And the insurance idiots are trying to piss off a LEO with a LTC? Do they have a death wish?
Indyellen I am very sorry for your loss.
This! Your dentist is required to send your records to your new dentist, and your new dentist will do everything needed to get them once you sign the required paperwork.
Lacunae how is it that you haven’t just gone insane yet? Or died from the stress? Stress really does kill people, even if the diagnosis is something else. Workman’s comp issued the check and then stopped payment on it? Holy shit.
Here I was just going to complain about cats walking on my keyboard again. Slinks out of the thread.
No word on what will finally be done by the bank, but as of now, they’ve moved our negative balance over to the savings account (which is a piddly thing to begin with - usually just a small cushion for the “oh shit” <$100 moments in life,) so that anything else that hits the checking account will process without fees. And MIL made a deposit that will bring us back up to positive numbers, if we can convince a decision-maker at the bank to waive the NSF charges. We’ll still be broke, if that’s the case, but we won’t be in the negative. Fingers crossed!
We’ve already consulted with an attorney who specializes in workers compensation, after the insurance company started making noises about not covering surgery that the ortho recommended. The insurers have also begun an internal dialog about settling the case - a fact we aren’t supposed to know, but we’ve seen one of the e-mails from a higher-up in the organization, thanks to a kind little birdie. I think it’s time to unleash the proverbial hounds.
The whole “armed LEO storming the insurance company offices” scenario has already played out in my head. Which is why Tony is the one dealing with them right now, and not me!
Why do they have to be proverbial? Just press the button!
Conversation to have with the Dentist (as I have had before);
You: I’m paying for this, right?
Them: Well no, your insurance… (cut them off)
You: No, my insurance which I pay for covers N amount. I pay the rest out of my own pocket.
Them: …(doesn’t matter what they say)
You: And since it’s MY mouth, and I’m paying for it, we do what I want. Clear?
Any guff and that’s my last visit with them.
Is that available in the App Store? I need that one!
I shall release them upon GrumpyBunny’s dentist, as well, if I can get the free version with ads! If I have to pay for it, then it’s time to start training my own hounds…
Also, fuck work reviews, on behalf of SeaDragonTattoo. And pukey cats.
As I mentioned to Boy 2.0 just a little while ago, I’ve used the word “fuck” more in the past 24 hours than I usually do in half a year. If anyone else needs a random internet stranger to say “fuck [something,]” just say so - I might as well get it out of my system!
My review ended up going really, really well. The rest is a miniscule complaint compared to physical and financial pains being posted about today! Jeez, this is just a shit day all around, innit? It’s not even Friday the 13th yet!
::Taking donations for the paid version of The Hounds app for Lacunae::
The stop payment is horrifying. I can’t believe they did that.:eek:
Heh - maybe training my own hounds would work! Send the Pyrenees in to bark madly and overwhelm the potential victim with her sheer size and the volume of her voice, followed by the Jack Russell to trip him. Then the Belgian mal can have a tasty meal, and I can save on dog food!
Also, since I overlooked these:
Fuck IBS, and fuck Subaru head gaskets.
That’s completely uncalled for. I’d do down and yell but I’m getting by on about five hours of sleep a night. The three year old has been a germ factory since she went to preschool. DH and I are suffering through the agony of the night cold she gave us. I can’t get both nostrils open so I wind up breathing through my mouth which dries up and gets me awake two hours earlier than I want each day. Meanwhile DH coughs up a lung each night. The little one imitates his coughing which the older one finds hysterically funny so she eggs her sister on in the mockery. It’s a good thing they’re cute.
Fuck hacking coughs and sleepless nights, too!
Wow, Lacunae, you’re fucking everything tonight. I mean…
NM
(Hope things get better for you guys pretty soon; it’s about fucking time, huh?)
Here’s my and my husbands schedule for the next 2 days.
2 wakes
2 funerals
We lost two close friends over last weekend - unrelated except for their ages - 51 and 53.
Two more fucking obits for our wall.
God DAMN IT!
Fucke everything for everybody! I’m grumpy and crampy, so I’ll join in just because.
Pterryis dead and the world is a poorer place for it. Fuck everything.
I mean I’m happy he’s escaped the ravages of Alzheimer’s, and reunited with his old friend DEATH, but … fuck everything.
I just realized that I left my wallet at home today. Had loose plans to meet some people for happy hour drinks, and now I have to cancel. I normally work until 6 or so, so by the time I’d go home and get it after work, the happy hour would already be almost over.
Eh, at least I have some IPAs at home.
Fuck Alzheimer’s, and I wish Death had waited longer to collect his friend.
Terry, we will miss you so.
I think I may cry for a bit.
Fucking arthritic thumb joints. It’s like spikes being driven into your hands. For someone who does woodworking and who is trying to learn guitar, it’s agony, and nothing effectively damps it down. :mad:
OK, FOX Business News! I’m calling you out!
You are regularly playing at the gym, often with sound off. Normally I don’t care. I no nothing about business or stocks. I have no idea if what you saying is true, biased or whatever. Not my thang.
Today, however, you tease a story about Michigan no longer being the ‘Wolverine State’. When the story starts, that header is at the bottom of the screen. “Wolverine State No More”.
The story is about wolves. Wolves making a comeback and maybe getting off the endangered species list.
Wolves. Not wolverines. Jumping Jehosaphat! Do you not know that wolves are not wolverines??? Not even related to wolverines? That wolverines are relates to…WEASELS!!
Wolf.Wolf - Wikipedia
Wolverine! Wolverine - Wikipedia
Nobody in your office went to Michigan? Or a Big Ten school? Or a fucking school?
Doesn’t it make sense, then, that Michigan would no longer be the Wolverine State? Now it will be the Wolf State instead.
It’s still dumb, but I think they know the difference between wolves and wolverines.
