Boo. I've been so broke the past few months that I haven't been able to do much with my friends this summer. Just found out they all booked a camp site for a few weekends from now. I wanted to go but they are at max cap already. Another weekend alone by myself.

Weight chat: I was 6'2" and 145# from approximately 13 until I turned 30. I ate (drank) pretty much whatever I wanted, however much I wanted and would never gain weight. At some point after my 30th birthday, I started gaining weight. I got up to 250# before I even realized it. I'm 38 now and hover in the 195 - 205 range pretty consistently. Losing weight is a real challenge (I'd like to get down to 175-185 range). My extra weight is pretty evenly distributed, so you'd never know I needed to lose weight - I don't have a gut or excess flab in any one spot.

That's a subpar weld and I would be on the phone with the manufacturer and/or the store that sold it IOwnCalculus posted:I now get why people hate millennials. I think this officially makes me old but I don't care. This resonated with me because I had almost the *same*exact*scenario with a boomer a few months ago (not the pokemon part but 50-60 year old adults acting like idiots in public). It's like my generation (X'ers) made the same exact mistakes that our grandparents made raising the boomers. And now we're trapped between two generations of insanity. (play me a violin, it's my turn to be the victim  )

I apologize if it was my comment that started weight chat. In an effort to change subject I am roasting a chicken for tea.  Also I just started reading the long cosmos this morning, I think that's the last Pratchett I haven't read, that makes me sad.

I'm the only financially independent one of the bunch. wakeup call progress! I keep telling my daughter, currently 14, that she needs to expect to move out at 18, but realistically, I'm betting she won't be out for a while unless she suddenly grow some independence glands or something. I hope it's not because I'm a bad parent. On being fat, I'm 6'2", 287 lbs. Down from 295 earlier in the year, which is OK, I guess. I don't drink enough for that to make a huge difference. My problem is I really like food, and work in (sedentary) IT. Targeting about 215, given my (wide) bone structure. I ain't never been small. Will be 47 in September. At least I haven't hardly gained in the last 5-10 years. Just hovered right below 300 all that time. Elmnt80 posted:Holy poo poo there is one thing I definately hate about working at a parts store. On average, once every month or two we get some chick insaying their boyfried damaged or removed some component on their vehicle. Normally it is something simple like a gas cap or a broken mirror. This months was a lady whose "soon to be ex" in her words took her radiator cap and put it in her dryer. She had run all the coolant out of her radiator, so I filled it, bled the system and threw the new cap on. Hopefully she doesn't have more damage, but its a dodge v6 and that rad was bone dry. Well, it's probably something along the lines of "you think you don't need me?

The marginal-for-the-house-size AC in my home is not keeping up with 102F. Got a 5000BTU (I think? Way bigger than needed for a 10x12 room) window unit in the bedroom, though. 75F nights make for better sleeps. According to my Nest, AC's been running... a lot. 10 hours is the least it's run, after the rain last week. 12-14 hours is more usual. Leaky 50-year-old house, too-small AC, may need a charge...

The only real reason I keep paying for dental insurance is for the negotiated prices on the services, because yea, the coverage itself is pretty poo poo. Eye insurance is the same way.

I have a tooth at the back of my mouth that is slowly disintegrating due to a cavity, and I can't save it because a root canal would still mean $2000 in expenses for me. I'm going to have to go with an extraction, not looking forward to it

Ugh, that sucks. Not quite as bad -but in a similar vein: I go to a periodontist 3-4 times a year. For the past...4 years. Usually about $130 out of pocket a visit. Add any extra services and it just balloons. And some old fillings are breaking down, so..here comes some more work on top of that! hooray! Insurance is awesome!

Even worse, the Dentist simply shrugs and says "Here, apply for this CareCredit credit card that will charge you 28-34% annual interest if you don't pay it off in the first 12 months!"

Yeah, the interest rate on CareCredit is loving close to usurious (t.b.f., though, so are most credit cards that aren't exclusively for the wealthy that don't actually need credit cards, but I digress). That being said, I'm really happy that I have mine. I've always been able to pay it off before the year is up, my vet takes it as well, and just having it and keeping it below 25% utilization at any given time has massively helped my credit rating (which means getting a root canal actually helped me buy a house...).

Is that an annual limit or lifetime? $3500 annually is very generous for a dental policy, I've never had one that covers more than $1500/year and that includes a two year stint working at HP - so it's not like my entire employment history has been with companies that offer lovely benefits.

Annual. You're basically prepaying your bi-annual cleanings and x-rays, in exchange for a significant discount on anything else up to the annual limit. Same with most eyecare plans.

Still haven't received my Nest from Reliant, but I'd probably have a stroke if I did see how much it was running. It's a 2.5 ton unit for a 752 sq ft (advertised, it measures out to a bit bigger) apt, so if anything I'd think it would have been on the big side. Leaky ~35 year old apartment with mouse poo poo for insulation. Thank gently caress it's a relatively new a/c - maintenance said it's only about 5 years old.
