Here is a link to the Cornell lab of Ornithology's study of Birds of Paradise. There is not much new on the board, so I thought I would post this link to videos describing the making of a documentary about Birds of Paradise. You won't believe how these birds can instantly change their appearance. T...

Rick, I used turbotax to do my own taxes and was stumped when it came time to fill out the form 8885 . When I filled out the complete 8885 form, turbotax added the over payment amount as taxable income and had me paying additional tax on that amount instead of returning the over-payment amount to me...

I called 855-768-0805 and was referred to Mark Profitt, so I called him and was given the following information.

The $76.03 payment is being made to everyone that was on Medicare before Dec 31, 2009 and will be a lifetime payment.

I am serious, I did get that email from Retiree communications. I too lost my healthcare which now costs me around $6000.00 a year. I lost my life insurance policy. I did not ask to be split off from GM to the "New Delphi Corporation" which bit us all on the ass. When we were left in the d...

I received this email from Retiree Communications: OPEN HOUSE INVITATION: The GM Lordstown Complex will host a public Open House event on July 28, 2011, from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM to thank the community for all its support of General Motors. Retirees are invited to attend and enjoy a rare opportunity ...

I just moved this post to this general discussion forum with it's own title. It was listed as a reply to the "Welcome" topic and most viewers did not see it in that thread. ....Just want to make sure that if someone has an answer you won't miss reading this post.

I created this forum as a free place to post any items that you want to sell. You can also advertise your garage or yard sale. This forum is set up to automatically delete any post after 14 days. If you do not sell the item in that time, just post it again, there is no limit to the number of items o...

I posted this topic 6 days ago and so far with 183 views of my original post, there have been no comments to this post and no one has reported any posts on any topic as offensive. I assume that although some may not be completely happy with the direction of some of the posts, no one (including me) w...

I have concerns about the direction some of the posts are going in the HEALTH CARE topic. I set up this forum and web site as a place to exchange information that would be of benefit to all Delphi retirees. It can be used as a soap box to express your opinions, but I am not comfortable with any name...

Zazz, thanks for your support and posts. I realize that a lot of people are looking for any information they can find that concerns their retirement and are hesitant to post anything on the net. That is OK, I understand that making your first post anywhere on the internet is a big step for the first...

May Christmas and the Holiday Season bring happiness and joy to you and your loved ones now and throughout the new year!

Thank you for making this board a success!

Gary, I am actually keeping the GM Plan, but going with the DSRA Gold Plan for next year. I am not taking the opt out money, thereby allowing me to select the GM Plan next year during the enrollment period if I choose. I do not see an option on the poll for my choice except keeping the Gm high dedu...

Here is an acrobat pdf file that I made from my form.

Once you edit a post, it changes the main database file that contains all of the posts, user information and layout of the board. If I restore an earlier backup, it restores the complete board. There is no way to look at one post without wiping out what is on the board at the present time. The Sept ...

Registration is free and painless, the only reason it is here is to keep spam, porn and junk posts from overseas ( Russian dating services) off of the board. They use automatic bots to post to boards that are not capable of going through the registration process. A good way to register anonymously f...

There are over 540 visits to this thread, but only 21 votes so far. That means there is a lot of interest in the results, and I am quite certain that if you were registered for the board, you would cast your vote. I assume that most do not want to register because you think you might get spam or jun...

I just found that if I modify the poll in any way or edit anything in the poll post, all of the totals will be erased and set to zero. So please disregard the statement in the poll post indicating that I can add other categories in the poll. If I add them, the current choice totals will be lost. Sor...

I made a new updated poll with 8 more choices that should have been included in the Dec 17 poll. Please go to the new updated poll - What insurance option did you choose? and recast your choice. Everyone should vote in the new poll even though you participated in the first poll. This will give us a ...
