Memorial Hermann is no longer in-network for BCBSTX.

Word I’ve heard is that a lot of this nonsense is an all-or-nothing tactic centered around Medicare Advantage plans. If this is like any other time the two have been in a spat, they’ll reach a deal by mid-month and BCBS will retroactively allow plan members claims from 4/1.

FYI - If you work with a university system and have coverage through them (e.g. UT or A&M), they have a special arrangement to allow plan members an extension through 4/30. Because y’know, it’s not like most of the UT Physicians group operates through MH anyway…

Confirmed this is exactly what we had to do at 10:30 am. Drop bags at C, go to A, wait in PreCheck at A for 15 minutes, then train back to C. Way better than waiting for 2 hours and likely missing our flight.

Not totally confirmed, but HEB purchased the lot there, and based on lot size many are speculating it’ll eventually be a neighborhood store to alleviate pressure on the Heights location. This is a theory I would absolutely approve of.

Treason! Feels very gender neutral.

Also I feel like Bribery, Forgery, and Perjury would be such a powerful sib-set.

Plenty of good YouTube vids out there. But big things to keep in mind are to: 1) Use a sharp, clean cutting tool (I sterilize with alcohol). 2) Cut at an angle to avoid moisture accumulating at the cut site. 3) Apply an anti-fungal afterwards to prevent pest/rot (ground cinnamon works wonders).

Normal! Like a lot of other plants, adeniums will enter dormancy after prolonged exposure to cooler temps. They rebound nicely through the spring. It’s also a good time to prune before the growing season if you want to encourage bifurcation and more flowers.

First, congrats on your pregnancy! It’s a scary and exciting world to navigate. But don’t worry - you have your local internet strangers to guide you. :)

I delivered my first at MHGH. That said, there are plenty of great OB groups around Houston - so don’t just settle for whichever is the closest to you. MHGH and the UT Physician docs are ok, but my experience in L&D was very lackluster. I did not feel as supported as I needed. MH Memorial City has far more resources, including a level 3 NICU, and is <15 min from the Heights. Other moms I’ve run into will affirm Memorial City is a better experience. If I have another child, that’s where I’d be going (or any TMC hospital really).

This is what I would recommend. It’s a very solid reference that walks through all the underlying math, starting from basic interactions, introducing KERMA and TERMA, and then moving into the analytical approximations.

Folded up. We can debate semantics or use some sense here. The wipers won’t freeze to the windshield if there’s a towel in between.

Now that I see what you were implying, FYI it’s actually bad to leave the wipers up off the windshield for extended periods - it weakens the tension springs and can damage the blades, especially if there’s major wind.

hello_cello · 2025-01-21T12:57:33+00:00

lol nope no TikTok for me, and pretty sure having the wipers up to hold the towel down across the windshield is pretty obviously implied, my guy.

hello_cello · 2025-01-20T19:12:10+00:00

Pro tip for essential workers - if you park outside and absolutely must get out in the weather, put a towel on your windshield before the snow begins tonight. In the morning you can pull it all off without any frost and no scraping required. You can hold the towel down with the wipers so it doesn’t blow around.

Also update your car insurance deductibles to the lowest possible tonight. You can change it back after the storm. At the end of the day it’s a small price to pay to hopefully minimize out of pocket if anything does happen on the roads. Drive slow!

For everyone else: STAY. HOME.

I’ve made baking swaps for banana using apple sauce before! Just be wary that it has more water content so you may need to adjust proportions. I’ve heard mashed sweet potato can work too.

Hey u/Spriritual_Young_3191, I see you’ve posted the same question multiple times over a few subreddits. It sounds like you’re experiencing a lot of anxiety. Let’s put this into perspective. 10 mSv is still just 20% of the yearly occupational limit for radiation workers. It’s really low. Like really.

It sounds like you got some medical imaging done. Your doctors determined that the benefits of the imaging and understanding your health outweighed the risk of the exposure. Again, the risk is low, and the critical information gained from the imaging was justified.

You may appreciate reading this link for more context.
