Re: What are we liking for car tire pressure gauges? - 6 days ago
Thanks. I had a 90 degree stem installed on the rear when I got new tires at the end of last season. Normal valve stem in the front still. But I just do something similar to JoeM now and use the portable inflator set to the proper psi to just top off without even bothering to check first.by wurm - Tips and Deals

Re: Is this MS Office offer legit? - 7 days ago
She has Libra Office (or one of the other wannabes), but is just so used to Office from her work. jdc, does that new M1 for $850 come with Office? Do you know if the monthly subscription thing can be used on an as-needed basis or does it have to be renewed in consecutive months?by wurm - Tips and Deals
Re: Is this MS Office offer legit? - 7 days ago
Okay, here's the problem. With such an older Macbook, even if we wanted to buy it from MS, we can't even use the newer MS Office, according to Microsoft: Note that new installs of Microsoft 365 for Mac will also require macOS 10.15 or later. Best I can do is update the OS on her Macbook to High Sierra (10.13) She'll be using it rarely. We'd be fine with a support-less older version. Any leby wurm - Tips and Deals
Is this MS Office offer legit? - 7 days ago
My wife needs a copy of Word for her '09 Macbook. A quick search comes up with this, which looks like a decent option, as long as it's legit. What do you think? Just realized her Macbook is running an older OS, so it would have to be this one Or cheaper yet: Okay, I think I've answered my own question with a little further digging.by wurm - Tips and Deals

Re: another Medicare question - 11 days ago
Hmmm...just curious. If you filled out the application online, did you not have to attach documentation with the application? Or is that what you mean when you said you emailed the forms 40B and L564 to him? My online application instructions stated: (bolded and underlined "or" is my formatting) You can apply online or you can mail your completed CMS 40B, Application for Enrollmentby wurm - Tips and Deals
Re: another Medicare question - 12 days ago
But it looks like for you it might start Oct 1st because you're applying during the month that you still have employer coverage. See the directions on page 3 of CMS-40B for this language. Thanks, GGD. Actually, She's not 65 yet, so she'll either do COBRA or ACH. I applied for Part B on 10/1, so if it takes effect on 11/1, I should still be okay as we're covered by the company policy throughby wurm - Tips and Deals

another Medicare question - 12 days ago
I'm sure I'll end up calling Medicare about this (or the insurance companies), but in the meantime I'm wondering if anyone here has experienced this situation. I signed up for Medicare Part A back a couple of years ago when I first had to, but declined Part B because I was still covered by my wife's employer's private health insurance. Well, her last day at work was last Friday, so we're coverby wurm - Tips and Deals

If you tell us what movie (or did you already?), maybe one of us owns it and can grab that section for you. Never mind. I looked at your previous thread and saw it's North By Northwest. Don't own it.by wurm - Tips and Deals

I don't know how (or if) it would work for a full movie on YouTube, but I've been using this successfully to grab and save short videos. I was able to take advantage of a special deal for a year for $9.97. Looks like they have a one month option for $3.99.by wurm - Tips and Deals
