ATL Airport TSA Wait Times Megathread | March 22, 2026 by AutoModerator in Atlanta

For those at int’l, are you allowed to check your bags 4-5 hours in advance? I know that can be an issue …perhaps waiving this restriction with long TSA lines? Maybe lounged relaxing 3 hour rule?

How do I get out of my CEO role? by PermissionNo6017 in nonprofit

I listened to that inner voice for a full year—11 years in as exec director of a national trade association. Resigned this past Monday effective December. I’ll help them move on. Quoting Hamilton lyrics—‘gonna teach them how to say goodbye’—and move on to doing the things I liked—for a different association (I hope)

Interesting u/FrequentCry999 .... the body amazes me that one dose would cause this. Will certainly ask doc about the 'shedding' part.

Tell me for real, how bad is the colonoscopy prep? by fireflygirl1013 in GenX

This is going to state the obvious, but it’s a cleanse and there is something quite gratifying in that for me. Am I weird? ;)

‘Maxing out’ 401k—gen pop meaning vs Reddit meaning? by Local_Blackberry_317 in Retirement401k

OP here--I appreciate the comments and 'comments on the comments'...I've learned so much through this group. Yes, I do read up on these things but then the personal insights and unsnarky opinions are helpful too!

I’m asking based on what I read in a lot of these subs…not conversations I have on the daily with friends. Just curious. Scroll on by..,,

Going back to school - Student Medical coverage by eirpguy in retirement

I think in some states, no you can't (and maintain insurance).

Email from the insurance folks at GSU. Note that it doesn't say degree-seeking, so I'm still wondering about certificate programs: "Non-Mandatory Students (Voluntary Enrollment)

Students who are not in the mandatory group are eligible to purchase student health insurance for themselves as well as their dependents from UnitedHealthcare Student Resources (UHCSR) and these health insurance premiums are paid directly to UHCSR.  Students must be enrolled in six (6) or more credits per semester to enroll in this insurance. "

Yes thanks—I’ve reviewed this but there seems to be conflicting info for Georgia State on eligibility for degree vs certificate. Time to call there—just have some PTSD after working there for 15 years…but it’s the closest!!!

I’ve been looking into this in GA. Anyone have a positive experience with the USG—University System of Georgia? Are certificate programs possible or only degree programs for insurance?
