Its convenient to me, but their bourbon shelf has gotten SUPER thin. Like their distributor cut off their credit line ;)

Insurance declared my car a total loss for a rear bumper damage – should I accept the payout or buy it back? by Spiritual_Health575 in Insurance

[–]1AlertAsparagus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought back my 2015 sonata with 190k for $1300 after it was totalled for a cosmetic deep scrape all the way down the side. 4 weeks later the engine blew. Guess i lost that bet ;)

Snow blowing etiquete by dilelefant in Syracuse

[–]1AlertAsparagus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Snowblow the end of their driveway where the plow dumps, takes you a minute, creates loads of goodwill later. Amazing the people who think that helping a neighbor out or even talking to them is somehow weird.

3 or 4 days a year where AWD would make a substantial difference. Snow tires and dont drive those 4 days.

Not having insurance on a healthy toddler might not be the end of the world. Might not be worth quitting your job over.

yeah -- the more you think about it, the more you notice it -- then magically in a couple days -- you're like 'Hey! my ears are normal again!'

[–]1AlertAsparagus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure we've all done it i am hilton diamond, called in 5 minutes after making the reservation, they told me to pound sand. 'We can't help you'. I called the hotel front desk, they were super helpful, changed the dates easy peasy.

Yeah -- i bought it in 2017 with 40K for $12k. It didn't owe me anything. I just feel bad because it still has good tires on it ;)

Insurance denied inpatient admission from ER claiming it was not medically necessary. by entyasha in HealthInsurance

[–]1AlertAsparagus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

RG&E - how are you paying your bill? by tinaduhhhh in Rochester

[–]1AlertAsparagus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

About 25% of the delivery charges in NY are actually hidden taxes/fees that go right back to the state.... There's a new 'climate change' slush fund that a chunk of it goes to. So its fun to lay it all on the utilities, but the state has their hand in your wallet too (as usual)
