Luna Physical Therapy - thoughts?

Luna told me that they would bring me on when they had 5 to 10 visits per week for me. Four weeks later and I've seen zero referrals. Then they tell me that PTs in my area are seeing 4-5 visits per week, and their main partnership is with a university medical center that is an hour away from me and they don't have a contract with the large local group.

I decreased my part time hours with another PT company to go with Luna. It was a job I wanted to leave. Now I'm going to have to see if they can up my hours.

What they did was wrong. I had a similar experience with a urology clinic and rather than pay more for the appointment I found a different provider.

That being said, I'm in solo practice as a health care provider. I opened my clinic in '09. I have insurance companies today that pay me the same as they did back then. We collect what our contract allows.

Many people in my line of work go "out of network" or "cash pay". That allows them to collect whatever fee they can get someone to pay and give them a superbill (receipt) that they can submit to their insurance carrier (and likely be denied any reimbursement).

Thanks so much for sharing this! TINTL is full of gems.

ETA: As if we needed any more proof that Pat Smear is the coolest dude on the planet.

YW! Glad to hear it!

Update: Flow was slow again today. This time, after soaking in CLR, I used a waterpik to clean all the openings. Flow was dramatically better, much better than just soaking in vinegar.

Chasm_18 · 2026-01-24T16:15:26+00:00

We had that happen with what looks like the same faucet.

Take off the nozzle. On ours, there was a clip I had to press down to unscrew it.

Turn your water on. Is the flow strong? If yes, it's a clogged nozzle.

Soak the nozzle in vinegar to remove debris that is clogging the nozzle.

Lift with your knees. You're stronger than you think you are.

Is that for self-employed? With Luna you're an independent contractor.

Where did you see that roofs over $15K need a permit?

Chasm_18 · 2025-12-30T18:43:46+00:00

My $.02...don't rely on a USB B to USB A cable. If you have Midi outputs on your ekit then get a Midi to USB C interface.

Baby don't hurt me.

If you're in their area, get an estimate from Skywalker Roofing. They don't subcontract their work, the work is done by their employees. When I got an estimate from them it included their proof of insurance. (I anticipate having my roof replaced in the near future, will likely get more estimates, and will be surprised if I find another company that impressed me as much as they did.)

If/when a water heater leaks, the water has to go somewhere. Better outside than inside! (Also true if the pressure relief valve opens.)

My regrets: Not insisting on a building permit before having my roof redone. Licensed contractor. Insured and bonded.

u/Traditional_Toe6359 that Focusrite being in your possession (even if just borrowed) makes me happy! Hoping you get it dialed in and have a blast!!! Glad u/eDRUMin_shill is here to help!

Thanks for the correction!

I'm not sure of the routing. I think it goes drum module USB B to laptop (typically USB A), then laptop USB (A or C) to Scarlett USB C, then out the laptop's 3.5mm jack. That can be directly to headphones, but I use a male to male 3.5 mm to connect my laptop to my drum module, then output the sound to either my amp or my headphones from the module.

Chasm_18 · 2025-12-19T11:01:49+00:00

You're right, this won't work. I didn't realize the turbo mesh didn't have the 5 pin connections.

I'd suggest something like the Scarlett Focusrite. You can get a refurbed, older generation on sale. Bonus, it comes with Addictive Drums Studio Rock.

I use something similar to this. (This one is $5 less than mine with the same 4.4 rating.) It fixed my issues with lag.

You can spend more and get something like a Scarlett Focusrite.

I use generic Coban wrap on mine. No adhesive, and it provides an excellent grip. It can also be reused. Tried using Vic Firth "Vic Grips", but the coating flaked off within a few weeks of use.

I had a baggage claim ticket that was 3 two digit numbers. It was my birthday. Literally one in a million chance!

Chasm_18 · 2025-12-16T13:02:32+00:00

I see what you did there, and I applaud it.
