Just did my monthly pay the bills and came to one medical bill without an option to pay on line. WTF. Going to have to write a paper check and mail it in. Cannot remember the last time I had to do that. Last time I used a stamp was for Christmas cards.

Wherever I go, there I am.
Welllllll, this day is starting out just DUCKY.

Damn fool painter rang our doorbell at 7.20 this morning. While we are expecting them in the future, they're not supposed to be here until AFTER the plumbing work to take a line to a humidifier in the sun room. There will be some wall patching after that. So...wrong day, wrong house, and the address the guy had doesn't even exist on our lane (six houses on a private lane).

SOMEbody done fooked up...
I only had to pay the guy $20. Tomorrow hes supposed to knock at 6am!

I get a monthly bill for the physical therapy and I don't think they have an online pay option either but I think they told me they are in the process of adding that.

Oh, I know that male Holsteins are a meat source, but the breed is primarily dairy. It just bugs me because there are easily recognizable meat breeds that they could have used,...like my family's Herefords. But I suspect the ad agencies don't even know the difference. :D
Just remember, the same people who came up with Jardiance commercials as the pinnacle of their skills are also at work for the Chik fil a folks.

Maybe it's nit-picky for me, but the assumption is that the cows want people to eat chicken instead of beef, right? So why do they use a dairy breed instead of a meat breed?
Old dairy cows get ground up to hamburger. Plus Holsteins are really recognizable.

Spots are funnier and more distinctive as cows I guess.

I never realized how dysfunctional the whole industry is until I got sick.

"You need to get an MRI"
"I got one last week with the radiologist"
"Oh, we can use that one"
"I assume you two "shared notes" since you were in the same building"
"Unfortunately, No"

This happened at least twice.

I'm very happy with the care they provided, but their system coordination is not good.

Fortunately I never ran into anything like that.
