Medicare and Other Health Insurances

Over the years I have had to choose the best Medicare Plan for me.

I did, but I found that the plan that I thought was for me has changed and changed drastically this past year.

I have an HMO this means I have a Medical Group and the Medical Group runs my medical show.

I’ve had to use my medical insurance much more than I have in other years and I found that my Medicare HMO has changed without my knowing it.

Maybe, this happened to you. You were using your HMO or PPO and were happy with it and then it changed without any warning.

Now medical things are starting to cost money. Copays are getting higher and now are being attached to medical things you didn’t have to pay before.

On November 15 of this year, you can start changing your Medicare plan. Make sure when you pick out the plan for you, you know what the hidden charges are.

Does it cover my prescriptions?

What copays do I have to pay?

How much are the copays?

Get the picture.

Good luck with choosing your Medicare plan.

Thank you for reading my article.

A 96-year-old woman, believed to be the oldest working nurse in the country, has retired from a Tacoma, Washington, hospital.

Last week, Florence “SeeSee” Rigney retired as a nurse at MultiCare Tacoma General Hospital after over 70 years, according to a press release from the hospital. Throughout her career — which began as a student nurse at the Tacoma General School of Nursing in Washington — Rigney worked consistently, only taking a “break” from nursing to raise her two children.

According to the hospital, working as a nurse has kept Rigney very active. She’s traveled across the country as an operating nurse and even logs up to three miles on her Fitbit from walking during her shifts.

“I don’t like to sit around – I’ve always got to have something to do. That’s my nature,” Rigney said in a statement, adding that she always wanted to become a nurse. “I love to interact with patients and give them the help that I can.”

Carolyn Kloss

When you make a friend, you take on the responsibility of being happy when they are happy-sad you are sad. You spend time together and you share your life with your friend. When they get sick you are there for them as they are for you. When that friend is taken out of your life suddenly it’s as if a part of you was ripped from you.

My friend Carolyn died suddenly a few days ago. She was an amazing woman I was honored to call her a friend for twenty years. She has a large family and many, many friends. She was involved in so many things I don’t know how she kept everything straight. She was a professional cook and baker and she sewed amazingly. She was a five-time cancer survivor and she had her two shots and she didn’t die of Covid. It was just her time and she went to our Lord. I miss you Carolyn Kloss.

Little House on the Prarie

I absolutely loved that television show. I wish we could recreate it or something like it today. I think it would be a big hit. It would be a time to fall in love with the characters and bring family and good healthy wisdom back into the world.

Television shows and movies have a huge effect on how our culture moves. Why do you think there is so much violence on the streets today?

Let’s go back a little way and put some new kind of television show back on the air something like Little House on the Prairie. Or what do think?

What is the 4th of July and Declaration of Independence

What is the 4^th of July? Declaration of Independence?

Are you ready for the family barbecue followed by fireworks? How did all this start. Let’s go back to the beginning.

Think back in 1776 when the original thirteen colonies were surrounded by the British the Red Coats. Of course, you would fight to get the Red Coats off of your land and out of your life.

King George III must have been on drugs to think that the people of the colonies would subject themselves to people from over the ocean with strange clothing and customs trying to control the colonies.

The people of that era did a great job fighting these Red Coats with everything they had to save themselves and their families.

Wouldn’t you have. If they wouldn’t have done that we might still be under British rule, there might never have been individual states and we wouldn’t have had the Declaration of Independence.

We wanted the Red Coats off our land and we got them running back to England with their tails between their legs.

Congress had declared Independence Day on July 2 but it became official on July 4th a time for family to get together and veg out.

The United States Declaration of Independence is the adopted by the Second Continental Congress meeting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on July 4, 1776.

Originally published: July 4, 1776

Authors: Thomas Jefferson

Created: June–July 1776

Signatories: 56 delegates to the Second Continental Congress

and Mary Katherine Goddard — At the bottom of the document is written “Baltimore, in Maryland: Printed by Mary Katherine Goddard.” Goddard, who was working as printer at the time, voluntarily inscribed her full name on the document.

Location: Engrossed copy: National Archives Building; Rough draft: Library of Congress

Purpose: To announce and explain separation from Great Britain

Four parts

There are four parts to the Declaration of Independence which include the:

Preamble
A Declaration of Rights
A Bill of Indictment
A Statement of Independence.

Can I get a book agent?

I have been on the assumption for years while I was writing my numerous books that book agents were almost non-existent.

I thought the only way they would be interested in a book if it was from a criminal or somebody in the government.

In other word’s some kind of scandal.

The publishing companies years ago stopped taking manuscripts from first time authors. The slush pile was gone. But I ask you, how can you find a good author for your next best-selling book if you don’t accept a book from the slush fund.

I stopped submitting my manuscripts to a publishing company I felt it was a waste of paper, envelopes and postage.

I started listening to webinars on my phone and maybe it isn’t hopeless to get an agent.

What do you think? Frustration is the word for all authors.

The first thing that comes to mind is money. Wouldn’t you?

What if I tell you that it is money lots and lots and lots and lots of money but it comes with a hitch.

Ah, here is where the story gets mysterious and exciting. Yes, in my book The Strange Inheritance that is exactly what happens.

Well, this book does and it is a darn good one. Read it and find out.

Face Masks or Not?

What do you think about the removing of face masks in June?

You must have some kind of opinion.

I am vaccinated but for some reason some people do not want to be vaccinated.

I want to be able to remove my mask in public. I feel safe now that I have been vaccinated.

But I have my reservations about the people who are not vaccinated.

My question is why not?

Do you want to continue wearing face masks for the rest of your lives?

I for one, want to be with people who have been vaccinated.

What do you think?

I want to see children being back in school.

I want to see people going back to work.

I want to see people being social again.

I will continue wearing my mask. What can happen I will be safe.
