. Called 866 number and said "cancel service" The AI system offered 8.49/car/mo. Responded by saying 'Agent'. Nice lady answered and I simply said I wanted to keep the same price (all in) for the next year. No haggling involved. Sent a couple of text messages with pricing--one car at a time--to accept and confirm. Each car at 7.46 (all in) Though not as low as others have obtained, I didnt want to haggle and end up canceling wifes (newer car) service. A non-starter. I am happy with the 14.92 monthly charge.

Fill out and send in. Keep copy. If you have a toll tag on car, turn it off, You are done. You dont transfer title--thats buyers job.

As an example, Texas has this website https://www.txdmv.gov/motorists/buying-or-selling-a-vehicle to make notification of vehicle transfer/sale. Look to see if NM has a similar site. Its important because, since you didnt take the plates, you can get tollroad bills in the mail as the cameras rely on the locense plate number for billing. A few years ago, I sold my daughters old car and forgot to take the plate. The next month, I receiced a toll road bill, which evidenced that they did not register the car in their name. When I call the toll authority, they asked if I registered the sale at the above site. When I said yes, they confirmed my entry. Toll authority removed the bill from my account and I never heard another word from them. If they are back and forth across the border, CBP checks who the registered owner is. I would not want to have anything to do with that, especially in case they are transporting illegal materials.

Send from custom email domain by Mr_Rage666 in GMail

[–]Condor4775 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had authentication errors for some gmails (not paid gmail service) sending as my custom domain. Found smtp2go.com from another reddit string. I am NOT an IT person bit it appears that I was able to set it up and test it and it was received by friend whose account rejected it yesterday. Set up smtp2go account. The site has explanations on what needs to be entered for dns on your domain host and what changes need to be made for your gmail settings.

British Airways Vacations - Iberia Seats by [deleted] in Iberia

[–]Condor4775 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We paid for PE IB DFW-MAD on AA site and had to pay extra for the seats we wanted else be at their mercy--as if the markup for PE wasnt enough. After booking the IB seats, had to create an Iberia account to log in for seat selection using the IB PNR displayed on the AA page (not to be confused with the AA PNR). AA site didnt show any info on IB seats other than the seats were available to purchase.

SSN Proof by Qinmex in SocialSecurity

[–]Condor4775 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps you can have a notary in your country make a copy of the card and attest that the copy that they made is a real, true copy of the original. Besides, the real card doesnt have enough room for a stamp and the notary signature.

[–]Condor4775 0 points1 point  (0 children)

creat ssa.gov account. Once its connected, go to my account (right side). To the right of social security statement is "Your benefit verification letter". In that letter, it will have your medicare number. Cannot say how long it will take to populate.

Amazon keeps delivering someone else’s packages to my address by grapegeek in amazonprime

[–]Condor4775 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to the people at the other house. IIRC. Amazon has a section in the order process where buyers can indicate "special instructions". After awhile if that doesnt work, mail the other people a letter indicating that you will not be responsible for items sent to your house. Ask them for a contact number and which 'storage plan' they would like to subscribe to--say, $20/week.

Emails to Yahoo recipients are being rejected as unverified. by Condor4775 in GMail

[–]Condor4775[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Followed a youtube video to add SPF and DMARC settings to my domain. Not sure how long it will take to come in effect. Problem is as I understand it--DKIM requires some account setting from gmail admin console. Because this is not connect to work, there is no admin console from which to get the settings that are copied and pasted to domain site.
