  1. Sears is where America shops!  :confused: I mean use to shop.  Wife and I went to Sears at East Town Mall, I mean Knoxville Center, :angel:  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.

    No thanks. 

     

    The last thing I need is an IRS type agency in charge of my healthcare. "Death panels", rationing, long waits, red tape and an even bigger government  WOULD be a reality.

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

    From that link, "most Tennesseans will pay under $75 a month."  Am I missing something?  I'd LOVE to know how to get on that plan.... :squint:  As it stands now I'll dump my insurance at the end of the year.  

    Guess who gets to pay the rest.? :mad:

    This was the email BCBS sent out yesterday to all of their agents. The sad part is, all of us agents knew this was coming as soon as the ACA was put into law. The ugly stuff is just now starting to really come out into the daylight.BCBSRates2017.jpg

    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

  6. 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. :mad:.

  7. Hope this doesn't start another conversation about limiting shooting on your property in the 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.

  8. When we moved to this house and I decided I wanted to have a little range out in the woods I called the Sheriff's office. I asked about it. I was told the restrictions were to not shoot in the direction of dwellings or other buildings where people may be at.  My dirt backstop sits at the bottom of a hill, so bullets are extremely unlikely to go anywhere they shouldn't.

    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.
