@GreatNani uhm, what? Insurance companies don't set rates for procedures - providers do that - they don't deny or pay based on how much money they'll make - it's clearly stipulated in the policy what they'll pay for and what they wont. Medical costs being high *can* be blamed on insurance in only one mannor - by letting medical providers get used to being paid in cash instead of in livestock.

1of5 replies on Oct 11, 2019:

@Unclehotrod good luck, it's tough to do. Takes a lot of patience, understanding, and creativity - which still won't guarantee success. One thing I highly recommend is flying out to meet for coffee/lunch fairly quickly. Don't fall into the "it's so far away, we have to spend a couple days together if you come out" trap, or the "let's get to know each other from afar for months then meet when we're more certain about each other because its such a long ways away" mistake. It's still a first meeting, treat it as such. You barely know each other and have no idea if there's chemistry, or if the chemistry will develop - and planning to spend a couple days with someone can and does add pressure to something that's kinda unnerving to begin with. So plan to fly out on whatever day you both call Friday (in the evening so you dont sit in the hotel room all day worrying about how things will go) and *stay in a hotel* - not her spare room or a friends house, meet on Saturday for coffee/lunch or maybe dinner if that's the plan (or maybe add meeting for dinner if lunch/coffee went really well), and then go back to your hotel (alone) and fly out on Sunday late morninish so if things went well on Saturday you have time for a "see you next time" coffee/breakfast, if desired. Think of it as hopefully the first trip of many, not some grand adventure. Hope I made sense there. EDIT: if at all possible spend the money for a direct flight instead of transferring planes for the 1st trip, both to and from. Flying can be stressful enough so bite the bullet and do it the easy way 1st. If things work out you'll be taking enough of the red eyes and connecting flights to last you a lifetime.

1of5 replies on Oct 10, 2019:

@Rob48 *Google play* appears to have the remastered version of *Rubber Soul* and is free if you want to try that one out. Least I think its free. Bluetooth degrades sound but not a whole lot, and if it sounds good with other stuff probably not the issue. I'd think the iTunes store would have a decent version of everything they sell, and would have to think the numbers from the audio file would match the clock speed on thier D/A converter. Hope another version works, and thanks for giving me an excuse to listen to the album today. :)

I think the only reason Pelosi decided to start the proccess is because the actual transgression is easy to understand and hard to spin away to the public at large - the people who normally defend the WH are struggling to do so with weird, insane shit no ones buying anymore. I'm sure her whole calculation is on recapturing the Senate and just letting Trump self destruct on his own. If the house sends articles of impeachment the public grasps and the Senate doesn't convict due to blatent partisanship to stay in power by the Senate, the public backlash may flip the Senate to the dems control in 20. Polling is starting to show trumps chances of reelection keep getting dimmer and dimmer which as this unfolds should only get worse and worse for him, so I'd even speculate she'd prefer the Senate clear him in naked partisanship. Trump would go into the election practically crippled - he should have been removed - and most probably wouldn't win. At worse it flips either the pres or the Senate to dems, at best gives control of all 3 branches to the dems. We shall see what happens. Barring getting hit by a bus before then, of course.

I once subbed at a school for the blind. In one of the high school classes I was in one student of African American descent made a true statement about slavery. A white young man told her to stop talking about slavery. I told him she was accurately giving information. He was clearly upset. I had ...

@MarkiusMahamius everything's an economic issue, really, and slavery wasn't an economic failure. Well, till the cannons started going off. That turned out to be pretty expensive *and* unsustainable. Right wing economic policies, now there's an economic failure.

@St-Sinner everyone is. The checks Congress and the courts are supposed to exert against the exceutive branch - and haven't been for too fucking long now - has created an imbalance of power that's going to be painful and difficult to undue. Now if what comes from this is a constitutional convention that gives us an even better system I'll change my mind, but even with that silver lining of hope this is going to be ugly, messey, expensive on many fronts, and harm a metric shitton of people who shouldn't be hurt.

@bobwjr I get that. Not trying to judge, I'm just fascinated by how people "work". We had very similar reactions to this based on the assumed gender of the poster. My attitude flipped when I saw it was a woman, where yours apparently flipped when you saw it was a friend. So I guess I'm just curious to know if it was because you realized it was a friend, a woman, or both.

@bobwjr I'm not meaning to poke the bear or anything, just curious, as to why you'd chastise a stranger then recant when you found out it was a friend. My initial reaction to the OP was "well there's someone who'll be talking to HR sooner rather than later" when I thought it was a guy posting. When I looked to see who it was and realized it was a woman my reaction went from "creep" to "you be you, girl".

Well, I think I've just ended another friendship over 45. Oh well.

@nogod4me wow, are you ever going in the wrong direction. No wonder you don't get this, because that's not even close to what I'm saying. What I'm saying is simple - you don't have a concept of how much money these people have. Fox can and does tell people with money that the dems are going to tax them into oblivion, while Biden is saying that no, we won't tax you into oblivion, we're going to raise your taxes but we all know you can afford it without changing your lifestyle. This isn't a one way conversation, it's a competing dialogue that needs to be out there.
