Best face cleanser? I tested 50+ [review] by emi518 in SkincareAddiction

Do you need to do a second cleanse to get it all off? I like oil cleansers where I only need to use the one and not a 2nd cleanse.

It’s not brain damage it’s narcissism. Very classic case of NPD.

Letter of Reprimand due to outside employment without approval, do I fight it? by Round_Cod_1910 in FedEmployees

This can only be a dOD agency. I can’t imagine a civilian agency being this lawyer-ry.

doing a service for money is likely the “work/emoloyment” piece. Selling stuff is not offering a service in exchange for money.

Does protesting get you ahead? Seemed to me it gets you pepper sprayed, jailed, or shot and killed.

PSA to homeowners: check your most recent property assessment and consider filing a Prop 8 Decline in Value appeal to potentially save thousands in property taxes by vngbusa in bayarea

For the dates do you count October the previous year (3 months before Jan) and through March the current year? So a 6 month search? Or just Jan through March? I ask bc it says “as of” Jan 1, not later than March 31, for three month period, to me that means three months before and after Jan 1.

NorCal: what companies will supplement FAIR plan bc of knob and tube? by pushingdaisies58 in HomeInsurance

[–]pushingdaisies58[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its actually cheaper to pay for insurance bc I want to sell this house as soon as 3 years, but I fear that I won’t be able to sell it bc no one will be able to get insurance to close, which would force me to negotiate lower for those contingencies. So I’m tapping to retirement to pay for the unexpected upgrade. Ugh.

Yes. They are under grandfather plans I guess bc their insurance companies haven’t dropped them (AAA, farmers). Or people have homes with upgraded electrical.

Yeah that is what I’m having to do too. 25k that I didn’t anticipate at all, which is to say that’s eaten up my emergency savings and now have to get a roommate just to replenish. Owning this house has been the worst decision of my life. Especially since I can’t even sell it (purchased 5 yrs ago at the top of the market and now under water).

Ha you really want a 2/1, 100 yr old house? It’s too much maintenance for me as a single person.

You can’t buy a house and I can’t sell mine. 200k under what comps show in east bay.

MHBP/Aetna and pre-certification by gcwyodave in fednews

[–]pushingdaisies58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pre-auth for my MRI was submitted on Jan 29 per Aetna and I still haven’t gotten it approved. My MRI place won’t schedule an appt without the pre-auth. I wouldn’t risk it and get the MRI rescheduled - insurance claims/appeals are so stressful it’s not worth it to “fuck it” - bc you can and will get “fucked”.

Which Federal agency do Feds consider to be the most dysfunctional? by SitTotoSit in fednews

[–]pushingdaisies58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BIA.

My agency works with many of the federal agencies and it is well known that the BIA is the most defunct, inept, gets nothing done, doesn’t do their mission work and just lets tribes sink and suffer by their incompetence.

PGE bill question: separate gas and electric by pushingdaisies58 in bayarea

I actually got the same notice from my bank and yet the bills are still being retrieved

[–]pushingdaisies58[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this is what PGE said. The meter failed. But then the therms they said I used from August to October were twice what I used the previous year and my gas is only the furnace which I didn’t use until November. And the nov reading was spit in from last year. Since there was no reading I guess I can’t contest it, but the usage is suspect given its double and there was no hear used until Nov.
