  1. The husband still works remotely, only coming in a couple times a month. Honestly? He prefers it that way. The entire team does. There are several new fathers on the team that juggle watching kids while working, and some moms with special needs kids that require care. Ultimately working remotely saves both him and his employer money. When called into the office, most of it is completely pointless, and no actual work gets done. He gets especially annoyed when he's trying to work in the open office and the rest of the co-workers are loudly goofing off, so he can't concentrate. Or they are constantly interrupting him working. Being at home allows him a quiet space to work. If his employer went back to office work, I'm very sure most of the guys would quit or would have severe problems finding adequate childcare.
  2. Travel insurance is not really useful for a person immigrating to a new country. Basically any plan you get will be null and void 24-48hrs after landing, because you are not visiting, you are immigrating. The only useful part is if you are concerned with loss of baggage or life in the event of a crash during the trip or if there is something valuable like electronics to cover (which is usually a separate policy). Temporary part time medical insurances or temporary short term medical insurances marketed towards new immigrants are also not particularly useful. Their coverage is not ACA compliant and do not expect it to provide anything remotely near what your employer's plan would provide. The best plan would be to obtain an SSN for the fiancee shortly after arriving, marry as soon as possible, and then add your new spouse to your work plan.
  3. This whole thing has been rumored for a while, but for the life of me I wish the complaint in the case would make better sense? We've got a 'den mother dance captain' person that has been known in some circles as a very problematic individual and she is discriminating and aggressively harassing some of the girls because of their sexual history. But then we go to strip clubs and other sexual behavior that this woman seems to be encouraging 'her girls' to do all while proselytizing? Confusing. Lizzo seems to back up the dance captain's behavior, at least with long schedules and strip club trips but I'm not sure I'm seeing what else is the problem except for bullying/diva behavior (which is not new allegations about this gal). Weight shaming claim seems odd, coming from a performer that usually uses plus size dancers, a rarity in the business and loves to flaunt it herself. Well Lizzo has generally been proud of it. Her crew is overweight but can spend hours dancing on stage, so they still have some kind of fitness. I don't necessarily understand it either, as I prefer tasteful clothing for any size, but I would say it is good that she has promoted fitness gear and other items for large women. Afterall if big girls are being told they need to exercise, they can't do it in paper sacks. And she has lost a good deal of weight herself. But yeah I see a lot of ladies just rolling out of bed wearing 'clothes' that do not fit them at all. On the flip side I don't understand the ladies that get all dressed up and make an effort, but the guys they are with look like they just were spat out from a tornado.
  4. There's a couple reasons why I'm sharing this story. You see, I've been down the rabbit hole these past few weeks, when a relative received a mysterious package they didn't order in the mail. Inside were very expired, very tampered looking COVID test kits. I was very alarmed, so me and a few tech buddies got together and did some digging as to just who these scumbags were. Turns out the feds have been working cases like this for a while now. It's not always immediately noticeable to an individual that has Medicare if they have been/their plan has been charged for fraudulent devices. I immediately set to work tracing back months of Medicare billing to see if I could find the fraudulent charges. Not so, because a lot of EOBs and lists of charges are usually running several months behind. A call over to the OIG and federal Medicare fraud investigators, and they could see the charges from back in May, the exact timeframe when many of these packages started showing up over the US. They immediately flagged and created a case file, and unfortunately my relative's info has been compromised (the government is still investigating where and cannot comment yet) and they will have to issue them new cards/numbers. If you have any elderly relatives, or are a recipient of Medicare yourself be on the lookout for any unusual charges and or packages coming to your house. There are extensive news articles online addressing these instances from different states. I must stress in some cases many of these scams are using phishing or phone calls into tricking individuals into giving them their info - but this is a somewhat new tactic, the recipient of the fraudulent goods is unaware of anything coming to their home and never requested it.
