Don't you mean 50S? I hope the price of natural gas spikes - bet you can't guess why I'd like to see that happen.

Looks like the markets are trying to claw their way back. Thinking/hoping it will carry over to Monday, but not convinced. That's why I'm keeping 50% in the F'n fund.

Then again, I'm on Vicodin for post op. knee surgery.

13 Reasons to Smile

Now that food has replaced sex in my life, I can't even get into my own pants.

Marriage changes passion.
Suddenly you're in bed with a relative.
I saw a woman wearing a sweat shirt with "Guess" on it.
So I said "Implants?" She hit me.

How come we choose from just two people to run for
president and over fifty for Miss America?
A good friend will come and bail you out of jail...but, a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, "Wow...that was fun!"

I signed up for an exercise class and was told to wear loose-fitting clothing. If I HAD any loose-fitting clothing, I wouldn't have signed up in the first place!
When I was young we used to go "skinny dipping," now I just "chunky dunk."

Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.
Wouldn't it be nice if whenever we messed up our life we could simply press 'Ctrl Alt Delete' and start all over? AMEN, AMEN !!

Why is it that our children can't read a Bible in school, but they can in prison?
Wouldn't you know it...
Brain cells come and brain cells go, but FATcells live forever.

Why do I have to swear on the Bible in court when the Ten Commandments cannot be displayed outside?

Weatherweenie,
Sorry to post this here, but it's the quickest way of requesting your opinion in another thread. Thanks in advance!

Re: Health-Plan Options
Weatherweenie and Scout333 have posted important cost-rises and also BCBS increases. Help anyone! Can someone give a summary of the best Health-Plan option. I've always been with BCBS for my wife and me, and I don't like the HMO thing. Rather I have the preferred physician or PPO ( don't know the exact name). I also am re-enlisting in the FSA (Fexible Savings accounts) for 2007. So far it's working well, as explained by Fundsurfer. Now I am looking to join the new dental plan. Has anyone compared which is the better Dental Plan? I heard say that BCBS was not selected as an intermediary for this. Thanks in advance for your opinions!

I'm going to give the Aetna Health Fund/Health Savings Account a try. I had been on Aetna's Open Access HMO, but they priced me out of that plan.

Weatherweenie,

Thank you for the information. I am undecided whether to go with MetLife or Aetna. If you or anyone else can shed light on the differences i will greatly appreciate it! I prefer not to go with an HMO, though.

I've heard nightmare stories about HMO's Like a doctor recomending a by-pass operation and the HMO crew said no do a stint because it cost less. They did the stint then had to repeat the operation because he had another heart attack. Doctor said by-pass again HMO said stint again. and that procedure failed. Bottom line HMO would rather have you die than pay.

Don't know about MetLife, but after getting refills on some prescriptions, I think I might end up going with the Basic option of Aetna's Open Acess HMO.

Taking some off the table, just in case.

Not ready to go with the I fund, because I'm not sure the dollar has anywhere to go but up.

 

[weatherweenie]

Also took some off, because the sp500 isn't showing any staying power above 1415 for now.
