I am a grad student at GT and went to their in-house dental clinic, which informed me it would cost me $2400 for a dental crown (before insurance) which I cannot afford. I have the United HealthCare Student Resources plan which sucks ( covers max $500). Does anyone know of other clinics which have cheaper options and would accept my insurance?
I have the GT student insurance (United Healthcare Student Resources) and I can go anywhere in the metro area. I went to Tech dentistry today and while the doctors and staff were great, I was told it would cost me almost $2400 for each crown. I am a grad student and definitely cannot afford this, would really appreciate any leads!
I (25M) have been living in the US for the past 2 years for my PhD. Around 5 months ago, I started dating a white American girl (28F) and we get along very well and connect on many levels. I understand this is still a new relationship and we are taking things slow and enjoying the time we spend with each other. I have always tried to be as transparent with my parents as possible. They have known I have had girlfriends since I was 16. My mother in particular really does not approve of this relationship. She does not like the fact she is white and older than me, she does not like me posting pictures of us on Instagram and she did not like that I introduced her to my cousins and their partners when we went on a trip together.
I’m trying very hard to make her understand I’m very conscious in making my decisions about this relationship and her passing judgement on everything I do just because she doesn’t agree on it, makes me want to cut her off entirely from my life. She has literally had no conversation with my partner and asks next to no questions about us. I am not sure how to navigate this uncomfortable situation with my mom. Ranting but would also appreciate comments/thoughts.
I had made a post before about buying the discover 2 and I went ahead and pulled the trigger! Got it from my local bike shop and it’s been a breeze. Got 30+ miles in and it’s an absolute joy to ride. Having a really good time with it!
I went to the NFR show in Atlanta on the 28th, amazing experience. Bought a black shirt in size M, put it on and realised it’s really baggy. I’m looking for a size S. Anyone willing to trade? The back has the tour dates.
There is a summer sale on velotric's website for $300 off on the discover 2 and I just received a code for an additional $100 (for 48h only), bringing my pretax price to $1599. I went to my LBS and tested out the bike and they said they would price match the website but not any other codes, and said I could come in and get free servicing in the first year and other maintenance perks. I am worried that when the sale expires (which is in 3 hours) the LBS would go back to the regular $1999 price and I also lost out on this limited time online deal.
I had this pen way back when it came out and lost it. Looking to get a new/used one. Been trying to find it on eBay but there seems to be a bunch of sketchy ones from China. If you have a used one, I would like to see some proof of authentication (receipt, etc).
I just traded a big card (Giratina V alt art) in my collection for a bunch of sealed ascended heroes product. My buddy pictured here was recording me open the packs and I was getting nothing (just EXs and trainer SRs). The last four packs were from 2 pack blisters and he just knocked it out of the park. He has no clue about Pokemon or anything but was just enjoying how excited I was lol.
I have been seeing this woman for a couple months, we have only been sexually active with each other. Have had sex multiple times both protected and otherwise. She would often describe feeling itchy after having sex with me, but it would subside pretty soon. I was doing okay. Recently, I had some sores which I thought were friction burn tears and were getting pretty painful. I got an entire panel of tests which all came out negative. When the sores weren't healing, I got a swab and it turned out to be HSV2.
She is asymptomatic and is going to get a blood test, but it's unclear to either of us how this happened. I am immunocompromised due to Crohn's disease and so I'm thinking I got it from her or I just had it before and it didn't show.
I got my positive test and diagnosis a few hours ago and nothing is making sense. I have been seeing my girlfriend since February and she had reported feeling itchy spots after having sex with me. I was doing completely okay. We both got tested and it was negative. We are in an open relationship, and while I was travelling for an extended period of time she met and was intimate a woman who we later got to know was HSV2 positive. My girlfriend tells me no genital contact was made and I have no reason to think she’s lying. After I came back, we started having sex and she mentioned feeling itchy again and this time I noticed some painful red ‘tears’ on my foreskin. I thought these were friction burns and figured they’d subside on their own. So I did get tested (no swab) and everything came out negative. However the sores weren’t healing and getting increasingly painful, so I went in to see another doctor who did swabs and gave me antiviral medication. I got my positive results and I was absolutely not expecting it. I’m wondering if my partner lied to me. If she is negative and I’m positive, then did I have it before her and somehow it was activated? There’s just too many questions and I feel like I’m all over the place. She is currently feeling fine but I’ve asked her to get tested ASAP.
Pistons have been replaced to because of the known oil burning issue. This would be my first car and I’m unsure if it’s a good deal. What are the main things to look out for when inspecting the car? It’s been maintained really well with regular oil changes and inspections. Is it a good deal? I’m trying to negotiate down to 6k, but I don’t think they’ll agree.
You’re a G, I cracked up so hard 😂
I haven't seen the car in-person but the current offer stands at 6.5k. I looked at the carfax report and it says the car was in a severe accident in 2009, but since then has been fine and serviced regularly. This would be my first car and I'm thinking I'll bring a mechanic with me to take a look at it, but I was wondering if this is a fair price?
I wanted something to rep my city with. Personally I love the fact that the area code is 404, and something related to that would be dope. I saw Nike had Air Maxes which were Atlanta themed but they didn't speak to me that much. I would like to support local artists and creators, so please share any cool designs or products!
Its been about two months since I (25M) recently started dating a girl (27F) and it's been going pretty well. I'm currently a PhD student so I don't make a lot (~37k) and she has a regular job (~80k). I usually pay for all our dates and but she occasionally pitches in for things here and there. She also has a car and I don't (planning on getting one soon though), so we use her vehicle which she pays gas for. I buy her gifts occasionally which aren't crazy expensive, but they add up. I don't think I've gotten anything from her yet. I feel like I am investing a lot more financially into this relationship which is putting some strain on me, and I am not sure how to bring this up to her. We are quite open about money, and I see a future with this woman which is why so far I have been okay paying for her, but I would like a more equitable distribution going forth. Any advice on how to navigate this conversation from folks who have gone through this?
