Happy mother's day! No, the site isn't closed. It's just that our regulars don't post all that much on the weekends. But don't be shy. If you know of any cigar deals on the various internet sites that are worth talking about, go ahead and post it. Even if it isn't about cigars, go ahead, you've got nothing to lose. In fact, you practically will have the entire site all to yourself. But be warned that if you are somehow able to get our attention, we're a spirited lot.

Today is Sunday, May 14, the 134th day of 2017. There are 231 days left in the year. This is Mother's Day.
Today's Highlight in History:
On May 14, 1787, delegates began gathering at the State House in Philadelphia to draw up the United States Constitution. However, only delegates from Virginia and Pennsylvania had arrived by this time, and the convention did not achieve a quorum of seven states until May 25.
On this date:
In 1643, Louis XIV became King of France at age four upon the death of his father, Louis XIII.
In 1796, English physician Edward Jenner inoculated 8-year-old James Phipps against smallpox by using cowpox matter.
In 1804, the Lewis and Clark expedition to explore the Louisiana Territory as well as the Pacific Northwest left camp near present-day Hartford, Illinois.
In 1900, the Olympic games opened in Paris as part of the 1900 World's Fair.
In 1925, the Virginia Woolf novel "Mrs Dalloway" was first published in England and the United States.
In 1942, Aaron Copland's "Lincoln Portrait" was first performed by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.
In 1948, according to the current-era calendar, the independent state of Israel was proclaimed in Tel Aviv.
In 1955, representatives from eight Communist bloc countries, including the Soviet Union, signed the Warsaw Pact in Poland. (The Pact was dissolved in 1991.)
In 1961, Freedom Riders were attacked by violent mobs in Anniston and Birmingham, Alabama.
In 1973, the United States launched Skylab 1, its first manned space station. (Skylab 1 remained in orbit for six years before burning up during re-entry in 1979.) The National Right to Life Committee was incorporated.
In 1987, actress Rita Hayworth died in New York at age 68.
In 1998, singer-actor Frank Sinatra died at a Los Angeles hospital at age 82. The hit sitcom "Seinfeld" aired its final episode after nine years on NBC.

Ten years ago: DaimlerChrysler said it was selling almost all of Chrysler to private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management for $7.4 billion, backing out of a troubled 1998 takeover. The trial of suspected al-Qaida operative Jose Padilla (hoh-ZAY' puh-DEE'-uh) opened in Miami. (Padilla and two co-defendants were convicted of terrorism conspiracy and material support after a three-month trial; Padilla was originally sentenced to 17 years in prison, but that sentence was lengthened in 2014 to 21 years.)
Five years ago: President Barack Obama sought to tarnish Republican Mitt Romney as a corporate titan who got rich by cutting rather than creating jobs; Romney's campaign responded that the former Massachusetts governor alone helped spur more public and private jobs than Obama had.
One year ago: A charter bus headed to a casino in rainy conditions crashed north of Laredo, Texas, killing eight people and injuring 44 others. Hundreds of climate activists marched to the site of two refineries in northwest Washington state to call for a break from fossil fuels, while a smaller group continued to block railroad tracks leading to the facilities for a second day.

Thought for Today: "A mother becomes a true grandmother the day she stops noticing the terrible things her children do because she is so enchanted with the wonderful things her grandchildren do." - Lois Wyse, American advertising executive, author and columnist (1926-2007).

Howdy Dean. Been down in the 50's and 60's. Beautiful Mother's Day. Pink baseball bats? When do you start your medical treatments? Sounds pretty involved. Lots of drugs or just expensive ones?

I start the 30th. one VERY expensive one. stand alone injection every two weeks for six weeks then monthly. two injection med. $4,000 an injection, $8,000 each visit. I drive to Ocala 45 minutes away to have my doctor do the injection and it costs me $20 co-pay. trying to find out how the gap in the insurance works. I have my insurance agent looking into it.

The dreaded insurance "donut hole"? Sounds like some serious stuff. What is it? Two different meds each visit?

The cost for Cimzia subcutaneous kit 200 mg is around $3,850 for a supply of 1 kits, depending on the pharmacy you visit. Prices are for cash paying customers only and are not valid with insurance plans.

Astros are kicking the Yankees Ass! 6-0 in the 1st inning
Houston's got a great team there. Saw them play live on Thursday and was impressed. It's not too unusual to split a double header. 8-0 but don't count the Yanks out just yet.
-
Never got a chance to make that martini on Friday. So I may make one for myself tonight once the kids go to bed.

Yeah, we just very recently got a new channel on Direct TV that shows the Astros here so I have been watching some games the last week and they are a lot better than I realized.

10-7 was the final. It's still a loss for the Yankees but at least it became a game.
