HAPPY BIRTHDAY JASON!

Will you be hosting a house party to drum in the New Year?

Will you have dancing & will your guests wear ties & dresses?

Will there be entertainment?

Revelry, balloons and party hats...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Data Centers sometimes can't find your data, so it's good to have a phone & talk to a human at times.

I finally signed up for civlian health coverage, effective 1/1/2018.

It will supplement my VA & Medicare coverage.

In early December I gave all my info to the Ins company

in a 45 minute interview.

Two big questions were,

1) Did I have prescription Drug coverage from 2011 through 2017?

I did, with the VA. Gave them my VA ID # & policy #.

I got a letter from the Insrurer telling me that they had no record of me having

drug coverage & therefore I would be charged a penalty on my

monthly premium for drug coverage for as long as I maintained the coverage!

Question # 2 was,

How do I want to be billed?

I said monthly & I would like to pay electronically.

I called them today & told them I have not received a bill

for the first premium due on Jan 1.

They checked their Invoice System & found that I am

not in their billing system.

Both issues were resolved today with a phone call to a Human!

Saturday Night Politics...

Andrew McCabe is 49 years old & he has apparently announced that he will 

stay at the FBI until March, 2018, when he will be fully vested in his 

Government Retirement.

Andrew is currently the # 2 person @ the FBI.

I guess he just wants to spend more time with his Family,

or pursue other opportunities.

If you were me, what QB would you start in your Weekend Fantasy Championship Game?

A guy named after an oil well & a car?

Or

An artist that paints pictures of the wind?

I believe I'll go with the Artist...

Guess what two teams will face off in this years McKendry/McDowell Fantasy Football Championship Game?

Yep, The two Grandpops!

In a barn burner of a division final Geraldpea's Football team

defeated Jason's Ambler Thighs 89 to 88

While Grandpop McDowell's 

America's Team All Rise obliterated The Husky Express

The Championship game is this Sunday!

So I go out on my patio about 8AM today

And I catch Shirley, Timmy's next door neighbor ( a miserable 84 yo widow) gathering leaves along her fence.

Shirley had some kind of Leaf Scooper & a Tote Bag. I stood there, staring at her. She saw me &
continued scooping. She deposited her leaves into the tote bag & then dumped them over her fence
into Timmy's yard!



Shirley is pretty well off. She has people that mow her lawn, rake her leaves and
tend to her flowers. In the Summer she has Garden Parties which I (a widower)
have never been invited to.

Shirley pissed me off!

Timmy blew it off...

"That's who Shirley is Pea" Timmy said to me...

Shirley pays people to maintain her lawn & garden.

Timmy goes to Gaudios

and grows tomatos, tomatoes, tomatose?

I was gifted my soda bread 28 hours ago & I still have a quarter of it left!

Timmy finished his about 12 hours ago!

I'm trying to hold out 'til Tuesday morning coffee!

for about 47 years our Big Sis has been making us 

Irish soda bread at Christmas.

I like Jimmy Kimmel, but he has really been passing along some misleading info lately...

I did not see his show when he said this but I read about it.

This is what the "fact checker" at The Washington Post wrote about

Kimmel's Monday night rant.

https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/kristine-marsh/2017/12/14/washpost-refuses-rate-kimmels-fiction-filled-rant-against-gop-tax

Don't know if you know this, but The Wash Post is not generally friendly

to Republicans and they felt a need to clarify what Kimmel was saying.

Oh those Happy High School days!

Isn't this the time of year when they have 50 year High School Reunions?

I know Tim & Maureen are excited about their 50th next year.

They are planning on taking the whole Family!

It's a Destination Reunion somewhere in the Bahamas...

The fires seem to be well north of there..

The Eagles/Rams game looks like it will happen.

The winds in the dry North today reached 80 mph

Christmas Week?

When does the week begin? This year Christmas is on a Monday.

I say it begins on Monday the 18th of December

Others say it began on Thanksgiving Day!

The reason the Topic came up is because Jason has a 

biz road trip to the chelsea on what I called Christmas Week.

He said Christmas Week does not start 'til the next Sunday, the 24th.

I disagreed and took a poll of the People!

The 17th of course! Duh...???

so many pancakes...

The Poll said that people feel that

Christmas Week starts any day you want it to!

when they were young you tell them anything...

but for this year Christmas Week begins on Sunday, Dec 17!

Christmas Week cannot begin on the 24th because that is 

Christmas Eve

...and that's my final answer...
