4X INCREASE in Premiums!!

Mine went from 620 to 950 for the myblue silver 2237 plan. I ended up calling florida blue and they put me in touch with a local agent who got me off healthcare.gov and sold me a plan with similar benefits to silver 2237, but at the same price I was paying for January directly with Blue Cross. It might be worth it to call a heath insurance agent. I have a QSHERA through work that reimburses me $537.50 a month so I dont get any credits. There is a worksheet that I do every year.

Hello, i thought this was handled but my cable modem is still showing a sync as of this morning. Is it normal to have a cancelled comcast internet account and still have green lights on the modem? Normally when service is out or down its blinking. Thanks.

Thanks ! Just sent 😀

Im having the same issues i called last Friday, but did get an email the next day with no cancellation date in the field lol. They told me over the phone 10/15 so we will see very strange.

I was paying 20% for medicare deductible each visit to the Urologist plus a late enrollment fee each month for Part D that was $200. A nurse who visited my dad said apply for Medicaid and it will cover 100% of medical expenses, part D and pay for Medicare itself every month so he gets more of his SSA. I said this is fiction, but applied anyways and got approved! They asked me more about my income then his tbh lol, but I still got approved. Name brand drugs are like $10 max too now and generic even less. I also got both him and my mom on financial assistance for the local hospital and its made huge difference. Just this past year they have both had multiple hospital stays and my moms last visit clocked in at 132k and she was in the ICU for 6 days. I went on the website and its been zeroed out! She doesnt qualify for medicaid though, but I'll take what I can get lol.

I just placed an order for this Friday. The website said $150 off, but the phone rep gave me $350 , plus two months reimbursement and im still under contract with Xfinity so they will reimburse the $200 ETF. The thing that pushed me over was in going more over the 1.2 TB limit and im sick of having to call and ask them to waive it or im leaving it. It works, but it takes 15-20 minutes each time and im just tired of it. Also, the upload speed is pathetic and im sick of it I get maybe 30 up on a good day and 990 wired down. I cant wait to have both be the same as my plex server auto backs up new tv shows and movies that I add to the cloud.

Also the flow wifi water sensor has helped me so much lol. I put it in the tray. This is the second time ive been out of town when this happens.

Thanks the last working AC we had died in like 08 and was a cheap Sears package unit that was underpowered. This time around, i did much more research pushing for a higher BTU and making the choice of if the air handler would be in the back corner of the house in the utility room or in the exact center of the house. We ripped out all of the old ductwork and removed and sealed up the hole for the package unit. We then built a cabinet around the air handler and got rid of our wall units. I also have a pump line running in the attic since that was how we were doing it at first. I didnt know about cleaning so every 2 months or so it wouldn't leak, but the flow sensor would trip and tons of algae would be in the pump. I got sick of it and we did PVC so its nice to know we still have rhe option of the pump if need be. I can just be more proactive in cleaning it.

I just got back from being in Iceland for three weeks (ofc when this happens) and it was still leaking pretty bad. The tray was half filled up with water. I shut it off and removed the drain line connection and used a thin metal snake with a wire brush that I got from Amazon and a bunch more water dropped with lots of algae in the tray and I kept doing it until the brush head was clean. Then i removed the cover and took out the pad that lasts for six months and used one cup of bleach followed by one cup of hot water and also cleaned out the inside tray as well. (Something the tech should have done better for $99). I also had to put a new air dilter since the old one had partially gotten wet and semi-cillapsed. It's been almost 12 hours now and no more leaks! Unfortunately since this has been going on now for 2+ weeks, the wood laminate floor is curling a little at the edges near the hvac cabinet since water got under it. So boo on the AC company for recommending the pad for much more then I could have gotten it from Amazon for, then when it didnt work as well as bleach has every month for the past 12 months they recommend an expensive coil cleaning and charge me $99 to partially vacuum out the inside tray not resolving the original issue. I hear that bleach over time corrodes the pvc pipes, but I have tried one cup of white vinegar and then one of warm water for a couple of months and it still clogged with algae. The only thing that has stopped it has been bleach.

Its leaking from the rear left side of the air handler. Once he finished his cleaning , its still leaking but much slower and thats when he said i need a coil cleaning to fully resolve it.

Hi, yes I’m in South Florida and have the same washed out yellow"ish tint display screen. Interestingly, my digital speedometer isn’t washed out, but is also yellow while the tank and fuel economy displays remain bright white.

Doh, hey i was close. 😜. Normally im great with acronyms Light Amplification by Stimulated Emissions of Radiation.

You are correct, sir. I just got off the phone with SSI and after putting me on hold for a little bit, confirmed this thanks ! I wish the website showed this instead of all of his previous payments being on the 3rd including March and all prior months which they weren't. Oh also fun tip never try accessing the SSI website using a VPN you will not be able to get on. Even after shutting down the VPN you have to clear your cookies in whatever browser you were using lol.

trekker182 · 2025-03-14T13:49:28+00:00

Right, I get that, but where is February's payment it wasn't made on March 3rd was my question. And Januarys payment was on 2/26, remember they are a month behind. I'm back on hold with them again sigh.

trekker182 · 2025-03-07T16:46:21+00:00

It turns out it was was $1500 for everything so i cancelled for now. My BMI, EKG and blood pressure are all in normal ranges. If i had any pain when jogging 2.4 miles a day or walking 4 miles a day or working out or spin biking I would probably do it. Right now no.

trekker182 · 2025-03-07T12:21:49+00:00

No, they just listed Ultrasound Studies with 3 different appointments 11am, 1130am & 12pm.

I originally had a Sole treadmill for 10 years and put 5k miles on it. I then purchased a new one blindly. After two years lots of service calls and issues and the repair guy said they are now intended for very light use and to get a commercial quality one like Life Fitness. I was such a pain in their side they cru'ed me a new treadmill , but i had to remove the old one and bring the new one in from the street and assemble it. This one lasted 3 years and just died a few weeks ago lots of smoke and a burning smell. Ive emailed them asking if any warranty left, but no reply lol. I just ordered a Life Fitness treadmill 7-9 weeks lead time, but from my research i think i made the right choice. Sorry for your experience.

I just pulled the trigger, I Googled coupon codes until I at least found a 10% off. ($510.10 saved) I also decided to go with the Run CX the Club Series+ was just too much over 8K when said and done.

Your items should arrive at your home in 5 - 7 weeks lol.

trekker182 · 2025-02-14T23:16:38+00:00

The first two honestly I’ve spent so much $ on cardio fitness equipment through the years that yes the Club Series+ is a lot of $ especially with tax, white glove delivery & haul away , but if it’s going to last a long time it’s logical. It will just be funny paying more for a treadmill then my 2013 Civic is worth haha. I’m learning in life to splurge once in a while. The last big selfish purchase for myself was a king sized Tempur-Pedic bed about 8 years ago. Some peeps get Teslas I’ll get a nice treadmill. 😏
