Yep, just remember that with your plan you can pretty much go to whoever you want whenever you want without the need for a referral. Meaning if you want to see a pain specialist, you just call and make an appointment. The only thing you want them to do is confirm that they are "in-network" for your plan. After that, you don't need anything special to see them and don't even have to tell your primary doctor that you are doing it.
Yep.. this is what I love about my wifes insurance: She can go to any damn doctor she wants with no referrals. And, being Federal, there is no 'in network' BS either - If they accept and bill the insurance, they are obligated to accept the amount paid, and no more.. Code of Federal Regulations (ie: its the law :D)

And that's where the problem lies...I have always been nice but I don't know every bodies feelings being "considerate" is a 2 way thing
It's okay. You did not attack anyone, and although you may feel differently about it, if you go back and read through things you'll realize that noone attacked you either.

What Kelli and I did do is make comments about a couple of words that we do not care for, neither of which quoted you or directly said anything to you until you picked it up and took ownership of it.

As for trying to guess in advance what words are going to put some people off, it isn't going to be something that you can predict. In a perfect world it would never be an issue, but in this one we will occaisionally run into these sorts of things and all we can do is point them out and move on.

Hopefully it's a "no harm, no foul" resolution and the subject just becomes a non issue.

Now, all you need to do is pick up a pie and join back in ;)

just had to share my latest triumph with you all....stole the copper conductor wire out of an old coaxial cable that I had in the tool drawer and made a new spring for the fire switch in my vanilla clone....OMG. I have never seen such a huge ass cloud from this mod lol. I must have been losing so much power due to the little sissy spring that came with it! Was going to order the upgrade spring from Vanilla, but they wanted 25 bucks for it....made one for free and OMG!

What a totally fucked up weird day. I've been having Deja Vu most of the day, it's freaked me out. I knew their was going to be an accident at a busy interesction on my way to work, sure enough a pickup smashed into a dumptruck (No injuries thank God). I knew one of the bakers was going to have his cell phone fall into the dough mixer, sure enough it happened. I wish I had the feeling that I'd win the Lotto tonight, bought a ticket just to make sure.:D

Was

Was looking into that too.. Unfortunately, its not available here :(
It isn't available for all groceries, but if you check the Subscribe and Save section (which is a bit difficult to find) you should be able to get anything that you can normally get through Amazon. It all comes delivered by UPS.

The biggest challenge is figuring out how much you'll use each month, but you can put stuff on a schedule that is more than one month between deliveries. And make sure you look at the packaging sizes because sometimes it's cheaper to have a smaller quantity delivered each month than a larger quatity every 2 to 3 months.

Basically the only thing we buy locally anymore is actual food for the people in the family and feeder fish for the turtle ;)

If you were closer I would have run after I said it because I know you could kick my ass and then kick it again when I bounced off the floor :confused:

Lol I realize this...tomorrow I'll have witty comebacks lol
But tomorrow we'll be on to something else and your comebacks won't make any sense because they will have lost their context and then you'll be trying to catch up again and it will just get worse...

But hey, when you catch up to us, don't forget to make my milkshake strawberry :)

Me saying a word not aimed at anyone here and basically being told to shut up are two different things (Yes I see it that way and it is that way)...One was aimed at me...Like I just said In my last post...Theres nothing to worry about now
For fucks sake!! Nobody is telling you to shut up...nobody is telling you what you can or can not say...nobody is telling you anything other than MOVE ON. We try to cheer you up and let you know it's all done and dusted...but you insist on banging on like some chat martyr...stop already please....We like you and want you to have fun in this thread and VU as a whole.

Not if you have a Prime account. Shipping is free for all the subscribe and save items because they are all Prime items.

The link in my post above is directly to the subscribe and save store, but I think that you will see a link for any product to subscribe to it if it is in the "store" even if you are not shopping in there. It's how I found out about.

Comapre the prices of the food you get to the prices on Amazon. We have found it cheaper for us to order it online and have it delivered to our door. We also have Prime and now subscribe to several of our household items like laundry detergent and dryer sheets, etc and get an additional 15% off each month that we have at least 5 subscription items delivered.


That only works if you buy in bulk and have the money to do so. ;)
I can't afford a full case and shipping is only free on orders over $35. Don't need or afford Prime.
Petco has their rewards program where I get 5% back...plus discount coupons are usually around

I only have the one cat and buy one 4lb bag of Solid Gold dry food and about 10-12 3oz cans of Natural Balance Ultra a month. Petco ships off their website too, but it is silly when I live 4 blocks away. Plus, in this neighborhood, the less packages I get the better...if it got stolen or lost in the mail, how'd I feed my cat?

I need the exercise too, I'm just lazy. ;-p

Just thought I'd mention it for when it is cold an icy out there. Sometimes it's better to help keep the UPS folks employed, and now that my back is all screwed up the wife really appreciates some of the stuff we need getting dropped off at the front door.

No worries, I appreciate it. But, if not for groceries and dollar store/petco runs, I'd never leave the apt at all. :D

@CaFF 'Gone Girl' is up ;).. Good reviews


Saw that...but IDK. Dramas ain't really my thing unless it's spy thriller or sci-fi/horror.

Lesse:
Ben Affleck - nope
Rosamund Pike - yummy
Neil Patrick Harris - nope
Tyler Perry - fuck no

Plus, I still have about three other flicks to watch not counting the backlog of TV eps...lol

@CaFF why would you want to stay in your box bro?

Well, lets see.....no car, no money to speak of, likelihood of being stabbed and/or mugged is high and there is nothing around to go to.

Food, coffee, entertainment, news, sports, etc is all right here. I'm a bit of a hermit by nature. :)
But, I have the planet at my fingertips and of course, all you lot to keep me company. ..hehehe.

I do miss walking to thrift stores where I used to live, but nothing like that nearby around here..It's a dead zone.

Thanks. I had tried to read a bit and you helped guide me but I quickly found that the whole Franciscan ideal is much more complicated and intertwined than I could have imagined.

Chat martyr, that'd be a good user title. Will have to request that.
