Has anyone noticed something toxic about these folks? They seem to just like to stir up trouble with little positive. Big time Facebook boomer negativity.

Im thinking about starting up my own small business as a 1 man operation to do residential & commercial window cleaning, Im thinking residentially I'd charge $10 per window, still working out the commercial rates but im thinking $20 per window for commercial store fronts

I’ve never been so frustrated with a healthcare system as I am with Lee Health.

No one I have reached out to answers phones, MyChart messages, responds to emails, or gets back to voicemails; or if they do, it takes weeks.

I have been beyond respectful, polite, and patient.

 I understand that Lee Health caters to hundreds of thousands of people. I come from a state where almost everyone, in said state, went to the same hospital network, and they ALWAYS got back to me by the end of the business day, whether that be a phone call, text, or MyChart.
 I understand Lee Health may be understaffed. But to just ignore my emails, MyChart messages, voicemails, phone calls?
In one office, it took them two weeks to get back to me. Others, zip, nada, not a peep.
What is the issue?
Am I doing something wrong?
How am I supposed to take care of my health if no one is responding?
It took me almost a week of calling to get this appointment. No one would answer, the phone would play the menu, I'd click a button, and then sit and wait for over 30 minutes before just giving up. Then, finally, someone actually answered the phone after 20 minutes.

The soonest they could get me in was an entire month out.
All I wanted was to see a psychiatrist and get prescribed a refill on a medication that I have been on for the past ten years. I have to be on this medicine to function like a normal human.
I called regarding an issue I saw with my insurance/billing (they conveniently sent me a MyChart bill right as they were closing the office yesterday), this morning at 8:05 AM, I waited for 45 minutes before an actual person answered the phone, told me they couldn’t help me but someone in finance would get back to me within 15 minutes whether that be a MyChart message or a phone call. 
My appointment was today. They had my updated insurance for over a month (that I gave over the phone and also personally updated in MyChart) and decided to, not so directly, let me know (through a MyChart message) the day before my appointment that they are having an issue with my insurance. They were not applying my insurance to my bill. 
Are you serious?
I contacted my insurance. There is no issue. My plan is active, my plan completely covers the appointment I had scheduled, and the provider I was seeing accepted my exact insurance plan. I had at least three different customer service reps from my insurance company, and a supervisor (who I didn’t ask for, but appreciate), assured me that everything in my insurance was perfect. 
Why?
Is this acceptable?
Am I asking for too much to have basic communication in a timely manner?
Again, I understand they are busy. Maybe I’ll have to wait a few days before someone gets back to me about a message regarding scheduling an appointment I sent in MyChart. It’s annoying but I’ll live.
But to let me know the day before my appointment that something isn’t right? And to do so at a time that I cannot call and rectify the situation?
How am I supposed to feel safe with my health in this system's hands?

They had a month to look at my insurance and verify everything. They had a month during which, if they found any issue, they could have contacted my insurance company and me. They had a month to determine whether or not my insurance was still going to be accepted through that provider.

Do they not verify anything until the day before?

Am I just not deserving of getting healthcare within Lee Health?
How am I supposed to get quality healthcare if no one is communicating with me?
I am trying so hard to be understanding, but am I asking for too much?

At this point I'm just going to start finding providers outside of the Lee Health system. I wanted to have everything in one system, like MyChart, to make everything easier on everyone involved. I guess that was dumb on my part.

Our internet has been sooo bad and spotty. We have comcast. We tried switching to something else but comcast had a monopoly in my area. We wanted to try quantum fiber but not available. I don’t know what to do anymore? I can’t play video games without it kicking me out of the servers, online books won’t load at times, it’s frustrating. Any advice? They offered to have a tech come to our house but I know they tend to not find anything and charge for the visit. Should I just add additional subscriptions they insist on? 😭

Heading to Fort Myers/Cape Coral area first week of June. Anyone have some good recommendations for courses around there that are in good shape and a must play? I am willing to make a longer drive as well for some other areas too!

Super random but looking for anyone interested in playing some ping pong. M39 from Miami, moved over here in 2021. just looking for another player to meet up and get some games. Just had surgery a few months back for a clotting issue and trying to get out and create some hobbies.

Also have been going to the driving range and playing some golf but open to other hobbies to get out of the house.

I think this story is kinda funny because this person purposely chose to live next to a nature preserve, and then was surprised to find wild animals doing wild animal things on their property.

Where do people find cosigners for loans when they have no other family or friends? I just got approved for a loan, but it's based off of cosigner approval and I have no family or friends to help. What would my next steps be?

Visiting for a few days. I have 2 small dogs. Looking for parks with trails where I can walk them 2 miles or so. On leash. They're not good with other dogs so off leash runs are out.(Recommendations for beach front/seafood restaurants appreciated. That's for me only.)

The lovely attendant said they’re getting recliner seats, a bar, a facelift and who knows what else. Long overdue I’d say

My fiance and baby are looking to move to the Ft.Myers/Estero area and I’m looking for neighborhood recs. Specially super family friendly neighborhoods, with walkable streets, good schools and a Publix around there somewhere lol. Thanks!

Thought I would share this funny story on here😂

We clean for an elderly couple in fort myers where every time our teams shows up, the dog follows them from room to room the entire time.

Not barking, not guarding anything just supervising. Every time we finish a room, he walks in, does a quick lap, sniffs around like he’s checking our work, and then moves on to the next one😂

And by the end of the clean, he finally settles down. I guess we passed his inspection!

Single female in my 30s, recently moved from South Florida to Fort Myers, but finding myself liking Cape Coral more so far. Interested in meeting good people for friendship and fun activities — sports, bars/restaurants, walks, local events, kayaking, live music, etc.

Would love to connect with others who are also looking to get out more, make new friends, and explore the area.

Anyone else out there looking for the same?

I’m visiting an old friend in fort myers, so I’m not familiar with the area. We’re just looking for a decent bar that isn’t too fancy, and not a dive bar lol. That are preferably open until at least 10pm on a Tuesday. We might be out until 12ish. Thanks in advance!
