Egads! Our Homeowners Insurance Company Is Bankrupt: Any advice!
Comments (32)I have great news! On November 17th, our credit card company, Citibank notified us that the dispute has been officially settled in our favor and the entire amount of our insurance premium has been permanently credited back to our account. Yippeee! For us, the hard part was following through with the documentation. I guess that our insurance company is so disorganized at this point that they could not file a case against us (plus, what they did was wrong as well). In short, thank heaven that I used a credit card to pay the premium. And speaking of credit cards, I wanted to say that several months ago I bought an item on eBay that the seller never mailed to me, nor would the seller communicate with me, even though I paid in full when the auction ended. I reported the transaction via Pay Pal (which is the only avenue eBay would let me take other than leaving negative feedback), which has a very mediocre, no, pitiful, disputes process. After a few weeks of waiting on Pay Pal to get somewhere, I finally told Pay Pal that I wanted my money back from the deadbeat seller. Here's the bad part: Pay Pal wanted to charge me $25 to pursue a claim (that's really about the amount I spent on the item), even though I'm the victim of a fraudulent seller. In fact, I believe the seller resold the item I bought in another auction. Well, if I had paid for the auction via Pay Pal's instant bank transfer method, I would have been stuck. But thanks again to my credit card (which I always use on Pay Pal, never, ever the instant bank account transfer because you don't have the same level of protection, obviously) I am disputing that charge as well. Moreover, disputing the charge via Citibank got eBays attention and they sent me a questionnaire about the transaction (what that will do, I have no idea). I'm very disappointed in eBay and in Pay Pal for the lack of support in the face of a very bad transaction, in fact, a criminal one. I am not the only one, the seller now has several negative feedback listing the same complaints as this one. In any case, thanks for helping on this homeowners insurance dispute.

Comments (43)And now Hugh Jackman and I have something in common. I was actually laughing at the news the other night because they mentioned it about 5 times between two different news shows. You know how they mention an upcoming story and make it sound so much more dramatic than it is -- I thought he was dying or something and then when they got to the story, he had the same skin cancer I had! Little thing on his nose. Well, I have 10 stitches so I think mine should have been on the news too. I have to wear a dress to an event in two weeks and I'm not happy about showing off my leg! Usually I'm all about the black dress and black stockings, but I was planning to wear a gray lace dress I got several months ago and wear either very light gray or nude stockings, but now I'm not so sure...although it's not like anyone would notice, probably....See MoreFrustrated with insurance!
Comments (52)https://www.cadth.ca/generic-drugs/similarities-and-differences-between-brand-name-and-generic-drugs "Bioequivalent drug formulations have the same bioavailability; that is, the same rate and extent of ABSORPTION.... There is a common misperception that generic drug concentrations can be 80% to 125% of the brand name formulation; in other words, that the variance may be up to 45%. This is not true. One of the key parameters for bioequivalence is the area under the curve (AUC). The AUC is a mathematical calculation based on a graph of blood concentration versus time, and it correlates well with total drug exposure. The AUC of a generic formulation must be no less than 80% or no more than 125% of the brand name formulation. There is international consensus that differences within this range are not clinically significant. More importantly, the 90% confidence interval of the AUC must also fall within 80% to 125%. Recall that the confidence interval is a range of measurements within which we can be confident that the true result lies. So, for the entire confidence interval to fall within the 80% to 125% range, the variance is generally less than 5%."...See MoreOJ and others with prostate cancer.........question please
Comments (30)Obviously, this is concerning but try not to jump to any conclusions until you know something for sure. In the meantime, I would try to focus on the things you can do now like preventive care. Maybe start by building his immune system up with an immune building diet, (if you haven't already). You can do this with a things like kale, very green veggies, mushrooms, onions, garlic, berries, seeds, some fruits and so on. It's important because if he does have to go back into treatment, it will help keep him from getting sick from outside germs. My husband started an immune building diet when he was diagnosed 4 years ago and both during his initial treatment and now (he's is on a permentant low dose chemo regime), he hasn't been ill even once in 4 years and he works in a hospital setting. If you are interested in knowing more, I'll be happy to share. Of course I hope there is a reasonable explanation and that things will be ok. I know first hand what you're going through right now, there is nothing scarier than the unknown. Please know you're both in my prayers and thoughts....See Morecowboyind
