both doors? If this is like I think it is - the one I tried on - it has a single door and it is the entire front of the car. The steering wheel even moves aside when you open the door.

Wow. If you had a head-on with a dog, you'd lose.

They are in the recycling. It's the wine corks I don't throw away that are the issue.

Anyone got a crafts project they could use a bunch of wine corks for?

Here's my favorite, here locally to;

I saw a birdhouse made out of corks on facebook.

Great move IMHO. It's taken me doing all of these bird walkabouts to finally get into more of the digital SLR camera functions. I still miss the simplicity of my old Minolta with it's "needle chase" in viewfinder metering. Still the easiest for me to balance out aperture vs shutter speed and was easy to stop up or down.
I'm still trying to better understand the relationship between aperture and shutter. One thing I learned today was don't be afraid to raise the ISO high. It lets you get higher shutter speeds in low light.

continuing to raise my blood pressure..........there's nothing in my claims for this. Nothing processed, nothing denied - this doesn't exist on my insurance's side. Wonder if it didn't get submitted to insurance correctly or something.

Sounds as though you have it figured out. I used to work with benefits several years ago and it was usually common practice for city or some ambulance services to not file to insurance and expect that to be done by the patient. Most people didn’t realize they were supposed to do that, as you become used to providers submitting for about everything else. I usually ended up working through it as people just figured insurance would pay for the charges and kept ignoring the bills until they ended up in collection.

Probably doubled the safety factor after they got them all glued on.

True. Especially with some of ht newer digitals. Old high ASA film = grainy, not as much for digital although you do lose some resolution/sharpness.

Good summer deck party. Think I am going to be "tired" tomorrow.

And yikes, temp is supposed to be 90 Friday! :eek: Sounds like great hangover biking weather. Or not.

I know when I used to help oversee billing for our ambulance, certain insurance companies required the insured to initiate everything. They would reject everything if we submitted it before the patient. Must have thought we were trying to bill them for random people.

Been told that next week I'm getting turned loose on the new job, the one I'm taking to pay for kids' college (because I'm cheap and don't want to spend the cash I saved up for it). The unpaid classes and training I did over the last five months weren't bad, but I'm not at the point of, WTH was I thinking agreeing to this. Do I really want another job, when I had been slowing sliding into mini-retirement with my others? I guess I will see how this goes.
