Medigap Plans F and C Go Away for 2020
Comments (13)sushipup1 -- DH and I pay $87 and $85 monthly ($2064/year) for our Plan F high deductible coverage from BCBS. We've had this coverage for about seven years. Most years we were out only that $2064 for our premiums and only about $400 out of pocket total between us. Medicare-approved pricing knocked our 20% down to peanuts. We were covered for big expenses beyond a $2100 deductible, but were only out $2464 on the year. Once, In 2016, I paid the entire deductible on my policy and the policy paid a few hundred beyond that. That year we were out $4364 total. Averaging over seven years, we've paid $2735 out of pocket per year -- policy and out of pocket -- for two seniors. Hard for any non-high-deductible to beat that HDF. The HDF premiums or deductible will have to increase a LOT for us to move to a straight Plan G. Am I correct that you are paying $5856 total for two Plan F policies? Have they saved you much? I know that not everyone has our (very minimal until now!) out of pocket expenses....See MoreC daylilies 2020
Comments (52)And that is a shame, Debra, as he certainly hybridized some pretty ones. I have Billy the Kid, Born in California, Napa Valley Merlot, Private Reserve, Lovin’ Tennessee, and Pointed Perfection that are thriving (so far), especially Pointed Perfection but, like you, have lost many others. Poem of Ecstasy, which I really like, is not multiplying so it probably won’t last long. The consolation to that is that he sent them all as bonuses so moneywise I did not lose anything....See MoreMy Hosta Garden in June 2020

Comments (25)Unfortunately, I am not one of those "creative" people! Paula, forgot to mention, about the box joke: besides the auto correct being cool, I am deciding whether to throw out a couple of cardboard boxes! It's scary to think how much thought is going into that decision! Maybe the problem is not just being an adult, but being an old adult! LOL...See Moreperen.all Zone 5a Ontario Canada

3 years agoPaula, I also love the cockroach joke! 😆
I am enjoying all the c’s here. I especially like Crumb Cake and Christmas white.
Sunnywood, your Carnivals look so different.....are the light conditions really different?
All of the CRVFs look great as well.
my c’s:
Chartreuse Wiggles
This hasn’t grown much in two years.... I think a dig up to clear roots from maple tree or a relocation is in order.
Not sure if this in too much sun? I wasn’t aware the edge turned yellow.
Not enough sun? Too much? Guess I will have to separate in summer.

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoLet's start out with what typically is my earliest riser: 'Chinese Sunrise'.
Another early riser is H. clausa var normalis. It's a toss-up as to which of these unfurls first. The flowers on this species are quite dark.
'Camelot', this is one member of the breeding that Eric Smith did with 'Tardiflora' and 'Elegans', another notable one being 'Halcyon'.
Here's a sporting 'Captain Kirk'. The sport didn't came back the next year...
And now for something just a tad smaller: 'Cat's Eye'.

peren.all/Laurie, I notice your newly planted hostas are pretty good size. Do you grow them out in their pot for a while before planting? ....Cupatini always grabs my attention.
Laura that first pic of Cherry Tart is so pretty.
Lots of Curly Fries I like. And I'm glad I moved my Cool as a Cucumber when I see the ones here.
nhl, you have such a good eye for finding the beauty even when the leaf flops over.
shadow, such a nice Christmas White you have.
mbug, that's too bad you lost Captain's Adventure. It's not often I see one as nice as yours was. ..... Your Color Festival is a beauty.
Candy Dish, another one that's been moved after this pic was taken. It had too much competition in this space.

3 years agoI have not really joined in on this event in the past, mostly due to lack of photos when it comes time in December. I do have two 'C' photos this year, however. One photo I took since I was so stunned by this particular plant's first year leaf (Cuyahoga) and the second photo I took because I was surprised at how well my late-season, bargain purchase of Coast to Coast worked out.
