I knew it was one of the nicer areas - she's not pressed for funds. But she's not going to be able to drive herself ... and this is an active woman (she's been working with a personal trainer, with remarkable results, which contributed to her injury not being worse).

I appreciate any advice anyone can give.

Just got off the phone with insurance company/collections agency/insurance company round robin of hell. Oh Dear Jeebus. This is going back to Aug 2011!!! And Still it's not completed. I'm sorry. I really do not see how health insurance as we know it is the best way to pay for health care. I'm thankful I have it, but really wish there was a better way of paying for health care.

Teppy, I'm going to have to catch up via threadsuck, but I'm very happy to hear about you and Tim.

I know it's early, but how about mobius wedding bands?

I have an appointment with the endocrinologist on March 26. That's going to be a busy week for me, I have my tubal occlusion scheduled for March 29 and Mom will be visiting during that time (I think).

And I think I'm having a mixed state episode, I'm seeing my pdoc on Tuesday, which can't come soon enough.

I know it's early, but how about mobius wedding bands?

His is going to have to be something indestructible, since he works in a warehouse (I told him I don't give one damn if he chose to not wear his band at work, but he says he wants to), and I'm guessing the twist of a mobius loop would catch on stuff. His is going to need to be flat and, like, carbon fiber or something. (There are carbon fiber bands, and they're cool as hell.)

I didn't talk like Gollum to Paolo the jeweler (who wore one of those godforsaken hipster straw hats -- indoors! dude, you don't wear hats inside! -- which I didn't light on fire, but only because I love my ring so much), but I wanted to.

I'm...wearing a hat inside right now! Harumph.

Do not set the jeweler on fire. </advice you didn't know you had to give>

I was just remembering your posting about sitting in bed making mobius strips ... it seemed kind of YOU.

I'm...wearing a hat inside right now! Harumph.

But isn't that an etiquette thing? In public places, men aren't supposed to wear hats indoors? (I honestly can't remember about women; I feel like women are "allowed" to, because don't women wear hats to church and stuff?)

Because, you know, I am SO BIG on etiquette.

Do not set the jeweler on fire.

It was only going to be his hat!

(I honestly can't remember about women; I feel like women are "allowed" to, because don't women wear hats to church and stuff?)

Yes. I distinctly recall a ruckus in third grade over this very issue.

I'm sorry. I really do not see how health insurance as we know it is the best way to pay for health care.

Go single payer! Choose single payer! Except the only wa to do that right at this instant is moving to another country, which would be a bit over the top.
