ok, everyone's sharing what they're thankful for. this is mine-

i'm starting to find the silver lining in living alone.
i never really have, until 2020. even if it was only friends that were close enough to be part of my day-to-day life.
all that ended in jan last year, and it's been tough. since june this year, i dont even have a tenant.
but right now, i am actually thankful that i went through a lot, alone. nobody to help me, but also, nobody to judge me.
i've been quite the hot mess, and i'm so grateful for the absence of side-eye, tongue clucking and i told ya so.
it's a new phase of comfort in my own skin.
free to totally fuck up, and apologize to no one.

anyone else here use tidal?

my kid, the drummer, signed up for a free trial, and bugged me to try it.
then he upgraded his free trial to a family membership, and set me up.
he's all about the audio quality, which is nice. lots of stuff that is masters.

i like it, but i think the algorithm is a bit weird. i gave them a lot of artists that i like, but it seems intent of serving up the artists it finds 'related' more than the actual picks.
i suppose it will get better if i use it more.

anyone else?

hey lounge. anyone looking for a one of a kind apartment in chicago?

i hope it's okay to post this here. could be considered spam.
but a) i'm pretty proud of it. poured a lot of money into it this last year.
but also b) i cant imagine anything better than having a du'er for a tenant.

i know there are a lot of my chitown peeps on here. can y'all spread the word?

ok, so who loves their medigap plan?

i had a bcbs ppo, a spendy one, but dont feel i got my money's worth.

most of my docs are in a huge group that takes most plans.
need dental, and vision would be nice.
dont take a lot of meds, but ya never know.

the worst thing about the bcbs was that it actually wasnt them. they farmed out the customer service. had billing problems that werent handled well.

i dont know why this shit is so complicated. had insurance of many kinds all my life, and it was never this nuts.
