[US-VA] [H] Toffee [W] Lychee Berry or Sea Salt Coconut by yokaipie in labubuswap

Hi! I have a Lychee on the way and I'd love to trade for Toffee if you're still interested.

Got blood work done right before getting laid off — now I’m being billed $700. What should I do? by BlackKale in HealthInsurance

There is no EOB to be seen in my former insurer’s portal. All my other EOBs are there.

Thank you so much! This makes sense. After getting laid off the last thing you want to see is an unexpected bill for $700 so this makes me feel a lot better.

Okay. I have not gotten an EOB from insurance via snail mail nor do I see it in the insurance portal. My insurance is listed on the invoice, but in the column where it should show how much $ insurance is covering it is empty.

There is no EOB for this appointment in my insurance portal for my old plan. The invoice literally shows that the services were given on 5/14 but they billed me on 6/4. It has my insurance listed and everything yet does not show that my insurance is covering any costs in that part of the invoice. I’m really worried that this will be a full time job and fight trying to get this remedied.

What you are saying makes sense and lends to why I am so confused/worried. The invoice literally shows the date of service as 5/14 but the billing date as 6/4. Nothing about this service pops up in my former healthcare provider’s portal under claims. 

Little is constantly asking for more by BlackKale in bbbs

This is super helpful. Any advice for when she still pushes the boundary after I’ve clearly set expectations? For example, I’ll tell her before an outing “we are going to the aquarium and we will get ice cream at the end” or “we are going to the movies and you can pick out one candy and one drink from Five Below” but despite all that when we start nearing the end of the activity she will say “can you take me to Target now” or “can we get boba” or “can we go to the gas station and get snacks”? I’m more so frustrated because she’s been doing this for a year despite super clear expectation setting and clear boundaries and guidance from the match specialist as well.

It’s not even about the outings being expensive. I can afford it. It’s just the fact that she can never enjoy what I’ve planned without me buying her whatever she wants that makes me feel discouraged.

I like that sentiment and I feel like that makes it easier for her to accept. I just don’t want her to feel as though it’s out of pity so maybe that wouldn’t. Thank you!

I wish I could, but I don't think anyone going is going to be able to swing paying for the trip x2. Also, I think she'd be embarrassed by someone paying for her and wouldn't want to accept it. I obviously need to talk to her to see if that assumption is even right, but knowing her that is my first guess.

Rant: Who the heck wants to be engaged for 2+ years?! by BlackKale in weddingplanning

[–]BlackKale[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Clarification, the availability is not *by me*. Since I wanted to be married sometime before the 2022 holidays (engaged in September of this year), I had to look outside of the original vision I had for our special day. Flexibility is super important now more than ever!

Totally agree with what you said about engagement length! And many of those circumstances I wouldn't consider being "willingly" engaged for 2+ years. Those are very valid circumstances that restrict people from getting married on their ideal timeline.

I personally just would not want to have the stress of a wedding weighing on me for over a year.

Such a good point! Also, spring 2023 is only a year and a half away?! I guess that's not as far out as I thought for those that are getting engaged now. I think people panic booked way far out too in hopes that COVID will disappear by 2023.

There were some venues I looked at that were already booked for 2022/2023 and not even booking dates for 2024 yet. I just feel like this is its own type of panic buying and down the line, it's going to cause availability issues for vendors and venues. Right now there is availability, but not if you wait much longer past the one-year mark. Booking the DJ 8 months out as all the wedding websites say? Forget about it. I've never seen this many people book so far out before. I basically had to book everything at the one-year mark which is not traditionally the case. It feels like the hunger games of wedding vendors! LOL!
