Chris- Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Ya boi is going abroad for the first time. My girlfriend and I are celebrating our anniversary tomorrow, and I'm surprising her with a trip to Europe. We'll be spending two days in Amsterdam, travel through Cologne on the way to Heidelberg, spend a night there, then spend two days in the Swiss Alps, then two days in Paris. I'm super excited; I almost studied abroad when I was in school but ended up not being able to afford it. I booked through Contiki, and accommodations + airfare ended up being $3,500 for the both of us, which seems reasonable enough (and even if it isn't, I'm willing to pay a premium for the convenience of one-shop booking). Now I just have to hope no ISIS cells decide to go live the first week of September! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marioandsonic Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 ...so...in case you thought this day wasn't fun enough, my parents gave me an update on my brother's situation. Long story short, he's been dealing with drugs for well over 5 years now, and has been in and out of jail and rehab multiple times. On Saturday, we all staged in intervention to try and get him into rehab one more time, and he ultimately agreed. When they brought him there, the treatment center said he was exhibiting psychiatric symptoms, and they were not equipped to take him in that state. He was sent to a hospital emergency room, where he had to be held for at least 72 hours. They let him out earlier today...but he still refused to go to treatment. And since he's not allowed back home because he's made my parents' lives a liven hell for so long, the hospital just released him out into the streets. All he has with him now is a bag of clothes and a small amount of cash. No phone or wallet. ...I feel like he's going to end up dead in the streets somewhere. Fuck everything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marioandsonic Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 So, update on my brother: he came to his senses (or at least enough) to finally get into rehab. He's on his way there now. Thank fuck. At least he's not on the streets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris- Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Is there any legal precedent/history for lawsuits concerning out-of-network insurance coverage? I just got an email that my company heath plan is in a dispute with the biggest health network in the region (UPMC), and thus they will not accept my insurance at this time, and it got me wondering...Let's say I went to a UPMC facility, stiffed them on their insane bill, and it ultimately ended up in court. Given that I have insurance that would be willing to pay on my behalf, on what grounds could UPMC win a personal judgment against me? UPMC is the unwilling participant in the arrangement, not myself or my insurance. I'd be curious if there is any case law on the subject.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Just thought I'd share this - it's an interview my dad gave for Trinidad television on the 60th anniversary of the founding of British West Indian Airways (BWIA). He was one of the original pilots hired for the airline in 1949 and he flew for them for 33 years. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
