@LouiseNorris Thanks. Ugh... the American health care system. Well, I'll be on Medicare by then, so hopefully OOP costs will be less than what I'd face now on my high-deductible Bronze plan.

@LouiseNorris Sadly, LifeWise decided to eliminate their HSA-eligible plan, which was the only attractive one of its type in WA.

Is anyone still out there? I'm barely here anymore. If you want my restaurant updates, join me on Instagram at https://t.co/3MGer15JRW or Facebook at https://t.co/u5x5Cm8XqO. Would love to see/hear from you at one or both of those places.

In collaboration with my editor @EaterSeattle, here's the updated Chinese and Taiwanese restaurant map for the Seattle area: https://t.co/oaLvl6L9Dl

@sashajoan1 @EaterSeattle Have you seen my map? I especially recommend Spicy Style of Sichuan if you haven't been: https://t.co/dmpbxuQdwF

@sashajoan1 @EaterSeattle What kind of food are you seeking?

[Jay Friedman @jayfriedman]

@DaniaPal @Sblahov @AlekaGurel @LouiseNorris @lpackard I don't object to your use of "slightly" at all. But there must be some amount of exceeding the limit for CSR eligibility the government frowns upon. My 2-person household won't qualify for CSRs in 2023, but this year interest income might unexpectedly bump us ~ $1000 too high.

[Jay Friedman @jayfriedman]

@DaniaPal @Sblahov @AlekaGurel @LouiseNorris @lpackard Any guidance on how much over the limit is considered "slightly"? Rising interest rates mean higher than expected investment income, and not yet sure about year-end distributions from mutual funds that could drive investment income even higher.

It's been a few years since updating this Asian dumpling map for @EaterSeattle, so check out several new additions: https://t.co/txv2u19Quz

As a companion piece to my map of more conventional burgers, I enjoyed "researching" (i.e., eating) a bunch of burgers with international influences for this piece just posted @EaterSeattle: https://t.co/NmH233FvNk
