'War Stories'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I still haven't seen any bill at all for the birth of my son. Who is four months old. I actually called them the other week, because a friend of mine had the first notification of a similar bill when the collection agency called, and the woman poked around in my record and discovered lots of incompetence and screwups, and said I should see that bill eventually (it's a simple copay; I already know what it is.)
Ridiculous incompetence.
I hate the way they go at the weakest link (us) so quickly and with such intimidating language. Anything under about $70 I'm going to figure is really my responsibility--or at least not worth the time in research. Ten times that amount? Damn skippy I'm going to let things ride some while the behemoth insurance gets its ass in gear. Too often this stuff is because they won't play nicely together, and everyone gets an attack of the passives.
This is why I certainly keep all my medical bills and all my EOBs.
Yes, I and a couple of others around here can attest to the fact that brain tumors are distinctly lacking in up-sides.
My brother mostly deals with the experimental lab end, not so much the treatment end. Mice, rats, petri dishes and manufactured cells. Today he apparently met with some kids and parents. It's a sobering reminder of what he's really working on. I mean, I'm sure he's aware of that on some level on the day to day, but he's missing his kid today and people are...personal.
I think asshat is coming into common use. Just heard it on Ghost Whisperer.
I don't know if I'm Jew enough for JDate. I don't observe the Sabbath, and bacon is fantastic.
Really, very few people on JDate, at least in most cities, are observant. Most of the observant people have moved over to Frumster by now.
Frumster! Sorry--that's a great name.
And the lady when I called made it seem like it wouldn't be quite that immediate them repossessing my car or anything.Heh. I got one of those the other day but it *was* about my car. For something under $37... They'd just ignored my last (automatically sent by the bank) payment because it was for more than the total loan amount.
Finally caught up with S60...maybe I'm reading different gossip rags than Sorkin is, but I'm pretty sure I've never read anything, ever, anywhere, about a President of Programming at any network. Ever.
S60...maybe I'm reading differentI am finding that the less I know, or more importantly think, about Sorkin, the more I like S60. Ignorance is entertaining, not bliss, but it will do.
