Big Brother really IS watching!
Comments (33)I am not trying to disparage the ACA. Prior to the HIPPA regulations years ago you are correct SSN were used. We have not used them for at least 5-6 years. This was prior to the ACA. I run a dental office and have run medical offices in the past. Your insurance companies may require your SSN when you sign up for insurance; but your doctor, dentist, etc do not require it for processing your forms. You should have an updated ID card from your insurance company that has your individual and group numbers on it. The software used by dental offices now utilizes the these numbers and we NEVER have to key in a SSN. Processing claims is done electronically and I NEVER have to key in a social to process. I do not know what the ACA requires as far as ID. It is my understanding that if you are still getting your insurance through an insurance co. you use their number which is not SSN. If the government state or local pays for your insurance via ACA or medicare they in fact utilize your SSN, as it is your governmental ID number. Three years ago I was a victim of identity theft and going through that process was told that only banking and the social security administration needed your SSN. Our identities were stolen via our BANK. By a bank employee, a loan officer. Who of course had all of our info. In the three years since I refuse to put my social on a form for a random person or online. Ever....See MoreBig Brother Is Watching...?
Comments (7)Well, NBC or even the 'national media' is hardly big brother. And even if, so what? With topics like "how do I keep my house clean with animals" or "help me with curb appeal", this is hardly a super secret society of buyers/sellers. If anything, the off-chance of having someone monitor these chats who is actually moved to do anything about common gripes and problems is probably a good thing. Certainly, no one in their right mind would post anything on these forums that they would not want the world to have easy access to. Between the ads, the surveys and monitoring various forums, Gardenweb is a treasure trove of information for advertisers and other interested parties. It's the price we pay for this service....See Morebig brother!
Comments (6)It is a minus because one so many people hate Rachel she is annoying and 2 she was a winner and her sister probably has been well taught and versed in the game by Rachel and her fiance. Just like all the family of Russel being on Survivor, they have a big target on them from the beginning. I like the youth minister too and the college gal from Texas Aaryn she is very cute but not stuck on her self like some of them. She seems very down to earth. Don't much care for Amanda Zuckerman, wonder if she is kin to Facebook Zuckerman, not a fan of Jessie or that Gina Marie from Staten Island. I can not believe that Andy with the red hair is old enough to be a college professor! He looks like a teenager. Here are comments from Rachel about her sister in the game, they are not twins but are sisters. "Reilly says there’s no way Slater will be able to hide their relation, and hopes it doesn’t have a negative impact on her game, although that’s unlikely �" Willie Hantz, anyone? “I think we look like twins,” Reilly says. “People are gonna know immediately. They’re gonna see her and be like, ‘You’re Rachel’s sister.’ Or her cousin, something. They’re gonna know we’re related. And once she talks, you can totally [tell]. We have the same laugh. [Laughs.] It’s a dead giveaway.” “I hope this doesn’t put a target on her back,” she continues, “but I’m kinda worried that it will, so I think she needs to play that card, and she needs to play it with people that are my fans. If someone likes me, she needs to be in an alliance with them automatically. If someone hates me, that’s probably someone you should worry about.” While Slater is taking Reilly’s advice to heart, she also wants to play her own game, not her sister’s, especially in the social department. “I want to have her competitiveness and focus but I don’t want to play her social game because that was bad,” Slater reveals in an interview with People. “I want to be socially savvy.” “Forming an alliance is my main strategy,” she adds. “I definitely want to form the first girl alliance in Big Brother history that will make it to the end. I’m such a girly girl and I think it would be really fun for girls to run the game.” for reference here is the full cast list Rounding out the new cast are: Aaryn Gries, 22. College Student from San Marcos, Texas. David Girton, 25. Lifeguard from San Diego, Calif. Gina Marie Zimmerman, 32. Pageant Coordinator from Staten Island, N.Y. Jeremy McGuire, 23. Boat Shop Associate from Katy, Texas. Howard Overby, 29. Youth Counselor from Hattiesburg, Miss. Helen Kim, 37. Political Consultant from Chicago, Ill. Amanda Zuckerman, 28. Realtor from Boynton Beach, Fla. Spencer Clawson, 31. Railroad Conductor from Conway, Ark. Jessie Kowalski, 25. Unemployed from San Antonio, Texas. Kaitlin Barnaby, 23. Bartender from Minneapolis, Minn. Judd Daughtery, 26. Property Appraiser from Etowah, Tenn. Candice Stewart, 29. Pediatric Speech Therapist from New Orleans, La. McCrae Olson, 24. Pizza Delivery Boy from Oak Grove, Minn. cast revealed,...See MoreAttention: People Who Complain About Leaves Curling Upward
Comments (22)Over the years...I have seen people lash out with insulting remarks....like some of the above posts. I find it a bit sad. It almost always is a result of that person (or people) wanting to be the "authority" on a given subject. Some folks are just really quick to take offense...and their reaction is to get ugly. Gardening (tomato growing) has many-many variables that lead to differing opinions. That is just the way it is. I find it is best to "move on" from insulting posts....rather than dig in and fight the battle....See More- 9 years ago
