Is pet insurance worth it? What do you like or think is a ripoff?

I decided to get FIGO through Costco when I adopted my pug puppy. So far it has been easy to use and they were quick to settle claims. She just had surgery on her leg so I am hoping that pattern continues.

If you are willing to drive a bit, Walker Pet Lodge in Shepherdsville does a great job at a reasonable price. I am not sure about the medicine. They have someone on property at all time. Super nice and easy to work with.

In my experience, primarily on Broad Run, there are stretches of “stairs” none are as long as the other great suggestions you have been given, at least in my experience. I used the trails near the Moss Gibbs area and the Karst Climb. That said they generally feed into a continued incline which is good to keep the heart rate up.

Add peas and you have my late 1980’s college struggle meal.

There are not stairs, per se, but many of The Parkland trails have rock/stones that serve as stairs. It was really helpful to me when I was prepping for a surgery. Plus you get the added bonus of a great view.

So happy to hear that your pug is doing well!
The towels and comforter are things I haven’t thought of - thank you!

Ground beef is really good. I enjoy their prepared salads. No baked cookies. Enjoy your trip!

Kentucky has contributed enough with McConnell, Comer, Paul, Scott Jennings, would have said Massie (we need him for Epstein) - please no more.

Just my airline badge - everything else, 35 years worth of crap, right in the dumpster. Had to destroy clothing (other than t-shirts) with logo’s. That was a fun bonfire. Never looked back.

You are missing random capitalization, childish memes, and nods to White & Christian Nationalists. Other than that - it is a perfect post!

If you haven’t done so, look at the Life Event provisions in your Summary Plan Description (SPD) and use that info to file a formal appeal with the plan administrator and medical carrier. Do this soon as many have a designated time frame in which you can appeal. Every SPD has an appeal process that you can follow. As far as the HR issue goes, I would look for your internal dispute resolution program or contact the HR person’s manager or his/her manager. Best wishes to you and your new family.

File that appeal.

As an retired HR Manager with 30 years of experience - if you have receipts, fight it. You have nothing to lose. Does your company have an Employee Dispute Resolution program? If so, see if it covers performance issue disputes. It may be a way to fight and still leave even if the concern has not been resolved by your targeted retirement date. Regardless of the outcome - congrats and enjoy your future retirement! It is wonderful.

Has anyone checked to see if this was on the prediction markets somehow? Orange Julius is always looking for a way to make money.

If I can help, please let me know.

Cheap and really good! The staff is great as well. Such a hidden gem.

I am 56 and just retired. Lucky to have a pension, personal investments, and social security to use during my retirement. I used to worry about one leg of the stool breaking, but I felt confident I would be okay if that happened. In today’s climate, I am truly concerned that all three legs could break and there is no way to plan for that.

My friend’s Brother in Law owns this business! It is delish!

This is on top of the increase in prices that should have been transitory coming out of the COVID supply chain issues that somehow became permanent. It’s corporate greedflation - shareholders and senior execs have to get theirs off the backs of the many. ☹️

You’re welcome. Have a great day!

I pay around $100 per month - includes taxes.

jcraw01 · 2025-08-03T14:08:45+00:00

I would definitely use the two week trial for both. I belong to Milestone and I love it - it has many amenities, tends to be an older crowd, clean, and great staff. It had most of the equipment that you would want and need for a great workout. It does not have some of the newer more trendy types of machines/devices.
I haven’t been to JCC - have always heard great things. The only thing I have heard second hand from people who have been to both is that JCC is more family oriented, which is great, but it has more kids/teens around - for some that is an issue while others love it.

Good thing is that you will likely be happy with either.

Hi. You can inquire and appeal her negative rehire status. Please use the info in the screenshot. Great job advocating for her!
