February 16, 20232 yr Crazy weather for February. Couldn’t have picked better time to make a quick three day getaway to Rehoboth Beach.

March 5, 20232 yr I just picked up script that would have cost me close to $400. I’m retired and have my scripts covered by Silver Scripts. Haven’t met my deductible yet otherwise it would have been around $130ish. That said, I used a coupon from Good Rx and cost me $124. How the hell does this work ? I pay monthly for my coverage but nothing to Good Rx ?

I pay monthly for my coverage but nothing to Good Rx ? I have no idea how anything with insurance/drug company costs works anymore. My daughter is on a long-term prescription medication. Her dose used to be 1.5 pills of a certain size. The insurance would only cover 1 pill per month so we had to pay for the 1/2 pill every day. Her dose was recently increased to the equivalent of 2 pills per day, but they make a larger pill that is that dose so she takes 1 larger pill instead of 2 smaller pills. Since it is only 1 pill per day, the insurance covers the entire prescription even thought it is more medication than she was taking before. Just utter nonsense.

March 9, 20232 yr TUBTHOUGHTS 2: ECLECTIC* BOOGALOO About 12 years ago I bought a badger hair shaving brush. It was a delight. It spread hot cream smooth and evenly all over my face. But I quickly learned that it wasn't the best choice for my scrotal needs. While badger hair is soft and durable, it has just a little too much "give". As you all know, I suffer from a skin condition in my pubic area resulting from some ill-advised amourous choices made in my youth. This condition results in a chronic itch that is physically uncomfortable and mentally distracting. Typically, I spend about 2-3 hours per day scratching the affected area with a souvenir pewter lobster fork that, as a side note, I actually purloined from a restaurant in the Dardanelles while on a archaeological expedition to investigate the historicity of King Priam (incidentally, the haft of the fork was embossed with a delicate bas relief of the Zoroastrian god Ahura Mazda [which is not, despite popular belief, Nichelle Nichols' Miata]). Anyway, I regularly shave all areas of said pubis to both increase access for different medications and because - let's face it - the ladies love it. But I knew I needed something a little more robust than badger hair to apply the custom-formulated shave cream that I ordered from a Dravidian apothecary in Coimbatore. So, one day I'm driving down the Ridgeway and I see some carrion birds picking at a road-killed hedgehog carcass. I put the dead animal in the boot of my Reliant Robin and took it home. Now here's the important part... animal skins are typically softened and treated before being applied to human use, but I wasn't having it. I meticulously pulled hairs from the pelt as they were, sun dried and wiry, then set them in a bone handle base with fair-trade organic glue. The result was a very stiff shaving brush with the strength and itch-relief benefits of steel wool without the bleeding and tetanus. It's not all shites and giggles - my bits do smell like dead animal - but that histamine endorphin rush, that wonderful moment of respite, so worth it. - Tubthoughts *get it?

March 10, 20232 yr When modern cosmology/cosmogony was first starting to take shape in the early/mid 20th century, theories about the first few moments of the Big Bang assumed certain temperatures that would have resulted in an particular electromagnetic signature that peaked in the microwave range of the spectrum, but at a really low amplitude. They called it cosmic microwave background radiation. But it was just theoretical because we didn't have the instrumentation to detect it. Later, a couple of Bell scientists in New Jersey were using a big radio telescope to look for something completely unrelated. It was a very sensitive telescope for its time and they kept encountering "noise" that was a nuisance to their readings. At first, they thought it was something localized to a region of space so they started pointing the telescope in different directions but still got the same signal. Then they thought it must have been some interference from ground sources so they drove around the town with detectors. Nothing. So they started inspecting the telescope itself looking for flaws. They ended up scraping off layers of what they referred to in their report as a "white dielectric substance". Was Penzias in there tossing off to a Joey Heatherton calendar? No. It was pigeon shite. So problem solved, right? Wrong. The signal remained. Finally they started asking around at Princeton and found a physicist who informed them of what they had found - confirmation of the CMBR and shortly thereafter a pair of Nobel prizes. CVON is full of pigeons.
