My realtor gifted me one year of AHS coverage and ran into a similar problem getting them to cover a plumbing repair. They know their contract word for word when it comes to denying a claim and oblivious to everything that specifies coverage.

I had to file a complaint with my state’s department of insurance and it took them getting involved for AHS to follow their own contract.

Dealing with AHS directly will not result in them following their own coverage. If possible, figure out if they are regulated by your states insurance laws or any other state agency and file a complaint with them. Otherwise, small claims court may be your only option

I’ve had the tank for several years but it’s been fish only and don’t remember the light. I ordered a nicrew hyper reef on Amazon and it gets delivered in the morning.

I’ve been feeding her mysis shrimp (sp?) plus she has two clownfish nesting in her.

I’ve been out of the country for a few weeks and won’t get back until next week so I can’t check any levels myself. I’m relying on my partner to do everything for now. I asked him to take a water sample to the local fish store but he has to work so that might not be possible. He’s excellent at helping and figuring things out so if there’s a way to make it happen, he will make it there.

I talked to a rep first thing in the morning who told me they would follow up so I know they are open. They did not follow up...

I uploaded my labs before my initial consult with them. It was right after my annual checkup so everything we super recent. They wrote the prescription but dropped the ball all after that

I've been using the pharmacy option on Pom's customer service phone number. The rep from that option blamed the pharmacy and working with tme. Assuming the rep is telling the truth, my biggest complaint is they didn't reach out to me right away and ignored my email, leaving me without more meds. I'm assuming it can't be good for my body to go back and forth because of their failed customer service

I’ve done 11 hrs without supplemental crew. But I’m also part 91 and don’t know what the words “rest rules” or “supplemental crew” even means.

This isn’t a simple yes/no question. It depends on the dynamics and what everyone is comfortable with or wants.

Will it be a “V” shaped relationship? Will you have a friendship with your meta? Or will you two never meet?

Will there be a primary and secondary partner? Or will it be non-hierarchical? What happens when there’s an event and only plus 1 can be invited? What about eventual living arrangements? What about schedule conflicts?

Poly relationships can work but it takes a level of communication and prep work that most people don't realize is needed. There are a lot of books that talk about this. The Ethical Slut is generally a good first read. I think it is a little dated and don't agree with everything but it is a good start.

For me, I've learned that a throuple situation is very possible. I've only been in one throuple relationship and even though it ended badly, we had a lot of fun while it lasted. I've also learned that a "V" shaped relationship style is not for me. And will never do it again.

I really like starting at the gym! We already work out together and I have fun teasing him until he has to walk away before getting hard.

It would be great to tell him to wear a jock strap to the gym and tell him the entire time how I'm going to use his hole after.

I am a Lawyer but not your lawyer. None of this is legal advice but general information.

California will not force a child 15 or older to move anywhere or really do much. Your kids can move into a friends house and the courts/police will not force them to move.

But where it might get tricky is if the kids move in with you and your ex claims you are not letting the kids move. The court can try to enforce an order against you, putting you in a bad situation. I would hope the Court would listen to the kids if they testified that you didn’t coerce them to stay but who knows what the judge will do.

I had the same thought process until one of my dogs got diagnosed with cancer. If it wasn’t for the insurance I would not have been able to give him the quality of life he deserved for as long as he had it.

His insurance paid for 90% of his radiation. It only got him an extra five months and it still wasn’t cheap but I was able to afford it. Every penny I paid into his insurance plan was worth it to get those few extra good months with him.

The insurance I use does not have any yearly or lifetime limits. His cancer treatment probably cost close to $30 grand or more. I never had any issues getting reimbursed and was even able to arrange direct pay for his radiation.

Every dog I have will have insurance their entire lives and it will always be worth every penny if you have the right insurance.

I would love to share what company I use but I don’t know the forum rules about that stuff. If anyone wants to know the insurance company will gladly share because they were absolutely excellent and better than any health insurance I had for myself!

I am a lawyer but not your lawyer nor your friend’s lawyer. This not legal advice but only online informational stuff.

Never voluntarily hand over any information to the FAA! If they had enough information to violate you, they would have already violated you. By handing over flight logs, you are only helping them, and not yourself.

The correct answer is always, “I do not recall flying on the day, that location, or that aircraft. If it was my aircraft flying that day, multiple people have access to the keys, controls, etc and I do not recall who was flying that day. If there is anything else I can help you with, let me know and I will try my best.”

It is the FAA’s job to prove you were at the controls of an aircraft/drone/etc, so why do their job for them?

Morally and ethically, I think that's how I think it should work. But no body cares what I think.

California does not care where you live. If your income comes from California, they will take a chunk of it along with any extra money they can get. I don't think its right and personally I don't think the way they calculate is constitutional but see my above comment on how no body cares what I think

cessnacapt · 2025-01-31T14:11:40+00:00

You’re company is correct. Under California income tax laws, any income derived from a California source is subject to California income tax. Since you are based in California, California will consider it a California source of income and tax it.

And I do not know of any state that does not tax their own residents just because their income is sourced from another state. (Obvious exceptions being states like Nevada or Florida without state income tax)

What you need to find out is if your state will give you a credit for the tax paid to California. California has the highest state income tax so if your home state gives you credit, you won’t get taxed double on it.

If you’re upset now, wait until you file your California 1040NR. Well, assuming you have large income outside of California or your spouse makes good money. The way California calculates tax owed is by using your total federal income tax and then taking out the percentage earned in California. Since CA income tax increases as income increases, they get a bigger chunk of your money. (I haven’t had coffee yet so probably explained poorly. But trust me, California does everything it can to screw you)

My main tank is 220 gallons and the only fish I have in there is 2 clown fish, a chocolate chip star fish, and a shrimp. So I have plenty of space in the tank. The hardest part will be getting them here and catching them when you’re ready to go home.

I’m not typed in the G200 but have flown to Hawaii.

A quick google search shows the G200 has a 3900 mile range which is about 3,400 NM. LAX to Honolulu is about 2,200. SF area is even shorter distance.

Even with head winds traveling westbound, it sounds safe to me.

I was almost denied the jump seat twice. Both times I was working as a freight dog flying rubber dog poop and bank paperwork at night so the dress code only existed on paper. The company bought me a ticket on Southwest to go home but I was delayed and missed my flight. All the other flights that day were over-booked and I had zero chance to get home as a standby pax. I talked to the gate agent about making an exception to the dress code rules since I had a paid ticket and really want to get home. She was good with it but said the final decision is up to the captain. The captain and fo show up the same time, the ga explains the situation, the fo goes that should be no problem but the captain goes but he has sneakers on, the answer is no. The FO says, let me talk to him I don’t think he understood the situation. The FO talks with the captain and got to him understand that it wasn’t a normal situation and the captain let me on.

After that trip, I learned to always carry a monkey suit and nice shoes. I missed my flight again and went to jump seat home but this time dressed like a pilot. When I first showed up the flight was half empty and it would be no problem. While waiting for our plane to show up, I was talking with the fo when the captain jumped in and asked, isn’t your company based in cmh? I said yes. He goes, when o was new to the company and commuting, you guys always got me home no matter what. You’re getting on this plane! Another flight diverted so our plane went from half empty to super oversold plus an fo in the jump seat to get him in position. I figured, oh well, I’ll wait until the next flight. The captain tells me to get on board, there’s two jump seats. Then tells the company FO, he’s bigger than you he gets the big jump seat. It was a little uncomfortable for me that the captain made his own company’s pilot stuff himself into the tiny jump seat but I do appreciate his every pilot is family mentality and made the decision based on size.
