So with the big holiday fast approaching you can confide in us. We won't tell.
What do you think you be getting or what do you want to get on the big day? Maybe...what do you wish you be getting but there is no chance you will?
OK I'll start. It's easy cause I don't celebrate Christmas. I already got my lump of coal a few weeks ago.
already know what I'm getting cause i bought it. Some Stirling Bay Rum shave soap.
Like tintin, I bought my own.
Dior Sauvage AS
Yeah...I know what I'm getting.!
A healthy bill from the hospital, for my last heart attack. 12/15
I figure it will come by Amazon, their faster than the post office. :rofl2:
My Missus bought me Stirling Gentleman and the post shave balm plus a new Boar brush for it but I don't know about it because it's a surprise :ziplip:
Do you have insurance coverage for that, from what I've heard American Medical treatment can be out of this world. I would like to move to the States but the cost of Medical scares me, I am retired so I would have to find my own insurance and I'm diabetic so that wouldn't help I'm sure.Quote:

Hospital in Canada is free on our provincial health plans, well not quit free, we pay a couple hundred bucks a year through our taxes on a sliding scale depending on income.
Best wishes to ya Mike. Keep those away my friend. I hear they are not good for ya!
I bought myself a 35" curved ultra.wide monitor for my radio room. I was using two monitors but now its just one. Now if I could learn to do some of that gaming stuff Id have the monitor for it but my computer is not up to par for that stuff. Oh well.
The wife bought me a Naniwa 12k Superstone, a tub of Epsilon shave soap and an alum stick.
Pretty sweet.

The hospital has a few options on ways to help me out.
Hopefully it'll cover the majority, if not all of the bills.
Fingers crossed.....meds are already over $200 a month, now that I'm on insulin.....for now. Quitting smoking, pays for that
Fingers crossed Mike, that scary situation is why I couldn't come live in the States so Oregon, New England or Scotsdale will have to go on without me unfortunately.Quote:

So far I've paid less, than those with insurance
Not to digress, but I worked for Uncle Sam and with my great benefits I pay almost $900 a month and Uncle Sam pays around $1200 a month. That doesn't include copays and many other expenses which add up to thousands a year.Quote:

Good lord, $900 per month. I assume that covers your wife and maybe kids but even so, How do guys pay your medical insurance and still have a roof over your head not to mention eating or driving a car?Quote:

I do pay for my own prescriptions (about $90 every 6 month) until I'm 65, then it's $4.11 only for each med.
Luckily insulin is cheap here, almost $100 for a box of 5 cartridges and they last me quite a while because I only use it when my sugar goes nuts.
OK guys, we need back on track.
Maybe a medical/ insurance thread. We might learn something that could benefit others.
We is gettin old.....yup.
But......I stopped at a Arabic barber shop today. Was curious to what they might have . got a puck of William Marvy Co. shave soap.
Merry Christmas... To me.!

Take care of yourself Mike. Getting old sucks but the alternative isn't so great either.
The wife is giving me a present I bought for myself. Wade & Butcher Barber's Special. I never even knew there was such a thing. From the measurements the seller posted it looks like it's a size up from the regular Special.

Not only is she the first millwright I’ve ever hired without a penis, she is holding her own with all those that have one, and is really an asset to my squad from an energy perspective.
Her gift just took me back a step cause it’s so damn thoughtful. That I’m not used to from millwrights…..
Thorough with their work yes, but thoughtful,,, not so much.. most won’t even tell ya when your fly is down, hehe.
Cheers men. May we all feel that glow I did today, this holiday season!
Present to myself.

Don’t know why people say I’m hard to buy for,,,,
Soo easy if you know where to shop,
Here’s to a hobby filled year lads. I needed a couple of these for some rather hard exotic wood turning projects patiently waiting on the bench, in the dust….
