Anthem, by far the worst company I have ever dealt with. Can't wait to go on Medicare next year.
Careful for what you wish young man.....they can't be any worse that United Health Care......it took three years for them to release me from the Director's work policy and then the company that handled their company benefits with held the $300+ for three pay periods......$1,000 and she never got reimbursed for it....Kindred sold out the new bunch had a new benefits provider.......I told her to steal 1K of mask and gloves but she wouldn't.........

To the Cards fans in here. Whitey Herzog has died. A giant of my childhood. Legend.
Interesting story for you. Whitey and Roger Maris were best friends when they both played in Kansas City. In the winter of 1961 after Roger had hit 61 homers, Whitey built a new house ( not had it built, actually built it himself). Whitey said without him asking, Roger Maris showed up first thing every morning with his tools and a lunch pail to help him build it. He said Roger would not accept any kind of payment.
 
They invaded my sweet potato patch last year. This is only the second year that the;y have been here.....they must've destroyed 250-300 lbs of potatoes........they have already ruined about half of the onion sets I put out (4 lbs) and it looks like I will have to replant my potatoes also........

Been lurking rather than posting and interacting, but saw this and thought I should share what I've heard works. Now this might piss you off... Human urine. Guy online swears by it. He splashed the holes and poured some little bit in each of their tunnels as best he could. Only had to do it once every couple months or after hard rains from what he said.

Doesn't have to be inundated with it. Just a little here and there supposedly. And no, I'm not messing with you. I'll be doing the same as we're starting to see some and will be planting soon.

Used to use Malathion to kill the grubs that the moles are after. Stunk like heck but used to be labeled to use around fruits and vegetables.) Treat your yard for grubs and the moles will leave. (Not sure what they use to do that now.) Some must be labeled to use around plants.
 
Man I took a new job. Supposed to start the 5th. (I know that is Sunday but that is how the pay system works.)

Never saw such a quietness in a long while... Caused some serious short tightening...but it won't make much difference until that breed is gone...incestuous.... All I ever wanted to do was good work and bring others with me or at least get the people I am around performing. Never asked for anything more...

My work time is short and I don't have time to take leadership with me and spend time convincing anyone right from wrong, "hoping" they change...
Good luck.
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 73°F and cloudy. Today's high expected around 84°F.

Cats at Cards last night: what a slug-fest. Cats won 17-13. Led 10-2 and 17-7. at various times. Cards would not go away. I stayed up too late. Vols coming to Kentucky Proud Park this coming Friday-Sunday for a 3-game series.

Happy Hump Day, y'all.

Good morning folks. Another beautiful spring day in the east. Why can’t they all be clear and sunny and cool.

Settling back in to work. Another trip next week, to see my son in Texas, so I need to stay ahead of things.

I like the kid Pope picked up yesterday. Watched some video. He’s a baller and two years older than a typical freshman. Let’s get more good news today.

Morning Legionnaires!

59° this morning with light winds. High to be in the mid 80's.

Had 2 games with men's team last night, I pitched one and the other guy one. We went 1-1 and won one game by one and lost one game by one. We're number 1, well not really but, there were a lot of 1's in this paragraph so...a play on numbers.

My defense has been pretty good, but my bat has sucked so far. 0-4 with 3 walks in coed on Sunday and 0-2 with 2 walks last night. Need to work on my timing and placement. Hit the ball hard last night, but it was right at the second baseman and right fielder. Neither had to move to catch the ball.

Normal workout and monster walking this morning and training my one student this afternoon. Wax on wax off.

Hump day folks, so stoke those engines and get over the hump.

God Bless.

Hey folks,

I wanted to share the sad news that my mother passed away on Wednesday. We had a lovely service on Saturday, just the family of her five children, ten grandchildren and four great grandchildren. Everyone made it but one great-grandson who had just shipped out to Hawaii on his first post-boot camp assignment with the Marines. My kids and grandkids all converged from DC, Texas and Kansas City.

My mother grew up poor in Bracken County. She had a simple but noble vision for her life from early on, to love and care for my father and their children and to expand that caring to anyone else in our town who needed it. And she succeeded in every possible way.

She died peacefully, and with the faith that we’ll all be reunited someday. It’s toughest on my father but we are all struggling to deal with the loss.

Very sorry for your loss @MdWIldcat55
Glad you could all get together though, and hope it's many more years before you lose anyone else close to you.
 
How's everybody doing? Good I hope.

@cordmaker ... I made your slow cooker chicken/noodle on Sunday that you posted a few years ago. Have made it a number of times. Everybody here loves it. The Mrs. asked me....'now who gave you this recipe?'. So I told her. She said 'make sure you thank him and tell him how good it is'.

Carry on guys.

Sorry, 55 that I haven't responded to you, but just know that I have been praying for your family! Mrs. M has really been sick since Monday, I'm just waiting for her to give me the word that she needs to go to urgent care! Glad I landed in the D, great bunch of guys, plus a couple knuckle heads!!

Would love to play softball again, my only problem is that I would have to somebody to play the field for me, can't run or bend over, can't throw the ball, have to have pinch hit for me, again can't run or swing a bat. I guess I could claim that I'm on the injured list!!

Cord, I hope that all goes well for Mrs. M, and I'm sorry to hear she is sick.

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers directed to my mother and those of us who loved her.

And I can extend that to several who have reached out here. I appreciated everyone who mentioned my family in their posts.

They couldn't breed the country genetics out of me.........I have a 7' privacy fence and no shame........you have given me a reason to be a day drinker......(besides not being able to stay up past 8 PM) I have found my calling........mole pisser!

I can't use poisons.......I raise ducks for the table and rabbits also....I also let my birds out to pick around on the ground.......

I resemble that remark Sir! (Twice...)

Sir,

I could have went ALL day without knowing that.

Kind of am glad as at least I know not to eat anything out of YOUR garden...😅

Wishing y'all an awesome Thursday.

Ever piss on your toes? When there are no meds available it is "supposed" to help athletes foot\ toe fungus.
No, but I have probably pissed them off though. Back when I was on DI status, after me and my now ex-wife split, I was practicing Martial Arts, and playing softball on 5 different teams. Unit level team, Battalion level team, Men's team downtown, coed team downtown, and church league downtown. Between being a Drill instructor, doing Martial Arts, running a lot each morning, and playing softball almost every day, my feet/toes were probably pissed.
