  1. Neither China nor Russia want a war either.
  2. I'm talking about you in your job. Why don't you suggest to your employer that all employees salary be cut so the cost of goods and services is lower? All of those other people who had their pay cut also saw their employer drop the cost of the products to reflect the lower wages, right?
  3. Why shouldn't she write a book? Isn't that just walking through the open door? We all would do it if we were in a similar circumstance. More power to this lady. We don't know her situation but she said Zimmerman was violent and quick tempered. I think we all know that is probably true. Doesn't matter. She deserves to profit from the lot life gave her. I sure would.
  4. I wonder if everyone here is willing to have their salary cut by 10% so their employer would be able to cut the cost of their goods and services. That would lower the cost of everything in society. If raising the wages increases all costs, then lowering wages would have the opposite effect. So why not just lower everyone's wages?
  5. There is no WW III resulting from Syria. This is just hysteria.
  6. Why quit working and give up the tax free HSA money available to you? If you can "make it work" with you not working, then "make it work" by paying the deductibles and save all that HSA money. This is how the health insurance plans work and after the Wellstar meetings last week, I now understand how to use the plan for my benefit. By merely paying the deductibles out of pocket at the lower cash rate, my husband and I will have more than $125,000 tax free money for us at retirement. Not a bad deal for just 20 years.
  7. ObamaCare has nothing to do with this change in health plans. This is something that companies have been doing for a very long time because it is a cost saving move for them. Wellstar sets aside money to cover its employees and the non-covered family members. It should not be up to Wellstar to subsidize your employer's health plan with you being on Wellstar's plan and not your own employer. You will no longer be allowed to pay a "penalty" and be on the Wellstar plan if your employer offers a plan. If it is found that an employee adds the spouse, and the spouse has an employer plan, that is
  8. Wellstar is not dropping spouses from the health plan if the spouse is covered under their own employer's plan. For spouses who do not have the option of enrolling in their own employer's plan, those spouses may still be retained on the Wellstar Family Plan. If a spouse has an employer plan, then the spouse has to enroll in that plan. It is not the place of Wellstar to subsidize the health plans of other employers. Wellstar takes care of its employees and family members without access to insurance coverage. This is nothing new and companies have been doing this or many years to help with costs
  9. Let's just see whose "predictions" come to pass. If all these people forecasting Obama is the anti-Christ and WW III is around the corner are wrong, maybe those people need to be ignored from now on. Why? Because they are just saying things that are flat out wrong.
  10. If your wife says she has not been told, she is either lying or you are lying. Every employee has had the new plan explained to them and there have already been several informational meetings, with many more coming up. If your wife wants to learn more, all she has to do is ask her manager to explain it, or go to one of the many scheduled meetings. It is not Wellstar's place to subsidize your employer's plan. If you don't like the plan your employer provides, look for another job.
  11. That is not accurate. Wellstar is no longer subsidizing other employers. If a spouse's employer offers insurance, that person needs to be on that company's plan. If the spouse's company is not offering a plan, the spouse is still covered under the family plan.
  12. Sometimes you can find cheap air fare to smaller market towns like Savannah or Charleston. I flew to Ashville last year for $79 one way.
  13. What about those crazy Pentecostals who don't wear makeup or pants, even when on the beach? Those scare the Bar Jesus out of me too.
  14. All beer tastes like what I imagine pee would taste like. Gross.
  15. We bought one last year. The first was the Cloud but didn't like it. Exchanged it for a different one. Didn't like it either. Finally got the top of the line Luxe with the adjustable Ergo Premier. Love it. Can't imagine ever going back to one of the cheaper knock offs or a Heavenly Bed.
  16. Your proctologist called. They found your head. Now everyone can ignore the ramblings of the above buffoon and he will just get tired and go away like all trolls do.
  17. I am going to call bs on this. If the father is working, the employer is reporting income and doing the withholding. The IRS knows if there is income no matter what they claim. If she is not working, there is no income for her to report for herself. What the father reports has nothing to do with her if they ain't married.
  18. You're just rude. I agree with you but you're just rude in how you say it.
  19. Go to your GP. The first test will be an ultra sound to make sure there are no stones. If that is negative, the next step is to just wait and see if this was a temporary flare up. After that there is the HIDA scan that measures the gall bladders ability to function. The next step after that is to schedule an outpatient surgery. It is usually routine and maybe a week to 10 days recovery at the most. Don't delay it. The pain you're having could be something else, something serious, something minor, or nothing at all. Go to your GP.
  20. Competition for us but every woman should do this. It's about your life!
  21. I think you and managers under you all make than your husbands. I'm just guessing and hope I'm not out of line.
  22. In my right mind. My family and I would decide the time and place. We would have a great meal and some time for talking. I would pick my music, meal and everything else. After we've all said our goodbyes, I would have a few people I want with me. The doctor would then come in and for a physician assisted suicide. That's how I want to go. No suffering. No pain. No pointless expense. When I've finished what I believe my useful course to be, I chose to die with dignity and with my own blessing.
  23. What does the Homeowners Association say? How is it stipulated in the Covenants?
