Hawaiian

That is not the one I was referring to, but it depicts a very similar message. I did not bookmark the cartoon I was referring to and have not been able to locate it. I do recall it was a firefighter in action with the word "misinformation" coming from his water hose.

Yes, very interesting. This is why no one should assume that what applies in one state is the same in another. When my mother passed away I was tasked with the job of selling the properties held in her trust.. As the successor trustee, I worked closely with my realtor with whom I had a 40 year business relationship. One of my sisters who lived in another state said I was doing it all wrong. She wasted her money on an expensive attorney who set her straight. End of story.

Sorry, PCP stands for primary care physician; they use to be referred to as the family doctor. I have a urologist but I knew he was out of town. I mentioned in a previous post that doxy worked wonderfully for me. That was 6 months ago.

I phoned my PCP about my symptoms which included nausea. He faxed the pharmacy and told me to pick it up. Directions were 100mg caps twice a day for five days. Being his patient for over 25 years we have an excellent relationship. His diagnostic skills are tops. This is my first time for doxy. I make sure I load up on probiotics after any antibiotic. Various kimchi and Greek yogurt are a staple in our house.

That's your interpretation. Not mine.

Nope. Just a general comment about misinformation.

I believe every state has an agency that regulates all insurance carriers operating within their state.

While no expert, my experience is that all homeowner policies cover fire. Hurricane and flood coverage are additional. I received a renewal notice from my homeowners insurance. The new policy excludes the hurricane coverage in that is in the existing policy. Then I received an offer from another carrier that was offering hurricane coverage. The second company only sells hurricane coverage. I eventually bought a policy that covers both homeowners and hurricane that was over $1,700 less. Any homeowner not having any kind of basic coverage is crazy.

Exactly. The fallout from this disaster will find its way into every segment of the economy.

Today's, January 14, edition of the NY Times has a cartoon depicting how misinformation spreads like wildfire. How true.

I believe you are referring to PMI, private mortgage insurance that lenders require on loans not guaranteed by the federal government, such as VA loans. I specifically mentioned homeowners insurance. Not to start an argument, but you were not clear what you meant. The people you are referring to may not be directly impacted, but there will be some form of ramification for some of them. To be truthful, I understand your point that it is the taxpayer that usually stands the jerk while many get a free ride.

Not really. Just because you pay no income taxes doesn't mean you don't have a mortgage on a home being covered by insurance. Almost surely premiums will rise. You don't have a choice since homeowners insurance is required by the lender.

Who or what is a tax recipient?

Wish I could help, but I live in Hawaii. In the past Sheryl has been pretty good at furnishing that kind of information. Hopefully, she sees this. I had a PSA reading much higher than that, but my UTI symptoms have gone away for now after taking the doxycycline hyclate. Next visit with my urologist is a couple of months from now.

For those interested in what firefighters are up against, here is an explanation by a NY Times climate reporter. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/14/briefing/la-wildfires-firefighting.html

My apologies. I was prescribed DOXYCYCLINE HYCLATE and not BACTRIM. They are not the same. Listen to Sheryl. She knows what she is talking about.

One way or another, we all pay in the end, and the bill is going to be staggering.

After reading Sheryl's post I looked up E. coli, ESBL. All recommendations said treatment is carbapenem. Bactrim is inexpensive and regimen is around 5 days. Up to you. Good luck.

Have you tried Bactrim. Worked for me when I had similar symptoms.

NYC received $107 million from the feds. Not sure about California. In my research, I found some figures are not available for various reasons.

Not widely known is deportations are already underway. Many Republican and some Democrat members of Congress have already indicated they are behind Trump's push to deport illegal aliens with criminal records. If I am not mistaken, some countries have said they will accept deportees. Have to wait and see how this comes down. I agree mass immigration will not happen although once the process begins it will accelerate. At what speed is anyone's guess.

I call him a bully for his memo instructing the DOJ to target and investigate concerned parents for harassment and intimidation. Three years later the parent-silencing order has not been rescinded.

Amen.

Lahaina was a tragedy that did not have to happen. Sheer incompetence by local authorities. https://www.bbcnews.com/news/world-us-canada-67382947

I apologize.
