Good day y'all, I hope you're well.

Listen, I tried my absolute best to get this Yellow Fever Vaccination. Where I am, the shot is at least $500 and I just can't afford it right now. I tried many many insurances, health insurance, Co-Insurances, and none of them really cover for it, and reasonable so, because this vaccine is a travel vaccine (luxury) and I don't have any yellow fever either (so I can't really meet the pre-existing quota to qualify to get the vaccine for free of charge through any health insurance) but I need it because I am headed off to Brazil soon, and I will be in Manaus. I really need this vaccine.

Has anyone had any recent experience with this vaccine at the airport into Brazil as a foreigner TO Brazil? Meaning you went to Brazil as either an American or Canadian, or anyone else other than Brazilian and you experienced anything as far as Border agents stopping you or requiring you to show proof of Yellow Fever Vaccination? Obviously, you might be saying, "Well you should not be scared of paperwork rather you should be scared of the disease itself and get vaccinated anyway," I hear you, but I heard that you can get the Yellow Fever Vaccination for free once you enter Brazil and attend one of their care units for FREE. Is that true? If so, then please let me know how I can tell the border agents that I would like to get the YF vaccination in Brazil or even at the Brazilian Airports, I just need to know how to go about it because other people whom I will be talking with may misunderstand me as I am not totally fluent in Brazilian Portuguese, I do have a good translator, but I need to know exactly how to address that I do not have the Yellow Fever Vaccination and that I would like to get the vaccination at the airports or at least inside Brazil at a care facility. How do I or rather, how should I go about this? Please please let me know if you've recently experienced something like this. I would greatly greatly and greatly appreciate it

Hi y'all. I hope you had a good day.

I wanted to ask you all if it's too late to enter into a Health Insurance Plan, especially into PPO, United Health Care, or in Blue Cross Blue Shield? I know that there is something something about enrollment period in each year, but is it too late for May? Can I still enroll in PPO, United Health Care, or in Blue Cross Blue Shield? Please let me know the good news, fingers crossed! And let me know the bad news. And just for the record, I did do my research and spoke with some sales rep but they were unsure and the research would always lead me to the websites FAQs among which this exact question was not a thing. So please let me know kindly, I really appreciate you reading this and trying to help me!

Hi y'all, a random guy here. 27 years old, male, 5 feet 9.5 and 155 lbs.

I recently moved into Dallas, Texas, from New York, I was already working with an ENT specialist back in New York and he told me that I need to get a sinus flush asap. My right side of face has a lot of congestion and it feels like I may lose my hearing, it makes different sounds when I chew, yawn, or swallow or even when I lift something normal or heavy, when I lay down or get up. I have my new insurance (Wellpoint) and I have been losing my mind with them about asking them very clearly, "Hey do y'all have any providers that do sinus flush and if so will it be covered?" They seem to just blank out or guide me to the website to do a search, I and a friend of mine did a search and we tried for hours, at this point days to get a hold of a single provider that would say, "Yes, we would give you a sinus flush and we would allow your insurance to pay for it on your behalf." We just can't get these people in the call!!!

Now, if you know a place in Dallas-Fort Worth area that does sinus flush with a walk-in or via appointments, either medical or NON medical, please let me know. If they accept Wellpoint as the insurance, then that's even better, but you know, I am giving up on Wp already, so if you can just give me a location that does sinus flush at this point with a walk in appt or scheduled appt, then that will be wonderful! Please let me know of any such locations. I would greatly appreciate it and maybe get this right ear pain to stop finally! Thanks you so much for reading!

Hi. Long story short, I am just trying to bring some sneakers for someone's kids in Brazil. They live in Manaus, Amazonas. And they wanted Barbie Themed Sneakers and Spider Man Themed Sneakers. I asked what their sizes were and they said, for the little girl, it's 30 (CM?) and for the little boy, it's 25 (CM?) and I am assuming it is a measurement in Centimeters (centimetros) starting from the farthest point of the front of the shoe (index toe) to the farthest back, all in one line (length-wise)? Is that true? If so, can you tell me how that would correlate to the U.S. Children's Shoe Size? Let me know, I really need to get these measurements right before I buy them and most importantly before I head over to Brazil to deliver, if it's all wrong, then you know, it will all be for nothing. Please help thanks.
