Sears is where America shops! I mean use to shop. Wife and I went to Sears at East Town Mall, I mean Knoxville Center, and spend more than we had at a Sears in 10 years. Everything was on sale, or at least they said so. Picked up a package I had ordered online. If it hadn't been for this, we never would have gone. Purchases were clothing. Wasn't crowded or very busy. When I was growing up Sears was the store. Mother would call in our Christmas order from the catalog and we would go downtown and pick it up when it came in. We just had a catalog store in our town. Sad to see it go, but if things didn't pickup from the day I was there, don't see Sears around much longer.

just went to the marketplace web site. New plans up. offering two when I typed in my info. Bronze plan $4800 deductible out of pocket max $6550.00 Premium $754 or 46% more than I am paying now. Second plan Silver $3500 deductible $7150 out of pocket max Premium $964 or 86% more than I am paying now The Farm Bureau has a plan not on the market plan for $667 a month deductible $5500 and $6550 out of pocket 29% more than paying now. I call a local insurance agent. They told me thats it for Knoxville area unless you can be in a group. Being self employed has it's draw backs.

i believe Humana is the only insurer in the Knoxville area. Can't wait to see what the premiums will be.

Don't look now, but I think it may be too late.

By Holly Fletcher, USA TODAY NETWORK — Tennessee BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee will not sell insurance plans on the Obamacare exchange in the state's three largest metro areas next year, as the health care giant grapples with hefty losses and ongoing uncertainty on the marketplace.

Guess who gets to pay the rest.?

Very sad indeed. Said he had three small kids.

I take it from their letter, keeping their options open. Could put out of marketplace? Also Senate has a bill that would keep you from have to pay the additional tax if the 2nd lowest silver plan for your state in raised more then 10%. for not having health insurance. Obama would veto it if passed. S.3251 - Relief from Obamacare Mandate Act of 2016

Welcome with open arms.

From your last post, sounds like this could be identity theft. Someone got and used your mother-in-laws SSN. We have seen a lot of this last couple of years and it is increasing.

Don't know where your mother-in-law is in FL. need to find an Enrolled Agent in her area. My be able to get this put in noncollectable status if her only income is social Security. http://taxexperts.naea.org/

It's a scam. You can read all about it here. https://www.irs.gov/uac/tax-scams-consumer-alerts

Like others, I got my letter from BCBS week or so ago. My insurance, just for little old (62) me is now over $500 per month. This is up from a little over $300 a year ago. Only health issue is cholesterol. Take 5mg of creator. and go to the DR twice a year. So i am paying over $6000 a year now, and by the way high deductible policy. If it goes up 36% i will be paying around $700 a month. .

For the most part, LGBT want the same as all people want. To be left the hell alone and to be safe. Being able to protect ones self is part of this.

I was wondering how he missed the backstop. Shot over it, around it.? I'm guessing it wasn't an adequate backstop to start with.

Hope this doesn't start another conversation about limiting shooting on your property in the county.   http://wate.com/2016/05/08/accidental-shooting-leaves-one-injured-in-west-knox-county/   Shooter misses target, hits man A man was injured Sunday after another man missed his practice target and shot him in the arm, according to the Knox County Sheriff’s Office. According to a news release, authorities were alerted to the shooting just before 3 p.m. at Hickory Creek Road at Fallen Oaks Lane in West Knox County. Deputies said 32-year-old Robert Mathis was shooting at a target to check the accuracy of the sights of his weapon when the bullet went beyond a backstop, down an embankment and through a wooded area striking a vehicle. Benjamin Fawver, 33, was seated in the vehicle and was struck in the left arm, according to the Sheriff’s Office. Fawver was taken the University of Tennessee Medical Center with a wound that was not believed to be life threatening. The news release did not specify the type of gun Mathis was firing. No charges have been filed, and the investigation is continuing.

welcome. didn't catch what part of NY you were from. I lived near Oswego for three very long winters. Most of the guys I knew up there would pass for good old boys with accents.  :cheers: 

RIP to both.

Welcome :wave:

Welcome to the forum.

This only happens in the US. :confused: (CNN)Police arrested a suspect in a shooting that left four people dead in a small town in northern Saskatchewan, Canadian authorities said.   http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/23/americas/canada-saskatchewan-la-loche-school-shooting/index.html

Hillary Clinton ‘too busy campaigning’ to see Benghazi film ‘13 Hours’

Except for Clint Eastwood and Kurt Russell.

Welcome to TGO

I hear shooting around me all the time. I plan on building a back stop on my property, and until I do so I will not shoot.  It would be interesting to hear her neighbor's side of the story.
