“PREPPING” FOR THE INEVITABLE

Thanx!!

Couldn't that issue be prevented with a will?

I’m glad I have a stepson that will covet what I leave behind for him!

Gee, forgot about that as I stare at the 3rd treadmill we've owned over the years. I eventually lost the argument over the last one we purchased this year but at least I convinced her to get one that can fold down and be stored under a bed. I think it's been used 3 times excluding the cat using the mat as a place to nap.

Been there, too !

And both were Common Law! You’d crack up if you knew how I got $28K back from the IRS of the $83K she got in the settlement… Nice having a decent CPA… No Lies… She or her new husband won’t see a tax return for a long time might be out of the hole by now!!! Head of Household she wasn’t for those last 3 years… and I made a butt load!!!

NEW TOPIC: DEGRADATION OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES FOR ELDERS (& for everyone else)

Have you noticed how difficult it has become to speak with your Physician by phone? Well, that is usually very understandable.

But, can you call to speak with their Nurse, Assistant, Secretary, or even the Desk Clerk ?

Do you now find yourself confronted by a computer web service called “My Chart” or “EPIC”, which is similarly near-impossible to navigate ?

This was a seminal development in the deep state’s planned total takeover of all of our “healthcare”.

I recall, from back when a Med Student back in the 1960’s, that many Doc's predicted this. “Camel’s nose under the tent”.

Let me give one concrete example of how badly manipulated our ‘‘systems” are: In the late 1990’s in South Texas, the 9% of our patients who had private insurance, Worker’s Comp, & money paid for 50% of our income. Yes, that means that the other 91% who were on government programs or indigents were getting a free ride on younger & financially responsible Citizens.

A hidden but massive TAX never legislated !

How coud this be? Well, they made Medicare MANDATORY & tied to Social Security, si all elders were FORCED to “participate”. This gave the bureaucracy complete control over some half of the industry. That, in turn, let ‘them with the (OUR) Gold make the rules.

p.s.

(Recall that the critical vote “for” ObamaCare was cast by a Jesuit Priest in Congress. We now have a Jesuit Pope whom many of us see as a commie; but that topic is for another discussion.)

Mine use eClinicalWorks Healow. I can message my primary doctor (~ 40yo) prior to 6:30am and he will respond by 7:30am. All other physicians? They just have the system to show bills, appointments and test results.

Thanks for reply with specifics.

I’d bet they will be getting “EPIC” soon.

I told my son that if I get Alzheimers, he should take me down to the lower pasture and have a hunting "accident." He said "Dad, you know I couldn't do that!" I know, but it would be an act of mercy. I watched my dad's mind go to Jello over a period of about 5 years.

I just recently retired, and I'm just beginning the process of de-cluttering. I need to sell some guitars and some photography equipment. And I need to give away a bunch of clothing.

My maternal grandparents bothe ended up in nursing care (both mid 90s) not knowing where or who they were at the end. My mom is 82 and sharp as a tack. I hope that it doesn't pass down the line. I'm only 55 but already worry about it.

As far as de-cluttering............heck I'm just hitting my prime still collecting stuff. I'm going to keep it all (the good stuff) until the end and leave it to my daughter. I'm sure I will end up downsizing a lot at some point though.
