Ocean Boy Posted March 8 #116826 Share Posted March 8 2 hours ago, FromSea2ShiningSea said: Yesterday morning, a tire fell off of a United Airlines jetliner bound for Osaka, Japan during its take-off from SFO. The plane made an emergency landing in LAX. That loose tire smashed into a small compact car in an employee parking lot where it then bounced off and totally crushed a red Tesla. Fortunately, no one was hurt. This is the same flight/plane we will be taking for our trip to Japan in 2 weeks. Yikes! 😬 I hope it will be a boring non eventful flight for us. I saw that on the news. Very interesting to actually see the video of the tire dropping off. I'm wondering if that tire was recently changed and someone either didn't put the lug nuts on or didn't tighten them. I just heard that two planes just clipped each other in Miami. I don't have details yet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefly333 Posted March 8 #116828 Share Posted March 8 The last 2 weeks I've sure seen some nice waterfront properties come up. I put alerts for anything over 1500 sf where I am and a few other places, venice where my cousin lives and miami downtown. A nice looking unit in downtown Miami bricknell came on the market and 12 days later was contingent, $378k I think. About $950 hoa. That price imo is cheap. Condo glut downtown miami says CNBC. (Doesnt apply to Miami beach realtor says). I saw a pretty huge house on a canal this morning sunny yellow. It was over $1m lol but pretty. Some others on canals. Some really interesting property being listed. Idk what this is worth, but a $400k drop imo indicates a soft condo market. I'll get a alert if it sells here, it's close to where I'd think so. Nice sized for oceanfront. John's was a nice size. I love real estate even if I'm just looking. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keksie Posted March 8 #116830 Share Posted March 8 @Jimbo I saw my doctor yesterday and got a prescription for Metformin. My A1C was 5.7 and I want to lose a few lbs. Diet and exercise has not changed an ounce in the last few years so I need to try something. My insurance only covers Metformin or Jardiance so we are trying the Metformin first. It was $6.00 for a month's supply. I will have blood work in 3 months to see what happens. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you end up on Jardiance, they have a coupon program that you can apply for which has saved us a lot. CVS pharmacy actually suggested it to us and my DH filled out the online form and got the coupon immediately. It works for an entire year and then you just reapply. It took a $200 prescription down to $50 on our old insurance and has it at $25 on our current insurance. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at 6.4 just a couple months ago and finally agreed to try 500mg metformin. Hasn’t been long and haven’t had a follow up blood work up yet to know what it’s doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ozark_Kid Posted March 9 #116837 Share Posted March 9 2 hours ago, reallyitsmema said: Question from a black thumb gardener, why pull the bulb up too? I leave them in for the next year, though the chipmunks and squirrels eat them or relocate them. They don't touch daffodils though. Kenzie's family is in the flower business. They have several beds they grow flowers in. They are using one of mine for tulips. Since Tuesday they have pulled about 400 tulips from beds. She has planted 3,000 tulips this year. There are a few reasons tulips are grown as annuals and thus the bulbs left on. Once the tulips are all pulled the beds can be used again. My bed should be emptied by April 7 leaving it available for more summer flowers or vegetable plants. With the bulb on tulips can store about 2 weeks longer in a cool area. Also it's easier to get a longer stem for display when the bulb is pulled. 3 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJSailors Posted March 9 #116842 Share Posted March 9 Re:With Jardiancec and, possibly,Metformin, the commercials note that patients loose a certain amount of weight combining medication with diet and lifestyle changes. Obviously, a patient cannot remain on a high caloric diet, take the medication and expect great changes in weight. MJ🙋🏻♀️ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was already in her 90s and didnt drive so maybe all we cared about was close up. Good to know. Thanks. My hubby had cataract surgery last year. He was given 3 choices. #1 fully covered by insurance but still need glasses. #2 would have cost around $1000 per eye but still need reading glasses or #3 cost around $1800 per eye and no glasses. He picked #3 and is so happy he did. He has worn glasses since he was in elementary school and contacts for many years. No glasses or contacts needed. Perfect vision now. $9000 sounds rather high. I would double check that $$ 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would double check that $$ Yea suspiciously high but this doctor just started his own practice. The day I came in another older patient kinda whispered to me that this doctor is really good. I think he got the surgery and very happy. He was there for a follow up visit after surgery. So I'll probably just go on with it, though I agree prices he is quoting he must be making out somehow. But i think hes good. He gives off a good confidence. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have details yet. From what some aviation experts say is that a loose tire is normally a maintenance issue and not a problem created by the manufacturer. So in this case, I guess the maintenance team that changed the tire didn’t do a very good job at tightening the lug nuts. I just read that in Miami, apparently, an American Airlines plane’s wing clipped the tail of a Frontier Airlines plane that was parked at a gate preparing to board passengers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, why not just cut the the flowers off just above the ground and put in water. My guess is maybe though since the bulbs are so close together, need to thin out the bed and replant anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I never had to wear glasses until I turned 40, my eyes got progressively worse over the years. I love not having to wear glasses anymore! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
