AT&T, you can piss the f off. Your service sucks and so does your website. I just want a copy of my crap so I can port my damned numbers!

Getting towards dinner time here. Vegetarian chilli for us. Celebrating the seven year old's birthday tonight.

Existing on granola bars and coffee today, forgot my lunch and the cafe was closed for unknown reasons

The seven year old requested that she get to watch The Book of Life with her grandfather. So that is on now.

At first that sounds like a fun time... but then I remember it's 11 days before Christmas. Did you think this through all the way?

Completely. My wife said, "let's go." I said, "ok."
Seriously though, yeah it is for the girls. We are not going to see my family for Christmas so we are taking a little trip instead. They will get a hotel with a pool and they are getting to shop for their American Girl dolls with their own money (gift cards).

@JaredBusch ...and I think I know who's holding down the fort back at the hotel with the pool.

Probably not, but will not be for a lack of trying. Always a chance a customer can have an "emergency"...
Sad thing about MoA is that I had a 6ish hour layover in MSP a couple years back and did not know it was literally right next to the airport until afterwards. Could have gotten the sightseeing thing out of the way then. Meh, I'll live.

You dropped any US healthcare, I would assume.
Mine is going down by $230 because I am taking a risk with a shittier plan. We have had too many child sicknesses and injuries for us to drop insurance and just pay cash for services plus the penalty. If I get a solid year+ of healthy kids I may go that route.
-
Oh, well yes I did. However I thought that we were talking car insurance for some reason. My car insurance went down this year
But yes, my healthcare did drop dramatically too by dropping insurance completely.
-
We really tried hard to get official US health insurance, but literally we were uncoverable under Obamacare. No plan is offered that satisfies the tax requirements of Obamacare and covers us. So it's a gap in coverage. We read about it a lot and several sources said from day one that this was a known gap and a category of people just being ignored right now.
The problem that we face is that we could spend a fortune for useless healthcare and not pay the tax penalty, but we'd get no coverage and we'd pay far more than the penalty is. That doesn't just waste money, but it uses up money that we would otherwise need to have saved up to deal with a medical emergency since we have to pay out of pocket for whatever we need.
Just stuck, unfortunately.
