By that I mean turning 65.
For some reason every insurance company knows that I am going to be 65 in March. So instead of being nice they are bombarding me with truck loads of paper. In the guise of information on THEIR suppliment to Medicare.
I am easy to get along with and what I need is for someone to tell me that their insurance is better than what I have and how it is better and how much it will cost.....DONE...
But NOOOO, they want to tell me the history of Mediicar and the history of their company, then they start in on this plan and that plan and by the time they get to what I wanted to know I am sleeping. I will not read all that trash they send me because by the time I get to the bottom of one page I am either confused or couldn't care less.. it is boring and all I want is to find something that is good and so I can start paying and then they can leave me the Hell alone......
But wait there is more. In the real world I would have found the ins. and it takes care of everything I am paying away then I die....NOOOO that is to easy...because if you find something that will pay good and the price is right their pill plan sucks.....so you have to find one of those too...is it cheaper to get it all in one place or to pay several companies a monthly fee?
No wonder people go without ins. It is because even if they can afford it no one understands it.....and God forbid if you interupt the sales person and get him off his pre programed subject.......
I am not a stupid person but ins. was written to make it look like you will never get it so just pay up and shut up.....
To me it is kind of like paying for the new appliance insurance and then not being able to collect on it.....
Anyway......we will proably go along with BCBS and their high priced pills at least till next year because everytime I start thinking about it I get mad that it has to be so complicated......
And don't anyone sit there and tell me that it is not.........unless you are an insurance sales person cause if you know that is all that counts right?
I am sure this will work itself out one of these days but 65 should be a turning point when things are easier for people....not only are we getting older which is a good thing but stop making us looks stupid too.......lol......

Threat of a snow storm
And the fire departments dinner and a show for tomorrow night has been postponed.
Even if it don't snow it is going to be darned cold...and for the next week or so. But then it is supposed to warm back up a bit. It is January after all.
I cooked the chicken hind quarters yesterday. Had to set everything out in the garage, no room in the frig. This afternoon I got my stock put in containers and frozen. Thinking about making a chicken casserole of some kind.

Going to get some more Winter
Seems like this has been a good winter so far. By that I mean that we were not under several feet of snow by Halloween like last year. Today we can still see the ground after a few days of thawing. But this weekend looks like it could change that.
Been waiting for word on the winter campers supper. Probably the coldest day..but it hasn't been that bad yet...
But every year after I turned 60 the winters have made me feel like I am going to freeze without going outside..
Alan is mostly moved. The lady that they bought the house from had the realtor from Hell...This woman shouldn't be selling houses that is for sure. There is a long list of reasons. But she was mostly interested in getting her commission before Christmas which she would have had if she wasn't so stupid...
But the house is all on one level that makes me feel good because the one they were living in had a lot of steep steps to the bedrooms...always worried me.
The fire department is having a steak dinner and show as a fund raiser. Del and I both thought it was going to be catered but come to find out the firemen are doing it all.. I am not going I am not a fan of rib eye..or prime rib for that matter. I like tenderloin mostly. But I suppose that Del will be working up there all day tomorrow and Sunday too since it is Sunday nite.
Super Foods one of the grocery stores I shop at in O'Neill had chicken hind quarters for 53¢ a # so we bought 2 10# bags. I thought I would cook up a bunch today for chicken soup and tomorrow use the rest of that bag to make some stock..
I have come to like chicken stock.....well I never knew there was such a thing till they were using it on Food Network. Racheal Ray even has her own....which I like a lot... Swanson brand is a little on the weak side. Emeril makes a good one and Kitchen Basics is ok too.
I know a lot of people are using it now and not the broth because the stores are usually out of stock.. and the stores around her don't have much of anything but Swanson.
I get spoiled in Yankton in the summer time. They have a lot of stuff that I can't get even in Norfolk....but then when I watch the Food Network I wished I could get some of the stuff that they get all the time in NY.......but we don't have the crowds and the crime...lol

Last day of the Holidays....
As much as we like the holidays I think everyone is ready to say bye-bye to them too. Now things can get back to our normals...
Directv changed our network channel numbers again. I hate having to chase them all over to fine where they are, when they do that. But at least now Oprah has her own network. That channel started out being RFD then I think it went to Discovery Health..I watched that a lot...now I have to find it too. Or maybe I will find that they ditched it...
I bet they need more channels so they can put on more sports.....as if there weren't enough on already maybe they will put on more football reruns from years gone by.....like they weren't bad enough when they were on live.....but that is just me....I really have gotten over it.....
What I find hard to get over sometimes with tv is programs. I don't know who watches those pretend reality shows but they ought to have a network just for them....I would sign the petition....I get so tired of good looking guys that are also rich that can't get a date.....thinking by going on tv will help....Yeah right I could probably sell them some bridges.....lol
This holiday I have not watched tv that much except for the holiday movies. Everything else is reruns..
Now that things should have settled down in Norfolk we are going to go tomorrow. We need to get meds and stuff at Wally's.
Supposed to be in the 30s for the next week or so that is good. We will see.....
