25 is so ... boring.

Yes, but it IS 5x5.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It will be fixed eventually but it's a pain until then.

Oh, yeah, I don't mean to be dismissive of how wrong it is and what a pain it will be for yo to deal with it. I'm just all "Look on the bright side" for some reason.

Now that it's been brought to my attention, I have to say, I'm suspicious.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I forgot to say thanks for the stats, ita.

25 is so ... boring. 17's wild, unpredictable and flexible. Okay, NSM with the flexible.

Which is why we have flexible 17-year-olds.

In Michigan. In California we have flexible 18-year-olds.

Eh, I prefer to think of it as pentacular.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Oh, yeah, I don't mean to be dismissive of how wrong it is and what a pain it will be for you to deal with it. I'm just all "Look on the bright side" for some reason.
Didn't come off as dismissive at all, I am just grrrr-ranty and frustrated because I checked about ten days ago to make sure the cards were coming and was assured that they were. Frankly, it's good for me to have the silver lining pointed out when I am in CassSmash mode. Especially since I can't afford to get too hurt until this is worked out.

I knew there was a reason that I filled as many random scripts as I could right before my old insurance ended. Told the Dr. that I wasn't sure if the new insurance would be set up without issues and better to have things like extra migraine meds and not need them then the alternative.

What is even happening?

Cass, is there any chance you could say, "This is not acceptable. I need someone to call BC/BS and get the prescription issue worked out."

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Blue Shield said, if you need your prescriptions right away, you will need to pay for them in full and then send in your bills to Blue Shield to be reimbursed.

Ugh. This happened to me at the ad agency. We switched companies, and because of their screw up, I didn't get a card for months. I caught the flu during that time period, and had a fever of well over 101. Dr.'s visit, prescriptions, everything had to come out of pocket until I got the card. Really not cool, and I just couldn't deal with it while I had the flu. It also kept me out of work for much longer than I should have been, because ifin I'd been covered, I'd have gone to the Dr. the 1st day instead of waiting for them to untangle the mess/get enough money to pay for everything. What I'm saying is, sympathies.

In slightly different news, I actually got heat-sick today. I've never had that happen. I'm guessing it had to do with the ozone alert, because usually heat just doesn't bother me as long as I keep water in me. A guy on the job site said I wasn't looking too good, I told him I felt fine, took 2 steps up the ladder and nearly fell backwards. They sat me down with a couple of cold towels and sent me home.

ETA: Not Cass, but

Cass, is there any chance you could say, "This is not acceptable. I need someone to call BC/BS and get the prescription issue worked out."

Usually not. Even if the co. calls, BC will just say rules is rules and shrug.
