Yes, there is a light at the end of the tunnel and I can see it getting brighter and feel the warmth of its hopeful rays. Geesh, I sure have gotten an education out of how this medical care system works. It’s like the don’t ask don’t tell policy for gays in the military except they don’t tell unless you ask. It really surprises me what info can be withheld or won’t be offered until your allready up the creek without a paddle or stuck paying an outrageous amount for a medication. It’s not until you start slewthing around and asking questions and gathering info that you find out there are alternatives that can be much more affordable or other ways of doing things. Don’t get me wrong there are many helpful medical care professionals out there. It’s just surprising how many of them arn’t willing to give you more info until your in tears or at your whits end and then they all of a sudden got a cheaper alternative to what you were presented with after your already well into debt with it.
It’s kinda like my accountant who I will no longer be using anymore. She is very thorough yet when it comes to actually getting a quote of what it will cost out of her shes just not very specific about it and gives you the well I charge this much an hour stuff. Well, I finally said, look all I want to know is what your charging for my end of the years taxes, I hear you when your saying how much you charge an hour but that isn’t telling me any thing, can you give me an estimate with what info I have presented to you as to what it might cost. So then she says we will just send you an invoice. I simply said what I need to know if you can tell me what it might cost approximately so that I can make a decision on as to wheather or not to afford your services. She now charges for the end of the years taxes what it used to cost to do all the years statements as well as the end of the years taxes. So its like the same price but just getting the end of the year taxes done. So I questioned her invoice which gave info differing from what she had told me over the phone and her answer was, Well that must be a typo so disreguard that. What would people think if I just sat them down for a haircut and estimated the price and then told them it would be over what I was giving them the impression of what the price would be for a haircut. They would be ticked for sure. I told her I’ve run my business for 12 years and have the prices clearly displayed and if there is something that would differ for a service I let the customer know before doing something and then slapping them with a bill so they can make the decision. I just think that is a plain tacky way to run a business and won’t be funding her operation any more. Ha, I think this is my year to make changes and get rid of people that are just plain ripping me off. 
. WTF? Plus, that doesn’t account for if you ever get sick. I’ve only had health insurance for about 3 years and for one I found I’m rather nieve as to how things work with it when you need to use it and finding myself on the verge of not being able to afford it. Not to mention the crappy treatment I got at the urologists office. For one they injured my arm when the overworked staff member was way too busy, answering the phone, taking in patients, taking payments and drawing blood. My arm was soar for 3 MONTHS! 
. That has never happened to me before so I complained and noticed the next time I went in she wasn’t drawing blood, but still I had to put up with the pain. The urologist had the personality of a cardboard likeness of himself and seemed overworked and tired. When I told him about my arm he rolled his eyes and said, he could only imagine who the gal was. They would call with these automated message with reminders of someones appt. but they had my number down for this person. Then when I would call to tell them they had my number but the wrong person just to give them heads up that the person may not be getting the reminder for their apt. I’d get stuck on the automated message carrosel and wouldn’t be able to speak to a real person and didn’t have time to wait thru it all in between doing customers so then finally a real person called and I was able to tell them that, NO I am not William but you got my phone number down for him. The office is so poorly run and I told them I wasn’t coming back and then they sent me a letter telling me that since I failed to make a follow up apt. that they would not be able to serve me any more but would extend a 30 day care period till I could find a new urologist. I sent a letter back telling them NO I am not interested in your 30 day extension, your suggestions, or your ill treatment and thanks for telling me that you don’t want to help me. I don’t need their help and its kinda funny how they have a monopoly on the urology gig here since they all teamed up and have one place where they all work out of. WHAT-EVER! Welcome to America and the wonderful, affordable health service system. I say, service because its certainly not health care.
. We pulled off the road in a clearing and sat and looked at it. IT WAS AMAZING and how nice to share it with someone your very fond of 
. HOW COOL IS THAT!!!!!!! I’ve been lazy about updating since after my move I’ve been high tailing it to the foot hills to spend time with my honey 
. WOO HOO!!!
or the pink princes style phone like from the 60′s 
what do you want us to do with that, too funny!!! Ha, this phone is so cool and reminds me of the days when you would just sit and talk on the phone. You know like just talk. Not multi-task, like while driving, washing dishes, feeding the rabbit or using the water closet, LOL. How many times have you gotten a call from someone and then hear noises that clearly signify they are at the loo. LOL, we’ve come a long way baby
