Re: Speaking of Tribute Bands.... - Today

Quoterz I never understood how/why Kiss was so popular. The two unfortunate years when my family lived in Tennessee back in the '70s, I was in middle school and Kiss was huge there. I always viewed them as a novelty act. The fact that they're in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and more deserving acts like Joe Cocker and Warren Zevon aren't tells you all you need to know about that organization.

QuoteGrateful11 I know they denied my spine surgery last Nov. but my surgeon got on the phone and they approved it right away. In the past two years I've had I think 3 MRI's and spine surgery and I can't complain about how UHC handled it. This is why people need to evaluate their Medicare supplemental plan carefully. With a Medigap plan, this wouldn't have been an issue, only with Advantage p

Re: delayed Social Security - 7 days ago

Assuming you'll still want to work part time, taking it before you hit your full retirement age limits the amount you can earn to around $21k before it impacts your benefit. After full retirement age, you can still earn as much as you like. I hit my full retirement age next March so I plan to start collecting, regardless of whether I keep working or not. Yes, I could get more if I wait until 70,

Since the Costco receipts are different colors depending on whether you do self checkout or not, I imagine they scrutinize the self checkouts more closely.

Re: Watched “The Killer” on Netflix - 24 days ago

Watched it Friday night, based on the buzz and an 86% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Kept waiting for it to get past the slow burn and kick in but it never does. Kind of a less competent John Wick. At least they didn't kill his dog.

Re: Face Shavers, just curious - 4 weeks ago

Closely trimmed and touch up once a week. Also, shave the neck and cheeks. I let it grow a little longer a few months ago until it had a bit of a wave. Interesting but more maintenance than I was willing to put in. About every six months, I get careless and also forget the guard and swipe a swath that takes a while to fill back in. Only been clean shaven once in the past 13 years and it distre

Re: Pulled the trigger on that LG C3 TV - 6 weeks ago

Good call on having them set it up. My wife helped me set my 65" up. Couldn't imagine doing it on my own since it's so thin and I wouldn't want to stress it the wrong way and risk damage.

Re: I want an OLED TV, any recommendations? - 6 weeks ago

QuotergG I would rather order through Costco direct so they will deliver as the box for a 65” TV would be a tight squeeze for my Kia Soul, and this way someone else gets to bring that box in the house. Yeah, the Amazon delivery people seemed pretty grumpy delivering my 65".

Re: I want an OLED TV, any recommendations? - 6 weeks ago

C-series certainly seems to be the sweet spot for LGs. My first OLED was a 55" C7 which still works great. Moved it to the exercise room last year when I replaced it with a 65" C1. Newer models have more tweaks in the settings, so I had a little back and forth with my Apple4k TV getting the audio right with an LG soundbar. Picture quality is fantastic.

Re: Kimmel and Colbert return LIVE tonite! - 2 months ago

Already watched Seth Myers this morning. An entire episode of "Closer Look"s and he probably has enough material for another round. Also going to check out the "Strike Force Five" merch since it just arrived when the podcast has now shut down. Still lots of fun if you haven't listened.
