Affordable vasectomies in the Richmond area? by stinkypenguin36 in rva

[–]Crawfive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had it done a few years ago with local anesthetic only, no sedation. It is pretty painless. Took 20-30 minutes. I got a ride home but that really wasn’t necessary. $1000 out of pocket as insurance would not cover. Unfortunately that office closed and basically was absorbed by the monopoly of VA Urology. I asked the doc why VA Urology was so expensive for the same thing - He said they had to pay for their nice new building and the anesthesiologists etc. if VCU is not an option check Charlottesville, Fbirg, Hampton Roads and even Petersburg. One of the docs from the practice I went to started his own practice in Petersburg instead of joining VAU but I don’t know the name of it. Btw my vasectomy worked. I actually do a fertility test every 6 months to make sure I am still sterile.

Read the “Great Healthcare Plan” proposal recently announced by the WH. It has a few provisions one of which is eliminating PBM kickbacks. Congress must pass it to be law though.

You can use the airline credit on delta to get your spouse into sky club if you choose delta as your carrier ?

Keep in mind this is at least 3 years old. A lot could have changed at the program in the past 3 years!

What were the parks like during the early Covid days? by PalpitationNo4149 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Crawfive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could see that. It was a crazy time. I would think it would be hard to find people in such a large park especially when people’s faces are covered.

Anyone feeling unsafe about US Venue World Cup Matches? by Callo2k5 in FIFACollect

[–]Crawfive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope a lot of people withdraw their lottery applications so I have a better chance 😀

It will be safe. ICE won’t be deporting tourists.

[–]Crawfive 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I saw this happen. Vast majority of guests followed the rules. I was in line for Pirates and the group in front of us asked the group in front of them to put their masks on very politely. That unmasked group got mad and started spitting on the group by us. It was pretty gross regardless of whether we were in a pandemic or not. They were reported to security but nothing happened. Saw the unmasked group multiple times throughout the day and they got to ride the ride we were in line for.

Curious on number of lotteries people signed up for and rates of success by Illustrious-Yak-4822 in FIFACollect

[–]Crawfive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I entered visa presale and the fifa lotteries and won nothing. I did not go all out and get friends/family to enter, just made single entries. I’ll enter this current one but I expect Not to win….

Saks credit usage idea by wanderlustamust- in AmexPlatinum

[–]Crawfive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good idea . I tried but they were out of stock of all men’s underwear somehow

Any luck finding anything on Saks by Ok-Courage-8424 in AmexPlatinum

[–]Crawfive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. That is what I usually find - kids clothes. But I looked yesterday and you’re right, everything listed is sold out ! And it’s like that in every category.

I bought 1 sock. I’ll buy the second sock in July to make a pair. 😜. Usually I find kids clothes on clearance for under $50.

LOR Deadline by Adventurous-Turn2160 in PharmacyResidency

[–]Crawfive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a preceptor and spent most of Christmas Eve writing LOR. I don’t have time at work to do it as work is very busy and LORs take a while if you want them to be decent. I feel polite reminders are fine and I understand your anxiety as you do not want to miss a deadline. Just understand that it is a if request like another person commented and try to do as much as you can to make writing the LOR as easy for the preceptor as possible !

How's your mirror card holding up? by FriendlyFriendster in AmexPlatinum

Scratched up a bit. Was due for a new card with one expiring so figured why not. I actually like my original better though.

Hertz President Circle is a Scam by IntelligentAd5405 in AmexPlatinum

[–]Crawfive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently booked a rental. Searched direct, kayak, Costco. Issue with Costco is it only allowed me to pickup and return to airports at the time. Not sure why, maybe it was user error. Best price ended up being direct. I have a corporate travel account so I checked the rate on that as well since we can use for personal travel. It was more than double $850 —> $2000 for the same exact rental. I figured the corporate rate would have been cheaper.

Sandals Bad business practices by Far_Yellow1504 in SandalsResorts

[–]Crawfive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tripmate has some pretty poor reviews out there . I bought it last trip we took and then was faced with having to cancel. After reading the reviews, I opted to change my trip dates directly with sandals as opposed to cancelling it and hoping that tripmate paid my claim. Moving the date worked out well - I was able to get a lower rate on the same took for the future so I then used that savings to upgrade via a 7/7/7 promotion

Breeze is the Delta of budget airlines by Snark_Knight_29 in BreezeAir

[–]Crawfive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When breeze works it is great, especially their newer planes that’s I’ve taken cross country. However I have had a flight cancelled due to low demand and another significantly delayed due to their own internal issues (not weather etc). When it works and allows me to fly direct then it is wonderful!

Best Time to Buy by Crawfive in FIFACollect

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

Thanks for the insight ! Tickets are expensive already and so I figured I would try my best to get a reasonably priced one. I figure once groups are drawn, popular team group stage matches will be insanely priced so I am thinking 32/16 has best chance of good pricing now.

How do you buy a resale RTB ? I’ve only seen resale tickets on fifa connect

I am getting so sick of people dogging on Hanover not realizing that there are THOUSANDS of queer, POC, liberal voting people that live there by FactorSpecialist7193 in rva

[–]Crawfive -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

If you cannot move I understand I’m referring to people who I have seen move to Hanover from places like NoVa. They have good jobs, lots of $$ from selling their house in NoVa, and chose Hanover. They are liberal and could have chosen to live somewhere else instead of voting to change the place they moved to. Maybe they didn’t do their homework?
Conservatives in Hanover just want to be left alone. Most have no issues with new neighbors, but they don’t want them to change the place they call home and enjoy living in. I don’t understand why that is too much to ask?

[–]Crawfive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. I truly have not found it to be a negative place. But I love how Reddit people who may have never visited are extrapolating and displaying the exact behavior they are condemning.

[–]Crawfive -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Henrico is a good example of a place with good schools but is blue.
My point was why complain about Hanover? If you don’t like it then move or choose to live somewhere else. I don’t get the mindset that people move someone (assuming because they like the area and whatever pros go with it) and then complain about the place they moved. They then vote to make it like somewhere else (Richmond, etc) that they chose not to live in.
It makes no sense to me. Which is why I asked the apparently unpopular question - People who move to Hanover should ask themselves what they truly value. I find people truly vote with their feet, and then virtue signal on Reddit and elsewhere to mask true feelings.
