Very likely the need for a root canal could have been prevented by finding the cavity early and just getting a filling - obviously a huge savings! I never understood why some people are willing to wait until they have pain before taking care of something sooner - a stitch in time saves nine...

Best to just set up your own reminder on Google Calendar or whatever you use....else access electronically through their phone app or your phone's wallet - lots of ways to do it these days.

Depends on the company - my company awards both longevity with them and the number of lines of insurance, as well as being accident-free, of course! ;)

From a somewhat different perspective, I was married for 13 years after living together for a couple years just out of college. Basically we (or maybe just me!) married because he needed extremely extensive and expensive surgery and because we had the same employer our insurance would pay 100%...

Before you sell, try a month or two strictly using ONE car (and keep track of the Uber ride cost). Be sure to track long enough to include most of your regular activities including hobbies, shopping trips, doctor's appts., etc.

How does a mail order place like Zenni's work in terms of getting a good fit for the frames? I always need at least some adjusting when first trying them on with the lenses and often need to go back again after wearing for a couple days so they don't hurt my ears, for example.

This reminds me of when you lose your parking ticket you 'get' to pay the maximum amount - sorry, no excuses!

Sure, let's reward risk-taking...though....isn't inheriting wealth just the opposite of that? Why don't we encourage each generation to work hard by limiting (NOT eliminating) the transfer of wealth? Risk taking AND hard work are what we want to reward - not basking in generational wealth...

I 'stayed the course' with 80-90% equities up until maybe 4 years before getting ready to retire. Now that I'm on the cusp of making that move I plan to delay SS until age 70 and live on my pension and investments for the interim. I've been accumulating my cash bucket but I really think 5 years...

...and he makes just as many (if not more) references to "light therapy"...: "He refers to this study on the efficacy of light therapy in the treatment of mood disorders, and this study that supports the efficacy of midday bright light therapy for bipolar depression. He then mentions this...

So much judgement attached...get your lady what she wants and if you disagree then either compromise or 'just call the whole thing off'! Kidding, but try not to ascribe too much significance as though her preference looks into her soul somehow. If you're surprised (at the macro level) by what...

5000 IU is not necessarily too high, depending on whether your lab tests show you're low or not. If you're trying to maintain at a certain level (and not make up a deficiency) it's perfectly okay to take a 5000 IU capsule every other day, or however many days a week that will maintain the...

I have a smallish house of 1,600 sq. ft. for me and my SO - 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. There's a full basement but unfinished so not counted in square footage. Nearly all of that space is used by my borderline-hoarder SO for his servers and other hardware. I'd love to toss all that in the...

There are any number of ways - what's key is that credible, good quality studies are undertaken - here are a few ways to test: Temporal Precedence: Ensure that the cause precedes the effect in time. This can often be established through longitudinal studies or time-series analysis. Control for...

Is it not known to be causal or has it actually been shown to NOT be causal - important difference to keep in mind since there's a lot of things that haven't been adequately researched that we need to be cautious of.

You're right, no squat racks or benches but they do have Smith machines that are safer. I don't think too many on here are really into powerlifting anyway - we all just want to avoid sarcopenia and stay active for as long as possible.

Hyundai has a new agreement with Tesla about using their chargers and those with Ioniq 5's and 6's (maybe some other models) are said to be getting free adapters from Hyundai in Q1 - that'll open up a lot of possibilities for public charging. So glad I just got my Ioniq 6 - a gorgeous red...

What sounds good to me about this is that using the wam lotion almost sounds like a luxury spa treatment! I might just do that when I need a little pampering...

I don't like the messiness of bar soap and prefer liquid soap - it's also more moisturizing. My only use for bar soap (like Irish Spring) is to grate it or use a vegetable peeler on it so I can scatter it outside around plants I don't want the rabbits to get into.

Definitely look into a whole house humidifier for your furnace that can keep the humidity at 25% or so (even when it's 0 degrees out). It makes a huge difference in the feel of the air such that it feels warmer, all else being equal and also keeps your skin/nose from getting quite so dried out...

Still write down my grocery shopping list on paper as well as the order of the errands I'm running...and use post-its as reminders but along with notes/appts. in Google calendar (kind of like a belt + suspenders thing). Just got a car with my first ever back-up camera (as well as blind spot...

Interesting...and it is obviously a different genre but I'm researching paramedical tattoos - specifically tattooing my thyroidectomy scar so it is less obvious. When I had my thyroid removed at the age of 30 the surgeon proudly said they'd placed it in a position on my neck so that by age 50...

Ribeyes are my favorite due to fantastic flavor. They are tender, but not TOO tender. That's why I really don't care nearly as much for filets (mignon). I have a feeling that A5 Wagyu would be almost like eating a stick of butter, albeit one that tastes like steak? I think it'd just be too...

OP - your example is truly magnificent - and a great illustration of what can be achieved with a combination of AI and nuanced direction guiding it. I'll say that in my limited attempts at getting an illustration of my recent chats and guiding it to show me as a "60 year old woman with dark...

I have a 'summer' and 'winter' car - the summer car is sporty and the winter car has snow tires that can't/shouldn't be driven if the temp is over 50 degrees. So whichever car I'm not driving is on a trickle charger for basically 6 months of the year.
