Same for me with Medicare and Tricare. Used the VA once back in the late 90's and waited 6 hours to have a rash on my right foot looked at. Now you need a VA ID card to get to be seen and I have not requested one yet.
D-League

The more the government becomes involved with medicine the more problems we will have. I have several family members in medicine and they spend more time filling out paperwork (and time on a computer) than seeing their patients.
My grandson will be studying to be an oncologist and he was told the hardest part of his job will be dealing with mountains of paperwork required by the government and some medical insurance carriers.
Good morning D-League. It's currently 42° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will see it become mostly sunny and a high of 57°.
We had a wind gust of 70 mph measured in town. Most of the county lost power as a result of the storm. Our lights flickered a few times, but luckily we didn't lose power.
Stay safe and have a great day.

Glad to hear that your chemo well for you yesterday. Continued prayers for you on this path to recovery.Good morning from ATX. Currently 45°F, clear and calm. Today's high may hit 81°F. We'll take it.
Chemo went well yesterday. Thankfully. Nurse lowered infusion rate and increased steroids + painkillers. No more chemo for a few weeks. I've got a Doppler test come next Monday. Doggone blood clots. Meh, country boy can survive. Grabbed Wendy's fish sammich + small loaded chili after treatment.
Plan on mowing grass later this AM. Good exercise. Hope old push-mower starts. Stay tuned.
Game today, gents, from good old Bud Walton Arena. Hearing many players are out, like Wallace and CJ. Huge bummer, if true. Go Cats!
Wishing y'all an awesome Saturday. Take care.
Checked my BP just now (After two cups of coffee) and it was 155/88 (read where it is always higher in the morning). Will be walking the monster shortly and a leg/MA workout afterwards and give it another reading after resting post workout.
I don't let anyone touch mine either, they are like weapons and might go off.
Ole Wildfoot wc.... Trying to emulate Bill "Superfoot"...
Good morning all,
Going to make a pan of biscuits now...then the "fun" really begins...😕
More to follow, Go Cats...
Control your days .. God Bless you all ..

Wildfoot is probably more like it. I am better with my hands.
The old days circa late 80's while on DI status. My buddy is on the couch in the background. 110lb Malamute named Simon. He was my road dog back then.
Good morning everyone.
Not much planned for today. We'll walk at least 3 miles and I'll watch the game. It sure doesn't look good being short on healthy guards. Oh well, hope for the best and live with whatever happens.
@BBUK....although I've been in pretty good shape most of my life I now have just a tad high cholesterol, low good cholesterol, and blood pressure that is just a little high. So, with all combined I really need to keep ahead of everything. I've taken Niacin and Vit D for years and stay somewhat trim. However, I really need to cut back on my splurge eating. That's my weakness. Good luck with getting under 200#.
Hope everyone has a great day and GO BIG BLUE.

@warrior-cat Ouch! My big weakness my entire life is lack of flexibility (well, and being scrawny). I should have worked more on the issue.
Good morning folks. Back from my long Saturday walk. Cold and clear. Man, a raw wind was knifing right through men, but by the end of the walk the sun was out and it was feeling fine out.
Last regular season game of a disappointing year for the Cats. A week ago it seemed a 2014-like post-season might redeem everything. Not feeling that way now with more injuries and a terrible senior night performance. Ah well. Soon enough I'll be watching the Reds lose 100-plus games.
I hope all you folks have a good day.

My folks and niece still don't have power. 420,000 without power in Kentucky. 70,000 in Louisville.Good morning D-League. It's currently 42° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will see it become mostly sunny and a high of 57°.

Something people don't think that much about re running is the pounding on your joints. I ran a lot and it puts a lot of wear and tear on your joints. I wanted to be in the best shape of everyone participating in any athletic event. Looking back, a good walk was probably healthier overall, but it was fun to watch other people get tired. Late in one of his Joe Frazier fights, Ali said to Joe, "You are getting tired and this is the worst place in the world to get tired."Something to think about. The man who said running would extend your life, Jim Fixx, dropped dead at age 52. Running. My son and grandchildren are long distance runners and seem to be in perfect health.
But I am concerned with the strain on the heart over a period of time. I guess genes have a lot to do with it.

Y'all must have had some bad weather up there. My son called this morning and he lost 1/3 of his roof shingles and has been out of power since yesterday.
As they say it is March in the Midwest. So sad to hear of the loss of lives.
Cal's worst season at UK was obviously the Covid year (9-16). His 2nd worst was the 2012-2013 NIT team (21-12). With a loss today the Cats finish the regular season at 20-11, 11-7 SEC. The NIT team finished at 21-10, 12-6 SEC. I think they're in the NCAA field but nothing is a guarantee especially if they lose in the first round of the SEC.
Next year, Next year we have this #1 recruiting class coming in.

The southern part of the state took the worst hit. We got lucky
Just hope you're not a CAD like me...😁😏
That was back when I was in the army. While I can still get my side kick that high, the lower picture was a hook kick which I can still get up around head level of the average person, but it does not have the same power as before. It is better to keep them about ribs to waist level anyway for more power. I can still do the regular splits but not the Chinese ones (never could). Flexibility has never been a real problem for me because I have kept up my stretching over the years. My big problem now is as I posted earlier, BP. I measured it again about 30 minutes ago and it was 138/82 after walking the monster and working out.
Nice fight from Cats in 1st half.
Especially Oscar.
We're lucky he's still playing.
I enjoyed the first half. Impressive showing without a point guard
Where was this fight against Vandy🤷♂️Keep it up Cats!!
Cats win and you know those CBS announcers are very sad. They tried their best.
Way to go Cats. After Wednesday didn’t think this win was possible.
WOW!!! Reeves was phenomenal, Toppin as well. I gave the Cats no chance in this game. Huge win!! 3-seed baby!
HA,
I was out, turned on the game when I got back. Saw it was 42-39 Cats and turned it all off until now...
😁

Haha, UT has to play Thursday. Mizzou gets the last bye.
Me and the BB got our ears lowered today! (My Darling worked as a barber for a good while. Thankful now, just me and the BB.) Feels good, I went too long between haircuts this time...

What a game!
Me flipping off punk-ass Eric Musselman: At least 10.
Me flipping off Razorback Thugs: At least 10.
Best performance all season! Where has this team been hiding? What have I been saying about Reeves all year? Haha, Go Cats!

Hopefully these Cats are learning they CANNOT let up or they will go home losing... I can only hope...
Go Cats, what a game in a very hostile arena . Reeves was superb
I just hope this team can stay a team for about 9 more games. (I think I counted that correctly.)
They seem to play better away from Rupp Arena . So
Good morning from ATX. Currently 55°F and cloudy. 96% humidity. Today's high expected around 80°F. Should make finishing up lawn a little easier.
Loved, JUST LOVED, our Cats yesterday. What a gutsy, methodical dismantling of the Hogs. Wife hollered at me several times because I would not shut up. Ha ha. Go Cats!
Yesterday's lawn-mowing adventure: Mower started. Cut some foot-high grass. Mower locked-up. Would not start. Low oil. Finally cycled after cooling down. Walked to auto parts store and got oil. I experienced severe knee and joint pain yesterday during walk, the likes of which I'd never seen. Bet it's side-effect from chemo. Returned. Added oil. Engine started. Runs good. I'll finish today with help from help from Tylenol. That stuff really works.
Wishing y'all a happy, peaceful Sunday.

This is my biggest complaint with this team. As stated before, Jeckel and Hyde performances this year.
