You'd have to look at the EOB to see what the deal is. Did the insirer pay some of the bill but not all of ot, or did they not pay a penny? Was this his first medical bill of the year, in which case a big chunk of that $4200 might well be his annual deductible, ans the rest his copay. Say he's got a $2600 deductible for out of network care(not unusual) and then the plan pays 70% of out of network leaving him to pay 30%. If the original bill was $7500 that woud work out to roughly what his bill came to and it could well be legit. Mind you, this probably took him past his out of pocket max on his in-network care hence no bill for his other stuff. There's a very good chance this is his actual responsibility and if he makes a partial payment it likely will keep it from going to collections. He might he able to negotiate a payment plan since the collections agency pays them pennies on the dollar.

I think the reason you don't see it more is barbers generally make ok money and have no need to offer extras...

At some point, some businesses need to realize that a perpetual increase on investment is unsustainable and eventually a steady profit should be the expectation.

I saw John Stamos as emcee and in the course of the show he pulled a male audience member onstage and danced with him, and pretended to kiss him. Was it in this context that he was grabbed?

In previous versions of his ads I got a very YMMV vibe. I think what you get is strongly correlated with how attractive you are. I have not seen him though.

Having reached the age where you can't always trust a fart, I don't go commando in work situations.

I mean, if rabidly antigay people choose to have fewer kids to reduce their risk, sounds like a win-win to me. Fewer people to pass the hate down to, relatively fewer gay kids born in unsupportive families.

I thought it was also hypothesized that maternal testosterone levels, which increase with age, might play a role.

Talk of muscle worship in a massage ad with no mention whatsoever of his massage abilities is the reddest of flags. The masseur is supposed to be putting his hands on YOU, not the other way around. Based on the ad text alone I would not consider him

I find people describing themselves as "musky" a turnoff. It suggests a lack of hygiene...

Good grief. I don't remember anything like that reaction. I remember quite a few black coworkers pissed at the insinuation the jurors acquitted for no reason as opposed to the cops' bungling the case.

WhileI believe he did it, I think I would have felt compelled to acquit based on the cops' handling of the blood sample. They injected reasonable doubt into the case by fucking taking his blood to the crime scene. They were sloppy and possibly actually criminal themselves if they scattered some there.

It's the price that is the rape.

Had my mandatory sexual harassment training. Talking outside of work about wanting to bang a coworker was specifically listed as an example of sexual harassment.

Again, NEW trains are almosr inpossible to put anywhere someone wants them because we ripped up a lot of the old tracks and put up buildings and roads all over then routes. Building a mile of new track might entail buyimg out a couple hundred million worth of real estate and THEN having to tear it down before you've actually built anything. Now multiply that by the number of miles long a route needs to be for it to make sense. These other countries with good systems built the cities around the rails, not the other way around. You can't get there from here. We'd be better off subsidizing bus travel and making it appealing to get more cars off the road.

I'd say yes. He may want to get them biopsied.

If it was 40% of 60 bucks, it was woefully inadequate. If you still only tipped 40% after the escalation, it's going to go one of two ways next time...either he's just really into you and it will continue or you disappointed him monetarily and he's going to dial it back. From your description it's not impossible he's just into you and that's not normally on the agenda.

I walked out of "The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover" after maybe 15 minutes. A naked Ewan Macgregor was the only thing that kept me from walking out of "The Pillow Book."

I mean 39 is middle-aged. "Daddy" was never reserved for senior citizens. Some people marry right out of high school and have grandkids by 40. Plus someone saying they are 39 on the internet is generally assumed to be shaving anywhere from 5 to 35 years...

If it's available that cheaply, I'd gladly pay the out of pocket just to screw over the bloated pharmacy benefit management boondoggle. It blows my mind that employers are still paying a thousand bucks a month for "generic" Prep.

Well it's Easter so that probably makes it harder to get the out of towners.

I mean, that's kind of his market niche. Fine if it's not for you, but clearly he's got a fan base.

I don't care for nail polish on guys, but what turns us on or off is to a fair extent a conditioned response. If when we were 14 hot guys were usually wearing nail polish we'd probably have developed a fetish for it because we were jerking off to them...

For the same reason craigslist had to shut down their personals...the law now imposes severe penalties on platforms for promoting/facilitating sex work.

Most sports governing bodies require hormone therapy as a condition of competing. But the reality is that hormone levels are not the only advantage men have. If it were, steroids would have closed the gap between male and female performance.
