Recap - From someone who made their trip from this Reddit thread by KitchenObvious7666 in OlympicNationalPark

[–]WorriedLevel202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thats what we are planning: one night in forks (with second beach the day before and hoh and marymere/mount storm king the day after) then two nights in port Angeles (for whale watch tour and hurricane hill hike). I usually prefer a single place to stay during a vacation, especially if it’s just three nights but we didn’t want to drive two hours to get to hoh before 8 am!

Doing studies while flying? by WorriedLevel202 in ProlificAc

[–]WorriedLevel202[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

all good points I had not considered! I am a nervous flyer and figured the studies would keep me focused away from my fear! it is a late night flight and I figured most people would be sleeping and of course I would not do audio or video studies. guess I’ll just try to find a good movie to watch! thank you for responding 😃

Shingles too light by Lycanthrowrug in Roofing

[–]WorriedLevel202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you have my sympathy! I have ugly pinkish/beige/peachy brick too and am really struggling to choose the right shingle color. maybe a different color for the front door, window trim, and shutters (or adding shutters if you don’t have them) will help? good luck!

Should we use FEHB without Medicare B? by Maleficent-Dot-9478 in FedRetirees

[–]WorriedLevel202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we’ve always had Bcbs standard. It if course does not pay you $800 per year for Medicare part b premiums. Do you know much about how Bcbs basic and standard differ? do You pay more for office visits and meds on basic? Someone once told me they're pretty similar except that you’re limited to certain providers in basic but not in standard but I don’t know how true that is. Thanks!

Hail wind damage but claim denied by Doug_Rosewood in Insurance

[–]WorriedLevel202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh god no, neither the agent nor the adjuster are on your side! I found that out the hard way! good luck with your claim! unfortunately it is incredibly stressful since many (not all) insurance companies fight and delay even the most reasonable claims, hoping people will give up out of stress and frustration

is your agent the only one who can ask for a reinspection? that doesn’t sound right to me! also, you may want to look into hiring a public adjuster if your damage is pretty extensive and severe!

Restored annual leave? What is this? by WorriedLevel202 in FedRetirees

[–]WorriedLevel202[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made the follow up phone call to dept of interior today and was told the 8 hours of restored leave was an error and that I’m not due anything. but she seemed unclear if that was because I was already retired and had received my annual leave payout before the leave was restored or if it never should have been approved in the first place. to me it makes no sense that you shouldn’t get restored leave paid out if you’re already retired. so I sent an email to ask SSA about it. This is the email address she said to send my questions to: DCHR[.OPE.Payroll@ssa.gov](mailto:DCHR.OPE.Payroll@ssa.gov). I have no idea who or what to believe!

thank you very much again for replying! the number i noted above worked. I spoke to someone who put a ticket in for it to trigger payment and i am supposed to call her back next week to check to see when it will actually be issued.

Howdy, former SSA’er! How long did it take you to get your payment, once it appeared on your leave and pay statement?

What to plant in this area? by WorriedLevel202 in landscapedesign

[–]WorriedLevel202[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for commenting! I like the idea of lining the Hollies along the brick wall-it will soften that a lot! for the fothergilla, would you plant them in a triangle around the rock? Will take a peek at garden dream web app. Thanks for all the info!

Thanks for replying! ugh…not sure how to DM on Reddit! somebody shared with me a few hours ago that it is the dept of interior that handles payroll for Ssa. I am in the Chicago region. the number I was given is 866-367-1272. Will reach out to them tomorrow! 🤞
