My husband learned that if you see a fraudulent charge on your Medicare bill and try to report it, you will hold for an hour, be sent a new Medicare card/number, and no one seems to care. It was an $11k charge.

And did you learn what it feels like to get picked? Or dismissed?
I learned that if you canāt get your signature notarized in person on at least one particular document, you can send pictures of you holding your drivers license under your face and of the license alone. I guess the Notary can use those as proof of identity of the signatories and notarize the document.
(My brother is transferring two of the family cemetery plots to me because when my mother bought them many many years ago, she only put my brother on as co-owner. He will keep two of the remaining four and I will get the other two.)

Thatās another one that they say not to laminate.
Both! They selected, sorted, and seated multiple times. I was selected twice, and seated once.

I learned that my nephew, who is 20, canāt be hired as an EMT by some jurisdictions because he isnāt 21. I can understand if theyād rather hire those who are older and who have more experience, but to say they CANāT be hired seems to me to be a violation of age discrimination laws that state you can only asked if someone is between 18 and 65 (a yes/no question, not require an answer of a number) unless the job requires a person of a certain age (like that a bartender must be 21 if state law requires that).
He doesnāt care and there are places that will hire him, but it just seemed wrong to me.

Where? I know NREMT requires applicants to be 18 to receive national certification. It must be an agency insurance issue.
It is. He passed the national test and filed for state certification yesterday. The metro departments will hire 18 year olds (I guess they are more desperate) but the mountain departments wonāt even let him apply. Like I said, they can choose the most qualified, but to state that you must be 21 seems wrong. Let everyone apply and then pick the most qualified.
He has a few leads on positions and heās doing an advanced class in the spring so he wonāt be just sitting around. He might even talk his way onto a ski patrol position.

I learned that safely disassembling and then removing a very heavy slate pool table from an upstairs bonus room will cost $1000 (at least according to Business#1).
I will be calling additional businesses to compare their prices.
This āThings to doā item removal may have to wait until after Christmas; bc Iām already feeling behind in this holiday planning process.

The sellers of our house conveniently left a large slate pool table in the basement game room. My husband was going to saw it into pieces and take it to the dump, but little kid did some research and found out that particular table costs $4K new, not counting delivery and set up. Her HS friend coincidentally was looking for one but couldnāt afford to buy. So we offered it to her for free as long as she could hire someone to move it. And she paid close to $1k for the table to be disassembled, transported, and reassembled at her newly purchased house! It was a win-win situation. But moving pool tables is super expensive! It took two guys half a day to complete the project.

My SILās dad wants to gift D1 and SIL his pool table when they move into their new home next month. I donāt think either D1 or SIL will want the pool table if they have to pay $1K to move it!

I may need to consider this as an option, bc I donāt care how it comes apart as long as itās done so safely. It can be totally destroyed.

That wearing my plain white tee shirt backwards is the best way to layer it under a pullover sweater and allow it to peek out at the neckline.

It may have to do with insurance. Many companies require 21+ to drive an emergency vehicle.
