    Medicare advantage not going away

    Liking this thread. Very informative. Here's my story. I have an MA plan through Highmark Blue Shield. Got the letter saying it was going away. Went to Medicare.gov and my exact plan was still there, lol. But significantly more expensive. Letter also said I 'may have the right' to enroll in a...

    Breaking news... At least 2 People killed in Northern English city Synagogue

    Mainstream normal average mom and pop folks in Britain are marching in a rally with TR because he is their main voice. The politicians don't want to hear from regular Brits who oppose mass illegal immigration.

    Breaking news... At least 2 People killed in Northern English city Synagogue

    HollyDolly, I saw the huge 'Unite the Kingdom' rally in London on TV Sept 13, which was led by Tommy Robinson. I thought it was inspiring, in that British citizens were speaking out about their free speech rights, notably their right to disagree with their government's policy of encouraging mass...

    Loneliness & Boredom, how to escape

    Haven't read all the replies. Single guy here, was mourning deceased gf. Joined a fitness club, paid for by SIlver Sneakerts 100%, and started pickleball. I was very shy, but I was very lonely too, so it was worth the discomfort. Met lots of people, some of whom are now 'pickleball friends'...

    Help me decide about keeping land line phone or not

    Just an update from the OP here. I called my current cable co and asked them for a price to add their cheapest VOIP land line plan to my bundle. It had way less local coverage , and the price was $25 per month, which is almost my current cost of $32. Not worth the $7 savings. Plus they had an...

    Help me decide about keeping land line phone or not

    Replying to Honeynut, Is it only the landline phone that is affected (do you get internet from them, will you lose a bundle price if you drop the landline)? The Verizon letter was only about the land line, yes. The land line is the only thing I have with Verizon. No bundle. I have an...

    Help me decide about keeping land line phone or not

    Thanks. It's taking me a long time to actually understand what I want, lol. I know I don't want change. I don't need to keep the old number, but as crazy as it sounds, I would feel a sense of loss giving it up, lol. If I do give it up, I will probably be over it in 2 seconds, though. I...

    Help me decide about keeping land line phone or not

    Hi. I want some input from folks to help me decide. Verizon, stated in a letter, wants to convert me from copper to fiber, since they are now putting fiber into my street. This is stressing me out. The price would remain the same. $32 a month for unlimited local calling, no long distance. I...

    Electric company to install "smart" meters

    Electric co installed a smart meter about 8 years ago. As someone else stated, I started to get static on AM radio stations immediately. FM was not affected.

    My own Ethernet cables don't work in my pc, but the cable at repair shop does. Why?

    Does it go in any farther than one with a tab ? Update : I was able to get the tp-link adapter to work. I never did give the store guy $30 for it, if he tested it in the store, because he would not refund my money if it didn't work when I got home. I got a similar tp-link adapter for $12 on...

    My own Ethernet cables don't work in my pc, but the cable at repair shop does. Why?

    No. Read the posts. Someone used an ethernet cable with a modified end (on purpose) to connect to an ethernet port, because it worked better than a normal end. No telephones involved, lol.
