Is it an enclave or an exclave? I never could figure out the difference. I know Cabinda is an "exclave" of Angola.

Cueta, where they broke through, is North Africa. It is technically "Spain," but this is not mainland Spain.
Your Go-To Sunscreen
Posted by RanchoLaPuerto on 7/26/26 at 5:04 pm
One or our baws posted recently that he has melanoma, and he urged everyone to wear sunscreen.
What are you all using? I am doing a lot more outdoors and have been using spray on Banana Boat (SPF 30). I just upgraded (I think) to Sun Bum (70 cream for face, 50 spray for the rest).
I can Chat GPT it or Google it, but I would like to hear what people actually use and how it works.

This is the question: If I 'quit' my job, will I still be able to use COBRA to get this hip replacement done?
I'm no expert, but your group may be too small to qualify you for COBRA. You had better check that.
My wife is of a certain age, and we use her heatlh insurance. She is close enough to Medicare to quit and COBRA out until then. But remember that you have to pay the ENTIRE premium yourself.
You might want to talk to a lawyer about ADA protections. That might be enough to keep them from firing you.
I had one hip done, and I was able to work within a day or two. But I have a desk job. Recovery from a hip is really not bad.
Good luck. When you head off to the hospital, tell everybody you are going to buy a very expensive joint.

It was driven by tax credits.
Those aren’t there, or at least not like they were.
Ergo . . . .
Louisiana also screwed the pooch with pipeline legislation.

My parents could not buy braces for me. So I had crooked teeth.
In my 30s, I paid for my own. It wasn't a "thing." It was a need that I supplied for myself.
