I think my wife's plan has a $150 deductible at the beginning of each year on this category. On drugs I believe that are small deductibles on coverage for the higher tier drugs that not generic. I know because my wife takes many drugs, she maxes out on her drugs and in November she starts getting "no charge" each time I pick up one of the 8 or 9 she uses, including two insulin injectibles.
Speaking of gas/electric hybrids, we haven’t heard from our friend @suydam in a very long time. Hasn’t he had a transplant in the past - hope he is okay?
I asked several months ago about suydam. It's been since January 10 since she posted from what I can find doing searches--that's 2021.
So, taking a break at halftime of the SB (don't plan on watching the halftime show). Surprised somewhat that the game is so close. Rams seemed flat, to my surprise. Bengals are very competitive. Could go either way in the 2nd half. Much-maligned Bengals O-line holding up OK so far.

Hilarious this depicts using fossil fuel to power the "clean" electric.
More Nuclear power plants are the way to go to generate the electricity for clean power.
Good luck building those nuclear plants with the environmentalists and NIMBY people going to court to block your project.

Ioniq looks very good. But Hyundai can’t seem to make a combustion engine that doesn’t blow up so I’d be hesitant to trust them in the EV space right now.

I for one think the big game was produced exceptionally well this year. Everything was spot on. The half time show whether you like that music or not was amazing and the audio was flawless. Many halftime shows you could hardly hear the singer.
The game IMO was tainted right from the missed face mask call that led to the Bengals TD. I am sure some will disagree but the PI call during the Rams goal line drive at the end of the game was a makeup call. They were letting that stuff go all game.
I’m bummed would have loved to see Cincy bring one home with the young QB.
Best commercial was the Electric Chevy truck with Meadow and AJ from the Sopranos. I also liked the spicy Dorito commercial.

We were rooting for the Rams but did agree the holding call was iffy at best. But, like you said, that wasn’t the only questionable penalty. They also missed a hold that resulted in a big first down for Bengals. So it probably all balanced out in the end.
My son predicted Kupp as MVP 2 weeks ago. That’s the only bet I won yesterday, thanks to not hitting the over. Lol.
Oh, and big congrats to all those sitting on a 3-0 box yesterday. Won the half and the final.

How do we go all electric because we can't produce enough electricity? And, as we discussed, how do people who park on the street, who live in older apartments, who park outside......hook their cars up?
And, how is the power grid going to handle cars going all electric?
Just like not every vehicle fills up at a gas station at the same time, every EV won’t charge up at the same time, either.
I have also seen studies that say the power grid cannot handle the demand. Unlike gas stations EV drivers can fill up at home. Tell me what happens early evening when millions of EV drivers suddenly plug in their cars after their even commute?
Maybe in Texas, but that’s a whole other debacle made of their own choosing.

Probably one of the best Super Bowl games I’ve seen in, well ever, except for the outcome. Calls, non-calls, head scratchers, all of it, happens every gamer. Probably do need to retrain or hire some better refs. Or, what should probably happen, make the rules simpler, instead of flagging for every little thing (taunting? Seriously?).
We (Bengals fans) didn’t think we’d be there this year. Next year? We fully expect to be back, and the year after that, and the year after that, etc.
The team brought a spotlight on our community, in a positive way. Proud of them and proud of being a fan and resident of the area.
I would say the best Super Bowls were 49(Pats 28 Seahawks 24) and 51(Pats 34 Falcons 28). Lots of scoring and decided at the end. 56 was a close game but lots of nothing going on for large stretches.

The most surprising thing to me, is the Bengals forced two turnovers, without turning the ball over, themselves. Generally, a two turnover margin in the Super Bowl would be the deciding factor.
If you'd told me that before the game, I would have given the Bengals a 90% chance to win.
@kyfdx, I'm not most of you. I didn't pick some of the other games because there wasn't much scoring or nothing dramatic happened at the end of the game.

I did not watch much of the game, but I did I love the GM Austin Powers commercial. I also loved the halftime show - super well done, outstanding audio quality. Also, judging by the content of many of the commercials along with performers at the half time show, I'm now officially old enough to be marketed to by advertisers during the superbowl...

I'm pretty sure most of us think the best Super Bowls are when NE loses..
I do not. But, win or lose, a Patriot Super Bowl has been a good football game (Hoodie/Brady era, that is).

For the refs to miss that face mask call when Joe Burrow threw that long pass for a TD was the final straw in my opinion that the game was one of the most poorly refereed of all time. Missed holding calls and other missed calls were extremely frustrating. Furthermore, calls that were made were questionable.
But the Bengals shut down the running game of the Rams for the most part which forced the Rams to pass more which added excitement to the game. And for such a young QB (Burrow) to show the poise and accuracy to bring his team to a Super Bowl is just short of miraculous.
IMHO, it was a great Super Bowl with exception of the officiating. But I beat the spread and benefitted nicely!
finally, a youtube car repair channel I can relate to. This is actually my plan for keeping busy after I retire (don't tell my wife...). And yes I expect it to go just about this well. The most important step? Keep buying new tools you have no clue how to use, just because they seem cool and you always wanted one.

As for the half time, I never watch the half time. That’s chow down time. Maybe I’m showing my age, just gimme the game.
Commercials? I don’t think they have been any good for a few years now. Again, probably my age showing.
One thing I know for sure, there will be a Super Bowl next year but the Steelers WILL NOT be in it or even close for that matter.

She is now 24 hrs out of procedure. Procedure was perfect just like in the computer run through they showed us after the CT scan data.
She spent more than a couple hours in the recovery process. Had some pain. Doing fine now using oxycontin as needed. Saw physical therapist this morning. He said the arm sling they gave her is too small. The surgeon signed his initials on her left arm. I'm not sure if that was before or after the surgery.

Before my total knee replacement, while waiting to go into surgery, after prepping the area, the nurses had me initial the correct leg. They told me the surgeon would look for those initials before starting.
