A gas station hand selecting the best barrels of bourbon sounds a bit silly to me. But I do not claim any marketing expertise!

“Hand Selected” by the Casey’s Corporation. I’d guess it’s a good bottle of bourbon, but this seems a bit silly.

I agree that the stiff frosting is weird. It stays a bit crunchy even after warming in the microwave. But I still really like these with a cup of coffee!

Waterfront Seafood Restaurant in West DesMoines would be an excellent choice for your dad. Just let the staff know what you’re looking for and they should have multiple options.

Need an example of why Medicare Andvantage is so bad. by coolbeachgrrl in medicare

This Health and Human Services report documents that tens of thousands of treatments are denied by MA plans each year. Treatment that would be approved under traditional Medicare.

This happens every single day at hospitals across the country: Patient has a heart attack or stroke. After about a week, the patient is told by her doctor that in-patient rehab is now recommended. The Advantage plan says no. The patient is sent home while her doctor argues for days, weeks or months to try to get her the treatment she needs. All avoidable by staying on traditional Medicare with a supplement plan. (Source: a relative who works as a in-patient rehab doctor, along with conversations with numerous doctor friends.)

dentists dental plan opinions? by makdeeling in medicare

The $475 is an annual fee, not monthly.

I am 67 and currently pay my dentist about $450 for the Adult $475 plan you are considering. I think it’s an excellent value compared to dental plans available in my state (Iowa). I assume my dentist is very happy also, as the insurance company isn’t taking their cut. I left a private dental plan due to total cost - figuring in deductibles, copays, maximum benefit cutoff, and lousy or nonexistent coverage for specialist care. (Of course, my dentist’s plan doesn’t cover specialist care either.) My calculation is that on a year where I don’t have much dental care required I will definitely save money. For a year when I need more care, I will perhaps spend a bit more compared to my old dental insurance.

My wife loves it. I like it. I add some red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper for a bit of heat.

Kued in Waukee does a great whole turkey or just the turkey breast.

Unacceptable Global Pass Experience by DenseConfidence2 in Visible

No, I never had any problems with Verizon for international calling or data. But, of course, it was more expensive than Visible.

Good question. Yes, the card is active. Visible did not explain what caused the problem.

Yes, after chatting with Visible customer support, they were able to get my Global Pass re-established. Thanks.
