I thought Social Security told me I was getting a Medicare card. What I received was a Medi-cal card instead. Is that better or worse?

That means that you are not the old wolf. You have a few more years till you make the magic age of 65.

Your worry now is if the state checks will bounce redbounceredbounce

I didn't plan on a long lasting thread. It began as a cry for help over a mother, dog, police problem and expanded exponentially.

"Expanded exponentially" - sort of like my waistline. --FLO--

Flo - You mean "our" waistline.

Life is much better now and I'm not rich.

Used to be I could see the screen with my glasses on. Not so lately, so I went for an eye exam. Seems my eyes have improved. So I ordered new specs.

Three pairs of new glasses:

1) General all-around glasses

2) Prescription sunglasses to halt the spread of my mini-cataracts

3) Glasses just for my computer

Total cost $551.00 as Medi-cal paid zilch.

On the plus side I can see

You got by cheap. That is about what I pay for one pair, and I still need the damned white cane...

I paid about $650 for two pair of glasses. A bifocal for general use and the other a reading for computer work. You're not alone.

Once you have the prescription you can go to a internet store and get glasses for under $100. May even get 2 pair.

This is a day of joy. I received three funny emails from Jesus and, at the push of a button, instantly deleted 1,356 spam messages.

I have my spam filter on auto-forward. You deleted all that yummy stuff I sent you?

If that makes his day, perhaps I should forward all the spam the EA gets to him. I wonder how excited he'd be to get all that?

So tell me IE, how many does the EA get per day?

If I knew how, I'd re-forward it to IEunuch, he so dearly loves fan mail.

Think the chat room part of the EA gets 100-200 spams a day. A spike may have been close to 300. If I just had a dollar $ put in my bank account for every spam

On average, the site receives about a thousand spam email a day.

Everyone be aware that some system is sending spams as "XXXX member @ eunuch.org." Often has viruses, attached. Be wary of what you open in email. Communicate here using PM - safer...

I have a new situation though, not necessarily bad.

There is a homeless family living in my garage. It consists of my lawn man, his wife and 14 year old daughter. They say they huddle on the floor and keep warm at night.

In return for the gourmet garage accommodations, he keeps my yard up and the wife has become my housekeeper. She starts cleaning today. Gawd knows I need help in house cleaning. I am such a oinker and my arthritus (sp) limits what I can get done.

You have a most interesting life, Mr. Wolf. --FLO--

So far, my garage housekeeper has cleaned two bathrooms, living room, dining room, my den and the kitchen. She works on my mom's bedroom today.

On the negative side, I need too evict them before Housing Authority gets on my case.

I would wait until the authorities ordered them out. --FLO--

When my guests leave, I'll have no one to clean my house.

Uncle Flo - if Daughter ever gets to be a burden, I'll give her free room & board here in exchange for housework and snuggling.

Daughter is chasing me with an ax

Except for my bedroom, my house is clean Even my garage is clean. And I'm no longer in fear of Housing Authority. Mother and daughter sleep in mom's old bedroom for ten more days.

Just make sure they dont clean you out...

True enough, even people who are normally honest can be driven to dishonesty by desperate circumstances. --FLO--

My bedroom is clean. The mom vacuums daily and she's cleansing my fridge. The daughter does dishes daily and helps me shop.

So far, it's a win-win situation.
