Yea, it's wild without any type of benefit. Unfortunately, our first round of IVF failed and we decided to give it a shot with a second round (harvest during ice storm '21 -- pure stress). Even with our 2 rounds, it was cheaper than our good friend's cost of 1 round (~$30/40K).
What we have isn't the whole regimen, but it would definitely help (about $7-10K worth).
I'm not sure if this needs to be moved to another forum or what, so feel free to do what you will mods.
My wife (and I - pics only of me) recently did IVF. Thankfully, all worked out well as our son was born this past month. We were fortunate to have benefits that covered IVF treatment but know that others do not necessarily have that option. We have a few of the drugs left over including an IUI shot, so if anyone is considering IVF or IUI and would like to save some $$ on drugs, PM me.
I'm curious if there is anyone in here that holds a FACHE certification. If so, have you found it beneficial to your career progression? Any distinguishable advantages you drew from it? I meet most, if not all, of the requirements to pursue it but I'm trying to determine if the juice is worth the squeeze..
Got a baby coming in 3 weeks. I plan to spend my PTO making bolognese (pasta, meatballs, lasagna, ziti, etc), chili, gumbo, king ranch casserole, any other decent casseroles I can find. Gonna BBQ some primals and vac seal too.
Or at least that's my grand plan until I'm taking naps every 2 hours like the niño
Rectec sucks as a grill. It maxes out at 500* and the heat conductivity is just really poor. As a smoker, it's okay. You have the set it and forget aspect but the smoke flavor isn't there, even with tubes. I was looking at a Lonestar Grillz insulated cabinet but that's some serious coin ($5K for what I wanted). The Kamado seems like something that won't get me shot by my wife.
I have a 22" WSM, Weber spirit gas, Ooni Pro, and Rectec 700. I'm thinking about selling my Rectec and getting a Kamado Joe Classic III and Fireboard Drive 2 (for both WSM and KJ). Talk me out of it it.
Apparently Slorch's boyfriend doesn't mind the smell of his taint.
I played golf in some Puma mostly-poly blend today (another Costco purchase) and it just trapped in the sweat and was close to giving me a rash. I've gone the ExOfficio route and those stretched out in about 4 months. I don't quite know what I'm looking for but maybe commando is on the table....or I'll be a grab bag of boxer briefs and do a trial run with a bunch of brands.
3 year bump. I'm in the market again I don't mind my Kirkland brand as every day wear but I need something that is more summer and/or work out friendly as my ball stench/swamp ass gets otherworldly at times. I also must have a power stance when I take a dump bc the elastic waistband gets blown out after 6-10 months. Any new recs? Must haves: 1. Comfort (No crowding) 2. Breathability 3. Durability
AC service guy said one capacitor is reading 50% and wanted to replace. Does anyone know how long a capacitor at 50% will last (months? Years?)? What is a reliable source to buy the capacitors from? TIA
I don't know if this is like hopping in an XBox thread asking about the latest Playstation....but does anyone have Tonal or have any experience with it?
Headed to Jackson next week but staying in Driggs. Any other recs other than those outlined within? Any of those places not make it due to COVID? We have a 4 year old so we won't be doing anything too strenuous.
https://rosewoodblock.com/ FYI, they were resistant to cnc the longhorn bc of trademark, so I sent them a separate non-trademark that their machine couldn't work with. From there, it became a battle of wills
I have an investment property being sold in the near term - said property is an apartment complex that I was part of a syndication deal. I've kind of lost my appetite for this syndication stuff, so I'm considering using the profits to fund an improvement project at my primary residence. I understand the rules with "like-kind" are fairly lax, but I'm wondering if I'm risking pretty big financial consequences by not completely understanding 1031. Is anyone aware if this would be of significant concern? If I needed to obtain a consult of some type - would it be a real estate agent (residential or commercial?) or CPA?
If it is of significance, the home project it would be funding is a backyard oasis.
Good option. My only concern is there's only about a quarter in clearance between the sprinkler pipe and pool drain pipe. Should I be concern if they contact each other?
