It seems great to be able to go to a building that has a ton of doctors but it is the biggest pain in the rear end ever, you need a referal for EVERYTHING. You literally cannot get a cold checked out without going to ten doctors first. This is my experience with literally every insurance company I've ever had. What do you recommend as another option? I have Anthem right now.

If you don't know the answer to this question please do not guess. Are all-beef and/or kosher hot dogs made in the same way that standard hot dogs are made, with mechanically seperated meat and flavorings, etc?

All my OKCupid matches are hideous subhuman buttertrolls. Not trying to be overly shallow, but I do have standards. All the questions and matching stuff seems based on personality, how do I avoid getting these nasties?

RaoulDuke12 posted:This is my experience with literally every insurance company I've ever had. What do you recommend as another option? I have Anthem right now. As I stated earlier, I have Anthem now and my wife has Golden Rule. With both of us if we need to go to the doctor, we go. She was able to see a Gastroenterologist without so much as thinking about seeing a general practitioner first. With Kaiser she would have had to jump thru several hoops. That would be a very basic explanation of PPO vs HMO. Clarification: How does a PPO plan work? With a PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) plan, you'll be encouraged to use the insurance company's network of preferred doctors and hospitals. These healthcare providers have been contracted to provide services to you at a discounted rate. You will not be required to choose a primary care physician (like you would with an HMO plan) but you should be proactive in only seeing providers within the network to avoid extra out of pocket expense. You will probably have an annual deductible to pay before the insurance company starts covering your medical bills. You may also have a co-payment for certain services or be required to cover a certain percentage of the total charges for your medical bills. With a PPO plan, services rendered by an out-of-network provider will ultimately cost you extra out of pocket expenses. We cannot stress enough the importance of staying within the network to minimize your medical premium dollars spent. How does an HMO plan work? An HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) plan provides rich benefits. They offer lower out-of-pocket healthcare expenses. They offer less flexibility in the choice of providers than other health insurance plans. You will be required to choose a primary care physician (PCP) when you apply for an HMO plan. You will be required to visit your PCP if and when you need medical attention. If you need to see a specialist, you will need to be referred by your PCP. You may have no coverage provided for services rendered by non-network providers or for services rendered without a proper referral from your PCP.

Does everyone's nose crack? Pushing it side to side, it makes very audible cracks every time. I can feel something shifting, and sometimes my nose stays off-center until pushed back into place. I can crack just above the tip and under the nose between the nostrils. I tried Google, and some sites said this is normal, whereas others said it was not. What piqued my curiosity is a friend was recently, well, assaulted, and she now has a lump that cracks when she touches it. It never cracked before. My nose has done this as long as I remember, and when I was 6 I was pulled down a flight of stairs headfirst by a dog and face-planted into a cement paving stone. I'm genuinely curious now.

Re: Noses Not everyone's nose does that. I've got a buddy who loves to gross us out by popping his nose side to side. I don't think it's quite normal, but it's certainly not terribly odd. Re: Dating If it's stupid and/or small, you can ask here. If you want to get into a discussion about it, E/N. I don't really think there's any other place that would qualify.

Last night I hooked up with a cute friend of hers. Hot girl will most likely find out about this very soon. Have I just blown my chances of getting with the hot girl? Maybe. There's no telling, everybody's different. She may be put off, or she may be intrigued by your pursuing other options, or she may be a Romanian spy. That's why "do girls do this do girls do that" questions are a little silly; the answer is always "maybe, depends on the person". My own question: I was watching through Curb Your Enthusiasm, and came across the part where one character ends up giving another character a kidney. This got me curious as to how insurance handles a situation like that. Obviously the kidney recipient will have his surgery covered by his insurance, but would the donor have his kidney extraction covered by his insurance or maybe the donor's? It seems like the donor's insurance would view the surgery as elective and non-necessary, and it would be a real stretch for the recipient's insurance to cover the donor.

Abel Wingnut posted:Banking question. Thanks for the responses guys. Now I have a related question. Do I need to have the full amount in my account at the moment the check is deposited on Saturday, or would it be ok if I put the necessary amount in cash on Tuesday or Wednesday? I'm in a jam and don't know how check processing works and desperately don't want this check to bounce.

I don't. I guess what I'm talking about is this: 1. Click on your profile picture. It should take you to your gallery of all of your profile pictures. 2. Click on one of the pictures in that gallery. 3. There used to be an option, when viewing that picture, to "Make profile picture." I don't see that anymore with this new image viewing interface they have.

Nah nah, it may have not been rolled out to you yet. Facebook has this new photo interface. This is what it looks like when I select an individual photo:  Click here for the full 1041x934 image. As you can see, the option to "Make profile picture" is now gone!

Abel Wingnut posted:Thanks for the responses guys. As someone who floated hundreds of checks in his early 20s, I've developed a bit of a niche for this scenario. If the bank is closed on Monday (it is on Columbus day), they will not process the check until Tuesday. Due to the new banking laws, as long as you have deposited cash on that day, the check will not bounce, as they have to credit cash deposits and transfers immediately, rather than tack them on after the withdrawals. Do it Tuesday though, don't wait until Wednesday. To be honest, as long as the guy depositing the check doesn't have the same bank as you, you might even have a few extra days to come up with the funds until the check gets processed through your bank. But I would error on the side of caution and get it in there ASAP. Who's your bank? B of A lets you deposit cash into their ATMs, and as long as it's in by 8pm, it gets credited that same day.

Charles Schwab, which has no banking branches within hundreds of miles of NYC. It's going to take a combination of wiring money from Wachovia as well. I think I can do that tomorrow. My only worry is the check being deposited on Saturday. And given all of these responses, I should be fine. Oh, and the depositor uses Chase. Not sure if that matters or not. Thanks, everyone. Being unemployed blows.

Yeah, what's the tournament for? because 19 or 20 people, you're going to have like 10 teams that have a 1st round bye, so if you can't rank them you're kind of in trouble.

Abel Wingnut posted:... If the depositor is at another bank you are in much better shape. This is not a guarantee but this is how it works (if they deposited it on Saturday) Tuesday night- All weekend+holiday+Tuesday deposits are processed at depositor bank. Tuesday/wed- Check is digitally transmitted to your bank for clearing. Wed night- Check is debited from your account. That is about as fast as it can possibly happen when dealing with two different banks.

Do a standard bracket, but either have the "best" participant get a bye, or the two "worst" participants play for spot #18. Or if you have 20 participants like you indicated you may, just do a standard bracket. Draw names out of a hat to match up.

I received a ticket voucher from Continental this summer because I gave up my seat on an overbooked flight. I'm planning a trip to Europe next year and would like to know if I can use it on international flights. From what I gather, it's like a coupon so I would assume that I'm allowed to use it but I don't know since it looks like I have to purchase the ticket to see.
