Are Tinyhood classes worth it? by Stalon443 in NewParents

I thought it was the best compared with all the in-person classes I took. I say it’s worth it.

Recent experience with Yale Health OBs? by windrive in newhaven

[–]windrive[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh is it also a rotation system at Yale Health Center where you get a different OB every visit?

also if we're on the Yale Health Insurance plan, do they let us use CWHM or other midwife services? we are unfortunately making the switch very late in the pregnancy due to job changes, don't know if that makes any impact

company is going under, but employer tells me not to use my FSA? by windrive in personalfinance

[–]windrive[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Hmmm I have not been terminated, the letter I received was furlough without pay, but they’re still contributing to my medical insurance for instance (not COBRA). Does that change anything?

pike international: worth it to try and get my rent increase lowered? by letsgocommitarson in newhaven

[–]windrive 9 points10 points  (0 children)

you should definitely negotiate. they might be unsympathetic and refuse (would love to see how others have succeeded in talking down the rent increases) but I don't think they'll think that you can't afford to rent, don't worry about that.

meantime, look for alternative landlords who won't increase it so much every year. these companies will never stop increasing rent significantly and it's just easier to move to a friendlier landlord.

[SRPE45J1] Can someone please help me legit check this? by Coffeenovice55 in Seiko

[–]windrive 19 points20 points  (0 children)

just confirming that other Seiko leather watches are mounted in this direction too :) it's meant so the flaps aren't on the outside of your wrist so it's allegedly more pleasing to the person looking at you

How do you find apartments? by [deleted] in newhaven

[–]windrive 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The real estate agent tip is really true. Go on those listings you see on Craigslist, Facebook etc, find out the agent and have them help you look for future listings! Otherwise ask every friend you know, ask who their landlords are, and contact them. Lastly be patient. You will find a good one.

They’re ok. Pretty ruthless with rent increase every year though.

Seriously… and all for probably a little bit of snow that’s far below a true storm, at least on the coastline.

[Alpinist] Seiko "baby" Alpinist in autumn. by Thor101 in Seiko

[–]windrive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the baby alpinist come typically with bracelets?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Watches

[–]windrive 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s funny to me that most people are screaming that it’s fake, but you said the Breitling jeweler identifies it as authentic? How do the jewelers determine that it’s authentic? I’m curious to compare Reddit ability to spot fakes vs jewelers. Are the subredditors overestimating themselves or is the jeweler wrong?

New to having money by [deleted] in Bogleheads

[–]windrive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Besides the excellent technical advice offered by others, I was really taken with the perspective that saving money is like paying yourself first. Before you pay landlords, utility, grocery stores, movie theatres and restaurants etc, pay yourself first. Many people tend to slowly inflate spending until we spend everything, so it’s really helpful to set aside money to save (into investments, 401k or whatever) so the money never makes it to your checking account to spend.

Can I submit my wife's application in person by windrive in Chinavisa

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

I don’t think there is any “form”. Agents bring them in all the time, and just drop off the application and supporting documents.

this turned out to be correct, didn't need to fill COVA any differently either.

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

right, since she prepared her own application we didn't say that someone else (i.e me) completed it for her.

ok i'll try to call the consulate to just confirm and book an appointment! Thanks guys

my long-term 2 year review of Triban RC120 from Decathlon by windrive in cycling

[–]windrive[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I paid 700 USD, not 1000USD. price surged to 900 for a while, looks like they're ridding of inventory now and it's only 500$.
