Good question. Humana-Tricare will cover for us, I believe. Sorry to hear about your misfortune.Hey Austin glad everything was ok/. Question The moment they removed a polyp the insurance company will declare it surgical procedure. So it's no longer a free check up that they offered, it's surgery and out of pocket is about 2K. That happened to me and the wife. We had to call it off. Will your company do the same? Just curious. FCC.
Last year I had a routine colonoscopy and the doc found a polyp and removed it. His report said it was pre-cancerous. I have Humana Advantage (PPO) insurance and it was covered under their plan.Hey Austin glad everything was ok/.

I have never heard of them.Blood work done. Grabbing a bite to eat. I checked my loquat tree a few minutes ago and it is loaded with fruit. I wish my mother was alive and here to make some jams and preserves. Loquats are a hidden gem.

Bless you Austin.Back from colonoscopy and endoscopy. Positive results. Couple polyps removed.
This whole thing scared the hell out of me because I had blood in my stool for over a month.
Finally eating. Life is good.
Thanks for asking Bert. This is a very common fruit tree in our area with most of the people near me growing them. The funny thing about that is many people in Florida are transplants and have no idea what kind of tree they have. So they just leave them to the birds. A loquat gets 15 to 20 feet in height or maybe a little higher. I understand the origin is the Far East, China and Japan) but they are spread all over the world in subtropical regions. Texas grows them as do most of the Southeastern states. California does too and probably Arizona.I have never heard of them.
Are they sweat or bitter? Citrus?
Me neither.Wuddn't me.

The fruit is one of very high nutrient value and it has a sweet / tart flavor. The peeling is like an apple and I would say the meat inside reminds me of a peach. The seeds are very large. They are used in fruit salads or you can eat them right off of the tree. Or you can can them like any fruit and make jellies and jams. They are evergreen with flowers showing up in the fall or early winters months and they are ripe about the time of year through the Spring. The aroma is very sweet. Like most fruit you can make wine out of it which I understand is very popular in China and Japan.
Bless you Austin.
Now get your tear ducts ready. Even though your mom is old and her passing maybe positive for her, the loss of your mom is rough. My mom had been in a nursing home for 6 years and I went to see her and to love on her a couple times a week. I was relieved when she went because there was nothing left but a body.
But it soaked in, Mae was gone, and old Bert had lost the one person in life who would lie, steal and do nearly anything for her boy. 18 years later and I miss her and love her more than ever.
Mothers are special people.
So, you are in my thoughts. Tell everyone the good stories and describe the white house you grew up in and all the good stuff.
Oh yes it is super good. I attended a family reunion in Clearwater last year and one of my cousins brought in a crate of them from his tree. It was the hit of the whole reunion. My wife loved them. He gave all of us a large sack of them.Man, that sounds pretty good.....speaking of Asian far east, have you ever tried to grow Lychee fruit? I wonder if it would do well in your area.

That would be a good start. They try to find products customers like.Lychee was one of my absolute favorite things to eat during my trips to Southeast Asia. About the only place I can find it around here is in an Asian market or maybe a WholeFoods type of store. Most folks around here where I live have no clue about this awesome fruit. Maybe I need to talk to the manager of my neighborhood Publix to get some up here.....
Great observation on Richards. I'm happy for him he played very well and the one block into the stands was awesome!
- Tyler Herro only missed 1 shot. That 29 was his season high.
- Nick Richards got 15 boards in 15 minutes.
That's just Baaaaaad.You can't make this stuff up.
I was wondering what the sudden sharp pain was. I thought it was the prickly bramble.Me neither.
I’m inI am all in. The D-Leagues favorite beverage is on me. With my Trump tax cuts I can splurge a little. LOL
Glad your here, part of the Paddock oasis. You get it . . . a natural.Something very special about being a part of the BBN.
