re: Medical Insurance Doubled
Posted by Disco Ball on 1/3/26 at 1:40 am to Randman
In my previous post regarding your sons potential federal premium subsidy of 486 per month I failed to mention that with an annual income of 16,000 he will also qualify for a 94% CSR aka Cost Sharing Reduction. This means that 94% of the policies out of pocket costs (deductibles, Co-Insurance, Co-Pays etc.) will be reduced leaving you with a only few hundred in potential annual out of pocket costs.
With a subsidy you would only have a 48.00 per month premium and basically nothing out of pocket considering plans today average 8500.00 annual out of pocket costs.
Keep in mind though that for him to qualify for a premium subsidy you can't claim him as dependent anymore at tax time. I'm assuming that if you're paying the health insurance for a 21 year old he must be a student.

In MS if your son has an AGI of 16,000 he qualifies for a federal premium subsidy of 486 per month.
I just ran a BCBS of LA quote for a 21 year old.
An HMO is 396 to 605 per month.
A real Health Insurance policy is 543 to 827.

re: My boy completed his Eagle Scout Project today
Posted by Disco Ball on 12/27/25 at 10:01 pm to LSUGUMBO
Congratulations!
It's more of an accomplishment than most realize.
I remember it well.
Eagle Scout 1982
Troop 128 Baton Rouge
Multiple Eagle Scout projects but the big one was painting a number of the rooms inside the USS Kidd before it opened to the public in 1983

re: Great horned owls
Posted by Disco Ball on 12/26/25 at 4:35 pm to Lonnie Utah
I love all birds of prey but especially owls.
I spend much time hiking and camping and I run into Barred Owls everywhere and I mean EVERYWHERE. The four ponds behind the house are loaded with Barreds.
I never see Great Horned or Eastern Screech Owls and I'm not sure why.
The timing of this thread was perfect. I was just watching this youtube video

ATT 1 GB Fiber equals
943Mbps wired and
722Mbps wifi
Tested a moment ago.
I'm no network expert but I think that's sufficient

I have a friend that gives out $2 bills, he orders them from his bank.
In 1976 the $2 bill was reintroduced as well as the $2 stamp.
The U.S. was in a bicentennial frenzy and we were all a drunk on patriotism.
The word on the streets was that if you affixed the $2 stamp to the $2 bill and had it postmarked at your local post office that 100 of them would pay for your kids college education in twenty years.
My mother fell for it.
What the hell do I do with all these stamped $2 bills. Lol

I was in Manhattan and there was a little cafe/ coffee shop next door to the hotel and they gave change less than $5 in $1 coins. Like if you gave them $10 and your order was $6, they gave you back four $1 coins. I think they did that figuring people would drop the coins in the tip jar.
Lol. You've obviously never been to a bar

The path less traveled is less danger, less stress and always more interesting.
