Love isn't brains, children, it's blood, blood screaming inside you to work its will.

Spike's Bitches 28: For the Safety of Puppies...and Christmas!  

[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.

{{{vw}}} I'm sorry. I hope this can be fixed easily. Don't beat yourself up too much.

{{{MG}}} The dentist needs to find a way to fix this. They should have checked the insurance first.

There are two issues with this. I had given them the information about his insurance ahead of time and explained the guardianship situation. I thought they had checked to make sure the work would be covered.

Second, I know that her dad should be the one to pay the bill, but I also know he doesn't have the money.

Any chance the state could cover it? Mom can get a certain amount money per year for particular needs of foster sis. It's like a grant.

{{{vw}}} We all have days (weeks!) when we avoid the mail. It's sometimes unpleasant being a grownup. I'm very sorry you have to deal with all these insurance troubles -- it seems cruel that we (society) put the people who need help and care through this.

{{{MG}}} I hope calling the office reveals that the doctor is a mensch.

As for me, I have conference calls or meetings today at 9, 11, noon, 2, 2:45 and 4 p.m. Ick.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Hugs for MG, vw, Kristin, Nora, Cass, Deena, and anyone else who wants.

Thanks for reassurance and ideas about Harvey's hair loss. I have seen other signs of allergies, and I will observe more closely to see if he is doing anythin different, by way of sleeping funny. I know he has been sleeping on top or in front of furnace vents, but do not recall any unusual positions.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Trudy - I'm not "official" yet, so I can't get anything from the state. I should be granted "temporary legal guardianship" soon, which will give me those rights.

I forgot to bring the notice from the dentist to work with me, but I'm going to call them in an hour anyway and say WTF. They saw her twice, if I remember correctly. Once for an eval and once for fillings. The appointments were separate enough, if the first wasn't covered I should have been notified before the second.

Ugh.

It might (this likely varies by state, naturally) be worth looking into what WILL be available once you are and the possibilities of them taking care of it retroactively -- Mom had FS for a while "unofficially" for a while and I think they were able to tweak some things (what with being in the instability business and all).

Mostly lurking...

WoooHooo! I think I figured it out. I feel all grown up and shit.

Of course, because I'm late in signing up, my coverage doesn't start till February 1, but it looks like MassHealth will cover me until then. Whew. That was a stressful morning. I'm hungry. Think I'll go get some french fries.

move out and draw fire

I have a letter from BlueCross/BlueShield saying that my amnio wasn't really covered by my insurance and I owe them money...it's been sitting on my desk for a couple weeks. Looks like it's "Deal With Healthcare Insurance" time, so I guess I'll be an adult and open it.

I'm this close to making my own crib linens. I've canvassed the entire internet, and only found maybe 5 sets that might work in Mal's room. The few sets that have the right kind of color (strong jewel tones) are very girly, with roses and peonies and such.

What I really want is a set of Jolly Roger sheets, or maybe King Arthur.
