It was a lot of fun. Went deep into the mountain a far ways. Without the quad nor these few days off work, we couldn’t have attempted it. We saw Bobcat tracks tho! They were so big it could have been a mountain lion! I imagined what the tough men of old times went through. Wandering vast areas on foot and with heavy loads of traps and fur! Exciting

In Japan, MRIs cost almost exactly ONE-TENTH as much as they do here.

I keep asking myself how that can be.

I haven’t paid a dime for healthcare in any many years. I have Medicare, a supplement G, and TriCare. Past employer pays the supplement and Uncle Sam pays the TriCare for Life.

I do have small deductibles for prescription drugs through TriCare. Never have a doctor or hospital bill that isn’t paid for 100%.

I don't think Japan allows in millions of freeloaders every year. Somebody has to pay for them.

Japan is one of the most xenophobic cultures on Earth.

But now maybe I can put that monthly savings into something more fun?!
Maybe a coyote fur cloak?!

Or use it to build your 6 months expenses emergency fund. That way you have cash to pay off your next surprise immediately. Just sayin.

Not fun...but smart

The week I paid my $3,000 part of my hernia surgery I was comforted by hearing the Hospital and just helped the millionth person in Africa who did not pay a dime. LOL I can’t express the joy I felt knowing that bit of information. frown


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!
