Oh hey, SIX ...having scrolled up ... No worries.
I just got busy. Well, as busy as an old lady has energy for!

I'm finally getting to bed consistently around 0100. I alway wake up at stupid o'clock but I just roll with it, drink a half cup of coffee with milk and sugar, play computer games for a bit and dive back into bed. Up at 10, coffee, kitchen chores, taking the dog out to the backyard with me so she can be a dog and I can do 30 minutes or so of yardwork.... and it just goes on from there!

Cooking and dishes always features, as does family time watching TV. Sometimes Dr appts, sometimes front yard yardwork, sometimes catching up on legal or budgeting and stuff, housecleaning, planning the new landscape or bathroom remodel (I have a hard time visualizing ... it takes me forever!), sometimes decluttering... There's always something. I'm usually tired at the end of the day but then - I sleep well!

Sounds great Sigs. Thanks for checking in.

Sounds like maybe you're finding some balance of your own. Good for you.

Oh... hey...

I found out that my aunt got scammed with a medicare fraud scheme. She and my dad's brother were on a Cobra plan until they both got old enough to get on it, and I don't know the whole story or what happened, or whose advice they followed, but ultimately she missed out on the sign-up period because of this after paying two months of premiums to a total scam, and last update I heard things were not going well.

This comes while I'm starting to see YouTubers all over advertise for some company I think is called Chapter Medicare. I'm not saying that they're related at all, but I'm getting a little worried about that outfit because I see their ads popping up all over the place as direct sponsorship ad reads for a lot of content creators out there and I'm just a little concerned about the legitimacy of it.

I can only imagine how much they're paying for these sponsorships since they are popping up like weeds everywhere. Seems odd for a company that makes claims that their help is "free" and how much they care, while hitting all those buzz words that put people's guard down. Everyone's got to remember that the advertizers on YT don't need to adhere to FCC regulations or at the end of the day are really ever going to be held accountable for any deception they pull off. At least up until now, I think SBF and his crypto-empire is the only one who ever got more than a slap on the wrist, or maybe shut down at worst. I think SBF is probably the only advertiser on YouTube that has ever gone to prison for their deception, and with how many people from foreign nations can make ads and use AI to make them even better, you just really have to keep a sharp focus on that stuff since it just becomes more and more prevalent the longer we let these foreign scammers get away with making $10's of Billions off of US/UK and Canadian seniors every year.

I'm going to ask my old man if he can get me more information about what happened.

Just be careful out there.

I know Brenda's out in Canada and probably doesn't have to worry about any health insurance coverage type of stuff, but everyone just watch your backs.

OMG that's terrible, but I can sure see how that would happen. Every end of year we get get blizzarded with ads for this and that 'Medicare Advantage Plan', many from companies I never heard of, some claiming to be nonprofit.

I read an interesting article about all the scams just for seniors, and the older you get, the more there are. Some of them perpetrated by family members, caregivers, or trusted family lawyers, accountants, or trustees.

Damn, but ya gotta keep your head on a swivel!
