    Remaining schedule is not exactly easy.  I only see one sure win (Jets) the others are all very losable, especially if Rodgers and Burrow are playing 

     

    At Pitt (50%)

    Bengals (75%, 50 if Burrow plays)

    At NE (40%)

    at Cle (75%)

    Philly (40%)

    Jets (99%)

    There is no such thing as a sure win no matter which team is playing... this goes for any team. How many people got bounced out of their survivor league last year... right off the bat.

    It's common for the surgeries on the eyes to be a little different from each other.  My second surgery (right eye) felt a little "scratchy" at first but it's fine.

     

    The laser surgery in office, if necessary, only takes a few minutes.   I was able to drive myself home afterwards.

    I had lenses put in both eyes and the right one has become a bit cloudy. Had my appointment this morning and have the 2 minute laser "cleanup" scheduled early next month 1 week apart. He said that 80-90% of people who have had lenses inserted will need this procedure... which, like you said, only takes a few minutes. Also said that I will never need it again... it is scarring from the initial implants that most encounter.

    Medicare Advantage Plans

    I found a couple free HMO plans thru blue cross/blue shield that look pretty darn good. I can get the exact name of the plans if anyone wants them.

     

    The coverage appears better than my mom’s old independent health plan (which she liked). We were able to compare it to the new plan independent health is offering to replace hers for $40/month and it has better coverage than that plan too. 
     

    We are leaning toward one of those 2. The one plan has slightly lower out of pocket costs in some stuff like x-rays ($25 vs. $50) and out patient hospital ($375 vs $475). But the other plan provides an $81/month credit toward the Medicare part B premiums that are deducted out of social security payments every month. So I think we are leaning toward that one.

     

    Ive had blue cross/blue shield for many years now and love them. It’s not Medicare though.

     

    Next step is to call blue cross/blue shield directly. That’s been helpful for us in eliminating some plans we were considering.

    Personally, i’d recommend everyone do that before choosing your plan. Once you have it narrowed down to a couple, call those specific insurance companies and talk to them to make sure you are reading/understanding everything correctly. Double check that your doctors and medications are covered, etc.

    Its a real shame that they made all of this like it's some sort of a game... nothing seems to be straightforward with anything anymore. Can't imagine an older person with no computer prowess at all navigating the labyrinth of Medicare...

    Buffalo Sabres and the NHL: 2025 - 2026. Changes are needed. Don't we say that every year?

    Buffalo Sabres captain Rasmus Dahlin has been through a horrific ordeal over the course of the past several months, with that ordeal now culminating in the Sabres captain taking a leave of absence from his team.

     

    On Friday, the Sabres officially announced that Dahlin would be stepping away from the team to be with fiancee Carolina Matovac as she continues to recover from a shocking medical issue that nearly claimed her life earlier this summer.

     

    Back in September Dahlin informed the world that Matovac had suffered a massive heart failure while the pair were enjoying time off during the summer month., The experience was no doubt an incredibly traumatic one for Dahlin who saw receive his fiancee receive CPR, sometimes for hours at a time, just to keep her alive and on life support for weeks before she received a life saving transplant.

     

    That Dahlin would want to be close to his loved one at such a difficult time makes all the sense in the world, with Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff expressing his admiration for how well Dahlin has handled the incredible hardships that have come his way as of late.

     

    "Rasmus will be taking a temporary leave of absence to deal with a personal matter back in Sweden," said Ruff on Friday. "I will say this, he said everything is ok, and through this he's got full support by our team."

    Yup I did this about 10 years ago when DirecTV started dropping stations. Used it sparingly and over time have gotten slightly better ones (they’re still super cheap) and it is my main source for football. You get the CBS/Fox games, SNF on NBC and many Monday night games on ABC

     

    (obviously Prime for TNF isn’t available, although I personally have NFL+ premium which is great for streaming Primetime games to devices as well- also very affordable compared to the larger streaming services) 

    TNF is free on Twitch.tv... (owned by Prime) I use it every week.

     

    Man is Dallas ever getting owned in their own building..
