Just got a letter from the insurance company. The poison pill that is the ACA is becoming more bitter - the plans themselves are apparently increasing the deductibles as a way to manage costs of additional ACA regulations coming into effect without otherwise changing coverage. The deductibles aren't going up by just a little bit either, they are doubling.

Might want to double check your insurance deductibles, coinsurance, and copays as the open enrollment periods come up for your plans. If you're lucky your employer is managing it in the background and just paying more for you. If not, don't be too surprised if costs go up significantly in 2015.

My step dad's health insurance went up 200 bucks/month after he got a letter saying that they "can no longer carry his policy".

Why is it that I have to explain to my father, who is a smart person, that an email yelling about the 'lie' of climate change written in green, with varying font sizes, whose sentences end in seven alternating exclamation points and question marks, is probably bunk he can ignore? Why can he not just figure that out for himself?

Man, my insurance policy is useless enough as it is, and getting more and more useless all the time. Pretty soon it'll be like I'm not even covered.

Some people look for evidence that supports their opinion and nothing else.

But he's not sending them to me as 'look, proof!' -he does not doubt climate change- but rather as, "Do you think this could be a legitimate argument?" Uhm, no dad, it's written with the linguistic talent of a grade two student.

1. My insurance is going to be going up next year.
2. My rate of pay won't.
3. I hate being a state employee.
4. Years before I can consider moving elsewhere (HINT: starts and ends with the letter "A" and has a Z in the middle).
5. Praying daily that Idiots in Madison don't do something to screw up #4.

Ugh. And ow. I think I pulled a muscle (maybe a lat muscle) doing yoga last night. Because since then, everything from my armpit down to my waist hurts.

Might have to call in to work and I really hate doing that.

How do you Wooly Willies stand facial hair? I have had this beard for almost a month now and I really just want to claw my own face off. I understand now why cavemen invented shaving.

My laziness exceeds my itchiness.

Though when I get agitated I start plucking out single hairs, one after another after another, without even really realizing. If I don't catch myself, and I'm stressed enough, I end up with these baby-smooth bald patches.

Facial hair is kind of like wool sweaters: they are really itchy when you first get them, but eventually your body adjusts to the stimulation and stops the itch reflex.

No... my problem is that by beard comes in REALLY thick on my chin and under it, but really sparsely on the sides of my face, so I can't get the look I want.[DOUBLEPOST=1416861108,1416861078][/DOUBLEPOST]

This helps too. The zinc really soothes your face.

I spent close to three hours trying to re-find a blog post/article I read about a week or so ago.

I finally found it.

It is considerably less useful than I remembered.

Bugger.
