WoooHooo! I think I figured it out

Yay, vw!

Grrrrrrr.

I spoke with the dental office and they are all apologies, but gosh, even though I asked them to check on the insurance before hand, they are only there is assist me, it is still my responsibility. Or her father's. Ummm, hello - if dad was responsible, I wouldn't have the kid.

They are willing to take $50 a month and wave the interest. Which, I guess is reasonable. But still...that will take over 2 years to pay off.

It is so frustrating because I love this dentist and they did do good work on C and deserve to be paid for said work.

I may call her lawyer and ask if there is anything else I can do. I just hate having this be about money.

Call the lawyer, {{{MG}}}.

Deena, could you hop on AIM for a minute?

I'm sorry about the insurance snafus, MG.

But yay to vw on getting her insurance issues worked out!

I read a thing in the NY Times today about insurance basically making dealing with the major complications of diabetes (limb amputation and the like) more cost effective for hospitals than working on preventative measures. [link]

The whole thing makes me want to kick someone, but I'm not quite sure who.

Someone with two legs. Asshats.

My mother (who is generally uber-ethical, and has made me into a near-neurotic about getting even 5 cents too much back in change) is fond of saying, "If you can take money from an insurance company, it is not stealing."

After bending over (and over and over) for our car insurance company, I can't say she's wrong.

I doubt this is a true story, but my grandfather was an insurance adjuster and one time he was working on an Indian reservation. Anyhow, he learned that he had been given the Indian name "Walking Eagle", which he thought was pretty neat. The one day he asked someone what the name meant and the reply was "Too full of crap to fly."

Rock! I clearly should've come to the hivemind first. Those are great! I'd been leaning strongly toward this one [link] but was a bit leery of the price. I've already got fleece that would go with it though.

The DH says I can't make his pirate flag into a duvet cover for the baby.

Thank goodness for the fact that my test equipment has been covered by two different health insurances. so were my basic education courses.

This is a good time to say thanks for my brain and willingness to understand my disease.

and to also say that I to like to avoid the mail.
