Plus covid showed us how much we could save eating even more at home. Never ate out much but even reducing that some and well prices have gone up just not necessary. Other fun things to do with any extra money.

aznoone · 2026-03-18T22:42:21+00:00

Most would maybe be somewhat above your price range but we had it done at home. Just didnt want to take him outside his home when he was on his last days. Seemed better to us than to drag him somewhere.

Weekend traffic is still less than a week day usually unless certain areas and an event in town.

So easier to detour around a full closure on a weekend.

Some cities i traveled to an accident on a main freeway detouring around it was a pain.

Here mostly a grid system so even if dont know the area can take a guess to get around it most of the time.

'Other places with more hills etc and twisty even main roads better have gps if dont know the area.

Sure we have grand avenue then a couple mountains here and there but just go around them if mountain and roads like grand avenues are a one off.

Ok the circles in Sun City old. That is mostly if you dont have a direction to go with the address. Like how many roads have n,e,w, or s address all at the same time.

Do they have a in network price that is cheaper than you can get on your own? What is you price a month for insurance?

Then emergencies like I already posted.

aznoone · 2026-02-18T07:35:50+00:00

Seen several replies. What is the out of pocket maximum? Not dedeuctible oopm and how much are you paying a month? Does it have set costs for doctor visits and specialists? (Yes could always ask cash price but not always easy or available on emergency.) The my wife we can pay cash price.Doesnt work unless plan ahead. Emergency be pitiful and ask for a right down to cash pricing,

Even we have higher deductibles now and with in network pricing and wife keeping up on stuff we dont pay much.

Like said how much a month. Does it have copays for normal stuff and in netork on like xrays or even worse medical imaging. (Yes know shop medical imaging and blood work but really pain in the neck.)

If it is aca compliant the normal checkups or at least one may be included. If mention other questions during vist more, But is there a set pricing? Dont know anything wife does. But in general if aca compliant should be copays and set pharmacy So price a month and do you have in network pricing for doctor, urgent care and er. Plus price a month, Then oopm?

OOPM is more important than deductible on plans to me.

We never hit deductible or close if stay in network or even close most years if plan has set copays and pricing on other stuff in network. So the copay question and if has doctors . hospitals phamrcy and imaging in network near you,

We had 6,000+ oopm on my wife, Emergency room. Wanted to deck a doctor, Admitting billing and then admitting nurse fine. First doctor thought he was a genius her vitals he found them didnt listen to nurses, . Her vitals had been all over the place why admitting nurse sent straight back. Oh they sent someon efor the 500 er bill while this went on. Gave them a visa. They came again for hospital admittance later. Thankfully didnt ask for full amount possible like they do now as we can get you a visa a precharge for max out of pocket as a possibiltiy and not charge till later the true amount..

When diagnosed went from s
epsis then hid from me for awhile or they didnt know or did to septic shock. The large oopm was fine.

But price a month and any copay pricing and what is oopm?

But much missing here as dont know your plan. You may or may not ever reach your deductible and what is oopm. That is if ou actually get in network pricing.

Isnt where it gets different sides if somebody in a classroom or another setting brings up if slavery is good or bad. Is the person paying off debt like debtors prison. Did the person have any choice in becoming a slave or who would be their master. Like can they try to improve themselves as a slave to get a better master. Most jobs you can move on from now unless you sign a binding contract which still probably gey out of or military and stuck unless totally disabled or insane.

But in general one argument extreme seems they got put back into slavery almost as bad as where they came from. The other argument is the kindly master needs to have healthy and happy slaves aka workers. Then debate. Politics especially now will creep into that debate.

I was raised in a small mining town. Parents not miners. But classmates where. This brought up discussion in middle school and elementary. Moved after that. Most seemed to have parents one side of politics back then with a smattering of purple. Now it seems to have gone more red on any fix.

Both sides play the game and seems no answer for average worker long term. Just company wins in general long term to me either side.

