Do we have a thread about medical bills?
There is something about opening up a medical bill and seeing the difference between what you are charged to what you end with after the insurance has paid what they are going to pay.

I have tried to sign both of my daughters(18&23) up for drivers training and non of the schools around here are reliable. It’s taken me years to just get to the point where I had reliable enough cars in order to think about having them learn. And neither one really expressed a ton of interest in learning.

Never. I think it's because you get a notification/email almost instantaneously.

This. I have heard way too many stories from delivery folks about people's violent anger over the ringing of the doorbell or knocking on the door.

Kudos to the coach.
This pic gives me the shivers. I couldn't swim to the surface with a limp body. Another pic I guess the life guard(s) were pulling an Uvalde? Last edited by Edward64 : 06-23-2022 at 08:45 AM. |

Serious question - do they have lifeguards at world championships?

That's actually a lot more common than you would think. The coach is watching just their swimmers, while the lifeguard watches the entire pool, plus the coach is typically closer to the action. With my kids swimming we've had at least 2 occasions when a swimmer needed help, and both times the coach was quicker to react. |

This was artistic swimming, so not racing so not sure how spread out the people in the pool were. Also, since this happened before, I suspect the coach was more likely to anticipate a problem.

I DoorDashed for a bit last year to knock out the last of my car payment...and honestly, I knocked or rang the door bell unless I was told not to. I always acknowledged being told not to as well. Knock or ring, "DoorDash" and I'm out if they asked me to leave it at the door.

re: knocks, rings, etc
My default instructions to deliveries includes "RING BELL, knocks are almost impossible to hear". Whether it's acoustics or the door itself or what, I can't tell you but unless you knock like you're serving a warrant, I ain't gonna hear it aside from standing right beside the door. Alas, the odds of those directions being followed around here are heavily weighted against

The problem with that is this was a solo competition (the team competition is later in the meet). So the Lifeguard should be concentrating on one person.

Not sure where to put this but the 22 nightclub deaths in South Africa is horrifying.
Pics don't show any blood that I saw so not a shooting or with knife. My guess is drugs gone wrong? |

Early speculation was stamped (club was overcrowded apparently) but one official says no, because no obvious injuries/trauma. The latest theory seems to be that the alcohol may have been poisoned/tainted.

Had dinner with my cousin last night. His son is 22. Brilliant. Going to get his masters at UPenn for biochemical engineering or some shit. Gay. Moving to Canada when he finishes his studies because he is basically afraid to live here. The amount of intellectual talent we are going to lose out on from people either leaving or choosing not to come here is going to be crippling. |

I've been joking since the 2016 election that the wife and I were going to take a series of trips to Canada to figure out where we would best like to move by 2030. The reality is, our kids will likely stay in the US and all 4 of our parents are still alive, so it's not likely we can just up and move out of the country. Plus, I'd basically have to be retired because I don't know what's involved with getting a law license in Canada (or how they handle cross-border practice), but I am not interested in it if it requires anything more than paperwork. But man is it tempting.

Yep it is. Hard to do much while I'm flying, even though some guys do commute from Canada, just harder than it needs to be I think. I could see Australia after we retire, but by then, we'll have grandkids and honestly, we won't be far from them wherever they are, so it's really just a thought at this point.

I got to visit my old Navy base in Great Lakes, IL, on Saturday. So much has changed. I recognized the buildings, but there were iconic ones that were gone.
I had a strong desire to go back to an old softball field that I played a ton of ball on when I was stationed there...I wanted to show my wife and kids the field where I played with Will on. Will was my best friend on that base and died in January 2007. They've met his family, but they never met him. The field is no longer used...grass has covered all of the infield. That was kind of sad for me. I still pretended to take throws at first...to grab grounders at short and catch a ball or two in the outfield. Ran the bases that are no longer there. My son pretended to hit a home run there and rounded the bases as well. Maybe the weirdest part was watching my kids run around the training room of my old schoolhouse. I taught many general military classes in that room over the years. 15 years later, my kids are running around it like maniacs.

Just over 1000 applications from a country of 70m - it’s a statistical headline. I would apply if I was eligible as it would make living in Europe possible without any red tape, and travelling to and moving around Europe a bit easier: I imagine the vast majority of applications are for these two reasons.

Watching the Favre - Elway SB and man… I can respect that receivers these days are bigger, faster and freaks of nature but playing the position in those days was just different. Steve Atwater is just running all over the place throwing shoulders and helmets 3 seconds after the catch and every other route would get a holding or PI penalty in todays NFL

Also hot taek alert - Favre would have been out of the league in 3-5 years in todays game. He may have evolved later in his career a bit, but man he was drop back, lock on a receiver and gun it no matter what a hell of a lot.
Counterpoint was his arm was so damn good he could get away with it most of the time, but I’d love to see what social media and advanced stats would say about it all today. |

I know I am supposed to be thankful that my parents are taking an active role in planning and finalizing their interests before they die. The fact is I really am appreciative and overjoyed that they are doing so. But jeez informing me about four different meetings I need to attend regarding things that will happening after you die is a bummer of a way to go into a long weekend.

Not a school shooting, so there is no thread for it. But apparently a mass shooting at a Copenhagen mall this afternoon, details not yet available.
Highly touristy area. My wife and I stayed in a hotel across the highway a few years ago and frequently used the metro station near the mall entrance. On the other side of the hotel, there's an arena where some sort of pop music concert is supposed to take place tonight. A narrow escape we had, though with time travel being logistically impossible despite the valiant efforts of billions of science fiction authors, I doubt we were/are in any danger. That was pre-COVID, of course. Travel in a spacious pepto-bismol pink jet plane (WOW! Airlines) at one-third the normal cost, with an encouraged one-week layover in Iceland, where there are no trees and the sun never sets this time of year (but you need a jacket, because temperatures are in the 40s and 50s). I could see living in Iceland. Fewer shootings than Denmark, no doubt. |
