Krispy Kareem posted:No, cruises won't allow you to bring your own booze. Like, they search your bags for bottles of Scope mouthwash with the cap already opened and the contents replaced with vodka. There's a whole market in fake bottles to slip past gate agents and even those get caught regularly according to a friend who has tried it multiple times. I was allowed to bring booze on an Antarctica cruise, but that trip is so BWM that the cruise operator didn't care. They even charged like normal city prices for booze at the bar!

Solice Kirsk posted:Sounds like the market is ripe for the invention of an alcohol in solid form, that becomes liquid in the presence of ice and Diet Coke, that can be formed into the shape of a deflated beach ball. Why has no one thought of this before? Like a fruit-rollup, but made of rum.

If they search your bags, sex toys filled with alcohol. Nobody is going to touch those to see if there's a cap that comes off.

silence_kit posted:I've never been on a cruise, but I suspect that's like asking if you are allowed to bring your own popcorn and snacks to the movie theatre. You're allowed to bring one bottle of wine per person for free on most lines, which is to let people actually have good wine vs the cheap poo poo they have onboard.

My two coworkers are talking about taking their kids to the doctor. One of them is trying to convince the other one to take their 3-year old to a chiropractor. She says it has done wonders for her kid's sleeping and performance on schoolwork (???). The other one seems skeptical and is trying not to diss the choice, but is finding different reasons why she is reluctant to to take her own kids there. The pro-chiropractor for toddlers co-worker complained that our insurance doesn't cover her guy and that it costs about $450 per visit. The skeptical one has jumped on that and started going "Man, sounds great, but I don't know that we can afford that. That is bullshit that our insurance won't pay for a doctor. Oh well." Other co-worker responds, "Well, yeah. If insurance paid for it, then he would put the rest of the medical industry out of business. Also, you get what you pay for, ya know? I value my kid's health and I don't want to cheap out on it. He wouldn't be able to charge that much if it didn't work."

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:BWM IRL: I just got back from a coffee shop where two men, one middle aged and one young, were openly colluding on some kind of sports gambling scheme involving bitcoin and IP blockers and making numerous ten dollar bets to hide something from the bookies. If anybody knows more about gambling I'd love to hear speculation about what the hell they were trying to pull. Seems like they are trying to anonymously and artificially inflate the odds for a big payout.

Solice Kirsk posted:So serious question here. How many people would be interested in doing a sort of BWM themed "Advice" book where we all take a specific chapter (investing, day trading, mortgages, etc) and write just the worst ideas we have about them and try to get it published by a reputable publisher under a pen name? Make sure you work in how to build up your TRUCK EQUITY.

I just looked into this recently because I was involved in an internet slap-fight but it turns out some insurance (including medicare) DOES cover chiropractic for evidence based interventions (chiefly low back spinal manipulations for chronic lower back pain). Weirdly, they do not cover any interventions for chiropractors to treat ADD? I can't fathom why that would be?

This may or may not be a legitimate thing, but it still sounds funny to me. My boss has joined the conversation about medical care for your kids and says that she had to go out of network to go to a doctor that specializes in "Pediatric Sports Medicine" to get her 6-year old daughter's ankle looked after she bruised it during tumbling practice.

GWM are well-spoken professionals who realize helicopter parents only want reassurance that their child is going to be OK, and then open boutique clinics focused on meeting this demand.

I don't know if this even counts as BWM anymore, but pro-chiropractic mom is now telling us nightmare stories about the modern medical industry. Apparently, she has missed work 4 times in the last two months because of doctor's appointments. She says that she has a gluten allergy, but no doctor or allergist will confirm it for her and she has to go back and keep arguing with them to diagnose her. I don't think you even get any benefits or legal protections from being officially diagnosed with a gluten allergy, so I don't know what her end goal is here or why she is wasting all of this time and money. Also, I'm not a medical professional, but she says that she developed her gluten allergy at age 35 after she gave birth and I am 99.9% sure that is not how it works.

I know a person who mistook diabetes for gluten sensitivity. Probably because we hear so much about gluten sensitivity these days, so anyone who feels ill after eating assumes it was the gluten.

She says that she has terrible stomach pain and vomiting from anything with gluten and she was only able to cure it by going gluten-free. She says she never had an issue with gluten allergies until the day she came from the hospital after giving birth.

therobit posted:Since non-celiac gluten sensitivity is made up bullshit it is probably not how it works. Non celiac enteropathy is very much a thing, however. A lot of people with NCE or celiac will refer to it as an allergy for simplicity's sake or when unsure of literacy, rather than get into the details of "well I had this biopsy and blah blah blah," because it's tiresome and private. In general: don't worry about what someone else is eating unless you are feeding them or they are your child. Someone in your office going on and on about their medical problems? End the conversation. This isn't hard.
