I just went on Medicare in June. I got a nice supplement policy to go with it, and I'm on a prescription plan that does not charge me a co-pay if I buy my drugs on-line through them. So that is nice, and the total cost is about a third of what was my share of the old plan that my wife and I were...

That seems a little pricey. I mean, does that include specialists, hospital stays, prescriptions, emergency room visits, ambulance rides, and labs? That kind of thing always sounds good, until you start visiting the oncologist. I see my "doctor" twice a year, if that, and I doubt it would come...

I've given this a lot of thought, and I don't think that I would go anywhere. I can't think of a time that would be better for me. I'll just stay here, and see what happens.

When I worked, it was promotions. Everyone worked together, had worked together for a long time, and many of us would try to get promoted up the ranks, or into a different division. For me, over the course of twenty-nine years, I got passed over for eleven promotions, which meant that eleven of...

My story as well. I got flagged, and if I want to fly, I have to spend a lot of money and time getting documentation for my medical. And then, do it all again the next year. So it isn't worth it, just to fly around to flight breakfasts and over to visit friends on the other side of the state...

Having been a mechanic and an AI who worked on a fleet of trainers, they get a lot of attention. And not just from the mechanics, the FAA likes to check up on flight schools as well, a lot more than they show up in somebody's private hanger nosing around. Then there are the students themselves...

I rent from Enterprise pretty regularly when we are in Puerto Rico, as I don't own a car down there. I get along fine with them, but I've been using the same location for years, and that could have something to do with it.

OK, first of all, I don't know anything about dual citizenship, the ins and outs, or anything. I do know a fellow who was born in England, and his parents came to the US when he was six. He is in his fifties now. So he became a US citizen, and grew up here. But he claims to still have British...

The most dangerous thing in my Ford Escape is the Sync, especially the hands free Bluetooth. I won't connect to it anymore. I don't know how many times I've come close to getting into an accident because I'm dong seventy miles an hour trying to figure out why the Sync isn't working.

A little bit. My question is what you are recording. Are you a musician?

OK, thanks for the responses. I'm actually talking about when I'm working in a hanger, and I'm accessing sites, it is easier to see them on the tablet, than on the little phone screen. Also, I want to keep the page open, so that I can come back to it periodically for reference, without closing...

I'm using Verizon, and I'm in a situation where I do not have internet access otherwise, so I either use my phone, or the hot spot. So the questions, when I am using my tablet on the hot spot, does it use more data than if I'm doing the same things on the phone itself? Second question, if a page...

I have one, but it never gets used. I guess that says something. But my wife and I do not like flavored coffee, and that is what it seems most suited to.

I was not on track to go to college in high school. I had been working on my private pilot since I had turned 16, so my Dad found a Voc Tech school to become an airplane mechanic. I graduated from that, and was looking at the draft, couldn't find a job, so I enlisted in the Navy. Got out of the...

I was raised on a hog farm.

Some guy who lives in Mexico City, and I don't really know him, but someone who I do know gave him my name, called me up a couple yeas ago and asked me if I thought that his two daughters and their husbands would be safe in Aspen Colorado on a skiing trip. I thought that was interesting.

To keep my license current, I used to fly from Ames to Boone, I don't know exactly how far, it depends if you wander around checking out the crops on the way or not, but ten miles maybe, and then have coffee there at the airport. I would do that almost every Thursday morning, weather allowing.

I have a vision problem that manifests itself occasionally, that I know would prevent me from passing my medical. I talked to the ME who gives me my flight physical about it before I even went in to get my physical, and he told me that I could probably still get a my medical, but that there...

As I understand it, humans do not catch it through food that is cooked. The problem is that it is spread by other birds, so it isn't easily confined. Anyway, I don't know where the end is. It certainly could wipe out the entire population, I would think. But then, I'm not the expert, so maybe...

Big news in Iowa. The media is all over it.
