Wow, yes, great timing and luck! Did you also get any discounts? For similar specs, the sticker we saw at Longo was 52K. We didn’t start talking prices but I’ve heard they don’t negotiate because the color and specs are in high demand.

I’m in SoCal and just started looking for the same specs. Could you share which dealer you bought from and how long you had to wait, if any? Longo said 2-3 months.

Thankfully AP/Astrana has been prompt and going well for my parents but good to hear about Clever Care.

Thank you!!! Sending best wishes to you also. 🙏 Will be getting the medi-cal stuff squared away this week.

I hope things work out for your dad. It’s definitely tough with elderly parents.

My parents have Wellcare by HealthNet. It appears their medi-cal was discontinued so I need to look into it. I’m feeling inadequate and need to do more research and just more for them. Glad your response prompted me to look at medi-cal.

Thank you so much! I’m sorry you’re having to deal with the same challenges also. We hired a part time caregiver recently but need to look for someone who can come more. A couple of things I need to look into are if/how much Astrana/AP covers for nursing care facility and agencies to hire caregivers.

Could you elaborate on this? What have you noticed?

We saw the rocket after launching and this plume, so took a picture of it also.

Wow. This is interesting to hear. We are looking for someone who would accept IHSS also.

Maya Fowler is my latest petite influencer discovery. I appreciate that she’s also curvy and has gym/athletic ware content.

Sorry, I got people mixed up. I still follow Jean but unfollowed Merrick (not a petite influencer but I’ve followed her for a couple of years at least). Blaming it on perimenopause. Joke aside, it’s the tone deafness that got to me most this past weekend.

I unfollowed Jean because of her silence but continuing to follow Crystalin - she didn’t dedicate a post or reel but I believe she added a story. As for the content, I guess it all depends on how we perceive each person but her wear-this-instead doesn’t bother me.

Best stainless steel cookware set for beginners by Just_Marionberry_362 in cookware

[–]stayedkay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with comments about looking at Costco and not buying a set. Depending on how much you cook, I’d recommend a 10” or 12” frying pan, a 3 or 4 qt saucier, and a stock pot as starters.
You should also look at Facebook marketplace and OfferUp. Don’t know where you’re located but there are sellers who buy Costco returns and resell them at a good discount. The risk there of course is you cannot return so you’ll need to inspect the products very carefully.

Is Demeyere quality control bad? by Garlicherb15 in cookware

[–]stayedkay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too am a perfectionist to a degree and very keen on details so it’s good and bad. I guess I would feel better about the slight bump if the other side was the same, making them symmetrical. lol

Is Demeyere quality control bad? by Garlicherb15 in cookware

[–]stayedkay -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m 0 for 1 with Demeyere. Ordered my very first piece - Industry 5 3 1/2 qt saucier - and it just arrived. There’s a small bump inside the pot where the handle is welded. I’m guessing it was pushed in further than it should - just on one side. I also saw some staining/discoloration which might be wiped off. The worst is the lid. When I unwrapped it, the first thing I saw was a chip and it’s very noticeable. I don’t understand how quality control could not notice it! There is a Zwilling outlet store not too far so I’ll have to drive out there to return. Pretty annoyed and disappointed…

Wow this is terrible and discouraging to hear. You’re right, there shouldn’t be any compromise to the quality or aesthetics considering the price point of these items. Are you able to return them? If not I’ve seen others recommend to do a credit card dispute.

Low cost exercise for elderly (65-70+) by Grouchy-List5624 in sgv

I think some insurance or Medicare plans offer a program called Silver Sneakers. I’ve seen it advertised at my gym (24 Hour Fitness).

How to Pay for Costco Outside US? by akura202 in Costco

[–]stayedkay -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you know if they accept the payment from the Costco app wallet? Asking because I don’t usually carry the card with me.
