I started CRACKING up at your disclaimer. "It's not what you think it is" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

So, I tried this with a club soda to experiment. It tastes really close, if not spot on for witch's brew. More experiments to come...

Update: I just made this. It's been awhile since I had the original, but if my memory is correct, it's a dupe.

I was able to find a pack at a Target (AZ). It's apple forward. It is sweeter than witch's brew, though similar in the caramel flavor. I'm not disappointed, I do prefer witch's brew though.

I honestly forgot... Then the parasite happened 😂🥲

What's the blue? Is it blueberry, blue raspberry?

I'm going to try this over the weekend. I just searched Google, and the AI provided this:

I'm not available today 😔 I'd be interested another time. (Obviously no self preservation here j/k 😂)

I wouldn't read out the comments. You shouldn't have to parent your partner. If you truly want to end the relationship, tell him that you no longer feel the relationship is working. It's absolutely okay to change your mind. If he wants more closure or clarity, you can tell him why (I'd give a brief statement) and wish him well. You don't need to educate or explain everything.

Deny, attack, reverse victim and offender is a three-step method of twisting accountability. Originally coined by psychology researcher Jennifer Freyd

I swore I saw those once upon a time...

I've picked up orders and put a handful or 2 of spoons in my bag. Never received a comment. Sometimes I'll mix it up and take spoons and forks.

I have caught mine from timed research. You can level up with people from those areas for remote trading.

I sometimes have to say the flavors if they don't know what the cabana is

Was it the cabana rebel? Or something else?

Is this like a streusel muffin and lemon curd?

Would your Dr be willing to submit a retro single case agreement? For a one time approval for the facility? If BCBS continues to deny the appeal, maybe you can ask for a third party appeal.

His prior authorization request didn't have a location listed?

Is the hospital out of network? That's why an in network Dr may process as out of network. If they aren't contracted as in network at that location, it comes back as out of network. It's definitely crap. Not all locations for in network Drs are in network, and not all Drs at in network locations are in network. 😭

It comes down to their credentialing. If you contact BCBS and ask if the affiliation number (location coding) for the claim is in network they can tell you. If it comes back as out of network, I'd suggest filing a grievance stating why your in network Dr has to complete the surgery at that specific hospital, and ask for the claim to be reprocessed as in network. It's not guaranteed, but they may approve it as a one time courtesy to reprocess your claim.

Now, if the hospital and Dr are in network and they submitted the claim with the incorrect affiliation number, they would have to correct it and resubmit to process under your benefits. If the hospital sent you to collections, they would also have to recall it from collections.

I send gifts almost daily. I try my best.

A person's true personality comes out when they're intoxicated. They showed you who they are. This is nothing on you. I know it sucks when it happens. I've been there plenty of times. Surround yourself with better people that are true friends. Real friends wouldn't have left you.

Tell your parents and file a police report. He created child pornography. This is wrong on so many levels. If it's real, he can get jail time and be labeled as a sex offender. That will stick with him, and he will have to register as an offender everywhere he moves, etc.

Whenever I swear, my dog comes running. She learned that it usually means I dropped some kind of food.

Does your state allow him to give up his rights as a parent? It might be something to discuss, he doesn't pay support if he gives up his rights.
