So just a heads up. @unitedhealtcare.bsky.social UHC's vision coverage does not cover the retinal exam. WTF UHC this is part of the eye exam. I just had to pay an extra $39 because you all don't understand how eye exams work. I'll become the PR nightmare you never wanted. #visioninsurance #eyecare

To recap: More than 1,000 FBI agents were assigned to comb through the Epstein Files to flag any mentions of Trump’s name for higher-ups. The FBI then redacted Trump’s name from the files before ultimately deciding not to release the documents.

There was a time when I could read two to 4 books a week. However as I have gotten older and my eyesight has continued to get worse. I just don't read the way I used to. However I have turned to Audiobooks to feed that readers hunger. #reading #books #audiobooks
