You have the option of changing insurance details even after age 65.

As I remember it from when I turned 65 a few years ago, I could choose a different secondary insurance provider or maybe go to Advantage.

November is the month for changing that, if we want to.

Welcome to the old fogey club.

You'll be getting crusty, dried out and brittle before you know it. It creeps up on you quickly.

Oak Pond Brewing Co., Canaan, ME - Start with Dooryard....end with Nut Brown. Ales, that is.

A buddy of mine started OP in very early Oughts' I think. Since past, but the family continues to brew. I continue to drink.

I do that and recycle the paper copy. Saves about an inch of filing cabinet space.

While I am truly, no paper, in my business....I actually appreciate a comprehensive guide to Medicare. I'll keep it handy.

Carrots were a total failure. Bumper crop of beets, peppers, leeks. Stuff is late this year because April and early May were cool and rainy. Tomatoes are finally producing enough ripe ones to freeze and can. Hope you’re doing well in NM.

I think - as a resource doc, that anyone can get access to, makes it important. I wouldn't assume your knowledge acquisition management skills are typical of, say, 75% of the general population. Save paper/store info. Get it...but what about people that need a physical copy to understand their rights and use them?

Aetna.

We take it or we pay for it ourselves, if we want something different.



So far, I'm happy with what I get. And maybe the booklet is important to other people. But to me, it does no good.
