Greetings and may this blog find you in amazing health 💪 with your Medicare insurance coverage 🏥 working properly.
The Annual Election Period is under three weeks away. Part D drugs are going to be a pain in the… see Q’s friend below.
Fancy/schmancy drugs are going to require your attention👁️!
Have you received the Annual Notice of Changes by email or mail? Please take a moment to review it.
Some Medicare Advantage Plans and Part D Plans will have changes to premiums and drug tiers, while others will stay the same or be discontinued.
For some, no action is needed, others may need to make changes. Hopefully, we won’t need a priest!
October 14th till December 7th, that’s when we can understand and change coverage.
Please book a time on my calendar if you need me.
If we have your drug list, don’t fill out a new one, please email Gray@TheBig65.com an updated list.
You should receive a jar opener and a letter next week.
ANYONE calling without your permission is an illegal telemarketer🚫🤥📱. Watch out for Medicare scammers like these baboons. Took us all week to get Bob’s scammer’s mistakes resolved.
Yeah, it’s true, Medicare and Elections are a pain in the … but, let’s not forget all we have to be thankful for.
Props to Bill in Durango for guessing my wife Q’s current country, Ethiopia.
Last week, rebels captured the UNESCO castles near Gondar and Q was forced to return to Addis Ababa.
Good news, the rebels retreated, the army regained control, and Q was able to make new friends and see the castles.
See all the other tourists? That’s because there aren’t any. Q was the only non soldier at her hotel.
Imagine if you were living in a civil war?
America is imperfect at best and it is still the most amazing country. As an old classmate’s Lebanese grandfather said, “the US is the land of milk and honey.”
Our home is the land of one gallon of milk and one hundred sixty four pounds of honey🍯from our two hives🐝. Last year, we harvested sixty eight. Plato was proud.
Neighbor Jeff’s been out of our honey for a while. He likes to put it in his oatmeal in the winter.
According to our bees, it’s gonna be a hard winter in Colorado.
Of course we can’t live on honey alone. Fortunately, there are other superfoods in the kitchen🍎.
Here are highlights of a recent article on apples and Plato hopes you wait for it.
Good for Your Gut: Apples are full of fiber, feeding healthy bacteria, the microbiome. These bacteria can improve your health, lowering cancer risk and boosting mood.
Coffee is packed with antioxidants and can boost heart health, improve mood, and even lower the risk of certain diseases. Why not coffee and apples?
Heart Helpers: Apples have a fiber called pectin that can lower cholesterol. One study showed eating apples every day dropped bad LDL cholesterol! Apples also have polyphenols that help lower blood pressure.
Fight Inflammation: Apples reduce inflammation, lowering the risk of diseases like COPD. Even eating half an apple a day can make a difference!
I’m guessing the original stone masons suffered from a lot of inflammation. This is Lalibela, home to the largest monolithic church in the world, a series of five interconnected churches carved from solid rock in the twelfth and thirteenth century.
Don’t Skip the Skin: The apple’s skin has most of the fiber and health-boosting polyphenols. Darker apples usually have more, but try different varieties for the best benefits!
And do try to buy your produce at a local farmer’s market.
Regardless of where you buy, wash all fruits and vegetables with baking soda.
So despite all the noise here and abroad, remember…
We do live in the land of milk and honey…and apples. Give thanks, help others.
There is no “them” there is only us.
And Happy Anniversary 🎉❤️🥂 to Becky and Joe, 36 and counting…well done!
Keep squeezing the juice out of life and look for ways to help others!
If family or friends need help… referrals are the lifeblood of my business.
