Why do you refer to your cats as "idiots"?The idiots all settled down after their 4:30 am breakfast but now we are sleepy. This is why we are punishing them with a puppy in 8 weeks and a baby in 5 months

I've called mine brats and jerks, with no malice. I'm sure

is the same way.

Basically we have a few choice words when the cats act up. āIdiotsā, ādomesticated weaselsā, āwee beastiesā if we are feeling generous.
We love them but they can sometimes try our patience.

Haha, those are nicer than what I lovingly call Sparkle when she's being annoying!
I wasnāt questioning your age because I didnāt know it. Just trying to figure out the mystery.
My home security camera just caught the Barn Swallows visiting my front porch. 
They tried to nest there a few years ago and they can be so aggressive!!
So I just put my big blow-up snake out. Iāve scared a few people with that before. Hopefully thatās enough to discourage them from trying to nest there. Otherwise I have a few more realistic looking snakes from the toy department. I just might have to post a sign for the mail lady!
And of course theres reflective bird tape but Iād rather not go that route if I can avoid it.

I looked online at a few Medicare sites and I think I understand why they say you donāt get Part B until July 2022. You first became eligible for Medicare when you turned 65 and you have three months after that date to sign up for Part B. There is also an annual open enrollment for Part B but unfortunately that also ended March 31.I think you likely missed both of these deadlines in which case you have to wait for the next Part B open enrollment period and then your coverage becomes effective July 1, 2022.

It's still here but modified: Keep Mamanyt1953 in your thoughts
Ah, that does seem to be an issue. It looks like someone can sign up at any time but there may be a late enrollment fee if you don't get it done in time, or that's how I'm understanding it. I don't think they'd make someone wait a whole year for health care coverage, that just seems wrong.
Part A & Part B sign up periods | Medicare
Reread this. Seven month initial enrollment, three months before you turn 65, month you turn 65 and three months afterwards. Other than that you can sign up during annual open enrollment which Runs Jan-March each year. It may seem wrong but I am pretty sure that is how it works.
Hmm, you may be right. Why do they make it so complicated? I know my (retired) co-worker had a SSA/Medicare guy come to their house to help them sort things out, maybe that's an option.
I was feeling so much better yesterday, almost normal. And I got up this morning feeling worse. Also, last night, my fever went up to almost 39 and won't come down until I took Tylenol but I didn't feel hot immediately. My hypochondria has been really bad too. I was panicking thinking this is all my fault and feeling very worried for my mom. She's been having a really hard time. I feel trapped in my body.
It is really confusing. I expect the rules and penalties relating signing up for Part B, which covers doctor visits and tests are because they donāt want people to wait and not pay those $148 a month premiums until they have medical issues and a need for coverage.

DD just came in from playing at the sandbox to tell me a falcon or hawk tried to swoop and grab a little bird from the fence right by her. It missed thankfully. Eeks nature...

im happy tonite and feeling good so far
DH and I had to deal with a manipulative family member tonight. They actually demanded a lengthy explanation from us regarding a decision DH and I made for our family. I have no tolerance for that kind of behavior. Its not unexpected from this person; but its still annoying that they try. Weāve learned to set boundaries quickly but they still try. 
At least our interactions are limited and we donāt live nearby. Sometimes thereās advantages to living far from people! At least Iām pretty good at holding my tongue and being polite but firm.

Wow, that is so not on. Did you manage to keep your cool?
Yes thankfully. Unfortunately Iāve had practice with them. And DH has gotten much better at it so it wasnāt all on me. I was wondering what made them madder; the decision that led to the conversation (attempted conversation) or the fact that we refused to engage in their behavior.

That's good. It takes some audacity to think you have any say in someone else's parenting/family decisions (minus in cases of abuse or neglect, which I'm absolutely sure isn't going on with you!)
