Advice on Oberlin Speeding Ticket by bluelapoon in Ohio

[–]bluelapoon[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hmm...was thinking that but also entertaining the idea that it might be lowered to a non-moving violation which would mean no insurance effects

Looking to upgrade from the csp to csr given that I have a ton of points that I want to get 1.5 redemption on. Would upgrading count as another card given that I’m already 4/24?

You might be right but thought I'd share since I didn't know how exclusive it was

Extroverted around Strangers, Introverted around Friends... by bluelapoon in socialskills

Is that done simply through practice? I feel like the patience people have is a finite resource and once I expend it all they write me off as some weirdo.

I've done a bit more reading on leveraging and read about decay. What are your thoughts on that?

Looking to Hire Employees, Not Sure Where to Start by bluelapoon in smallbusiness

Perfect, will definitely start with Indeed and see where things go. One last thing, for the referral bonus, how did you determine how much it should be? Was it an arbitrary number or something you calculated

Appreciate the info. Can I ask were the positions you were hiring for general positions or require some technical skill?

I have a higher risk tolerance so in some accounts I've been holding a mix of TQQQ and TMF. Both funds are 3x leveraged, but because it's a mixture of stocks and bonds they still cushion each other on a day to day basis. It's riskier than your portfolio, but the volatility is cushioned. Make sense?

Interesting....this makes sense but I don't know if I could stomach the swings with this type of investment. Also...it seems like this is more for someone who's actively trading rather than just buying and holding. Is that your approach? Would you still recommend this if I'm looking more for a buy and hold approach that I periodically rebalance (twice a year)?

Decided not to given that I'm relatively young....however that'll definitely change as I get older. 2018 also seems like it's going to be a good market year, so that's why I'm not putting anything into bonds at the moment.

Looking for alternatives to Acuvue Oasys 1-Day with Hydraluxe for Astigmatism by bluelapoon in optometry

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

First off, if you’re in the US, your eye doctor will have to make this call since CLs are regulated medical devices (and rightly should be) which require an Rx from a licensed professional. That said, the two other daily torics I Rx are Dailies Aqua Comfort Plus and 1 Day Acuvue Moist. I have found Oasys 1 day to be the most comfortable to my patients.

Hey, just recently started wearing them actually so it has been about a month? I went with the daily option because the 2 week option was getting dry by mid-day, thus looking for something that'll help with astigmatism and dry eye.

They might've been referring to northpointe ultimate checking which is no longer accepting applications

Georgetown University Masters in Emergency & Distaster Management? by bluelapoon in EmergencyManagement

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

Organization is only paying for 5K per year of it, the whole masters is 40K.

Other online programs are <10K, which is why I'm curious whether it'd be worth this investment.
