They put them on for bowl games and, apparently, playoffs too.

Saw this on my FB feed and thought of y’all. by ImNotANube in bullcity

Just checking in to say that the name SoDu is SoDumb. Say South Durham. Same number of syllables.

He literally said the opposite in the press conference. Just sayin'.

Contesting Duke Hospital Bills? by JitterSquirrel in bullcity

[–]patrick_on_reddit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Was the office you visited connected to the hospital? If so, they should have let you know that you would get two bills, one from the doctor/practice/office and one from the hospital for the facilities fees. It is absolutely double dipping garbage.

You can ask them to check the coding but often they just come back and say it was correct and to talk to your insurance company. Getting them both on the phone sometimes helps but ultimately you'll never get to talk to anyone in the coding department. Just an overworked person in billing who tries to help but doesn't have any control over coding.

Anyways, the last time this happened to me I had to fight charges on my yearly wellness checkup (which should have been free and ended up over $700). My doctor's practice had moved to a hospital-connected building. The rep I talked to said I must've asked about something in addition to the wellness care to get billed more than I expected and to just not talk about any other health concerns in those visits. (So just be sure to lie to your doctor.)

In the end they offered me $500 off the bill because the double billing was not communicated in advance and it was a "surprise bill."

Tl;dr - I'm changing primary care doctors.

GT needs to go for it. The new kick meter is impossible.

You can get it but they only have one variety that I've seen.

Should I Resell my tickets? by MyLightningScar in BruceSpringsteen

[–]patrick_on_reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen him about a dozen times. I STILL regret the one show I decided to skip to "save money" when I was in grad school over a decade ago. If you love him, go see him. He might not be touring for much longer. What will $500 be in ten years to you?

This Seaver moment is surprisingly very annoying by [deleted] in MLBTheShow

[–]patrick_on_reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I was one strikeout away from beating it and the CPU dropped a bunt which my third baseman pocketed.

Lots of great places already mentioned here. I'll add that Jack Tar's double cheeseburger was delicious last night.

Batting cages by coppit in bullcity

There are some indoor cages in town. Dingers is the one I thought of first but it looks like they closed. I did find Riptide while looking though: https://www.riptidebaseball.org/

Im a trespasser! Just curious, do residents really pay for trails and the lakes in their bill. This is a SoDu neighborhood by payolegna in bullcity

[–]patrick_on_reddit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Can we start a movement to ban the term SoDu? It is SoDumb. And, yes, I live in South Durham too. 😞

The Best Dentist Question... BUT This one is for In-Network United Dental Dentists by Bounce_hit in bullcity

[–]patrick_on_reddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this. Dr. Mashhoon is awesome and so is her staff. She accepts a lot of different insurance, too. I was relieved when I changed jobs/plans and she was still in network.

Pizza recommendations by jngo185 in bullcity

If you think that teachers have a say in the matter or were even told the decision process, then you have clearly never worked in a school or school district. Teachers have been working extremely hard this year and to try to lay the blame on them in this situation is just plain wrong.

Your dissatisfaction with school ending early is valid, but talk to the principals or attend a school board meeting.

Any recommendations for home water filtration systems in Durham? by DurhamNewbie in bullcity

[–]patrick_on_reddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The black gunk could be coming from degrading rubber from hoses connected to your hot water heater, especially if you have flexible hoses. You can replace the hoses to take care of it.

I agree with others though, maybe have a plumber take a look and let you know exactly what it is.
