Just got a write-off EOB this week. Touching.

The term “write off” on a medical bill or insurance EOB is so precious. Yes, make me, the one with no choice in it, feel like I’m causing your suffering.

I quit a small locally-owned pharmacy where I’d done business for 25 years because the pharmacist/owner had to mention his write off to me every visit. Then, after the ACA was underway, he lost his mind. He bitched out my doctor one time because the Rx was incomplete.

The last time I was in the store, I told him, “Target has no problem with any of these things.” 😀

EOB = explanation of benefits
ACA = Obamacare

Back when “portable TV” meant something that one young healthy person could lift without ripping apart a rotator cuff, crushing a back, or getting a hernia.

Sometimes you knew the carry handle on the top of it was a cruel joke.

I just got the email on this one.

It’s the Melania Trump designed and signed Christmas ornament. One of the many. Comes with one of those useful NFT’s.

Is the perfect gift for friends and family of any political persuasion.

Your friends overseas will especially want one, but they will be too shy to ask, so just go ahead and send one out.

I predict a roaring black market for them in those been-f****d-over countries, like Germany, Cuba, anywhere in Latin America really. Such a gift will help them come into the fold of righteousness.

I could eat it every day.

I could live off this Honduran, Salvadoran, Mexican. Maybe throw in occasional Jamaican and a Golden Corral buffet.

It’s been quite a few years since I’ve done a recital. This past spring I made the commitment to put together a recital for the end of summer. It was originally schedule August 13th, but I got the dreaded Covid 4 days before. Now the rescheduled date of October 8th is fast approaching. This is […]

Recital Time

It’s the stunning view from my hotel room. It’s not bad, actually. I like that there are not many people here.

I think some of the cars in the parking lot are in working order. At least none of them are on fire.

“Can you help me top up my cell phone?”
