CT 177: Strong Like Bull

[wfudkn]

Choosing a health plan has to be one of those decisions where you have the least data and have to make the most important decision in the entire American marketplace. Any other examples?

Choosing a health plan was the easiest part about coming to my new job. I'm on my wife's insurance (thanks Obama) so I just chose "NONE." The only issue was that it confused the people in HR and so they signed me up anyway without my consent, though I didn't know about it for a few months. So my current insurance thought I had supplemental insurance and shit got all confusing.

So I didn't know until yesterday that Amazon Prime sometimes has free same-day delivery, and that you can have things delivered on a Sunday. So we ordered something yesterday morning and it arrived yesterday evening, for free. Pretty awesome.

I ordered a few parts for my halloween costume last night around 8-9 pm and something already arrived at 1 pm. 2015, you are magical.

I feel like choosing a health plan as a single young adult with no health conditions is pretty easy. I can't imagine adding a wife and kids to the mix and comparing my options and the wife's.

For my birthday I got a Yeti mug and apparently it was ordered at 6PM and was on the doorstep the next morning at 745.

I literally have no idea how that's possible unless the order came in and they were like, "Hey, Jim. Don't you live in that neighborhood?"

I'm not sure though. How do you estimate how much you're going to spend over the course of the year on health? Seems like if you opt for a cheap plan with a high deductible and you're sick or hurt, you made the wrong choice. But if you're healthy, why opt for a more expensive, low deductible plan if you're unlikely to get sick or hurt?

we have a new, large Amazon warehouse only a few miles away. It results in some wonderfully fast orders.

We finally inventoried our LP record collection last night. We've got 115 of the 45 rpm singles and 175 of the 33 rpm albums, each spanning the last 60 years. My parents had great taste in music growing up.

I need to come up with a primarily green costume for Halloween. Should I be Peter Pan, the green Care Bear, or something else? Looking to stay pretty PG (and that doesn't just mean "primarily green!").

 

[DeaconCav06]

Poison Ivy.

I almost bought a ridiculous looking oscar the grouch costume

you should go as a marijuana plant. then if people ask why, you can say it's a statement on the growing statewide legality of recreational marijuana, all while the feds continue to ignore the issue and keep it illegal. You'll be praised for taking such a bold political stance on an issue important to many Americans, while also celebrating a fun holiday

i need to come up with something that's all of the following things:
- work appropriate
-comfy enough to be worn on a plane for 5 hours
- not weird enough to be worn on a plane for 5 hours
- incorporates these shoes somehow if at all possible:

 

[TownieDeac]

flight attendant

I should also say that it needs to be an inexpensive and fairly simple costume. My physique is not really up to standards for the green man bodysuit, and Poison Ivy doesn't look very PG. This is for a Halloween rehearsal dinner.

First thing I thought with the shoes is Rainbow Brite
