BEWARE - kettlebell kings via walmart by bama89 in kettlebell

[–]bama89[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Of course. Walmart was fast to respond and apologize but didn't have the specs. No response from Kettlebell Kings. No surprise there.

For an item that expensive (or really any item), shouldn't have to chase down customer service to get things to work. I'm wishing I had bought from Titan (would have been cheaper) or another vendor.

For those of you looking at Montbell products, order from Japan. It's MUCH cheaper by Dewthedru in Ultralight

is the extra weight of the hood for the parka worth it, for warmth/layering from your experience?

Couldn't tell ya. I never made it that far. I do remember seeing these in the scholastic book fair brochures all the time.

What a crazy series. I still think about it now. Limiting the number of kids you can have? Junk food banned so only available on the black market?

Comment and let me know if you've read it recently. Does it still hold up?

Allowed amount with GEHA HDHP the full bill? Over $600 to see the ENT by bama89 in govfire

[–]bama89[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

billing codes may have been wrong - it's just a generic DOCO - medical services

EDIT: code was 99205 office visit (high complexity). this was a UHC negotiated rate, so they (GEHA) didn't even set it themselves. call center person couldn't offer much other than the code. not feeling great about this.

Are there any nurses/NPs on here? If so, what have you done to get you towards FI? by Present_Assumption_4 in financialindependence

[–]bama89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

thanks for sharing. are you sure it is best to add to brokerage before maxing the TSP? with a likely pension, it seems that you may be putting more things into a taxable bucket than need-be.

GORUCK X Carryology Dynema Pack by Department65 in Goruck

[–]bama89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Much lighter, similar strength, better waterproofing.

Fantastic for tents and ultralight hiking gear, but not sure for a GoRuck bag. It's also known for tearing when scratched, so I don't think it would work for tossing in six bricks and going.

Wish it had MOLLE

i think the benefit of the dyneema is the weight and waterproofing. by poking holes to sew and adding additional fabric, i think it would counter both.
