First post from the new computer.
It's and me have sorta been screwed up all day. I think two days of "Happy Juice" need to workout of my system.\, but really feel pretty good(if that makes any since?)
B]Louis[/B] I have to reread your post afain in the morning - I do know a little about what you felt .. I;m sorry you had to go thru that and put up with "whinnieboy", but he could have really been hurting as well .... Anyway glad that you are doing so well nowdays.
/GARRY of course I will add your friend to my prayer list .. I owe a lot of prayers for all of you! Maybe I should say "TOO YOU ALL?"
Gotta get some sleep - have been up from 2am with not a nap of any kind. Almost feel like I used to when on an all nighter accross the pond. Just running on kinetic energy! See you all tomorrow.
Anyone speak German?
My Kibri kit has this part I think is separate from the others and is like a rubber bushing.
It is referred to as a "Lagerbuchse".
Can someone tell me what that means please.

At least they ain't all broke and politically dysfunctional like Illinois. My call would be either Arkansas or Texas...Arizona is too close to California.Now to decide the pros and cons of Arizona, Arkansas and Texas.
Joe - I know that you had trouble with whomever regarding your MIL, perhaps it's just the area there. I had no trouble with four different aging relatives here, but all of them were over 15 years ago, well before Obamacare (which barely exists in Texas anyway).
ERIC I don't ever forget you either. You still have a long way to go!
Willie: Several points I need to clarify. 1. Obamacare does not factor here. She has a Medicare Advantage plan through a Major Insurance carrier. It's an employer sponsored plan, which is part of her late husband's retirement benefit. Anything beyond Hospital care, which is ostensibly provided by a "non-profit, is provided by a for profit facility, with all the selling of "extras" and scrimping of services to manage facility costs. From a business standpoint, there is nothing wrong with this, but from a "compassionate care" standpoint, it lacks much. Essentially, her plan limits her Medicare benefit, and places more of the costs on her. Pretty much, her income is limited to her SS benefit, a small Widow's pension, anda little interest. Most of this plus her savings goes to her assisted living facility, leaving little for cost sharing. Much of this is due to her decision to stick with an inferior plan, because she didn't know better. But information needed to make a good decision, is not readily available. The past 18 months have been a real education for me and my wife. I know one thing, as soon as we can, we will be moving her to straight Medicare.
