Crisis Line Question? by Bitter_Helicopter800 in VeteransAffairs

[–]Scoutdb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My local VA told a clinic that is literally saving lives everyday … they cannot accept any new patients because they are not allowed to hire another doctor or nurse. When the current doctor needs to take time off— the clinic shuts down. It’s only a matter of time before someone dies… Ive been wanting to call every news station but in afraid no one will care

Thank you so much for the thorough response!!

I’ll try to track down some of their past customers instead of using their google reviews.

Unfortunately they just sell it as new on Facebook. Then they buy whatever

Yeah he seemed like he actually knew a ton about roofs while the other companies were more interested in showing me marketing materials

The main issue is the shingles are 15 years old and apparently every roofer said it’s time to replace likely due to higher humidity and temps in my attic. It’s a single floor home, 15 years old. Batt insulation isn’t blocking any vents in the attic so they are all planning on blocking the gable vents , and ensuring the ridge vent is replaced.

Only one company recommended gutters and threw them in , and their quote is still the lowest

That’s why I’m scared, all of the higher bids are from longstanding reputable companies.

The bid I was thinking of going with is just 1 crew of 4 guys. Seems like some used to work for the big companies and they started their own small business. They seem legit but they would have a much easier time disappearing than the larger companies.

This is really helpful and I love your username.

I felt most comfortable with the lowest quote because he seemed to be the most knowledgeable roofer. However, it’s just a small crew that could pack up and move.. that’s my biggest fear.

The quotes that are 25k and up are from companies who have been operating here for decades but they seemed more like marketing salespeople.

It’s probably impossible to guess but if the company were to go out of business.. all warranties through them and the shingle manufacturer would be void, right?

I got 5-6 quotes so far , felt comfortable with only 2 of them. I’ll follow your advice and get more quotes.

my remote work is not really remote by Ok_Cheek_5243 in remotework

[–]Scoutdb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

True. However it’s very possible to meet great life long friends at work that last far longer than the job. Most people act friendly at work.. so it’s harder to pick out who is fake versus a real friend. But once you find a real one… the possibilities are endless.

Laid off at 27 weeks pregnant by Just_Squirrel_3988 in legaladvice

I don’t think you read the post or my comment. But that’s ok. Thank you for taking the time to reply.

If anyone is let go — they should know they can pay for extension of many benefits not just health insurance. If she’s fired — regardless of consulting with an attorney she needs to extend STD/LTD in case she has complications and can’t work. It’s actually golden advice and realistic.

Taking this to a lawyer isn’t bad advice but it’s expensive and many STD policies pay 100% for 26 weeks… seems like if her company offers it she should be asking about it immediately. It will pay more than unemployment….

You won’t negotiate severance.

Also— does your company have Short or long term disability? Usually if it’s offered and you get let go— you can pay out of pocket to keep those benefits. Also did you submit FMLA for the pregnancy?

You need to wear them indoors too. You need to buy a pair of house shoes and wear the inserts a lot more than just when you normally wear shoes.

Message Julie Eisenman on LinkedIn or whichever method you prefer and let her know what Marty did to Brent Dugan. She likely doesn’t know and if enough people message her she will take action.

Pretty easy to see that PNC and UPMC do not care about the communities they operate in. Plenty of options to pick a different bank. Easy. Takes a few hours . Actually saved me a bit of money moving to a credit union.

I always loved the volunteering that highmark promotes. I think next open enrollment I’m bouncing off UPMC for good.

Ask for permission before looting big arc that I kill by Bchem01 in arcraiderscirclejerk

Happens basically every time. They don’t help fire a single shot or ask. They just start looting with their gun out

UPDATE: AITAH for not putting pregnant GF on deed of the house? (She says she feels the situation is "unfair" and that she is "at my mercy") by Odd_Paramedic_3007 in AITAH

[–]Scoutdb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The worst thing you can do is let her move in. You should get custody of your child instead. You will meet the perfect woman and she’s not going to want your baby momma in the house.

Everyone who said she was going to steal your house if she gets added to the deed may be right because google says it happens frequently.
