I have HSA, too! My deductible is $1600

that must be one heck of a insurance plan. husband and i pay 108.00 a month each thru aarp and so far its a good plan, course we haven't had to go to the hospital , co pay for things like blood test and test of any sort isn't bad at all, they pay pretty good.

The other plan offered was a $2500 deductible.

can't like

I don't know, think a bear on my property ( just 1/3 acre) would be a deal breaker.

Definitely scary but it is in the mountains after all and I think the property has probably been somewhat vacant but not really sure. So I think bears are somewhat to be expected.

Speaking of bears.....this just happened a few days ago. The bears were spotted nearer the town at one point, in fact less than 1/4 mile from the house Tammy and Evan were living in in Byron before they bought their new one. Tam shuddered and said, “When I think about Evan standing on the corner waiting for his bus all alone when it was still dark, it scares the _____ out of me!” Earlier in the summer they had to trap and move a mountain lion from Byron. Byron is about 6 miles from us, too.

Wow that is scary!!! Kind of sad the bears had to be killed though, especially the cubs, but I understand why they had to do it, especially if they already tried other options. Just stinks. but better to do that than wait until somebody got killed.

You and me both Blooie, except I'd be happy to just walk and get off my back. The incisions keep me from laying on my right side and if I try laying on my left side, the weight (gravity) pulls down great enough to cause considerable discomfort to the right leg...so it's either flat on my back or sitting up. Nothing like an incision on top of a previous incision that hasn't healed fully. Plus 2 new ones!

Well i found a tree down today, old one with rot up the middle. Been dead a long time, but you can tell it was an old one.

i hate it when a old tree goes down , even more when someone cuts it down unless its a danger to a house, i love the big, big old trees

The front half of my property was raped 15 years ago and then ignored for 13. The back half was last harvested 35 years or so ago. I have logging companies who would gladly build me a nice road all the way down to the river and split the sale price with me for the trees. But as much as I need the road, I can't part with the trees. I have a ton of veneer white oaks on both sides of the mountain. I can't bring myself to part with even one. If one blows down in a storm, I'll happily sell it. I'm really not a tree hugger, but I love my trees.

Me too, the live ones! We have many really large tulip trees, and pines. Many of the pines are dead.
