Subj : Re: Millikan's was: Wegm To : Daryl Stout From : Nancy Backus Date : Mon Feb 03 2020 01:52:26 -=> Quoting Daryl Stout to NANCY BACKUS on 29-Jan-2020 08:55 <=- NB>> Yup... more'n likely... and probably some of that will start being NB>> covered, as well... :) DS> I have Medicare (disability) ONLY -- seven months before my wife DS> died 13 years ago, they took away my Medicaid and SSI, saying that DS> "between the 2 of us, $1500 a month was too much money". Then, in DS> having to put my Mom in a nursing home, she had to have under $2000 in DS> assets (she has been gone nearly 6 months now). And having inherited, you probably have too much in assets now also for Medicaid.... DS> Do NOT get me started on that. I saw where the amount of money spent DS> on political items (ads on radio, TV, newspaper, etc., shirts, signs, DS> bumper stickers, billboards, etc.) is in the billions if not trillions DS> of dollars. As soon as one political season ends, spending gears up DS> for the next one. DS> Overseas, one of the countries limits their political season to 8 DS> weeks from start to finish...and candidates are allowed ONLY one 90 DS> second spot. Needless to say, that wouldn't set well with the radio, DS> TV, newspaper, signage, etc. businesses. Ah, but it would set much better with the average consumer who is fed up with all the foolishness of our system.... DS>> With most of the rap music, and every other word a profanity, I DS>> remember what Janice lamented..."if that's music, we're doomed". NB>> I try not to have to listen to that... :) DS> Hard to find a decent radio station nowadays. Most of them are with DS> programming off of satellite feeds, with no local DJ's. If you have a smart speaker, you could tell it to "play Classical ninety-one five" and you'd get the station I listen to, WXXI 91.5FM... You could also get it streaming from their website, either wxxi.org or classical915.org from your computer... Those work anywhere in the world, I'm told... :) The announcers from 6-10am, 12-3pm and 3-7pm during the week are all local here.... From 10am-12 M-F is a syndicated show, Performance Today, with a live announcer... and 7-8pm M-F is another syndicated show, also with a live announcer... The weekends also have live announcers, some local and some syndicated... There are concerts in the evenings from 8-10 and Sunday from 3-5... Lots of good music round the clock... Right now I'm listening to Pipe Dreams, a syndicated show out of Minnesota that is primarily featuring the pipe organ... :) DS>> He was also an amateur radio operator, with the callsign K7UGA. An DS>> amateur radio club or museum in Arizona uses that callsign in DS>> memoriam. NB>> That makes sense... When he ran for president, I was too young to NB>> vote, but I did have a campaign sticker on my school notebook... :) DS> I'll bet most young people nowadays, wouldn't have a clue as to what DS> the original tagline with AuH2O stood for. Probably true.... DS> But, in other cases, "history teaches us that mankind learns nothing DS> from history". And sadly, also often true.... ttyl neb ....
