Welcome to Medicare! Make sure you sign up for Part A (no cost) - at the very least. Part B has a premium, but it covers things like doctors office visits, lab tests, etc. Remember Medicare only pays 80% of charges. So a Medicare Advantage plan may be worthwhile.
After age 40 I only "celebrated" birthdays ending in 0 or 5!
I always round my age to the nearest 0 or 5, so I've been 60 for about 4 years now. I'll be "65" in two years and until about 2028. This is, of course, if I'm still at large...
Hahahaha love this.. rounding ages to the nearest 0 or 5. Three weeks ago I could have chosen 50 or 55, unfortunately after a recent birthday (which I intentionally kept quiet about and dropped off the radar) I'm now nearer the 55 mark 😕
But look at the positive side: you can be 55 now until you turn actual 58, when you become 60 for the next 5 years.
True.. I actually lost count how many years my mum stayed at aged 48, even into her late 50's.
The U.S Navy fired the Commander of that sub that ran aground a couple of weeks ago......
......I mean who could of seen THAT coming heh? 
How does that relate to the thread?.....well I guess their careers are DEAD now. 
no respect I tell ya. 
I hear the Navy is looking for Jason Mamoa......you know, Aquaman. https://www.yahoo.com/news/us-navy-fired-leaders-attack-194802164.html

The only submarine I know of, which had a front window (fictional of course) was the "Seaview" - from "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea."

Dangerous vessels subs. Remember that Russian sub that sunk a while back, all hands lost.
I recall the Argentinian sub 'San Juan ' lost in 2017 .....44 crew. 😔
I didn't realize the number was that high..... How many US submarines have been lost at sea?
Mr. Taylor says that of the 52 lost American submarines, 47 are considered discoverable; the other five were run aground or destroyed in known locations.Apr 24, 2021

I worked for the company, Global Marine, which built and operated the Hughes Glomar Explorer.
The CIA cover story was that it was a deep sea mining vessel, collect cobalt/manganese nodules from the sea floor.
The real purpose of the ship was to recover the sunken diesel-electric Golf II class ballastic missile submarine, K-129. The sub, in 1968, had a fatal accident charging its batteries (probably, possibly one of its own missile detonated). The noises of the initial explosion, and subsequent implosion, were recorded by listening stations around the Pacific. The US Navy conducted a clandestine operation to find the the sunken hulk of K-129.
I think the operation that Jamie is referencing was financed by Howard Hughes.
What ever happened to the yellow submarine, did that also sink ! 🙀

Crazy Howard Hughes lent his name for the cover story. Project Azorian was a CIA operation, paid for under a "Black Budget."
