Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!  

Closed Threads

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I just checked the new 2006 premiums for the University health insurance plans.

One plan more than doubled its "family" premium. Most are up 10-20%.

Except our plan.

They cut the premium in half.

W. T. F????????

And I checked the state site, and it's true -- they cut the premium, and in the process they IMPROVED our coverage at the same time. So, in effect, I'm getting a 1% pay increase. Hurrah!

but it's still troubling that $30K is considered a good annual salary for an overtime-exempt web designer in this city.

That sounds fricking crazy. Especially after seeing house prices for the city. No wonder so many cities are overbuilding apartments and condos.

The hell? That's wrong on so many levels.

So I went and told Kara that it was time for us to go. "OH NO!" she shouted. "I just got here!" When I explained that I meant Mommy and Daddy were going she said, "Oh, okay." and walked off.

Hee. That is so Kara. Thanks for posting the pictures, Deena. The shirt looks great on Kara, and I love Aidan asleep in the pizza. They're so damn adorable.

They don't explain the "whys" of it very well, but the benefits look upgraded. Only two deductibles are going up -- max OOP for prescriptions and hospital visits.

But yeah, more money in the pocket. I was planning on using my raise to offset the higher costs, but now I think I'm going to throw part of that money into the Sec. 125 so I can get new glasses in January.

Our wings are not tired.

Scrolled back until I found the links. Kara is such a cutie pie. Aidan asleep is so sweet. I'm all awwww over here.

The hell? That's wrong on so many levels.

Supply of web people was higher than demand after the Crash, and salaries have never recovered fully from the glut. Then real estate took off.

I make more than $30K, but I couldn't buy even a condo on my salary.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Kara has been a sass monster tonight. We took them to taco bell and then to the library. On the way to the library she said, "Mommy, say 'car.'

Me: Car
Kara: Now say 'uh'
Me: uh
Kara: There! That's how you spell it! Say KARA! I am NOT little missy.
