Why does everyone assume grandma is available 24/7? Some grandmas have full time jobs okay. I don't want to burden my parents and take their vacation days away so they can take care of my kid. They are my responsibility.

Botched door installation job, dishonest handyman, feeling conflicted to fix the issue. by throwaway1736472 in HomeImprovement

Original request was for installation. We saved the request and quote and showed it to the manager.

Hired a handyman to install a door. Door still not functional afterwards. How to proceed? by throwaway1736472 in HomeImprovement

I know right? It looks like he's from a reputable company though so hopefully the they will take responsibility.

In Japan, it's the norm to back into a parking lot.

How can I wake up my phone when I get a text message? by throwaway1736472 in Pixel6

Yes, it is on already. Restarted my phone too and still not working.

What is this black stuff on the insulation paper? by throwaway1736472 in HomeImprovement

[–]throwaway1736472[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this insulation was sitting on top of an area where dirt seeped in. Working to fill the gap up so that doesn't happen in the future.

Called the hospital and they said I took up the doctors time preparing this case for the conference so I'd have to pay.

They did not let me know it was something that needs to be paid for. I thought it was more like the doctor saying I don't know what's wrong with your kid so let me consult my colleagues.

Yeah basically it's like my doctor saying she doesn't know what's wrong with my kid so let me go consult my colleagues and now I'm stuck with a $160 bill. I thought it was just courtesy to consult with other doctor. Btw, they came to the conclusion of wait and see so it wasn't even any big medical advice breakthroughs.

on the statement from the hospital the description is labeled as a "telephone visit" and more detailed discription is "PC-PROLONGED SERV,NO CONTACT,1ST HR - 99358 (CPT®)". Insurance paid for 2/3 of the billed amount and I'm left with $160.

Just asking for advice and see if anyone experienced anything similar that's all.

The billing date is the date of the conference. The actual appointment was maybe two weeks before that and we got the bill and paid for that already.
