Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[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.

I didn't even know mine was Freddie Mac, but it's the only reason I was able to refi.

All is well that ends in pizza.

The thing is, my house was valued by the 2003 appraiser at $70K more than the current appraisal. And that was before things started really booming.

I'm also thinking extra money changed hands in the 2003 appraisal on behalf of Ameriquest.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Today I got Official Word from the Short-term disability claims company that my morbid obesity and diabetes were determined by their doctor-on-a-leash to be preexisting condition for my staph infection.

That's complete bullshit. As if no one ever got a staph infection who wasn't obese and diabetic. I hope you can get a lawyer and contest that.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

{{{DCJ}}} That's a lot of crap to have to deal with at once; I'm sorry.

Also, I agree with Zenkitty you should fight the pre-existing condition bullshit.

The decision makers for insurance companies should have our ailments--and have to use our insurance.

Way way back in the day I did temp work for a while processing insurance claims in the evenings. I approved everything. I'm sure some things eventually got caught through whatever their processing was, but I figured I at least a few maybe got through that "shouldn't" have.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Jacob on TWoP just referred to my nation's accent as "the sensuous quacking of the Australian." Apparently he is aware that I spent yesterday evening performing Pingu honks.

So sorry, Daniel. That sucks mightily.

Pingu!

Pingu!

The DVDs just arrived yesterday. This order was to complete my Christmas swag. Some weeks ago now, I was discussing with Wallybee the remaining gaps in my Attenborough holdings. I called out, by name, Life on Earth, The Living Planet and The Secret Life of Plants. Then, when I went looking for them online, I found this: [link]

So I placed an order, but it's an older collection, and there were delays. Then I actually bothered to look into it more closely, and found that (again, I'm guessing, because it's an older collection) the order would be about five quid cheaper if I ordered the individual components. I cancelled the original order and composed a new one.

Now the only problem was that the order fell short of the £25 floor for free shipping. (Amazon UK does free shipping to Australia!) Two Pingu DVDs found their way onto the list, because Ryan is awesome. And they just arrived yesterday, to Ryan's delight. Thus it was that his bedtime routine last night included a judicious quantity of Pingu honking.

Of course, the written word makes this all more intelligible than it would otherwise be. For those who would like to replicate the authentic Australian speech experience: quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack.
