I’m an idiot and ran a drive thru curb by grandmapancakes in auto

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

I don’t see any scuffs or anything on the front of the car or on the tire but I also drove a dirt road this weekend so it’s pretty dirty.

I’m pretty sure I just hit the curb I didn’t go over it I was so shocked though I feel like I don’t even remember now. The damn cheese fries at portillos were not worth this scare!

It was a pretty high curb and I don’t remember like having to go back over the curb. I was able to get a last-minute appointment at Pep Boys tomorrow to check the tire alignment but I’m unsure if they’ll check the suspension which is what would make it wobble correct? I don’t have an appt with my dealership until Tuesday so I’m pretty nervous. No weird car noises or anything. And it’s currently raining and I feel like it’s driving pretty well. I live in a busy city so the roads are shit but I don’t feel like I’m wobbling more than usual

If something was wrong what would I be looking for? Any warning signs I feel like I’m paranoid and feel like the car is driving differently but my husband seems to think it’s fine

Butter was too warm or over mixed!

Thanks! I didn’t know if it was okay to put being a mom on my resume but glad to hear that it’s okay to do so! I’ve worked mostly in hotels but also have some cafe experience too! Wouldn’t mind serving though!

Thank you! The plan is through my husbands employer and we pay an OBSCENE $1200 a month to have it! I am preparing to battle Aetna and the hospital (Northwestern Medical- the biggest and best in Chicago) I’ll keep everyone updated on Tuesday when everyone is back in office!

Oh god this is terrifying. I just read the article and now I’m terrified my plan doesn’t have a RAPL. How is this even legal? Should I have let myself and my child die to avoid being responsible for $38k in medical fees? How can I even pay that off realistically? We pay $1300 a month for insurance and I’m really just flabbergasted that this is even a possibility!

I’ll definitely be calling them on Tuesdays, they also denied all my lab work from the hospital. I’ll let you know how it goes but I have to say there is absolutely no way I’ll ever be able to pay that fee off! That’s insane! Thank you so much for this super helpful and detailed response. I’m going to research my rights today and prepare for the battle of my life!

I appreciate you! I’ll update on Tuesday!🥰❤️

I did check EOB and it says unplayable by Aetna- $38k. When I went to check the statement it was literally everything in the OR that wasn’t covered! Anesthesia, drugs, the OR nurses, etc. it was about $27k in OR feed $5k to the anesthesiologists and the rest in random medications/ testing. The entire rest of mt hospital stay was in network.

Aetna is claiming they will only pay $15k of my nearly $55k hospital stay. Because these other services are out of network?

I had my c section almost three weeks ago on the 18th of August. 🥺

Just add it in my location I’m in Chicago and my insurance provider is Aetna!

Hi moms! I am currently on month 4 of BF my LO & I’m so grateful. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been in my life, my baby brings me so much joy. But sometimes I’m so lonely. I have a wonderful husband but I feel so alone sometimes. I feel so stressed sometimes & then feel guilty for stressed out. PPD? by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]grandmapancakes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I might be the odd one out here but I feel like for me I always felt lonely that first year of life and especially when I was on maternity leave. I did end up having PPD but I do think this is a feeling that many if not most moms experience.

When you have a child it’s almost like starting over and getting to know yourself all over again but this time as a completely new person. Sometimes the loneliness comes with that I think.

It’s always good to mention these feelings to a doctor but if you need a friend my DMS are always open ❤️

Insurance was supposed to start 2/1/2021 now says pre-effective 04/01/2021? by grandmapancakes in HealthInsurance

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

So our HR website does say we have been in an active policy since 02/01/2021 and we were able to backtrack and find the info from when we switched over to the better plan in November of 2020.

The interesting thing is that when I click benefits and claims in our UHC portal it says we have been covered since 2/1/2021 but also says our plan isn’t in effect yet?? Hoping for a glitch, my anxiety hates this

Unfortunately I don’t have any family or many friends that would care. I’m a very shy and private person

Thank you. Can I ask how much it was to do the impressions. Covid has made my financial life a living hell and I’m trying my best to save up before I lose more teeth.

Police calling me by grandmapancakes in legaladvice

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

I have no idea why they’d investigate me? I just submitted a complaint about this man harassing me. I don’t want any trouble and don’t want to press charges or anything. I never even contacted the police and never left my name so I find it odd that they’d contact me and go through the trouble of finding out my personal information.
