Effing insurance companies. I'm sorry for the madness, Toddson and smonster.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think we should use RICO on the insurance industry. Something that scares the Mafia might be strong enough.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Really, can we just have a blanket smite?
No. The conservative side of the Senate doesn't want us to have such nice things.

Does this sound okay as a thank you email to my co-workers (they had my work shower on Thursday and it was really really nice)?
Thank you all so much for such a wonderful shower and the crazy generous gifts. We have already put the stroller base together and wheeled the car seat around the house as well as testing the monitor and our plan for the baby gates. Not to mention admiring the adorable clothes and bear, and placing the sweet trinket box on baby’s dresser. What a great mix of baby necessities and fun stuff! We love it all!
We had a blast at the shower with those of you who are local, and missed those of you who are not. I am so lucky to work with such a fun and caring group of people. Special thanks to DS for hosting and making such great food!
Thank you all so much!

Toddson, your insurance company is pure evil.
Thanks for all the calm -ma. I have the gift wrapped, and I am working on telling my brain to chill.

Our wings are not tired.
Sounds good, Glam.
Which reminds me I need to get something for my niece. She and my nephew are big on swimming and live on a lake. I was thinking of a swimming float like this [link] She is due in February so the baby should be ready for lake fun by summer. Since they are in NY I can't easily see what they have already.

Then I get a letter from my insurance company saying that they're not covering my appendectomy. Reason? I was healthy afterwards. Turns out that they're objecting to my having been admitted to the hospital - they think that, since I was healthy and didn't have any complications, I should have been put in an observation room for a few hours and then sent home ... which would have been at about 2:00am. So, due to this objection, they're not paying for any of it. $19K and change. I spoke with the hospital and they're writing it off as uncollectable, which is a relief, since I don't have that kind of money lying around.
That's totally fucked up. I would make sure that it doesn't affect your credit rating. If it appears on your credit report, write a letter of explanation and keep all of the paperwork.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I'm not a doctor, but...isn't being healthy afterwards kind of the point of surgery? At least the hospital is being reasonable about it.

At least the hospital is being reasonable about it.
Which is good because I'm sure they made you sign a waiver to make you responsible for the expense even though the hospital made the decision the insurance objected to, not you.

You'd have to worry if it weren't the point. Randomness.