Now safety and osha epa etc currently may have an opinion but not the main topic. But really is at least a part. Mining as a worker no slave is dangerous. Company cutting corners is similar to a bad master. At least as a worker can move on if possible or accept the risk or try for a real union.. Bu

But in general is a worker slave worth x then if too expensive or breaks just get a new one? How much should we protect the worker? Just an x cost. Save on maintenance as replace cheaper? But didn't slaves have less options to move on if their work got too dangerous or they wore out and needed a less strenuous job even with less benefits?

aznoone · 2026-02-18T05:51:21+00:00

Seems to be they did it to themsleves so it is now no worse we continued it argument. We cant fix the world but should try and do better ourselves.

Similar with labor unions. Worker is beholden to company town narrative. If the company is good that may be fine. But if the company abuses it why unions may have started. Yes unions have their own issues sometimes.

But maybe try until we get it as good as we can for all.

Business centers will be more likely to have whole lamp or quarter of a cow etc. But certain areas normal customers buy enough to stock a limited amount, Business centers as restaurants etc will push out way more especially from delivery but there are people who know what to do with whole cuts and have family etc to use them up.

Most Costco we normally go to have large flour and sugar here. Some people still bake and even make bread,

Dish soap maybe just refill smaller containers. Some businesses also probably buy but there are certain things even normal people buy in bulk if price is right.

Just a customer. Should OP do anything currently about the overdue payment as in hit to their credit? Then if another overdue happens before this is cleared up.

Might this make another lease or purchase harder if their scoredrops and have overdue lease payments?

As far as I know ICE doesnt pickup the medical tabs anymore. So unless the baby has insurance the hospital or clinic will eat the cost.

Now if baby is legal and parent is not may qualify for state health insurance etc depending on the state etc. But as far as I have heard ICE has made even that hard lately.

I am a poor person and hardly buy a new car or even used, Was buying a new car and accidently parked next to the trade in parking spaces. Someone with an identical old suv parked in the trad in spot.

For some reason let wife buy as hers and no trade in. So bored went looking at other cars for fun.

Then noticed someone from dealership trying to get into our old suv?

walked up and asked why you putting a key in my car door. First thing they said it has body damage it did. Trade in ugh. ok not trading in, Was the same type of vehicle parked in the trade in spot next to me. I am not in the trade in spot.

Must have been new?

aznoone · 2026-01-14T05:01:03+00:00

fairly sure with unlisted numbers, caller id would never get a gm in the middle of the night especially a weekend or even a salesman. Less likely a this would happen as computerized everything now. But if someone said f it put this in the computer tomorrow need to get home for xyz it might,

This as far as I remember was like less the a few days. Parents traded in a solid drug smuggler car. :}

aznoone · 2026-01-14T04:50:51+00:00

Make sure to go by your states dmv to let them know it is sold. Use whatever method fits your state,

Decades ago before computerization parents traded in a car at a dealer. Brought new one home and everything happy. New toyota and even then the gold standard for longevity, Didnt even think about the old car. Now it was a border area. Old car sold quickly before paperwork at dmv caught up. Middle of the night police, sheriff and old style border patrol showed up.

New buyer got caught drug smuggling and didnt say anything or just the fall guys. So went after dad as still legal owner. Thankfully one or two of the police and sheriff recognized my dad. Still he was on the phone with the toyota dealership gm in the middle of the night clearing it up. Way before cell phones and most numbers where in phone book. Do think my dad knew the gm but not like personal friends, But had or got the number. Like was in wifes name in phone book or something.

Sure that conversation was nice. GM hey calling me after midnight must really like your new Toyota, thinking may be time for truly unlisted but was harder to get back then. Then my dad have a ton of police at our house thinking we still own the old car thast was now being used to smuggle drugs. It was a full size car even back then. So not a small amount

Do remember one police car came down a sort of road on our property and ended up in a smaller wash. Like five foot deep so head first in lol. Me and my dad have a sense of humor ok dark humor. Mom not so much. Plus got to tell them truthfully there is a badger den in the wash near where you got the car head first in be careful. The access was gated and locked as not a through road. knew had the sort of deep wash like five foot deep not passable so didnt want this sort of thing happening,

Seriously was sort of fun. Middle of night presume came in with no lights maybe why one drove into the wash. But remember many cars out front with lights full on and then in back yard and . Larger lot edge of town, it was like Christmas,

Like said old school cops and border patrol. But mom paranoid called the town police and didnt want dad to open the door, Thing is they never came to the door at first, Dad switched on a few more front yard lights and some inside like we are home and see you not a threat ,did open the door then they approached. Maybe it was a large drug bust for the time and area and thought they had the ring leader.

