My South American friends have convinced me that I need to head out of the US for my dental work. The price difference is just insane, even with insurance. Neighbor 2 doors away just got back from staying with family in Peru to get his work done. With insurance here they wanted to still charge nearly $4000, so he went home and got the same stuff done for less than $400. And mini vacation with family. I'll probably just plan to visit a friend in Ecuador who can get it all arranged for me. I wouldn't rely on Google reviews, but I would trust people I've know for many years to hook me up with a good dentist.

That sounds like kind of an awesome plan, Laura! Even if it's a sad commentary on the US health system.
I just signed up for a "lullabye yoga" class that a friend has taken a bunch. And then after I signed up she was like "Actually, I'm worried if I know you're there it'll stress me out and this is what I do to combat my insomnia and can you cancel?" Except I signed up online and it won't let you cancel

!!!!!! I think she needs more than yoga.

Yeah, she has some serious sleep/stress issues.

And so talking about my nutball insurance shenanigans wound me up so I went and pulled old dead telephone line from the second floor. My coping mechanisms, don't use them.

they're no longer going to offer our current plan
Buggering. I feel I should go kiss my HR department for their shenanigan-free insurance policies.

I really needed that swim tonight, damnit.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Seriously. Despite the ACA, one of the reasons I stay with my current job is the decent and stable health insurance. It's a bit pricey but worth it to be shenanigan-free. Insurance ~ma to everyone dealing with shenanigans.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
One of my work friends invited me to a knitting night. Yay, being social!

I'm just working (still), even though I don't need to at this time of night.

It's not Tim's job that dropped it; for some reason Humana has decided to no longer offer the plan we have. Dicks. So I'm sure Tim's company's insurance agent will pull together a similar plan and we'll be fine, but it's unnerving to hear on the day Tim learned about his new cancer drug regimen.
