Stupid Dilemmas. What's Yours?

Well, talked to pharmacist tonight and moved all of my and H’s Rx to follow my favorite pharmacist. The pharmacist seemed pleased. Just switched my preferred pharmacy on my electronic medical records now too.

Early on in 2020, the assistant to our office manager left because she and family contacted COVID. She was responsible for all my billing, and did quite well. Someone new brought in, and it has been unsatisfactory. I’m the last one attended to. This results in patients not being billed for 6 months, past the deadline to be paid.

So now I’m making the big decision to move my billing out to another company. To stay with same company and split my data is a $900 fee. So, better to start anew and I put in all the data. This is going to be a steep learning curve for me.

Getting paid is not a stupid dilemma! Good luck with your new billing system

That sounds incredibly frustrating. Good luck. I suppose you can at least remind yourself that learning something new is good for the brain…

I hope you didn’t lose a super high amount with the billing situation though. I know if you still billed me after 6 months and I knew I owed someone money, I’d still pay it. I’m well aware that many would not though.

If I were you, I’d cut my losses and switch to the other company - a fresh start!

Thx creekland. Unfortunately, I can’t bill those people because it was the office fault. I haven’t been able to bill people for 2021 deductibles, as so far behind.

Well, I did make a choice. They require electronic records kept before billing, so will take work. But I’m moving forward.

This isn’t a dilemma so much as a “should I or shouldn’t I.” We’re going to see the musical Hair in a couple of weeks at an outdoor theater in Balboa Park. I still have two garments from that era that I could wear for fun. One is a handkerchief dress (pretty sure it faded from the original colors; sat in a drawer for decades) and the other is a fringed leather vest (worn to a few costume parties). Would it be too silly to wear one or the other?

Also just tracked down my May 1971 Playbill for Hair at the Biltmore Theater. Fifty years!

I love it! We did something similar for a live outdoor production of Mama Mia. It was so fun!

I’d wear the blouse. The fringed vest is beyond my comfort level.

I’d wear whichever one makes you happiest. The top would be easy. The fringed best is fun too. If not for this event, when? You could even wear both!

It’s actually a dress, not a top - and not as mini as I remembered!

Unfortunately my leather mini skirt no longer fits LOL. I tried the vest over the dress but it doesn’t look good.

I think either is cute. I’d probably choose the dress and maybe tights or bike shorts if I’m setting in the grass, just so I wouldn’t be self conscious.

for outdoors in a park I would do jeans with a top and the fringed vest

@kiddie — I’m sure that would look great.

I love that we are all excited for you to go have some fun and wear something that highlights the theme! Enjoy!!!

It’s a real theater, just open to the great outdoors. So I can sit properly.

I’d wear both the dress and the vest with leggings underneath the dress. I think its a
far out look, man! Peace!

I would wear that dress for other occasions, not just as a theme/costume.

Had a good talk with 4 law firms—my initial estate attorney (who referred me to), a special needs trust attorney (who referred me to), a better special needs trust attorney (who referred me to) & a Social Security attorney.

He encouraged me to apply for SSDI on behalf of my Disabled Child based on my SS work record so she could qualify for Medicare insurance and payments. He said to keep in touch and let me know about what is decided so there can be an appeal as needed (since my application is very likely to be denied, as most are).

He said he’d work with us to appeal after our case is denied. He was very struck by the various places we have sought and obtained care and treatment for our child and feels that will be helpful in building her case.

S doesn’t seem to begrudge us supporting D as he has quietly not been cashing the checks we give him when we give her checks for support.

He also said no need for us to track down medical records of all her providers, as that tends to be costly. We can have SS request them instead.
