It's not even 11AM and I've racked up two Ls. First, The Joker by The Steve Miller Band started blaring at work, and naturally everyone had to sing along/repeat my name.
:snoop

Later my mom showed up. I had off handedly mentioned I wasn't getting much sleep to her, weeks ago. Well she showed up and gave me a packet of sleepy time tea. Only the front desk people saw her but I'm sure everyone will know the story by the end of the day.

yeah I'll get paid out for my old vacation days which is cool, but in the future it'll just mean that getting sick = losing money

Damn bro.... That sucks balls.

Can the wifey get insurance through the university? We switched to their high deductible with HSA plan this year and so far so good. Then the kid needed stitches and I'm waiting around to find out if we need to file bankruptcy or not. Their regular plans are stupidly expensive but cover quite a bit with low deductibles.

Washing machine's circuit board is busted, to replace it will cost me almost as much as a new washer.

:piss Whirlpool :piss2

Any recommendations for a top-loader for ~$600?

Same thing that happened to my $800 Bosch. They said it was $500 to replace the board. It lasted 1 year and 6 weeks.

Mowed the lawn for the first time this season.  :shaq2

Damn man, what did you end up getting in its place? I went with a front-loading Samsung, cost $700. Also did the 5 year extended warranty plan just in case :gloomy

We were used to paying around $200/paycheck for insurance before, so we kept it about the same. When we switched to the high deductible, it was under $100 for the insurance (I wanna say $65ish?), and we put the remaining $100+ or whatever into the HSA. The amount we put into the HSA over the course of the year plus the amt work puts in for us ends up covering the deductible plus $500.

We'll probably still get fucked over.

My deductible is like $3K and I have no copay option, as in I pay it all out of pocket until I hit my deductible, praying the doctor has mercy on my soul. Once I hit my deductible, I still owe like 20%.

We pay into our HSA to cover as much of the out of pocket expenses as possible, hoping there's something leftover at the end of the year. But kids and ER visits and all that. We would've been golden when it was just the two of us though.

Because its better than the alternative. $750+/paycheck and we'd still have a few grand of out of pocket a year.

I feel like the following is a true struggle

My debit card had a temporary ban placed on it the other day because of "suspicious activity."  Said suspicious activity?  Two charges to porn websites based on Canada  :-\ :-\ :-\

Having to be vague with the bank about those charges = true struggle

Paying for porn = the truest of struggles

Also is a pornsite based on Canada a Canadian themed porn site?  Maple Syrup fetishism is well worth the price of entry.

So I was not aware that L.A. is a stupid ass city where there are multiple of exactly the same address.

So I take uber into the class I'm teaching and put in 1234 Blvd into Uber.

Uber says "there's your building." as we pull up and it's a meat packing plant. I'm like that can't be the place. I show them the website for the class and they're like "Oh! That's 1234 Blvd in El Segundo, you put in 1234 Blvd in Manhattan Beach."

I was expecting it to be like most cities where there's only one 1234 Blvd. So the uber turns around and takes me to where I'm supposed to go.
It came out to $33. No problem.
I took in uber today to the same place and made sure to put in the right city. It came to 4 bucks.

Now I'm going to have to explain to my company how I'm an idiot when they say "You took an uber to the same place and one day it was $33 and the next it was $4. Why?"

They wont care, but they'll laugh and laugh and laugh :snoop

Yeah but in the civilized Nor Cal there's only 1234 Blvd between Sunnyvale, SF, South San fran and San Mateo.

I mean it was literally exactly the same street just 5 miles difference.

My wife's family is ultra mormon. But one of her Uncles is gay and they tolerate him. She has another Uncle that is very supportive of LGBT rights and posts a lot of pro-LGBT stuff Facebook. Yesterday he posted a pic saying "I'm Bi and I support gay rights!"

I mentioned this to someone in my wife's family and said, "Hey, he's come out as bi, good for him."

I got the response, "Oh, I don't think that's what he meant."
