I think it's strange that neither affleck nor damon has done TV. you know? -- nm - amanda Aug 26, 07:36 16

    - Damon, Affleck, etc get first look at any good movie script, and movies are built around the idea of getting one of them to star. - Roger More Aug 26, 08:08
  - They may not "need to" but I could see several of them doing it for the right project. Like the Rock doing Ballers and his other TV shows. -- nm - sycor Aug 26, 07:58 1
    - I could easily see it the other way, too - they avoid it because they want to maintain their film star brand/echelon status -- nm - Beryllium Aug 26, 08:00

    - The FDA doesn’t have regulatory authority unless there’s legislation. -- nm - SCOTUS Aug 26, 08:07

- Ha! I just watched two interviews with him and Bronson Pinchot last night and wondered what he was up to -- nm - TWuG Aug 26, 07:29
- also: Ep 2 included a Dano-licious bit of casting (this person might have also been in Ep 1, I can't remember exactly) -- nm - prayformojo Aug 26, 07:19 3
  - Heh. I looked up the episode cast on IMDB. He's definitely worked steadily since Sirens. -- nm - Dano Aug 26, 07:25 1
    - Patron Saint of Bears Who Eat Monkeys -- nm - prayformojo Aug 26, 07:29

- He's Conor Roy's svengali on Succession. -- nm - Reagen Aug 26, 07:03 1
  - wow. definitely didn't recognize him in that -- nm - prayformojo Aug 26, 07:04
- I couldn't place him either but the name in the credits was an aha moment. - Barons Barons Barons Aug 26, 07:02 3
  - did you do the dance of joy? -- nm - Reagen Aug 26, 07:11 2

ST Insurance people (overshare) - oblique Aug 26, 06:36 11
- Likely has BCBSIL. HR or their benefits website should have info. -- nm* - budice Aug 26, 06:43 1
  - yeah, that's my hope as well. It's one of many stressors for him but I will make sure we get the info when we talk on Sunday -- nm - oblique Aug 26, 07:04
- He needs to find out if he has insurance. - Dano Aug 26, 06:43 1
  - I'm hoping that our insurance changed so that we don't have to drop him (especially if he isn't long for this job) but as soon as we get confirmation - oblique Aug 26, 07:04
- Sounds like the first step is to confirm if his insurance has kicked in, which it sounds like it has. - sycor Aug 26, 06:43 6
  - that was my assumption (and it is good in our case because we know BCBS works with our providers) - oblique Aug 26, 07:02 5
    - If you're going to be handling this he will likely need to provide written authorization to allow them to speak to you about his plan. -- nm - Dano Aug 26, 07:04 4
      - Yeah, I doubt I will be involved directly. We don't want to cross the bridge. We've been taking that mentor role very seriously with our kids since - oblique Aug 26, 07:06 3
        
        I've been screamed at more than once because I couldn't talk to a parent about their 18-year-old's claims without authorization on file. -- nm - Dano Aug 26, 07:07 2
        
        It's not just parents, but spouses and even kids of elderly clients. "Well we told DSS to list me as someone that is handling things!" - sycor Aug 26, 07:10
        
        Yeah, we had all that set up with the colleges to avoid that problem if it arose. Good thing to remember though is that we may need it again -- nm - oblique Aug 26, 07:09

- What I have found, in my teaching career is that you get what you pay for. It's either one $500 chair or three or four $150 chairs over the same time - Volnelk Aug 26, 06:24 2
  - Completely agree. And the "manager" chair was more a joke. When I bought this chair it was probably $200-ish. - sycor Aug 26, 06:33
  - i think i am getting Dave a Secret Lab for Christmas. his office chair is garbage. -- nm - Andie Aug 26, 06:27
