Well, this morning I have been trying to understand the new Obamacare health insurance exchanges.

I understand most of what I have read, I am still unclear on how the federal tax credit works. Do any of you know if the tax credit is simply an offset against your taxable income or is it a real subsidy that will reduce the cost of insurance. At this time my income is so low that a reduction in federal tax liability won't do anything to help me reduce the cost of an individual policy.

It is very confusing to me!

Any help on this would be very much appreciated.

I do enjoy ironing. Like Katie said, it is very relaxing. I set up my old wooden ironing board and just wander into my own little world. I can daydream as long as I am ironing. Sometimes I will have my music on like Les Miserables and sing right along. Ironing gives me a sense of accomplishment when I look at all that I have done.

I do the same thing, Addie. I relax while ironing. I know, not something most people do, but it takes me away from my real life.

I'm the opposite, Katie. I hate ironing, but love to shop.

I don't mind grocery shopping, but I HATE to shop for clothes. They don't make clothes for a 4'8" person. A simple skirt is always a maxi on me. Everything I buy has to be hemmed.

What kind of email do you use Charlie? Is it with your ISP? One of the web services, e.g., gmail, hotmail, etc.? Do you use an email client, e.g., Thunderbird, Outlook, etc.?

I hate to iron and to shop. But I love to do crosswords.

Mine sent out a whole bunch of ads to most of my contacts for male enhancement products a while ago. Ridiculous.

I had the same thing happen with a Yahoo email account. I was horrified! Luckily it wasn't an account I used much so the contacts list was tiny.

Hope things went well for you at the doctor's office. Let us know how it went if you want...hopefully it ends up in the Thankfulness thread and not in Venting!

Had to go support the local Dairy Queen w a blizzard treat. Proceeds raised went to Children's Miracle Network. Thousands of people support this nationwide. The money raised stays in your state.

Thank you so much CG

I went to see the knee specialist this morning. He has booked me in for an MRI to have next Friday 16th August, as he said that is less invasive to see what is going on that an arthroscophy...although he said I may still be needing one of them after we get the results back from the MRI

He said it could be a number of things

1. A torn cartilage (meniscus tear)
2. A cyst (as well)
3. Arthritis
4. Something else but I cant remember it LOL...he was saying so much

So, out of all that, I dont know what would be best to have, sadly it is going to be at least one of them

It was hurting so much when he was prodding on the outer and inner sides of my knee...ever so painful to touch arrrgggghhhh!

Will keep you informed

Those all sound like a bother Kylie. I've had arthritis for a while but it just comes and goes. When it flairs up, OTC meds work. The others all sound like they could be real trouble. Hope he "picks" the least of all those evils. Good luck with the MRI.
