Reply to LPT: A lot of people don’t know this but if you have a Costco membership, they offer car insurance that has unbeatable prices. by ninaunst
They recently stopped accepting new applicants in California. Members with the insurance are grandfathered in, but if you don’t already have it, it’s no longer an option here.

Insurance agent here:
It’s gonna be different for everyone. Different companies have different appetites for what they want to insure, meaning different rates. I’m with State Farm because they’re the cheapest for me but my buddy is with Progressive because it’s cheaper than State Farm for him.
Bottom line is shop around. You never know until you do.

"You're job hunting" means "you are job hunting." Better adjust your AI.

That was my after-insurance cost ($12k). The $40k-$50k was pre-insurance.

Please also don’t mention it to people with existing children. I have 1 child and cannot have anymore and get asked all the time when we’re having #2. Never. It’s very painful to get this question asked by complete strangers all the time.
Just don’t ask people about their fertility.

Also a lawyer, not PI though, and I would recommend everyone have at least $250k/$250k.

Key thing is after insurance. It really depends on the hospital and the company, But your probably right. Apparently a CT scan in the ER alone costs 6k.

Reply to LPT Request: For people who work at a desk or sit in chairs for most of the day, what are some things we can do to prevent our bodies (and mind) from deteriorating over time from sitting in a chair and staring at a computer. by threespeaks
When I worked in an office building I would park far from the building so I had to walk more. I would use the stairs instead of the elevator. I would also go outside and take a walk during my lunch break, sometimes eating while I walked.

Anyway the point of that kind of letters is to introduce yourself, what would you think about people who are too lazy to even introduce themselves by their own?

My sister always told me she didn’t want to have kids so I was shocked when she and her husband announced her pregnancy. Granted she told me this in college and I never asked her again lol. Anyway I’m a very happy uncle now.

Reply to LPT: Keep an old glove in your car and wear it when you fill up with gas. It's better to keep the gas smell on the glove and not on your hand. by Couldbeaccurate
To be honest, I've been pumping my own gas for many years and I couldn't tell you the last time I got gas on my hands. I do, however, like your idea of keeping gloves in the car in case something breaks and needs to be worked on.

In America, $8k would be a low figure too lol. I think we paid $12k and the original bill was $40-50k. This is pre-COVID so I imagine it is worse now.

It wasn't appropriate to ask in the 50's either but people will do what they do.

The basic human behavior tips are so strange to me.

LPT don't be invasively nosey.

If they want to tell you more they will.

As someone that’s going to be a dad soon, after 7 years of IVF. I will never ask someone why they aren’t having kids. It was tough when I would tell someone I was married, and their first question was “so when are the kids coming” or “why don’t you have kids yet?” And it was hard explaining that having kids naturally is almost impossible for some of us and it’s not that easy to talk about.

Did I say you need better FRIENDS, or you need to cut off contact with your family?

>My 34 year old sister has been single the majority of her adult life and for the past five years has been very firm on not wanting children.
If she only started the whole "I don't want children" thing when she was 29 and was single most of her life, it does sound like a bit of a cope. "It's ok that I'm pushing 30, not married, and never had a real relationship, I never wanted kids anyways!"

Reply to LPT Request: How can I improve my ability to talk to others and be more extroverted? by Somo_99
Practice on friends and family. Use visualization techniques to see yourself successfully talking with strangers. Start small and work up to bigger and bigger conversations. Relax and have fun with it. Before long people won't be able to shut you up.

You are probably past the point where full coverage makes sense for that car.
