Just an FYI but yesterday the Hwy 50 bridge over Blue Mesa Reservoir west of Gunnison Colorado was closed indefinitely due to damage found during an inspection. So far there is no date for repairs to be completed. The ONLY east/west routes as of now are I-70 and Hwy 160 until snow is cleared off...

Had my appointment yesterday to schedule my next nerve ablation for my lower back. These have been pretty successful twice a year giving me relatively pain free activity. But I asked my doc about what is the next step when these are no longer as effective. Told him I'm trying to avoid surgery as...

Is anyone here using GM Supercruise? Just wondering if GM is as good as or possibly better than FSD?

Kinda tongue in cheek post in response to the "first million is the hardest" thread. I somewhat felt left out with others posts on their good fortune in accumulating more millions. But I'm here to say that we've never gotten close to the second but have comfortably stayed within the first...

Yesterday I read a post from a friend that I haven't seen in a few years. Basically it said that he was at the end of his life due to severe heart problems. He went on to list his regrets being mostly not having family or kids. Since he has no family to pass on his assets he is having a friend...

Didn't want to post this on the thread about acts of kindness. But just be careful when helping unfortunate people. In my current city there is a facebook page dedicated to a local scam artist named "Kevin." This guy is out there every day scamming good people out of money. He is clean cut and...

This started a few days ago. Every time I come here I need to login again. Never had to before this started. Macbook Pro running Monterey, Safari browser

My cataract surgery went well, I had lenses for distant vision implanted. My vision is 20/20 in both eyes. I use cheap readers for close work, less than 12". But a couple weeks after my second surgery I had flashes in my right eye. Went to a vitreo specialist and he said it wasn't a torn or...

Our condo has a jetted tub and a separate shower. We never use a tub so thinking of removing it then adding cabinets for more linen storage and replacing floor with either tile or LVT. We have enough extra tile from the kitchen and dining area a PO did. At our last house we had the builder do...

While I haven’t used it I have some concerns about AI. First is “deep fake”, how will we know whether something is real or not when AI can look and sound like someone we know whether it’s family, a religious figure, or a politician? Second is that AI can be programmed to disperse information...

My time is up. Scheduled for a colonoscopy on Jan. 3rd. Not my first but could be my last? My gastro Doc sent a Rx for Clenpiq but got a call from pharmacy and it's not covered by insurance so will cost me $120. But the gastro office called and said they have a free prep, Plenvu which is PEG...

Who has a funny or goofy Christmas tradition? Since I was a small kid my dad had these wool red checkered pants he always wore on Christmas. I inherited them and wore them each Christmas until my sons had kids and now one of them wears the Christmas pants for our get together. Here is a picture...

For the first time in many years. There is a local Celebrity Theater a couple blocks from our condo. Matinees are $5.00 during the week. There are 10 auditoriums, nice recliners with table trays, and plenty of room between rows to recline and someone walk past you. Huge popcorn and large drink...

Had a hearing test today at our local Costco. Impressed with how comprehensive the test was. The audiologist wants me to see an ENT since I have assymetrical hearing loss, right ear is much worse than left ear. I'll have that done asap then back to Costco for their recommended aids. Has anyone...

One of the things I really enjoy about this forum are the members who openly share their experiences with aging. I'm 69 now and in relatively good health and try to stay active. But I like to see what's coming down the road as I age. Thank you to all that share their experiences whether they're...

Time to redo our wills, haven't updated them in over 30 years. Only question is what if anything should we leave to our oldest son's stepson. Unfortunately our son is not speaking to us, he is a recovering alcoholic and appears to blame us for his problems, so we don't have much connection to...

Don't see where this has begun for 2023 yet. My find is a bare tool Dewalt tire inflator at Ace hardware for $99.00. Best price was $114 at Amazon. Ace does require you to be a rewards member. Best thing is they have free delivery from the local store. All of my power tools are Dewalt so I have...

My other post was 277 days old so I couldn't post to it, so here's my update: Update on my 18" EGO chainsaw. Piece of junk! I have a 16" aspen that I had someone cut down so this is laying on the ground. I have it supported so the chainsaw won't jam. I can only make 3 or 4 cuts before the...

I just spent over an hour with Amazon customer service about my account being hacked. When I logged into Amazon prime video app on Roku it came up with a different name than mine. Then I logged into my Amazon.com account and it came up with the same name. The name was no one I know. So I tried...

We may be trading in my '11 Tahoe this year. Starting to have a few electrical gremlins pop up. We haven't drove anything yet but research points me to a Buick Enclave, Chevy Traverse, Toyota Highlander or Honda Pilot. Part of this decision is having a dealer close to our cabin. NEED AWD and 3rd...

Discussions about EVs are great but as I've said before it's 1350 miles to our cabin and we drive that at least 4 times each year. I won't consider an EV until I can easily make that trip with only 1 stop/day then charge overnight at a hotel. But I won't rehash that. Instead what I think our...

We're back from our winter trip to the cabin. Had a birthday crawfish boil with all of our kids and grands, great time. Then we all got sick for a couple days, stomach bug. All back feeling good again. Yesterday we saw 6 condos/townhouses in Baton Rouge. We're planning to list our SFH in our...

For most of my adult life I've struggled with allergies especially in the spring but also fall. I was about to go through testing then taking frequent shots. Then I remembered back in early 2020 when I had covid before anyone really knew what it was my doctor prescribed Singulair thinking my...

My cabin is at 9400' elevation in Colorado and has a wood stove + electric baseboard heaters. Our cabin is basically open downstairs with open loft bedrooms upstairs. Electricity is pretty expensive using the baseboard heaters so I've been thinking of upgrading to another source. Options are...

Merry Christmas everyone. What are yall planning for Christmas lunch or dinner tomorrow? This year since our 2 son's may not be here at the same time we're doing sandwiches rather than a sit down gumbo dinner. DW picked up a boneless Honeybaked ham, I just finished putting together a roast...
