My Motorcycle Got Stolen And I’m Not Even Mad Three weeks ago, I left my apartment to an unusual sight: My bright blue BMW, usually sitting so proudly at the curb in front of my apartment, had been replaced with a street-parked SUV. The bike wasn’t ahead of the car, nor behind it. It wasn’t on its side somewhere, it wasn’t at the corner, and a quick glance at the… Read more…

Got slapped with a $1500 medical bill. Need help with my next steps.

( www.reddit.com )

Got slapped with a $1500 medical bill. Need help with my next steps. So I obviously didn’t do my full due diligence. I went in for a head MRI which I assumed would be covered by my insurance. According to the plan document preventative care was supposed to have the deductible waived but I guess it didn’t count even with the referral from the doctor. Could use some advice on what my next steps should be since I de…

My FIL got a loan out for my husband and now I’m confused My husband had to total his car in 2019 (may) due to a hail storm.

This would mean he pays $7640 over the span of 60 months (5years) at the minimum payments of $128. We have a baby on the way and I…

Got a notice from my life ins co. I qualify for “Conversion!”

( www.reddit.com )

Got a notice from my life ins co. I qualify for “Conversion!” So after a few minutes of research, I managed to figure out that “conversion” is the phrase of the day for “whole life”. I guess insurance salesmen are fed up with people knowing that “whole life” is a scam and are losing commissions – so they invented yet another term called “conversion”. “You can convert your term policy to a permanent policy…

Got caught up in Fargo

( www.reddit.com )

Got caught up in Fargo I dismissed the show forever in worry that it would just be a ripoff of the film. It is related, but i am not disappointed in the slightest. The execution of this show, it’s bizarre stories, great casts, sly, dark sense of humor. Are there any other shows out there that rival this show? Or anything even remotely like it? submitted by /u/…
