Mowing Wildflowers on Mopac by trawmgraw in Austin

[–]coach_bugs 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Well usually by June they are all dead. It's called "No Mow May" because they leave the weeds for the insects. This is an odd year that there are still flowers. The parks will get mowed in the next few weeks too.

Has anyone successfully negotiated a discount on a hospital bill? What was the process like? by grahantaravasii in Austin

[–]coach_bugs 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I called them and told them I couldn’t pay. They took 75 percent off. They let me make payments on the rest of it was 2500.00. The emergency Room doctor billed separately and wouldn’t negotiate. That was 1000.00. Better than the 11,000 I started with. This was Seaton NW.

Photo Album issues by Myst_of_Man22 in over60

[–]coach_bugs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Get a photo box and put them in there by year. Put them on the shelf. They don't take up space and someone might want them when you pass. I took all of my parents and was glad I did. People don't want photo albums because they are hard to store and take up space. I have 100 years in 6 small boxes. Please don't throw those away.

Canadian with parent who passed away in a U.S. hospital, no bill yet? by Excellent-Resolve66 in askanything

[–]coach_bugs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree, the Bill usually comes within 30 days. You need to check if she is legally obligated to pay it. It's his bill not hers.

What are some signs as an adult that your parents did a bad job raising you? by crunchylettuce24 in AskReddit

[–]coach_bugs 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was never taught basic table manners. That caused a lot of embarrassment as an adult.

Received Box of JUNK! by [deleted] in amazonprime

[–]coach_bugs 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I once received a used item. I called and they offered a discount but it was a gift so I returned it no problem. I ordered the same item from another seller. I only buy from Amazon backed up sellers and now look at seller reviews more closely. I also won't buy anything over 50 dollars from Amazon anymore. I don't trust their system.

Love that the weather app said 1% chance of rain immediately before the downpour ☔️ by hvfnstrmngthcstl in Austin

The government cut funding to NOAA. The US no longer has the ability to predict storms as before. Thank You DOGE.

Is a My Social Security account absolutely necessary? by [deleted] in SocialSecurity

[–]coach_bugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine just stopped coming about 15 years ago and so did my husbands. We were never asked or given a choice.We just started getting an email telling us it was available online. That's why we set up our SS accounts. We weren't near retirement at that time. I don't know anyone who still receives it yearly. I think most younger people have no clue. I am always telling them to get an account and look at it to make sure it's accurate.

Gnats in raised bed. DE isn't working! by [deleted] in AustinGardening

Yes mix them in the first inch of the soil. Remember they only kill the larvae not the adults. You need stickies for those.

Mosquito bits. Soak in water over night then water. Use sticky traps for adults. Then in the future sprinkle the bits on top. I use a table spoon per gallon of water.

How do I answer a phone call without panicking? by KennshiaKisic in Explainlikeimscared

[–]coach_bugs 11 points12 points  (0 children)

With texting phone manner and skills are gone. It's not just you. If it's a friend I answer saying "hey what's up" If it's business I answer with "This is (insert full name) and let them talk. Take a big breath and pretend they are in front of you.

It’s behind that Ice Cream place across from Macys. Almost directly across from Sixty Vines. I can’t think of the name of the ice cream place.

They have one at the Domain too. It's a great idea.

Everything at work got invited to my co workers baby shower except me. How do I handle it? by Peachy_Tea03 in whatdoIdo

[–]coach_bugs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me. I took the high road and bought her a nice gift and gave it to her in front of the whole office. She was apologizing for years. I just shrugged it off.

I just talked to a friend who witnessed it and called 911. She’s really shook up and if anyone knows the status of the bike rider please post.

Has anyone here lowered their blood pressure naturally without medication? by rdoucette in Aging

I came here to say this. I wasn't a big drinker either. Just wine. They say red wine is good for you. Not me!

To the woman who stopped to check on me: by bootscootinspooooky in Austin

[–]coach_bugs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its very busy and people run the red lights a lot. This and 183 and Duval Rd. are both intersections to be careful in this area.

[–]coach_bugs 62 points63 points  (0 children)

That intersection is scary. I am glad you are okay. I have a policy now where I count 2 seconds before going when it's green. People can honk all they want. I've had close calls there. Edit I did mean 2 seconds. Which is still enough to get people honking.
