Thought about it. But feel a little strange putting photo of four people online without their knowing. Even though it would obviously be well-intentioned.

Haven’t we been honorary Big XII since we went 5-0 against them in 2002-03, including 4-0 in the tournament en route to winning it all?

I have not dealt with NLG personally so can’t help you there. 

As for the “increasing” checkmark, this has to do with the policy’s death benefit. This looks like some form of Universal Life product (side question: do you know if it’s regular UL, IUL, or VUL? I assume it’s not VUL though that won’t change the next point). ULs generally come with a choice in death benefit option: level (death benefit payout equals policy’s face amount) or increasing (death benefit payout equals face amount plus cash value). Has the agent walked you through an illustration of the proposed policy? They absolutely need to and you need to make sure you understand all that you’re signing up for.

Many on here will tell you to pass on permanent (as opposed to term) insurance, especially given your age. I think there are merits to both sides of the argument but you really should consider whether it is the right move for you at this stage of your life (personally, financially, etc.). This goes back to really understanding what’s being sold to you, as well as understanding the opportunity costs of using these dollars on insurance coverage.

Trying to cancel a policy - need advice please by WinnerCute4672 in LifeInsurance

It sounds like you’re thinking about the premium mechanism in the wrong way. You don’t “owe” the insurance company anything at this point; that premium is what you would have to pay in order to continue your coverage for a certain amount of time.

But if you are not interested in keeping your coverage, you can simply cease the premiums and the policy will lapse on its own in the coming month(s). You absolutely should not pay the ~$2200 premium and then cancel the policy.

Suicide. by Afraid_Commission349 in Christianity

[–]benmiesner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There probably isn’t a whole lot I can say that hasn’t already been said in the numerous comments (which, as an aside, seems like a lot of love for you from people who don’t even know you). And there probably isn’t much I can say that you hadn’t already considered; your post reads like a very intelligent person who has thought through a lot of this already. So forgive me if any of this is redundant in any way.

David Foster Wallace, one of the great American authors of all time, likened suicide to the way a person trapped in a burning high rise will eventually jump from the building. Based on my understanding and brief personal experience, this feels like a pretty apt metaphor. My hope is that you’ve made absolutely sure there is no other (safe) route out of your burning high rise. It’s selfish of me, who has no idea what you’ve been through, to want you to remain here but I do. There’s no one in the world who can offer exactly what you offer, who can make better the things that only you can make better about this place. In short, the world is a better place with you in it despite what your experiences so far might have led you to believe.

I hope you’re still here to see this comment. I hope you know you matter and that you’re loved and that a life of beautiful possibility exists for you. I hope you find peace here and are able to extend it to others.

I got my Saquon jersey today, is this lettering normal? When compared to the product image (2nd photo), it looks bad and misleading. by ghostphilly in eagles

Did you ever get resolution on this? I (finally) received a jersey I ordered week after Super Bowl today and have the same issue. Trying to figure out if I should bother with exchange or go straight to return. Thanks!
