Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

tommyrot, I think this tumbl from Knut might be relevant to your interests: [link]

Heh.

I'll be in my bunk.

Also,

Do not have bronchitis.

Yay!

My insurance does not seem to be calculating it that way.

It reads:
year to date deductible amount $3250.00.
year to date out-of-pocket amount $2500.00

I do not want to call and sound like a jackass, but those 2 should be equal, right?

Is it an hmo, or do you have a different in- and out-of-network out-of-pocket?

Reasons those numbers might be different:

- Your deductible amount includes money spent on out-of-network expenses, but you're out-of-pocket is only including in-network expenses.

- Your deductible amount is the family deductible, but the out-of-pocket is individual.

Just talking about health insurance makes me itch. I think I'm allergic.

My blog post today is a bit of Halloween flash fiction that appeared in GWW a while ago. [link] The post before then was about my novel COG which is currently in the hands one of my agent's readers [link] Somehow I'm avoiding e-mailing my agent every day to ask, "Are you done with the edits yet?"

Yeah, I am just giving here the out of network #'s - there is the same issue with the in-network #'s - they do not match. both categories are for family - at least that is how I read the info. I am going to email HR and set up an appt to discuss with them. I am so not inclined to pay this medical bill - I feel certain my insurance should cover all or most of it. Bah.

Then yes, the OOP should be greater than the deductible, not the other way around. :-(

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

From way back:

And somewhere in there we need to go to Nashville to hang with our musician buddy and talk to his wife about our work.

And come hang out with me and meet Rose, right??

msbelle, ugh on the insurance sitch.

We finally finished painting the guest room this weekend, which enabled us to unpack a bunch more boxes. The house is looking and feeling a little more like home. The last major puzzle piece will be deciding what to do with the bookshelves, which I suspect will mean buying some new ones, but we're holding off on that until we hear about the job M interviewed for in Germany. Which should be any day now...

Also, it's been cold enough the last couple of nights that we've started putting Rose in her footie pajamas to sleep in, and she's totally fucking adorable. Just thought you all should know.
