Who is actually paying that $8,000? Medicare Part D, prescription drug coverage, is offered through Medicare approved insurance companies. Not by Medicare itself. I agree it's a racket, but it seems like Big Pharma scamming the insurance companies. Which ultimately costs us in insurance.

I read a book in high school called "How To Lie With Statistics." I think that was when I first started questioning everything. It was a short book published in 1954. Today it would need to be much longer to get into tactics such as absolute versus relative numbers, etc.

Good point. That would be a very bad precedent.

I found a company that sells quality linen several years ago and have bought a lot of fabric from them. We only have Hobby Lobby here and ours sounds a lot like yours. There are some other online companies that sell fabric. I am in a couple of FB groups related to sewing so depend on referrals when I order fabric.

Thanks. I should have indicated the sarcasm in saying "I'm Nobody." I was replying to the comment that started out "Nobody makes clothes..." My mom taught me how to sew but I've never been into quilting. I fell in love with sewing because I could be creative and never have to worry about someone else showing up in the same outfit. It really did happen once.

Hi, I'm Nobody. And I know a lot of other nobodies online. Lots of us still make clothes and quilts. I learned to sew in the seventies out of desperation b/c my parents divorce. I make them now because the only things to buy are cheap, ready-made junk made out of petroleum-distillate and plastic fabrics.

Me neither. I noticed while they were watching fireworks that she was wearing flats.

Is that to help people out when there is an emergency? Or is it to create emergencies?

I remember a guy on telegram, but can't think of his name now.

My translation: "If we avoid another war, that means that Trump will be president. So we have to give him another pandemic."

Year round DST was tried in the late '70s or early '80s. By the second winter, parents were screaming b/c their kids went to school in the dark. So they backed off.
