    Anyone on a Medicare Advantage Plan?

    When you say "up over $1200" is that derived from not having to pay the $200/month for the first six months?

    Anyone on a Medicare Advantage Plan?

    I'll be retiring a year from now, just before turning 65. I'm a fed employee planning on continuing my FEHB (Blue Cross) med insurance, for which the gov pays about 75%. Am seriously considering doing Medicare also (free Part A and paying the monthly premium for Part B). Combining those two...

    Swarovski NL Pure 10X vs 12X

    Man, I must be a little slow on the uptake here but I can't visualize how you can hold binoculars without any support (thumbs?) on the underside.....where on top do your hands go and the thumbs are just on the sides of the barrels? A picture here would really be helpful!

    Best Semi-Recent Tundra Years?

    Great info, guys, keep it coming. Thoughts on a few of the comments--though I don't have towing plans, you never know, so the transmission cooler would be nice to have. I don't know that I'd be interested in all the "nanny" stuff so probably will stay at 2018 or older. I do want a double cab...

    Small, Fireproof Container Options?

    This kind of ties in with the current thread about prepping but do any of you guys have recommendations for a small container you use to stash cash and/or other valuables in to hide somewhere in your house? Something with some level of fireproof rating.

    Best Semi-Recent Tundra Years?

    Wow, 160k on a 3-year old truck, that's a lot of miles! Curious, did you trade the others at 80k just because you wanted newer or was there another reason?

    Best Semi-Recent Tundra Years?

    Hey guys, Starting to get into the market for a used Tundra, would like to buy one in the next 6-12 months or so. Don't like the looks of the new ones and don't want anything turbocharged. From a reliability standpoint, in Consumer Reports ratings it looks like 2015 and 2020 are better years...

    Good Gas Mileage Hunting Vehicle

    Wow, that's a really nice vehicle. Personally, I don't think I could/would take that into the woods, be too afraid to get it scratched up or otherwise damaged.

    Big city living

    I (like backyardbandit, posted above) live in the greater STL area, on the southwest side. Actually in the northern end of a rural county (a conservative, red one), adjoining STL county. We are in a large development that has a lake and we have heavily wooded common ground behind us. Have...

    Short-Term Memory Loss "Solutions?"

    Hey guys, I'll be 64 y/o in a few weeks, exercise regularly, have a pretty clean diet, and will retire in a year. I have a lot of hobbies, including reading, so I keep my mind busy. But like most of my peers that I know in my age group, my short-term memory has declined over the last several...

    AARP?

    I'm like most of the other guys who responded, I don't like their political views and their deals/discounts really are for things I don't use or can find better alternative ways to go about or purchase. So, a hard pass for me.

    ATV weekly rental?

    Folks may be reluctant to do that, fearing you'd get in an accident or have a problem and end up injured and they'd be held liable.
