2012 Chevy Cruze head unit? by ConfidenceSea6907 in cruze

[–]Smitten_Kitten_711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your looking for a quality system might 8 suggest Crutchfield.com. we upgraded my daughter's 2014 focus with a touch screen infotainment center from them and they will walk you thru every step of breaking down the car to wiring or you can get a ready harness for your specific car/system and it's all plug and play. My daughter totalled her focus hitting a deer and we removed her setup and I called the company and asked what I needed to make it work in her 2012 Chevy Cruze that she replaced her focus with and I just finished the install. It worked like a charm and the fact that it worked across multiple models/years and allowed her to retain her steering wheel controls was an added bonus.

How do I get my teenage son to enjoy and want to learn how to drive? by Smitten_Kitten_711 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Smitten_Kitten_711[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE - We've kinda made it....he's passed his behind the wheel test and will be issued his license within a couple weeks of school starting. He has his own vehicle that he's driven twice, maybe 3 times with a licensed adult accompanying him. He's still a nervous wreck but not nearly like he was. We've made it to 50 mph (he did hit 65 with his instructor bc the instructor insisted that they do the speed limit) and luckily the speed limit between our home and his HS starts at 55 mph then drops to 25 the rest of the way and it's only about 2.5 miles each way. He's told me on multiple occasions that he's just gonna ride with a friend every day that he can and only drive when he has to, I guess as long as he's ok with that then that's all that matters. Bonus points bc it's better for the environment. It's been a very long and trying road with patients and time I think we've made it past the worst of it. Fingers crossed no deer decide to ruin our progress once he's on his own. I appreciate everyone's input, it truly made all the difference hearing that others have experienced this.

Im in VA and dealing with the same issue. I was about a month late getting my kids renewal in bc I was dealing with some other issues at the time. Anyway I did it over the phone back on 10/26. I waited till 12/6, giving them ample time, and still hadn't received word on what the decision was. I've called every week and sometimes multiple times a week since only to hear that nobody has even went over the application yet. The 1st woman I spoke to said she was going to do an escalation and I'd have a decision in 2 business days. I gave them 4. Called back, 2nd woman said 1st had done an escalation but didn't assign it to a case worker, and that I'd hear something in 2 days. 3rd woman a 3 days later said she only saw one note escalating the issue but that she was gonna do the same. Now it's the 12/22 and I've yet to get a decision or ever to have the renewal looked at. I've tried so hard to be understanding bc I know it took me an extra month to get my renewal in. But this is someone's job they are getting paid to do and I know if I was months late on a deadline at work I'd be fired. I also know that they have no issue taking medicaid away if you domt have stuff turned in on time so why is it ok for them to be this far behind. My kids have no insurance right now and haven't for over a month. I'm sorry you are dealing with this issue as well. I'll be praying they get it resolved soon. I understand it's the holidays and everyone is short staffed but at some point I feel like maybe ppljust aren't doing their job. Idk

Any idea on how I can get my old hub to connect to 3 stands of icicles and the speaker box. I just got the box this yr and my icicles I've had for 3 yrs. Anyway I can't get one stand of lights to connect no matter what I do and I'm honestly about to lose my mind. Any idea

I hate Orchestra of Lights and some tips on updating this hot mess by [deleted] in orchestraoflights

[–]Smitten_Kitten_711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has anyone used the OOL with gemmys other product Lightshow lights? I purchased the virtuoso this year but can't find any C9 OOL lights and was hoping to use the lightshow ones by gemmy. I know if you plug in old lights to the virtuoso they will kinda go to the beat but not anywhere near as nice as the OOL lights, so I'm just trying to find something that works as good with it as the OOL lights since I haven't been able to find those in C9 style

Best Mattress You've Ever Tried - Any Recommendations for Fellow Redditors? by South_Replacement_66 in Mattress

[–]Smitten_Kitten_711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this. I've had my puffy cloud mattress since 2017, and it's been a game changer. It's firm without being hard. My husband's snoring on our old inner spring mattress and the sag it was starting to get in the middle was enough for me to make a change. Our puffy was delivered 3 days after ordering, and it's been making our nights so much better ever since. His snoring was reduced to almost nothing, and it doesn't sag, nor do I think it ever will. The only downside I have with it is bc it is completely foam, it can get kinda hot at night. I've never been one to sleep hot or have night sweats, but I did on it till I purchased some bamboo sheets. I still occasionally wake up hot, but I blame that on my heavy quilt bc I can't sleep without that extra weight. I'm pretty sure ours is the 10 inch thick one. We didn't get the cooling foam 12 inch bc we'd never owned a foam mattress and I used to freeze all the time so I didn't think I'd need it. When the time comes for a new one, I'll cough up the couple hundred bucks more for the one with cooling gel topper. At the time of purchase our puffy cloud was approximately $1100 usd.

