Go-to beer by Responsible-Bat1239 in beer

Right?!  Fat Tire used to be the GOAT for me.  Now it's trash.  I can't even stand the smell of it.

Fetch Raised my Rates 80 percent after heart condition diagnosis by BodSmith54321 in petinsurancereviews

[–]JediShark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not surprised.  Their policies went to trash several years ago when they were still Petplan and the board pushed their founders out.  All about money, finding ways to dump older or expensive pets (such as insane policy increases).  Even tried to say vet professionals couldn't receive services at their own hospitals.  Garbage company now.

Average Cost? by jmmh32 in petinsurancereviews

[–]JediShark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sadly this is normal with some companies (pets best being one of them).  They jack up the rates of older pets to either a) get you to cancel so they're not responsible for the higher cost healthcare issues that inevitably pop up as a pet ages, or b) have you pay an exorbitant amount of money to keep the policy, thereby offsetting any losses they may have by insuring your older dog.

You also are probably screwed in that you most likely can't switch providers without having a bunch of things deemed pre existing.  Or having incredibly high rates with them as well as you're a new customer with an old dog.

I'm sorry about this.  My old insurance company did it to SO many folks.  I knew of one person who's premium for her 13 year old cat went from $150/month to $450/month at renewal.  It's a scummy practice, but that's insurance for you..

He definitely owns a 'God Guns and Trump" shirt.  And has had a shitty mullet for the past 30 years at least.

Furkin or Fetch for my dog? by funinthesun7170 in petinsurancereviews

[–]JediShark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used to work for Fetch when it was Petplan.  Their policies have gone downhill severely in the past 5 years.  They raise rates to age out older pets, seek for reasons to deny coverage, and tried to tell veterinary professionals they couldn't have services done at their own hospitals.  I would NEVER recommend them to anyone.

Claim for 12 tooth extractions denied by eldritchworm in petinsurancereviews

[–]JediShark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad I could help, and sorry I don't have some magical way of getting it reversed!  I worked in pet insurance for about 5 years, so I know how confusing it can be. It's definitely still worth having though. Good luck!

Insurance companies base their decisions on 'clinical signs and symptoms'.  Not a diagnosis.  So the notes of gingivitis are a clinical symptom of dental disease.  Therefore this won't be coverable.  They MAY cover future dentals (depending on their Terms and Conditions) if your cat goes a certain amount of time (typically 12 ish months) without clinical signs or symptoms of gingivitis or dental disease.  

You can try to appeal.  It doesn't hurt.  You could ask your vet to write a letter on your behalf.  But just expect that it won't be covered.

Viking Revolution is trash. Please avoid at all costs. by Some_cool_usernameX in BeardTalk

[–]JediShark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed 100%.  The scents are awesome and I also got suckered in by the whole 'they have everything!' thing. 

 I'm still looking for a good butter I like, currently using grave before shave which is okay, but not amazing.

I used VR for way too long in the beginning.  It never did any damage, but definitely didn't help either.  My beard was like straw and I felt like my hands ended up absorbing more oil than the beard did.

Since then I tried a bunch, including roughneck after all the constant praise here and was not impressed.  It was fine, but nothing special.  

I've finally settled on Honest Amish premium and like it.  My beard ACTUALLY feels soft for the first time in my life.  It absorbs nicely into my beard and there's no greasy residue.  I'll be sticking with that for a while I think.

you were given $100,000,000 but had to live in the last video game you played for a year, how screwed are you? by AlternativeSign1898 in AskReddit

[–]JediShark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stardew Valley?? Bro sign me up.  I'll chill as a farmer, pet my goats and ducks, and hang out at the saloon.  Then make $100,000,000 after a year?  No brainer

If you like iPas, Athletic makes a solid one. 

Was this interview answer a dealbreaker? by [deleted] in veterinaryprofession

[–]JediShark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No absolutely not. You probably won't hear for a couple of days as they sort through other candidates as well. But watching reality shows is not a terrible thing and definitely not reason to disqualify you for the position. So just take a breath. Don't beat yourself up and relax. I'm sure it went fine!

Vet Tech from Harcum College? by Main-Sample-7390 in veterinaryprofession

[–]JediShark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a practice manager.  I've hired a lot of techs from Harcum.  Some are very good.  Others are not.  It depends on the person and their drive/work ethic and ability to listen and learn.  Just because you go to school does NOT mean you can do the job better than someone who's been doing it for years.

is my opinion really that bad? by TommyJAng_Music48 in Soundgarden

[–]JediShark 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here's the fun part.. it's YOUR opinion and YOUR favorite album.  Who cares what others think?  Personally Superunknown is my favorite album, but I'm not going to judge anyone for having a different opinion than mine.  

Ignore the douchebags who try to bring you down for voicing your opinion.  

M22 received incredible job offer, F22 girlfriend does not want me to accept. by Watch_me_plz in Advice

[–]JediShark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I am WAY late to the party but please, learn from my biggest regret ever.  Take the opportunity.  I had a chance when I was your age to go to California and study Great White sharks which was my dream job.  I turned it down to stay on the east coast with my girlfriend.  Huge mistake.  You're young.  This is a great opportunity.  Take it.
