Good hospital review by planner

Well I managed to slip on a wet floor at home and fall. I managed to "only" fracture my tailbone. Yup, only. I thought I also broke my wrist but no. So let me tell you, it bloody well hurts. It hurts to sit, hurts to stand, hurts to ...

gcvt

Aw geez, tail bones are the worst...maybe next to ribs. Best wishes for a comfortable and speedy recovery! Read More

US expat end of life arrangements? by gcvt

I don’t mean to get too dark here, but I have to ask. I tried searching the forum, as I always do, but couldn’t find anything. I've been thinking about end of life arrangements (Wills, Power of attorney, Trusts, etc.) for those who ...

gcvt

Good question that many need to look at and avoid. The law here is territorial so legal paperwork in the USA is technically not valid here. It is inexpensive to get a will and make your arrangements and wishes known. Make sure someone here ... Read More

maltagracia, I asked about DirecTV Now on the 'official' ATT/DirecTv Now forum back in July and got this response... I've also tried using a VPN when travelling outside the US, and that didn't work either on DTVN or on Netflix. ... Read More

Quality cookware/kitchenware availability on North Coast? by gcvt

Still a newbie here and I don’t post much because I can find most answers by using the search function. But, I searched all I could for “pots” “pans” “cookware” etc. I remember reading a thread about taking ...

Thanks again all. Don't worry about me haha. I've traveled almost all over the world in my 49 years (and fully realize how lucky I am to have done so) and have seen it all. I have a good sense of humor but it is a little dry. Maybe some ... Read More
