A social worker friend of mine insisted I go with regular Medicare when I first signed up due to my disabled status. I’ve never been more grateful for a piece of advice ever.

You may have seen a lot of ads for “Medicare Advantage,” as open enrollment begins this year.

Watch our video to learn the truth. Only Medicare is Medicare!

I know how old I am and yet...I'm so old. And also this entire thread brings me joy.

I am forcing my friend, whose mom was in Highlander fandom and wrote Highlander fanfic back in the day, to explain Highlander to me. I will be updating this thread with my findings.

Former Superman actor Henry Cavill was injured while training for the Highlander reboot, delaying the film.

That backstory is WILD. The director was like "Yes THIS is the epic theatrical OTT band I need" & gave Queen a preview. They went home wrote stuff IMMEDIATELY & the HL songs became most of their A Kind of Magic album.

This is the second positive Wingfield mention in the past two days. Perhaps the universe is telling me to find a way to watch HL immediately!

A small doublehandled white cup or bowl sits on a wooden shelf with two other bowls of similar shape. The wide rim of the bowl is painted green and there is a single green heart on the side facing the viewer.

A number of tiles in blue, white, and gold. Each tile looks to be about 3 x 4. There are a variety of patterns and shades.

I wrote a trilogy of novels published by HarperCollins about a brother and sister caught on opposite sides of the war to unite Viking Age Norway.

Today is my birthday and if you are inclined to share this, it would be a lovely present!

Just another photo of Emerald Lake, Yoho National Park, Canada. #NaturalBeauty

A photo of a mountain lake. The water is clear and calm. There is a reflection of a rocky mountain and trees in the background. The mountain has a light layer of snow and white clouds at the top. It's a beautiful, sunny October day.

Most of rural Alaska is Alaska Native. Bonus donating to support Alaska Native people on Indigenous Peoples Day.

Western Alaska was hit hard by the recent storms. Houses floated away in Kipnuk, houses flipped over, people lost everything from the flooding that came with the storms. Please donate if you can. This group has a long history of supporting AK communities.