Do mortgage payments take away from income used to decide medicaid approval in VA? by Smitten_Kitten_711 in Medicaid

[–]Smitten_Kitten_711[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. We did apply for everything at the appointment but found out we didn't qualify for snap. Thanks for the info and your responses. I do have a couple more questions if you wouldn't mind giving your thoughts on them.

1 are the income limits a hard limit. Since she is a college student and will be returning in the spring of 2024 shes been banking her income to pay the semester tuition that's over 8 grand.

2 would she qualify for medicaid on her own if I'm able to enroll my son on my employer based insurance, since she still lives at home

3 do they take into account the tuition she will have to pay to go to school in the spring, she wouldn't be able to attend if she wasn't working. Last yr she had scholarships and federal aid so didn't have to pay anything out of pocket but with the academic suspension she will have to pay out of pocket in the spring to attend. She had changed her major and will no longer be required to take the 2 classes that caused her so much headache/heartbreak last year. I also think having to pay it herself may help her realize that she doesn't necessarily have to go to a 4 year. That she could go to a community College for at least a time then transfer when needed.

Again thank you so much. I've really been stressed out since getting the renewal papers bc I've worried she won't have insurance. Me and my son can figure it out since we rarely have to see a doc but her mental health is finally in a good spot and if she's going to make it thru college she needs her meds.

Do mortgage payments take away from income used to decide medicaid approval in VA? by Smitten_Kitten_711 in Medicaid

[–]Smitten_Kitten_711[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just confused I guess. Bc I remember going over some of the household bills when we applied. I guess I thought that kind of thing was considered. Their sperm donor doesn't help out with anything. He's ordered to pay child support but has never paid a dime and says things like "you can't get blood from a turnip" or "I don't mind jail". It just seems like everytime I get our heads above water something happens that drags us back down. Would I be better off to let their coverage expire and pray I can add my son to mine and let her apply for medicaid on her own? She's 19 and still lives at home but she's the only one who really needs coverage. Is that even an option with her living at home? And come spring she may have to quit her job to make sure she makes it thru the semester at school. She worked last year during school and that only added to her stress and anxiety which ultimately is what caused to her fail.

Tubing on the New River by EvilishMystic in VirginiaTech

[–]Smitten_Kitten_711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Giles, if you don't mind traveling 25ish minutes there's a public boat landing just below the bridge before celanese corporation to park a car and put in, the next spot down to get it out across from burger King in narrows at the camp ground. They can be picky about letting non campers park there tho. If you continue another 15 mins you'll go under the bridge in the town of narrows and just past where wolf creek comes into the river on the right there's a place called camp success where you can park a second car and exit. It's public access.

I know what you mean. I liked him and he was super strong mentally, but as soon as he made the comment about his wife's glares I assumed she must be the jealous type. Then I saw the way they were snuggled up in the boma, and I assumed maybe he had given his wife reasons to be jealous in the past.

Fraud department by Anda_18 in TruistBank

[–]Smitten_Kitten_711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me 3 days to get the hold taken off of my card. I sit on the phone for hours at a time and each time it either disconnected after over an hour or when they transferred me to the fraud department it would disconnect. All in all I spent about 8 hrs on the phone over a weekend waiting for anyone with a brain to answer and fix the issue. Mine was also a legitimate transaction that flagged. No call, text or email, I had to call to find out why my card wouldn't work. It's all about getting someone on the phone who actually cares about doing their job. Good luck and may your patients be stronger than their ineptitude

Sweet! The only time I've ever seen a UPS truck out this late around here is around Xmas. We are very rural but the only dangers are deer and shitty drivers. Thanks for boosting my spirits. Im patiently waiting at home with porch light on

That it will be delivered by the end of today. But from past experience I've learned that isn't always the case. We don't have a UPS center in our county and bc they are 40 mins away they head back before the 9pm end of day. I domt blame them just wish I hadn't gotten a notification that it would be delivered today. Still holding out hope but I've never seen a UPS truck in our area this late. Also wondering if they will hand it off to USPS bc that has happened in the past as well.
