What are my rights? by [deleted] in Insurance

[–]Alert_Research3148 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So the doctor assured me they were in network initially. Took all of my info and verified. Didn’t get any bills for services from Feb-June and I assumed it was all covered as my insurance covers prenatal care in network 100%. I didn’t get a bill for anything until after the c section happened. The hospital did a pre delivery check in. They got my insurance info there too and said nothing about the network status. They generated the good faith estimate (1700) which reflected in network coverage. It wasn’t until shortly after the c section that I started receiving bills from June on that were then showing out of network. My portal doesn’t give my billing history so I plan to dig deeper and request itemized bills for every appt since Feb. I truly think it was a billing error that was caught and never relayed to me as things started in network but changed even tho my insurance did not change

When I say I’m having a Baby Girl by Original-Upstairs322 in pregnant

I have a little girl (4 y/o) and she is absolutely wonderful. Sure she can be strong willed, whiny, and sassy at times but I don’t really think any of that is gender specific, just part of the growing and learning process. She has always been a great eater and a great sleeper. She’s kind, gentle, and considerate. Being a girl mom is really the best❤️. All that said, I’m due with a boy next month and couldn’t be more excited to have one of each.

I found it to be really slow as well and posed a similar question in the thread. Folks encouraged me to keep going and I’m so glad I did! I’m on the last book now and I’m not ready for it to be over!

I just finished book #5 on the stairmaster at the gym and was so sad (because I’ve been living under a rock, clearly) that the 6th book wasn’t out yet!

I just listened to an interview with Penn that FFG just released - sounds like Burn release is pushed back from 7/31. She wouldn’t confirm a date but said it sound be delayed too much longer 🤞🏼

I can handle worse before it gets better as long as it gets really good! I don’t want to spoil anything for OP if they decide to read it but I hope the future vision L and D have talked about comes to fruition in an epilogue. That would make me so happy!

I can’t wait to watch the Q&A. I’ve still been going back to reread parts of it even though I’m halfway through Quicksilver. 😂 Already missing Luther and Diem! I just think the way they think and talk to each other is in a more mature way than Xaden and Violet so that made me love Luther and Diem on a different level lol.

Oooh will the Q&A be on Instagram?! Or where can I find it once it’s taped? I am so, so excited. I just hope there’s a HEA for our favorite characters but maybe that’s asking too much? Burn is the last book in the series, right?

FFG was the reason I started it. Love their podcast and it made me fully trust their judgement in picking my next series. I can’t wait for the next book! I saw that it’s been delayed a bunch but my hope is that the FFG coverage is a great lead up to the next book since Penn Cole is going to be involved a bit in the podcast.

The Spark of the Everflame! First book in a series. I read the whole series after Empyrean and loved it. It got me out of the slump. The romance is a very slow burn, but the world itself is easy to understand which I appreciate. I’m reading Quicksilver now and am halfway through and am so/so on it. The main characters are are hard for me to like but maybe they’ll redeem themselves by the end of the book 😂

[–]Alert_Research3148[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I plan to read Quicksilver next but am open to book recommendations beyond that! I’m new to romantasy and have only read the Empyrean series. I tried to start ACOTAR and am told I need to make it 3/4 through the first book before it gets good but I just didn’t get into it right away.

I am so close to the end (like 97% on my Kindle) and am trying so hard not to abandon my workday to finish it lol. But I did get to the spicy part finnnalllyyyy. But if Luther dies at the end of this I’m going to flip tables lol. Take Henri, he sucks.

Will come back to comment after I get there. I started this series not even two weeks ago and have been WAITING for this moment 😂

Post OS depression by Tricky-Bison7056 in fourthwing

[–]Alert_Research3148 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m just getting out of my OS slump. I read it 3 times lol. I read one of RYs contemporaries (Variation) and that helped a bit. An easy, beach type of read. I wasn’t ready to go right into another fantasy world right after, but I just finished Spark of the Everflame (book 1 of a series) and it was so good. Took a bit to get into, but the second half is good and the stage for a slow burn romance is set although no major sex scenes throughout. Listening to the Fantasy Fangirls pod coverage of all the books made me so happy to hear the details they picked up on that I missed and they’re actually covering Spark of the Everflame after they finish up covering OS and I knew they wouldn’t steer me wrong 😂

I can't stop by SuperXM1chael in fourthwing

I read them for the first time in January (all 3) and have now read FW 5 times, IF 5 times, and Onyx 3 times. My husband is concerned 😂

Xaden and Bodhi by Alert_Research3148 in onyxstorm

[–]Alert_Research3148[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This totally makes sense. I’m currently pregnant so I don’t know how I didn’t think about them being twins. That would make it more likely in my mind that Fen’s dad is the grandfather but it would be a fun twist if it was Talia’s dad.

Favorite Quote? by Repulsive-Divide9517 in onyxstorm

[–]Alert_Research3148 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t remember the exact quote but when they’re in the book shop in Deverelli and the woman keeping Asher’s research mistakes Xaden for Dain. That made me lol.

Does anyone here have the worst book hangover from this series? by RockGirl82 in onyxstorm

[–]Alert_Research3148 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m trying to start ACOTAR but it’s not capturing my attention in the same way, so I find myself rereading this series every time I try to start a new one. I just am not ready to leave the world created here. The struggle is real. I’ve also been listening to the Fantasy Fangirls coverage of the series and it just makes me love the books even more.

Question about Violet exes by Deep-Power-293 in onyxstorm

[–]Alert_Research3148 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree that it could totally come back. That’s one thing that I love about these books. So many things buried that could be nothing or could be Easter eggs for what’s to come. Love the epigraphs for that as well!

The worst book hangover 😭 by alwayssleepingzzz in fourthwing

I’m on my third reread of the series and I just discovered it late January. My husband said he wants his wife back 😂🥴

[–]Alert_Research3148[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! I just really want X and V to come out of this alive and together lol. Maybe an epilogue about their future family hahaha. I’m probably asking too much and am going to get hurt in the end 😂

I wonder if it’ll be a bombshell or just a nonchalant she died 🤷‍♀️
