TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Just got our open enrollment package for health insurance (assuming I still have a job come July 1), and the cost per pay period for a PPO is increasing $60 per pay period ( bi weekly), don’t think I can afford that increase at this point, so we are looking into the HMO. My wife and I both see a few specialists. Will we only need a one time referral? Or a referral for every subsequent referral? Also, in the experience of those with an HMO, how easy is the referral process? For example will you be required to go physically see the doc? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 OK the black flies are unbearable. So we went from being stuck in the house in Aprilary and Maycember to being stuck in the house because you risk being eaten alive. I'm sure the black flies will let up just in time for 70F dews to keep us inside too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Hey y'all... Serious question here. Are any of you Science Fiction fans? Here's the deal. I have a tentative publication date for a Science Fiction novel, "Dominion," set for release during the 2nd or 3rd week in June, 2020. The story is not Meteorological fiction, shockingly. I think we cover all aspect of weather-related fiction in here already. I do have a Facebook page I have recently created, designated to authorial relations and exposure. Is that something you may be interested in? I have also launched ( 'launched' ha, as it was five clicks of turmoil) a new Instagram account. Despite my day-job as a DB software consultant, I am quite "neophytic" with the pan-dimensional intricacies of social media architecture and strategies. It's just not my bag, and I haven't really engaged enough with it. Nevertheless, my publisher is hot-to-trot about getting their various authors less diffident about those sorts of engagements, and so.. I now have these formats accessible. So, if anyone would like, I can send along the #'s and @'s for Insta. and FB respectively. During this staged release process ( apparently ... I am also vanilla in how this marketing in literature happens, too ) we still have to go through a cover-release, then a book release thing on FB ... and that has a PR development plan, a-to-zinc. So, right now, a PR specialist hired by my publishing house is just getting started with my project - tentatively scheduled as such. I cannot guarantee you will enjoy the work. I cannot guarantee it will be written in a meter and turn of phrase that is very pleasing to the voyager reader. But... it does deal in three component of modern science that are hot, fused of together in one creative tapestry: Biology, Psychology, and Solid State Physics, as the engineers of the story use Biology to create SSP, and inadvertently and quite consequentially voyages into spiritualism. I will also mention, the SciFi that was created as the scaffold for the thematic arc, has recently been discovered as plausibly true by Sir Roger Penrose et al... This story was conceptualized and in greater proportion, composed years prior to Penrose, so ... it's not just light sabers and blaster guns stuff. This work is a real old school science fiction in form, with a modern twist of camaraderie among characters in rich interaction that help propel the story. One may notice right off the bat ... "Meteorology" is not in that list of disciplines? I think we definitely engage in enough weather-related fiction in this social media all ready - don't you think Anyway, it is for those that may appreciate sci-fi in general. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Anyone hear of the new show on Starz? Hightown is the show, premieres today on Starz. The show stars Monica Raymund formerly of Chicago Fire. She is an awesome woman, and a talented as hell actress. She is the lead. This show takes place on Cape Cod during the drug enraged summer months of tourism season in P-town and she is hunting a serial killer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big sky view to watch Tcu explode in July over the Presidentials. Fast moving squalls in the winter where it’s partly sunny then 0 vis then partly sunny... great potential there for weather vids.

I think NH is better than VT with cell reception but once you get outside town in either state access to high speed internet becomes an issue. Here in VT a couple of consortium's have been created by towns to get fiber optic service to small towns. It's a slow process but has worked.
