Yes I'm glad it exists. I know what all the parts are, I've been on it. I actually am afraid to go OFF the medical (even though I don't need it, it actually makes my overall coverage worse) because if I DO, I will be penalized for the rest of my life for going back ON.

The majority of my healthcare costs last year were dental and meds. They were over 25 K WITH a buy up plan.

And a TON of digging into free./lower cost options.

But I had been on a (Cadillac) Native American plan before. It wasn't so great, although it is for sure better than nothing. I can keep my part D for I think 8.5 years, but if I DON'T I am in deep do do.

I also made the mistake of going Cigna Cigna because I LOVE Cigna and I figured it would be EASIER to coordinate.

Only, they KNOW about each other, so NOW I CAN'T pretend my work coverage is primary. Well, I can try, but I have a feeling a trip. to my local SS office may be in order. Etc.

Ok I hate it when you see something you have to have no matter how much it costs. I've been wanting a high end mech mod for awhile and couldn't resist when I heard about this. It's a limited edition Foggin Out with the Batman Broadside Brizo mech mod. 3/25. Haven't been able to put it down since I got it. Here's a review of the Brizo.

Ordered some juice today.. I vape plain vg/pg base so nothing fancy... Snagged a liter (1000 ml) of 70/30 3mg base for normal vaping, a 120ml bottle of 70/30 6mg base for my Orion Pod and a couple of empty 120ml bottles... Grand total was like $27.... Should last me about 4 months...

Still procrastinating on the Dicodes 21700 and the Taifun. Not sure I want to drop $500 for them both considering I just dropped over $400 on the Dani Mini Box and the Dvarw. Both are still in stock and my finger keeps hovering over the checkout buttons.....

Have two support answers,you need more nic for fear of the guvmet.

The other of coarse is to buy buy,buy.

shiniest purchase today? 10x...

trying to keep distracted with projects that require minimal outlay
these are for antennas.

We called those roachclips.

I would have to if I hadn't had the good sense to make lousy money when I was working.

Wait . . .

I inherited from my grandparents their restaurant. I'm renting the place, not the operation, and it's about 2k a month. But taxes are exhorbitant. And Oscar has the building where the factory was. We don't really need to work, but work because we want to. And even though, everything has gone bonkers and even that is not enough. Healthcare is expensive.

I figured you must. It's just that you were talking about Part B and then switched to drug coverage.

I actually am afraid to go OFF the medical (even though I don't need it, it actually makes my overall coverage worse) because if I DO, I will be penalized for the rest of my life for going back ON.

Yeah, that's a seriously crappy aspect of it. Plus it's really not the greatest deal. My sister's regular insurance costs about a fifth of my plan.

The majority of my healthcare costs last year were dental and meds.

It's ridiculous dental isn't considered part of general health care. It's well known that neglected teeth can cause a host of systemic problems and even lead to death, but somehow dentistry is treated almost as though it were on par with cosmetic surgery. Some of it is, of course, but I'm pretty sure I'm having a root canal in a few weeks to take care of a painful abscess that could cause me serious harm if left untreated, not to make my smile prettier.

And now I'm the one derailing this important thread. Apologies, shinyites.

 

[Zazie]

Healthcare is expensive.

Agreed.

 

[NolaMel]

done 5 builds in the elevate. still don't get anything decent from it. i had a similar relationship with the intake.

That makes me feel better! I was starting to take it personally

 

[NolaMel]

Someone tell me why the double barrel is so expensive? Because I love efun.top and I have heard "awesome" and also "wretched" so I need to be told why I want/need to buy one. They look cool and indestructible is that it? Are they really?

I have three. All still working perfectly. That pretty much puts them firmly in the “sturdy” category

That happens everywhere. As a diabetic I have to take care of my feet and that is covered while tooth care is not. Ridiculous!

 

[Don29palms]

Healthcare is expensive.

So is health insurance.

 

[Susaz]

Mike having a difficult time reviewing something that is not that good, but El Mono had given rave reviews to his stuff. Awkward vid...

 

[Susaz]

So is health insurance.

Yes, but here many policies were tending to lower healthcare costs. We have public health but they're overcrowded.

 

[Fidola13]

yihi sxmini mi pod

I actually like the look of that yihi pod. It has a round drip tip instead of whatever the odd shape most pods are using nowadays. Plus it’s got the same design finish as the SL Class and of course a yihi chip. All good imo.

Lol! I watched that last night and thought the same.

Most people confuse the difference between healthcare and health insurance.

 

[the wind]

@Walter_Sobchak have you seen this?

How about a flash from the past,just can't remember who the possum reference was for.
Mr neck must have trimmed his beard.

 

[AngeNZ]

3 PM in Buenos Aires! What's the time there?

I'm 10 hours ahead of you Susaz GMT +13 hours

@NolaMel - at least you've taken one RTA off my wish list for now. I'm down to about 15 I want to get

 

[Susaz]

Yes, you use insurance while we have HMOs. Sorry.

 

[Heartsdelight]

Those aren't the tubes I have written down, remember they aren't vaporesso tho; nor were they iridescent.

Have these coming in, said to fit the jk mini.
$3.54 Iwodevape Replacement Glass Tank for Augvape Merlin Mini RTA Atomizer (3-Pack) 3-pack at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Someone on FT threads bought like 4 different bubbles for the Dwarv & he said the one I linked is the only 1 that fit.

Yes the Merlin mini rta bubbles I can confirm do fit the JK mini’s.
