RE: We're getting a break on gas prices this winter...

It is the year before election time...So, gas will go down in price..It would be nice if groceries would go down in price too...

I also hope, the strategic petroleum reserve gets restocked at these lower prices...

Fed is not supposed to raise interest rates...again, the sceptic in me says this is due to election time around the corner.

RE: New life in an old condo...

Maybe, he was not being her everything...just maybe, he was doing what most of us do for the one we say we love...

I am betting she is more than likely put into one of those assisted living places..some good and some bad...but, she has lost her sense of independence...

And he, more than likely...not able to afford to live on his own..so, either renting a room from someone..or, on a dating site..looking to be taken care of...

The landlord is the clear winner though....

RE: Condo insurance increases...

Mortgage or not...one is playing Russian Roulette not having insurance...on one’s home...

Your rates are much higher when not paying for roof or structural damage...I would shop around.

The highest extra I paid on my home when it was built..was the impact windows...

It is worth having them, just to not live in a dungeon while a storm is approaching...or rushing out to board up my windows..

I’m too old for that stuff now..

RE: Condo insurance increases...

I always thought that Condo HOA’s paid for homeowners insurance...in the HOA fees...because they are attached to other homes...which in theory..could not be insured by the owner of one condo...which would create chaos if there was a need to file a claim...

I always thought the individual owners of condos could buy insurance..but, it just covered the contents of the home...

RE: You get what you pay for...

Actually, Biden’s mental capacities have slipped so much in the last year...I agree, it is not a laughing matter...

Nor, is it a laughing matter that his party is allowing him to run again..

On a good note...John Fetterman has seemed to finally recover from his stroke and his depression...One of the people who actually makes sense these days..

RE: You get what you pay for...

I am not obsessed with Trump..some people on this site are.

My position is both Biden and Trump are not good for my country...

Since, it seems as if, both will more than likely get their party’s nomination...

I will vote for Trump....and, the only reason why..is the Middle East...and Biden’s inept policies which have made Hamas and terrorists stronger...

Before all this happened..I was going to sit this election out.

RE: You get what you pay for...

My post had nothing to do with...if Trump people support Israel and non supporters do not...

It was to show, how women groups finally called out the hypocrisy and anti-Semitic mindset with many in the party...

Just so sad, that it took so long to happen.

RE: You get what you pay for...



This has been on my mind for weeks now....

The hypocrisy of the far left not condemning this speaks volumes...

The far left as always, only speaks when it supports their agenda...

RE: Condo insurance increases...

Condo HOA fees are notoriously higher than HOA fees on homes...also, many have more restrictions..

My advice would be to buy a newer home...with preferably a tile or metal roof...(shingle roofs are higher to insure.)

In my area, most newer neighborhoods do have HOAs which includes yard maintenance, gym, pool and spa...

My monthly expenses went much lower..when I moved into my neighborhood...insurance, taxes, utilities..etc.

I also have been very lucky..the members of the board on my HOA..are very frugal..and have negotiated better prices once the residents took over the board from the builder..

RE: Condo insurance increases...

I can only speak for homeowner’s insurance in my area...The crisis started here with Hurricane Irma...Many insurance adjusters approved roof damage from the winds..to pay for a total reroof..to homes that were in need of a new roof before the storm...

I know many people where I live are unable to get an insurance company to cover their homes.


I am lucky, I just paid for my 4th policy since living in my home..the premium has only increased by $300 in this time span..

It is definitely a good idea to have cash in reserves...for any kind of big expense..If not, you could have a very high special assessment added to your monthly HOA dues.

I had a special assessment this year, for damage from Hurricane Ian..for landscaping, street signs, etc..that the HOA insurance would not cover...

The insurance crisis here in Florida will only continue to grow...The governor and the insurance commissioner...need to get their act together.

RE: Wow What's Happeniing?

^^^^
Thank you for the explanation...

It makes more sense now...

I would never spend that much on a kitchen remodel...even, if I had the money..

Crazy...

My kids freak when I tell them, we bought our first home for 38,000...three bedroom 2 bathrooms...brand new..

RE: Driving under Vraylar ®

Just thought I would post a reply for you Bob...

Maybe, one of these days I will understand what you are saying...

RE: Wow What's Happeniing?

I guess I just do not understand why you just don’t use the toaster in the kitchen...

I keep my toaster in one of my lower cabinets...I do not have as much counter space as in my old house..Nor, have I used it since moving...

My son wanted toast when he was here for Thanksgiving...I took it out of the cabinet and placed it on the counter...and plugged it. in...Voila..he had his toast...and, I now know, my toaster still works...

laugh

RE: Open enrollment...

