It irks the hell out of me when I see Medicare insurance plan ads on TV. They start off by saying plan X won't cost a dime. Then without saying this is another plan, no pay pharmacy drugs, trips to a doctor's, full time home health workers, and on and on. They just forgot that all that stuff comes with several $ thousands /mo. in premiums.

The ol‘ bait and switch
 

About a month ago, I found a mass in my left 'manhood', but I had a doc's appointment for Friday. On that day, I put on my going-to-the doctor's underwear, and saw my doc. I told him about the mass, and I undressed. When I tried to show him my mass, it wasn't there. I'm feeling all over and it isn't there. So the doc starts feeling around- nope no mass. Now, both of us are feeling around and nothing. Now, I have to get an ultrasound, and some 22 year old female tech gets to examine me. Life just gets better, and better.
 
Ta da. I am fresh from the battlefield, and the enemy is gone-no more gnats. I never did find a nest or where they came from in the house. I'm not sure what kind of gnats they were. There's a bunch of bugs that all look alike. I do know how they got in. I bought a plant from Lowes. Gnats love to breed in house plants because the soil is wet and they feed off roots. Lowes stores their plants outside in summer. When I checked the plant roots, there were gnats.
Well, there was one kamikaze gnat left, and I got 'em.

An enlarged vein (varicose vein) in the testicle is called a varicocele, which is a common condition that occurs when blood pools in the veins of the scrotum. Varicoceles are caused by malfunctioning valves in the veins, which allow blood to flow backward and pool in the veins. This can lead to the veins becoming swollen and dilated, forming a complex network of vessels that can feel like a bag of worms. (Mine is on the right side.)

At least you can find yours. When I got to the doctor's, mine ran away and hid.
Thank you for the info. It eases my mind.
 
The bear is back. I saw the bear last night. He was walking down the street. He's a good bear, he rarely gets into trash bins, or bothers anybody. He does yank up the vent for my septic tank ,once a year. I just put it back in the slot. It's amazing how powerful these animals are. What gets me about our bear is his coat. He gets up and walks out of his den. His coat is shiny black, and velvety. Now, picture how I look when I first crawl out of bed.................

So, I guess these guys are fruit flies- they don't bite. They just love crawling all over me. After all this time, now, I have an adoring following, they just happen to be fruit flies.

You know the gnats are serious when they start a fan club. Prayin' for ya, fuzzy!

ETA: Oops, I see now that your gnat-hunt was successful. Congrats!
 
Finally, a family moved into the house across the street from me. They have been remodeling that place for months. It seemed to be a big family. Well, I found out why. It's an Airbnb. It rents for $1,600/night. The house is in the middle of a residential area. Why in the hell would someone want to rent a house in a housing development? There's not that much around here that's a big draw. The NASCAR racetrack only has major events twice a year, and there's skiing in winter. And unless you've never seen a tree, that's about it.

I'm 78, and I can't wait to be 80. 80 is just like being 8. When you're 8 years old, and you mess up, people say, "Hey, he's only 8"- and you get away with it. Same thing with being 80, if you mess up, all you need is someone to say "Hey, he's 80". And you get away with it.

:love: I know! I use my 'I'm pathetic' look all the time.
 
Somewhere between 300,000 and 250,000 years ago, humans popped up. Until about 25,000 years ago, humans existed is small family groups, and were hunter /gatherers. Then all over the globe, towns and cities emerged, along with farming, kicking off empires and civilizations. Why? Why didn't some guy, 200,000 years ago, figure out farming? What took so long? And what happened 25,000 years ago, when cavemen, all over the world, decided to give up hunter/gathering, move to a city and become vacuum cleaner salesmen?

Brain power and knowledge were increasing.
I believe it wasn't a smooth gradual process, but there were big jumps in progress. One was fire. When we cook our food we improve nutrition. Another was agriculture. Another was tool use. And language. And travel by sea and knowledge of the continents.
Takes time, especially when you're busy just trying to stay alive.
 
All my life, I've had pet cats. I found out I can get hauled out of my place in an ambulance at any time. I don't think it's wise to have animals dependent on me for keeping them alive. But I still want pets. So, I gave all the animals around me names. There's Oscar, the snake, he lives somewhere under my deck. Charlie, the squirrel. Barney, the bear. The newest one is Daryl, the skunk. There's too many deer and I can't tell them apart. Same thing with the rabbits, and turkeys.
 
My neighbors were complaining about Daryl, the skunk. He dug up their yards. Well, Daryl finally got to me, big time. He makes these "ice cream cone" type holes, about 6 inches deep. I guess he eats whatever. I've only seen Daryl's head; everybody tells me Daryl is a huge skunk.
 
I'm not too thrilled with Mother Nature this month. First, it was the invasions of the gnats. Now, Daryl, the skunk, is methodically chewing up my lawn. It's kind of freaking me out. Daryl is eating something, but what the hell is the something living in my lawn?
Went to the dentist for a denture fitting. They request you get there about 15 minutes before your appointment time to check in. See, that way you get to wait a hour and 15 minutes more.
 
I missed the 'grub' class in school. According to Wiki, Daryl, the skunk is eating beetle larva, which is supposed to be beneficial for my lawn.????
It's a cloudy day, and I'm still having a lot of pain from moving my lawn. So, I'm not going anywhere today, that means I get to clean the house. Somehow scrubbing the toilet doesn't seem really "life fulfilling".
 
OMG!!! Gnats, broken dentures, a hungry skunk and now, today, a rotten egg.
At breakfast, I cracked an egg and it was bright red, which I think you're not supposed to eat. So, I had to crack another egg. It's happened again!!!! Eggs come in a pack of 12 eggs. So, @ 2 eggs/day, in 6 days you can throw both the last two eggshells and the container away. But , now, I have an odd number of eggs, and that doesn't work anymore. For some reason, this throws my entire life into turmoil. Really how am I supposed to carry on with this odd egg crisis. But I'm too cheap to throw an egg away, or only eat one at breakfast. What to do...........

Maybe you’ll get lucky and find another rotten egg to even things out. 😉🤭😂