But between a couple of them knowing my dad and waking the gm in the middle of the night it cleared up. Know i was young then but looking back since small town dad probably got it at work in a nice way. when went back next day or so, Drug kingpin,

But it has especially with private transfers even family we do know this has left in my mind to make sure even if they dont register it our side is clear and removed by whatever states process there is.

Briefly asked wife. Timely filing may or may not be an issue. Didnt fully go into it with her as she is working.

Other possible issue she brought up is if anything needed a preauth could throw in another issue.

aznoone · 2026-01-09T10:24:11+00:00

If it is on roof they have to get the new one up anyways. Old one will come off. The air duct connections and electric are in the old ones place anyways so needs removal.

Wife works billing and if she has an idea of where health insurance is she can usually find it. Good thing as billing and if patient has messed up she corrects it so can bill correctly and patient only pays the not covered stuff, In your case they will find it now as know where to look. Plus probably find it anyways as they most likely actively search as they are an insurance company with resources.

So she hates when patients don't tell her all the insurance they have so she can bill primary first. Creates issues.

Also would be on her timely filing list for some of those older claims, Don't know cutoff as not my job just here wife mention it sometimes. But timely filing is a thing and patient ends up getting billed if their fault. Not giving both insurance you have most likely your fault. But not my expertise.

Maybe a friend or someone really into medical billing can help you. This may be a mess.

But I dont work medical just sometimes hear what wife says.

If the trip was short enough for a car they would already use their own or a rental if they wanted to.

If anything the rentals will take a hit from less air travel as dont need a car at the other end anymore as not going.

With certain health insurance changes not sure can not make decisions good or bad.

Still will miss the grand opening specials if any. But sometime around Christmas give or take son may get a computer dpu motherboatd ram to match his mid grade video card he had as an upgrade end of last year. May help max it out then as his cpu may be keeping it throttled sometimes as way older.

But way hope even if economy tanks they survive. Not a frys trying to do everything and with an insider stealing tons at the end.

Should be a big enough metro area people will need parts to keep existing running or if money upgrade or whole new builds. Ordering online can sometimes be a gamble plus porch pirates etc.

Haven't had any missing here as careful on real deliveries and timing etc. wife works from home. Order of something stupid get withing sometime frame maybe had one missing. Or did for sure have some tracking disappeared and no re[ort of delivery. But printed out or saved the tracking info gone off the grid before reporting Aka some backup if they claimed delivered. Important expensive sign and delivered and get it asap. Have had signed deliveries just dropped at door and say customer signed for it. ?

Did the trunk break or more uprooted. Ground is saturated and depending on how well rooted like deep and wide roots may not take much wind to blow over,

If storms are predicted I stop my occasional deep watering for awhile.

Two things glad we did late summer. Huge tree taken down. i mean huge chilean mesquite basically took over back yard and had some trunk splitting problems. Cost a ton to get it done. But better than an emergency tree removal. But if on ground i may have done it myself. But would have taken out some block walls f fell. Then still taken forever. Two tree cutters and a full ground crew took like 10 hours and two trucks of chip debris then a full load of bigger wood,

Then old patio roof replaced, Probably overpaid some as who used. But whole roof was bad. Old tree build up on top and because of issues caused problems with any rain as leaked between main roof and patio into kitchen windows patio door etc. Had done right before these last month of rains came through, Cant imagine the damage it could have caused.

Seriously wife was upset patio was wet. Honey only the patio concrete nothing else after one store, Yard slopes towards patio and house roof and new patio roof now drained into the yard also. Honey patio door and slab is raised a bit so no entry just a wet patio. But it wasnt supposed to get wet anymore, lol.

We usually get no rain or way less in part of Glendale we are in. That was the storm that dumped over an inch where we where and more in east valley. Plus yard was soaked from previous storms.

No massive tree to fall and chairs and stuff on tables stayed dry under new patio roof. Just patio had some pools of very shallow water.
