Your options: Ensure fiancé has their SSN or you may have a hard time. 1)Find a plan through the affordable care act's marketplace (either state or federal marketplace whichever is available). If using this option you will need to also have the NOA1 for Adjustment of Status as an immigration qualifier. 2)Buy a plan out of pocket through any insurer available in your state. 3)Wait until new spouse is employed at a job that offers insurance. 4)Get off your parents insurance and use any of the above options including finding insurance via an employer to have a joint plan. Any of the above does not mean that those plans will be 'inexpensive'. Cheaper does not equal better quality insurance either, when shopping for insurance you will have to compare quality of the plan offered vs cost. The third option is not ideal as who knows when the spouse will be work authorized and then be employed. Immigrating to a new country and marriage are QLE (qualifying life events) which make a person eligible to use the marketplace outside of open enrollment. You will need to explore qualifying documents required. For me, I chose to buy a joint plan out of pocket with an insurer and used that until my husband was employed and offered us coverage which was far better. However that was a long wait and was quite expensive. How affordable it will be for you will be based on a variety of factors unique to you and your state.

I've been thinking a lot about this article ever since it popped up and it's just nuts. At first I thought it was going to be about kids using phones to goof off in class but no... it turns out it's the parents being all insane. This is not a healthy way to raise a child, nor is it a healthy state for a parent to be in either.

An odd one from Slate but a lot of schools are now going for cellphone free policies - either taking phones from kids or locking them in lockers for the day. Our local schools are planning to do this and it's causing a lot of uproar in parents who want 24/7 access, and some kids that are scared something bad will happen and will be unable to call their parents. But there are other reasons parents are demanding all sorts of uses for cellphones in class. Some notable snippets:

So, I'm of two minds about this. I was also a child that was frequently left unattended. Not out of any wanting their child to be independent or anything, but because there were periods of neglect in my life. I was left alone in cars and the house for hours. My siblings report a similar experience. Thankfully no one got into trouble, but we all had situations where we very much wished we had guidance and safety our parents hopefully could have provided. I have often told stories where tiny me balanced on a step stool over a gas stove around age 5 or 6 completely unattended. I would be left unattended outside my city home nearly every day and to be fair many city kids would have long walks off the bus.. and sometimes things would happen to them. My sister tells the story of being left in a car for hours, with no parents in sight and needing to go to the bathroom badly - so she ventured out and was helped by a kind but very concerned stranger. These days the cops would be called, and I don't blame them. I would never do that to my children. When I spent a good deal of time watching over my nieces/nephew I went with them everywhere and paid close attention to what they were doing. I'd never in my right mind dream of letting a 7 year old wander wherever he wanted because I remember being put into such a situation. I do recall my nephew's mother letting his father watch him around that age (I say 'let him' because he's not very reliable in that regard) and before you knew it he managed to wander through the streets to a bodega for food. Mom and Dad panicked of course when they couldn't find him. He was okay, grandpa found him safe and sound, but a little scared. My point here is the article frames these parents as just fine, and maybe they are, but we are no judge of that. These kids are all supposedly homeschooled, which means there's some parent that *should* be watching them at all times... but yet, aren't. Why? We don't know, but gone are the days where I think kids are safe to wander. I don't really think there was a time when kids were safe to wander. My dad will laud the times when he routinely skipped school and spent hours doing whatever he pleased and that included getting into 'trouble' as if it was some golden era of safety. I don't think he was necessarily safe, and if anything he was the one making others not safe. Having kids is a big responsibility and imo many problems we have today is because generations of parents have really screwed up that responsibility. Some parents overcompensate by being complete disaster case helicopters (I meant to post an article about helicopter parents, cellphones and school systems) and others just seem like they don't care.

I am not a democrat though? At any rate that has no bearing paying our taxes and on receiving a refund, which is the question that was asked as the subject of this thread. I know many republicans that also received refunds and have always received them.

Maritime law is complicated and weird. The company that owns the boat is responsible for whomever is piloting it no matter if it is a different pilot I think. Isn't that kind of like some state car insurance rules where the insurance follows the car and not the driver (that is how it is in this state)? In the incident where Ever Forward ran aground due to both pilot's negligence it was the owner of the ship that agreed to pay the state roughly $700,000 in damages. This is probably not the actual cost of the damage they caused, but it was the best we could get because it would have been too expensive to litigate. That money didn't actually go toward the habitat it destroyed, and there was a political fight which county was going to receive that money to build a new habitat. I have heard that the Dali's bow is currently stuck on the bottom of the river, but also on top of a gas line and potentially some sort of water supply structure.

