re: Anyone taking Repatha?
Posted by Skippy1013 on 6/25/26 at 5:20 pm to DeltaTigerDelta
I’ve taken it for over 2 years and have zero side effects. My cholesterol levels are now excellent. I have high cholesterol due to genetics, because I’m not overweight, eat healthy and exercise. I took statins prior to Repatha, but had some side effects. It’s kind of expensive, my insurance pays some and my pharmacy gets a coupon from the manufacturer, thus making my out of pocket only $25 per month.

She is embarrassed to tell you, but wants to look better and get healthier. Do you love her? I would not make a big issue out of this, she is going through a lot with the breast cancer thing.

They want fees. They will reduce your rate by .5%, but put their fees inside the new mortgage.

They can spray and clean for this and install UV lights, cost would be about $1000
Media and lots of people using the term “We are at War”
Posted by Skippy1013 on 5/28/26 at 5:38 pm
I guess I think a little different when it comes to “war”. We have not declared war on Iran and they, as far as I know have not declared war on us. This is called “Operation Epic Fury”.
It’s more like a military operation such as Venezuela, Panama, Grenada, but admittedly much more in depth. However, the actual “Hot” part of the operation was very short, not like Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam Nam, Korea or the World Wars.
I believe 13 soldiers have been killed, 7 in Kuwait from a drone attack and 6 when a KC-135 crashed in a non-hostile situation.
Are we at war? Is this a media driven term to try to upset people, harm the economy or make the Administration look bad. Is it pushed to give talking points for the upcoming mid-term elections.

I watch him and he has some good advice, but is wrong in his stock picks a lot.
Last month, he said to stay far away from Ford, it’s up 33% since that show. Yesterday, he destroyed Microsoft, today it’s up 3.2%.
Nobody really knows, that’s why Index Funds over a long period is the way.

Yes, because we were in a recession with low demand. That’s how it works.

Big 3 SEC finishes
Posted by Skippy1013 on 5/17/26 at 11:18 am
Football - 10th out of 16 teams - fired the coach, he hid the QB injury, forced it and it backfired and cost him. If he had developed and played a backup, won against Vandy and won one more, he would still be the coach.
Basketball - 14th out of 16 teams - fired the coach, should have been fired a year earlier.
Baseball - 13th out of 16 teams. Coach is safe, but lost his edge. Wrongly evaluated transfer players. Bad pitching was the #1 problem, had pitching been just average, we could have won a handful of games and have a sure shot at post season.
I cannot remember it ever being this bad for the Big 3. We also lost in each Big 3 sports to Ole Miss and Vandy (the school many say should not be in the SEC)
Really tough to accept, but it’s got to get better.

When Bill Cassidy gets bounced out, not making the general election, expect this…
Posted by Skippy1013 on 5/14/26 at 1:32 pm
He will be a lame duck from now until January of 2027. I fully expect him to show his true colors and become an obstacle to the Trump Administration in every way, shape and form. I’m sure Mitch McConnell and others will also do this.
Don’t expect any significant positive movement in the House or Senate for 7 months and if either of the chambers are lost to the D’s, don’t expect any positive progress for the remainder of Trump’s term.

Tacky, but it’s on private property, Trump’s property, so why should anyone care.

Trump himself is not planning these missions. This is done by the military, presented through the chain of command for agreement and approval, then executed.

It’s a form letter intended to CYA for the insurance company in case they fight the settlement demands, go to trial and have a verdict in excess of your policy limits.
Unless you carry minimum limits, don’t worry about it. Also, if your daughter is over 18, you are good to go, she is responsible, not you and she likely has no assets of any significance.

Yes, they don’t work very well, but I use it to get an occasional leaf or minor dirt and debris in small areas. Just for convenience.
