[quote]People need to take some of the power back from big business and big government (which is even worse).[/quote]
Right now, we are at the mercy of both. Insurers are driven by profits, since they are businesses. But, these businesses get a lot of their revenue from the government, via partne...

People use arguments like this as a reason private insurance is better than single payer. The corporate/government partnership insurance system we have now is no better for people. ...
re: Cat Advice
Posted by Rick9Plus on 5/5/24 at 1:52 pm
It takes several months for cats to get used to each other. Give them treats together, so they associate the treats with each other. Give them separate food and water dishes and litter boxes so they don’t feel like they have to stake out territory. ETA one cat might try to steal the other’s treats s...
re: Tell me about your club days
Posted by Rick9Plus on 5/5/24 at 9:18 am
First “club” was The Shelter on Third Street with a fake id. Then i switched gears and tried to get into Senor Frogs in Tigerland, but the bouncer wasn’t buying my id. I had to wait out in the car while my friends partied. ...

I kind of know what you mean. Remember after the 2016 flood, how there was all this federal money and all these donations and programs? Does anyone here know where it went or anyone who was helped? ...

re: Just diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes
Posted by Rick9Plus on 4/28/24 at 10:35 am
Yeah, my SO eats meat or eggs and vegetables for meals, and for snacks, trail mix of nuts and dried fruit. The meat isn’t even totally lean (not just chicken breast.) There are recipes online for the Whole 30 program that i’ve used. That diet also helped my son mostly clear his eczema and 2 other sk...

re: Just diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes
Posted by Rick9Plus on 4/27/24 at 10:57 am
I’m late to the party but as far as controlling diabetes and eating with the family, my SO did it. We cook a lean meat, a vegetable, and a starch for supper. Say, chicken, broccoli, and potatoes. The one with diabetes skips the potatoes. Brought their A1C from 8 to 4.5 by basically eating only lean ...

I currently have a 2000 sf home in a decent but not “posh” neighborhood. No way i’m upgrading with today’s prices and rates. Hell, i probably couldn’t afford to buy it today. I regularly get calls and texts from “people” wanting to buy it without even looking at it. My neighborhood has more renters ...
