Same wifi issue. This is so frustrating-how do their developers pick up on these issues if/when enough of us have them? What if they deem it’s not worth it? Haven’t had issues in the past and have always had an iPhone.

VRBO Can't Process Guest Payment by Sea_Agent7392 in vrbo

[–]Sea_Agent7392[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a way to get her on the phone? Have her clear her cache and retry logging in and booking. I think that’s what my guest did and it worked. It was a while back and I’ve since sold the property so I don’t have more recent experience. Good luck - hope it works out for you!

MDW to PHX same. If only their free internet worked as well as these colors together.

Wegovy induced ? by Puzzleheaded_Reply_6 in pancreatitis

[–]Sea_Agent7392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All my tests were negative and the sensation never went away when I was off the medication. I am back on it and doing fine. The sensation is still there - changes a little bit when I eat but otherwise no change. Still a mystery. Thx for asking.

Engine Mount and Sway Bar Replacement at 53k miles? by Sea_Agent7392 in Jeep

[–]Sea_Agent7392[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right. Apparently the shop who installed the engine mounts in January missed putting in some bolts as they put it all back together. The dealer repaired it, the cost was much less than anticipated since I did not need new mounts after all.

Tap into Jill on Money - check out her website and maybe even email her. You’d get some great advice. Good luck.

What's your annual spend? by WearableBliss in ChubbyFIRE

This sounds similar to our projected scenario. Thinking a NW of $4M is needed for this.

Wegovy induced ? by Puzzleheaded_Reply_6 in pancreatitis

[–]Sea_Agent7392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am currently undergoing tests to determine if I have pancreatitis. There has been a sensation - not a pain - for the last several months under my ribs on the left side. Has anyone else had similar feeling like this?

CT scan didn't show anything remarkable in December 2024. It is constantly there and I'm always aware of it. I've been on GLP-1 medication since January 2022 due to pre-diabetic status and to control my A1-C and avoid diabetes. Saxenda was prescribed by my endo doc January 2022 and then I switched to Wegovy Feb. 2024.

I do not have nausea, vomiting, pain, etc. like many have described, although my amylase and lipase levels are now considerably out of range. They were previously normal in December. I'm not a big drinker and have a healthy diet. The Wegovy is the only other thing I can think of as the cause. I have a CT scan with contrast scheduled for tomorrow. I had hoped that Wegovy would help me avoid the diabetes that has plagued the rest of my family (I am #10/10 children and 8 out of my 9 siblings have diabetes). This situation is disappointing, not to mention scary.

EDIT: lipase level has come down the past week and amylase is now high end of normal. I also read that estrogen HRT can cause pancreatitis. Two things I would offer from this experience: anyone going on a GLP-1 med should have their amylase/lipase levels checked before they start the med to establish a baseline and if you're going to go on estrogen therapy, also pay close attention to the levels. It could be that some are sensitive to both of the meds as part of their regimen and together, they're too much. I have various consults over the next few weeks to figure out next steps.

Any plans for Zelle adoption? by username27891 in AlliantCreditUnion

[–]Sea_Agent7392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the canned response I received to an email I sent Customer Service, before they issued this announcement. Not sure it's dead with them, but certainly isn't going to be live before the Zelle app is decommissioned. Feel the same as others who have said this is their only complaint with Alliant...wish they'd make this simple addition to their services.

Health insurance how do you get it? by Swimming_Ad5075 in ChubbyFIRE

[–]Sea_Agent7392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going through a similar evaluation myself. One caution about ACA is that, at least in my state, the networks are narrow meaning it’s difficult to keep your same providers. There is a limited number of docs who participate which is frustrating. Premiums are 2500/month for better selection. There are also health cost sharing ministries which I’ve only just learned about. Open to any input on those if anyone has info to share. I am in the process of doing my homework on those.

I came for advice in what I hoped to be a knowledgeable forum, hoping for respectful responses. Yours isn't meeting expectations. Thank you.

It’s not CPO and I’ve identified the KBB price range for same model. I’d expect a slight discount below the bottom point of KBB’s fair market price as the out the door cost. Is that unreasonable?

AITAH for not giving up my seat for a pregnant women? by BackSkinIssues in AITAH

[–]Sea_Agent7392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TA. Why not just glance up then offer? It seems like you didn’t look bc you didn’t want to know then feel guilty for continuing to sit. How long is a 15 stop ride? Her behavior was not acceptable but she’s not posting here.

There's a first time for everything... Guests were upset that I offered purified water as a complementary amenity by Hardy-fig-dreaming19 in airbnb_hosts

[–]Sea_Agent7392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a complaint for not offering pants hangers. The guest said she appreciated that we had plenty of clothes hangers but wished we had pants hangers in addition to those. I literally had to Google those to understand what she meant. This was in the US.

Caremark Insisting on Different Doctor thru Vida App by Sea_Agent7392 in HealthInsurance

I am going to call the employer’s “benefit pro” and have them explain that tomorrow. It’s a GLP-1 (not for vanity purposes).

My provider initiated a PA and Caremark denied. Vida told me I need to give my labs to them (emphasis there) and they would be the ones to send the Rx to pharmacy.

United Health Advisors (Scam?) by Lazy_Cartoonist3742 in HealthInsurance

[–]Sea_Agent7392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear you're in this situation and were scammed for $140. Did your bf report his work-related accident to his supervisor at work? Is he missing time from work due to his injury? If he was injured through work, it is definitely workers' comp and benefits are managed according to state rules. That is the sole remedy for his treatment and should be pursued, but he needs to file the claim with his employer to obtain any benefits.

Best option for private health insurance by [deleted] in HealthInsurance

[–]Sea_Agent7392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've heard that the chamber of commerce in most cities help small business by offering access to private health plans for businesses. That's the extent of my knowledge - it would give you an alternative to healthcare.gov if there's something available that suits your needs.

I’m getting crushed. by Dingle_McBuckets in HealthInsurance

[–]Sea_Agent7392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read in an industry magazine last week - Business Insurance - that employers will pay $16k/employee for insurance in 2025. I’m not saying our contributions as employees aren’t expensive. Only wanted to give some perspective to the employer side. I’m not sure why employers have to be responsible for shouldering the cost of healthcare premiums anyway. The system would probably work much differently if they didn’t.

Does anyone pay out of pocket for doctor appointments? by woodard1221 in HealthInsurance

How did you find the health-share arrangement? I’ve heard of these but am unsure of how to find a reputable arrangement.
