Say it here cause you can't say it directly- the get it off your chest thread (Part 1)

Is it Friday at 5 yet?

Last day in Turks and Caicos. It’s been a very relaxing trip - Just what we needed to combat some of the stress we’ve been under for the last couple of months. It will be tough getting home to the cold, but we are thankful we could take some time to de-stress.

Time to get out the shovels, it’s getting deep all up in here!

I don’t mind the mild winter this year. Last year was terrible.

You realize now that since you’ve agreed to pay $75K a year with loans for your oldest daughter, that your other 4 kids are going to expect the same?

It’s not “very unique,” or “really unique,” or incredibly unique."

Unique means one. It’s unique.

But I fear this ship has sailed.

OK online wine seller - I chose only wines that “ship today”, and that was last Friday. You’re still telling me that it will be delivered on Tuesday? LAST Tuesday? Give me a tracking number or I’ll punch you.

Wish some of the people in the next big city north of me would send ME their snow! Really haven’t had any this winter or last and wish I could build a snowman!

You give me only one day to retrieve my shipped item when it is YOUR fault for not recognizing my mail box number. I hate you.

Snow, please stop now. And don’t continue throughout the weekend. I need to get there on Sunday morning.

I’m frustrated with “man-splainers.” Guys, really, it makes you look insecure & kind of pathetic.

Lesley Stahl said in her book that sometimes it sucks to be the paternal grandmother and she is right. I’ll just leave it at that in the interest of discretion.

I had an epiphany that women are really really really not viewed as full people in our society. I’ve been fooling myself for decades but it’s just become obvious to me.

Just made low carb cupcake cheesecake
can’t wait to try!

Wish our regular pharmacist was here instead of on vacation today for folks’ Shingrix shot. Oh well, 1st world problems.

Maybe I should have bought lining papers
but still taste good

It’s not Twitter.

I don’t get sick very often (fortunately), but this bronchitis is knocking me for a loop.

Oh boy oh boy - Wonder Woman is on HBO

Dear large healthcare provider who has eaten up each and every independent office and group
yes, we are now stuck with you. H had to go for three office visits. The first to listen for pneumonia - lungs were clear. Second visit - X-rays and a rapid influenza test. Determined you had pneumonia. Third visit, a pre-scheduled discussion with PCP reviewing tests our health insurance company recommended. Glad I was sitting down
total out of pocket costs for these three visits
drum roll
$725. Nope, not a typo. Your charger rates ARE your negotiated rates. You refuse to provide your rates. I figure our previous provider - before being absorbed into your network - would have run about $250 for all of the above.

You are scum. You have taken over the market in this area. Your recently destroyed evidence required for a class action lawsuit against you. But it’s okay, I am going to file grievances and drag this out for months.

BTW - there is now a law which states I can choose to be a cash pay patient (at your 30% discounted rate) any danged time I please. So don’t pretend I can’t take that route.

H goes on Medicare in December. You will have his business - and the reimbursement rates of about 12%-20% of your current rates. I hope you choke on them. I, the high paying individual will take my business elsewhere.
