  • Need health insurance.. Should I get private insurance or Obamacare?

    I am a 27 y/o healthy male non-smoker living in Arkansas with good income. Wife has employer insurance that is very expensive to add me, so that's a no-go. I'll be the only one on the plan. I am prescribed medication that requires a doc's visit once per 2 months to have it refilled (so need medication and decent office visit fees/co-pay). I know little to nothing about health insurance. I've always had it under mother's plan and through the university after that.

    So what's the best route to go? Private insurance even if its subject to a penalty? Or go with ObamaCare. I'd like to have my medication covered at least partially, doc's visits, protection for severe medical emergencies, and possibly dental. I don't want to pay an exorbitant amount, nor do I want to be locked into anything. Thanks for any help..

  • Buying a take over lease car?

    I've been inquiring about taking over a leased car from sites like swapalease.com, etc. I'm wondering if it would be a good deal to use this arrangement to purchase a car? For instance, a 2011 Jeep Wrangler Sport 2dr with 13k total miles is available for $279 per month with 22 months remaining. The end buyout is $14,600. Altogether that's ~$21,000, not including taxes/fees. It seems that financing at a dealership for the same model would be similar price, but more interest if monthly payments are as low as lease payments. Assuming you have a good reliable source for vehicle inspection, could this possibly be a good strategy to buy a decent vehicle?

  • How to remove scratches from aluminum on iPhone 5?

    I've been waiting for my back screen protector to come in the mail.Of course it somehow gets scratched a day before it arrives. It's got a small scratch on the apple logo portion. Any tips for how to remove the scratch or at least make it less visible? I'd like to do so if possible before adding my screen protection. Thanks in advance.

  • Need a diagnosis on strange engine noise - '00 elcipse gs 4 cyl?

    There is what I would describe as a grinding noise that is present when accelerating. The noise becomes more rapid with increasing speed. It does not make the noise when in idle, and subsides when the clutch is applied at any speed. Revving the engine in park does not cause the noise. It's definitely from the engine, but tough to localize more specifically than that. It has become progressively worse and I am concerned about having to pay more than the car is worth for a repair if it continues (need it to last 8 more months). What do you guys think? Throw out bearing? Transmission mount? others?

  • I was terminated and replaced by someone the owner of the company is having an affair with.?

    Our company is financial turmoil and terminated multiple employees. I was one of the casualties. I was replaced by a known incompetent woman who just sow happens to be sleeping with the owner of the company. I have no proof, though saw first hand with 3 of my coworkers. Are there any actions I can take against the company? I understand that this is likely common, but I'm pretty steamed and would like to seek justice. Any precedence?

  • How would you improve my fantasy football roster?

    12 man league, head-to-head, standard scoring non-PPR, redraft, starting QB, WR, WR, RB, RB, W/R, TE, D, K.

    QB - Cam Newton, Andrew Luck

    RB - LeSean McCoy, Steven Jackson, Marshawn Lynch, C.J. Spiller, Kendall Hunter, Jonathan Dwyer, Robert Turbin

    WR - Hakeem Nicks, Vincent Jackson, Reggie Wayne, Denarius Moore

    TE - Greg Olsen, Kyle Rudolph

    K - Garrett Hartley

    D - Buffalo Bills

    I recently traded Vick, F.Jackson, and Bowe for Newton, Lynch, and V.Jackson. I'm looking to bolster my lineup a bit more. I'm overloaded at RB in hopes that one or more will breakout and I can swing a good deal in my favor since most teams in the league are weak at the position. What sort of moves would you look to make with this team? Any trade proposal reccs?

  • I have 3 Michelin tires and 1 Cooper tire on my car. Will this cause problems?

    '00 Eclipse. The Cooper tire is on my front driver side. It has similar tread and a bit newer than the other 3, but still close. I've been having problems with the car shaking at higher speeds (65-75 mph) even when there were 4 of the same tires. I had a 4 wheel alignment, which helped at slower speeds keeping the car from pulling, but the problem remains at high speeds. It was recommended to me that I have the tires balanced. Is there any point being that I do not have 4 of the same tires? What is the best course of action here?

  • Brake pedal vibrating; been through 3 sets of pads/rotors in the past 2 years. What's going on?

    My car ('00 eclipse) has been through 3 sets of brake pads and 2 sets of rotors over the past 2 years. They were installed correctly. Each time, the brake pedal would vibrate worse and worse as the pads/rotors deteriorated. After replacing, the problem would be fixed for a short period of time. I was told that a wheel alignment may be necessary to resolve this issue. I got a 4-wheel alignment and the car drives noticeably smoother at slower speeds, yet still pulls a bit to the left. At higher speeds, the wheel still shakes and the brake pedal vibrates like crazy when applied. No grinding or squealing sounds apparent. Any potential cause here? Hope I explained it well enough.

  • What job should I get this summer?

    I'm graduating May 9th with a B.S. in Speech Pathology. I'll have from May until August, which is when grad school begins. I need a source of income in between that time. What sort of job can I get? Speech Pathologist is out of the question since it requires an M.S. degree. It doesn't have to be real high paying, but I'd strong prefer not to work restaurants, movie places, etc.

  • I have a strong, constant desire to pee in different places and on different things.. Is this weird?

    It all started when I was in kindergarten and accidentally locked myself in the janitor's room. I had to wee wee really bad so I just went on the door. I realized that I thoroughly enjoyed it. I began to experiment a bit. I peed in the shower(sometimes with one leg raised like a puppy doggy), I peed in the oven. I peed on my dad's computer, the water tank, fish bowl, etc. Eventually I began to broaden my horizons and leave the county to pee in new and exciting places. By the time I reached college, I had peed in 30 states and was flat broke and in debt with credit card bills from all the gas, motel, and food expenses. I plan to visit my grandma over spring break and soak her dentures in fresh, warm piss then leave like a thief in the night. Hopefully someone will find Atlantis one day and I can pee pee there too. Anybody have any thoughts on my adventures? Suggestions? Am I weird?

  • I have two exams tomorrow (adderall available). Help me to devise a plan that would have me best prepared...?

    I am a senior in college. First and foremost, I have a legal perscription for 25mg XR so no bashing for illegally using drugs please. Please keep all advice pertaining to how to best perform on these tests. Here is the deal. I have a test tomorrow at 10am and one right after it at 11am. I am running off of four hours sleep right now. I need several more hours of study time. These are my options:

    1. Goto bed now and wake up very early in the morning, take an adderall, and study my tail off until it's time to take the tests. If I goto bed at say 8pm, what is the earliest I could wake up and still be functional for my 11:00 test?

    2. Rather than goto bed, take another adderall(took one at 7am this morning) and study until about 3 or 4 in the morning, then goto bed. This would give me roughly 5-6 hours of sleep after only having slept 4 hours last night.

    3. Any other viable ideas you can come up with. Again, the goal here is to log as much study time as possible while still being focused enough to take the exams at the given times(10pm and 11pm).

    Any advice here would be greatly appreciated.
