Good lord, Cass. This has turned out to be a real pain in the ass for something that was supposed to be settled.

Well they expect to have me in the system by Friday. And I am guessing that they probably would like me to reschedule my appt until after that. Which innit happening. I might be rescheduling but only to today because y'ouch!

Sigh... It's just that I have been making people run and jump through hoops yesterday and now "Hey, we reclassified you with BC/BS and now you'll have been covered all month. Makes me wish that I had incurred any med bills at all from my hire date to Aug. 1 but actually had planned ahead and t rolls eyes forever Sigh...

How is the tooth area feeling?

for something that was supposed to be settled.

Six different ways now that I count up. And the thing that grates is that they could have told me they were still trying to get BC/BS to work instead of me running hoops (much harder than just jumping them) on the COBRA stuff...

I really hope this meemememememememeeeee is over soon. Or at least that it evolves into telling you what the doctor said and what the doctor proscribed and then getting laughed out cause it makes me sounds stoned. That would be better than this.

Mornin' All.

Good luck in the Home Stretch, cass.

Hope the tooth doesn't cause extra work misery, Perkins.

And y'all need to Step.Away from my Crichton.

Insurance shouldn't be allowed to max out. Cause, if it's too much for them to pay, how on earth are you supposed to?

Ah, Crichton. Ah, leather pants. I have no idea how on earth those would be practical for anything other than, say, motorcycles, but boy it made him look sexy and badass. Same for Sun, of course.

Well, you know, I can buy pretty much any pharmaceutical here without a scrip and really cheap, Cass. IJS.

I get the sense it's the latest push from the Bridal-Industrial Complex to milk yet more money out of weddings.

Definitely. It's sad that weddings and the related celebrations have become this thing you practically need to take a mortgage out for, instead of being a party celebrating what is, yes, a major life event, but still ... so is buying a house, and you don't spend a year's salary on a housewarming.

Aimee, I think you've already gotten a lot of good advice, so I'll just add hugs. I do think the time has come to be blunt with the bride, the MoH, or both.

So she has in the past been scornful of people who would even potentially put themselves in the position of being homewreckers, and now she's told them that I'm separated and they're a little agog

Heh. That's like how I was all "older men are bad news, I can't believe you're going out with a 22-year-old" all through high school and into college, and then I meet Patrick. Who is seven years older.

Thank you, irony fairies.

Also, billytea, that was a VERY nice message from Bec. I'm glad she's happy for you.

so Sunday is the big Niles antique show. on Saturday ( and Sunday ) there are tons of people all over doing tag sales. this year, we are doing one. I am guessing that if we sell everything at the price we want it will be a nice dinner. well, maybe half our new bookshelf wood. or possibly a new sink. and there are people that do it every year.
