I'm getting the idea that the whole premise of insurance is to tell us "we'll pay if something bad happens to you" and then not paying when that thing happens.
A subset of capitalism's premise, "Everyone makes money! Just not you."

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I’ve been told it is resolved and money will be direct deposited into my account.
Fingers crossed because Mac still doesn’t have a paycheck (next week, fingers crossed) and rent is due.
Tonight I drink.

No, it will definitely make my commute worse.
That sucks. I'm sorry.
I'm also sorry about the insurance difficulties, msbelle.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
That's complete bull hooe, msbelle. Especially given you've been a customer for 27 years, they should show a bit of the loyalty that you've shown. And have that money deposited today. Then drink.

I’m sorry, msbelle. Insurance companies are evil.
Still in waiting room. Over 7 hours now. Procedure was supposed to be 20 minutes. It took 2 hours? Per the board anyway. But it has been 4 hours since he went in for the simple 30 minute dealio. Going to ask at desk again.

Desk called and they said they had to give him something more for pain and it would maybe be another half hour. No word from doctor or anything.

Somebody should be talking to you when the surgery is taking much longer than expected!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Woke up at 5 for no reason(alarm is set for 6:30) and did the wake-up-go-back-to-sleep-lather-rinse repeat thing. Ugh.

Ack. The yelling person is back. Still unclear on location and motives, cannot see them from my house. But sure can hear them!
I woke up in the middle of the night convinced (maybe from a dream?) that I absolutely have covid and was freaking out at 2am. Thankfully when I woke up at 7, I felt fine. Tonight, the Pride game for our womens soccer team!

Enjoy the game! The yelling must be so disconcerting.
DH is in a LaZBoy snoozing. Some of the delay was computer issues with lab results. Then delay for complex surgery ahead of him. Then his was complex. But he chatted with surgical resident who was from Germany at length and feels good about outcome.
He’s doped and I’m resting.