Not sure what you're implying or what that has to do with receiving a refund, nor do I know what "super liberal" means.

The company has already filed paperwork to attempt to get out of paying for very much. I think we really need to overhaul our maritime laws. We managed to open a small channel today but it's not very deep. At least it was enough a few things were tugged through it.

We have always gotten a refund and this year is no different.

This individual was also previously arrested in September in NY and released. There are many similarities in this case to the homicide of Rachel Morin in August of last year in Maryland. Some have even pointed out that he looks very similar to a recently released sketch of a suspect in the murder. That suspect in the MD case was traced via DNA to the rape of a minor that took place in California earlier in the year. Police have always stated that they feared would kill again and may be linked to other crimes. I am praying that this may be the suspect and can be brought to justice. For more background on the MD case see here:

Whelp, this one is a doozy of an indictment. That's a lot of cash and gold bars laying around your house for the feds to find. Seems he was also selling secrets to the Egyptians. You can read the indictment here. It is INSANE. You could make a movie about this: https://int.nyt.com/data/documenttools/robert-menendez-indictment-document/e9ff4e956cb8dfc9/full.pdf There is a passage that caught my eye: "Third, MENENDEZ promised to and did use his influence and power and breach his official duty to recommend that the President nominate an individual as U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey who MENENDEZ believed could be influenced by MENENDEZ {....}" Was the President interviewed? What did the President know and when did he know it?

Rachel Morin told her boyfriend that she was going for a run on a popular trail in the small town of Bel Air, Maryland. When she did not return, her boyfriend contacted police. The police said they had looked through the trail and could not find her, so it was initially thought of as perhaps a kidnapping. What was concerning to me is that they allowed the public to come to the trail and search, potentially contaminating the scene. We go to the trails and woodlands in the Bel Air area a lot, and after a few very frightening incidents, our list is growing smaller unfortunately and now we do not go walking/hiking without some sort of weapon. There were reasons to be suspicious of the boyfriend. He has a past criminal history, it was a very recent relationship. There were a few other suspects too - a creepy man was seen stalking women where she worked. There is also a homeless camp at the end of this particular trail. None of these panned out. Rachel was easily found by members of the public search party, within 24hrs of her going missing on the trail in a small tunnel, that is not very well-lit, but certainly open enough I have no idea why the police could not find her initially. While the police haven't mentioned the particulars of the case, it is said to be a brutal murder and rape. This is usually a busy trail, and no one questioned is said to have seen or heard anything. A few days later a creepy man claiming to have found her, was interviewed by the news and gave many horrific but confusing details to the press. Some of these 'details' continue to be falsely written today. They did not verify his story, and ultimately the police said this man was not only a grifter but he was lying for 'fame'. Rachel's family has tried very hard to enlist the public and media's help to find her killer. They have funds set up for her children. Have asked profilers to assist, and have had many charity events and held public pleas for help. The trail is now basically a memorial, and many from the town no longer feel safe walking. Some time later the police held a conference to announce that through DNA evidence, Rachel's killer was involved in a crime LA last year. We know little about the case as it involved the rape of a minor. But there was video of the suspect from behind - he appears to be Hispanic with some distinguishing features. As the weeks have gone on, it is possible the FBI has found links to another case in Chicago - and it is for this reason the police believe the suspect to be a serial killer or serial rapist. Rachel Morin left behind five children and a family that is desperate. Her killer is traveling and could be anywhere. Here are links to the case with videos of the suspect from the LA incident. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/09/11/rachel-morin-case-updates-criminal-profiler/70825144007/ https://www.fox5dc.com/news/rachel-morin-murder-maryland-sheriff-says-suspect-on-the-loose-could-strike-again https://www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/criminal-justice/rachel-morin-memorial-walk-bel-air-PYYWZG7PPJFDJMJKMTNFRGPCJI/ https://www.thebaltimorebanner.com/harford-county/detectives-pursue-leads-in-la-chicago-in-rachel-morin-murder-investigation-7Y7VTH4OEVE6XEARKOYSIK47XM/ https://www.gofundme.com/f/rachel-morin-funeral-and-memorial-fund