I do have Medicare...but I also have a supplement (which pays for what Medicare does not cover and the remaining balance..) Many of the Advantage Plans...do not accept the doctors of your choice...

I learned when my late husband became ill...that having good insurance helped make one less to be stressed about...

Medical bills ended up to be over 750,000...we paid 3000...

I watched as many people paid for chemo treatments with 3 or 4 different credit cards...

I just made the next appointment.

RE: Open enrollment...

I turned 65 last year....phone calls, emails, and mailbox (which I only check once a week), were full of how they were the best thing since fried rice...and how they could save me money...I ended up, with Medicare and a really good supplement....Plan G...vey little out of pocket..

I am staying with what I have...supplement went up very little...Prescriptions...I pay zero now...Ended up saving a little each month...

I made too much last year....since I did widow’s benefit...it was always a take time off..and get company insurance before I reached early retirement age...I had to down to working only 2 days a week...because I made too much...

I am going back to 3 days a week next year....

Be very careful with the non Medicare plans..I work with someone who thought they were going to save money...and, ended up paying much more than they said she would.

RE: Wow What's Happeniing?

My God...doh

RE: Wow What's Happeniing?

Chat, please don’t take this as me being mean...

But, who the hell makes toast in the bathroom.....

When you first blogged that, I thought it was a joke...

Then, you blogged about it again...I was like, my Good he really uses his toaster in the bathroom...laugh

RE: Judge Cannon...

You are entitled to your opinion...When we are living in another country it is up to the individual to respect that countries historical statues, policemen, the states property, and not try to force their way into businesses. Also, it is very disrespectful to shut down traffic and public transportation...

Not many countries would put up with these kind of action...It does not make them racists or bigots...It means they expect visitors to practice respect and decency.

Do you really think we could have these kind of protests in most countries..which many turn into violence...

Sorry, but if my children, even though they are grown..behaved in this manner in my country or any other country...I certainly would not condone that behavior...

Did you know that protestors tried to stop the Thanksgiving Day parade..by gluing themselves to the road...This kind of behavior has the exact opposite effect on what they are protesting for...In fact, it only makes those who have opposite opinions..more steadfast in that opinion.

RE: Judge Cannon...

Biden’s mandates for electric vehicles will only hurt auto workers....by taking much of the manufacturing out of the country....He is as much of a BS artist as Trump.

As far as illegal immigrant policy....I want the students here on Visas..and the professors here on Visas...deported..If you do not respect my country...Or, feel we are oppressors...See ya....

Many of my feelings about things..changed on October 7th....

RE: Judge Cannon...

I kinda think that is the same thing Biden did when he took office....

Biden’s problem is he is out of touch with the working class....which BTW..was what Democrats used to stand for...

I kinda think you are a bit paranoid....

Face it, like I have...

If the economy does not get better..and if we do not close the borders...Biden is toast.

RE: Is the world ready for war?

Learning to use different pronouns....stupid...

Demanding the COVID vaccine....many good soldiers left....

Admiral Levine...

Just as generation X, believing that bin Laden was right to plan 9/11...

RE: Judge Cannon...

All that would be suspended until 2028... or if he (with the support of the Republicans) gets his way and changes the law to be president for more than 2 terms, then America will change forever.

That will never happen...just as Biden’s college forgiveness program was struck down by the Supreme Court...

RE: Music Room back Online

It’s looking good Track...

RE: US and CHINA relations...



I am betting he does not keep his word on the pandas or anything else...

Also, betting the city goes back to how it was before all the elites came to visit..

RE: Let's Ask Iran And Hamas To Stop As Well

Honestly, CNN is much more pro Palestine...than pro Israel..same at MSNBC...

I posted the video to show how widespread this has became...

The muslim supporters of Palestine..broke down the door to get to a flight that was landing from Tel Aviv...they were looking at passports for those with Israel passports....What would have happened, if some did have Israeli passports...

Yes, those supporting Israel do have minor outbursts with Palestine supporters...but , they are mostly just words...

Many of the protestors here are the same who protested for BLM and ANTIFA...paid to cause chaos...and deface police cars, break store windows, deface statues and close down transportation for those who just want to. live life...

RE: The worst song cover(s)...

Not much better...laugh

I think they both let stardom go to their heads...

RE: The worst song cover(s)...

I never cared for William Shatner..

His acting was bad...as well as his singing..

I always preferred Leonard Nimoy...something about a half Vulcan..

RE: Let's Ask Iran And Hamas To Stop As Well



Funny, I do not see any Jews attacking airports...

There is a peaceful march planned for tomorrow in DC...to support the return of the hostages..and stand by Israel...
