    I want my husband to either get a regular schedule with haircuts or start seeing someone who does appointments. He likes this local barber that always has a wait, meaning that his haircuts take longer than mine (wtf).

    If you don't want to hear the answer.
    Don't ask the question. :rolleyes:

    I hate it when people ask a curiosity question,
    then get upset when it's not what they want to hear...or don't want to accept it.

    Went for a nice ride this afternoon. Probably 70-80 miles. Somewhere around mile 60, going about 60mph, I see a large insect whiz towards my face and feel a tiny thump right on the edge of the strap that holds my goggles on. Left side, right above my ear and below my helmet. A few seconds later it hurts, like I was cut. I reach up and feel it several times over the next minute or so thinking I'll see blood, but I don't. Then I realize, I was stung. Whatever it was got caught between my head and the goggle strap and stung me. Got home 30 mins later and it still hurt pretty bad. Had my wife look at it, nothing but a bunch of swelling, though it was hard to see because of my hair. Finally, about ten minutes ago I was rubbing at it again and came away with the stinger on my finger tip.

    Pretty sure I've only been stung twice in the last 20ish years. Both times on my bike. Last time was two years ago when a yellow jacket flew up the sleeve of my leather jacket in northern Michigan. Thankfully I'm not allergic.

    Good thing you are not allergic.

    Because you needed your head to swell bigger, right, Fancy Pants?

    Oh, I know she does.


    Mother of all fucking hangovers is kicking my ass. I've taken 3000mg of ibuprofen and had 48oz of water over the course of the day, eaten a great meal (mmmm Big Star ensalada with pork shoulder), tried a little hair of the dog, and watched a movie in a recliner at the theater, tried to nap, walked almost 2 miles on the night air.... Nothing is helping alleviate the after effects of my stupidity.
    My stupidity in the form of two vodka radlers, two shots of ketel, a "frosen" and a glass of cheap wine. #TooOldForThisShit
    Tramadol and a shower and I'm giving up.

    If Tramadol can't beat it, not much can.
    I hate that stuff, gives me vertigo.

    Tramadol is the only thing that will typically cut through my headaches. Granted, I deserve this one. I only have seven left and no doctor up here, so I try to suffer through the day and only take one at night if I absolutely have to. For the longest time, it was the only way to take the edge off the daily headache enough to fall asleep every night.

    You want a challenge in life???

    Try a 4 day road trip with 2 sisters who speak mostly a foreign language.

    (oh, they speak your language, fairly well...it's just that you don't know theirs...and they lapse into the other when they bicker CONSTANTLY)

    Ugh. No thanks.
    The tramadol worked to put me to sleep for two or so hours. Up since 0245... I sooo need and want some decent sleep. Sigh
     
  12. Thanks! I'm not on here much on the weekends. Glad to know people will speak for me.

    OMG!! Quiet!
    They're all gone. (she went with a friend to send her sister off on her flight tomorrow morning)
    Peace, sanity and serenity.

    Too complicated to explain...but there is something to be said for being alone.
    Now I can rest, get a good night's sleep (no hosting)
    And get my head back on straight.
    So I can focus on my whole list of tasks and issues.

    The vacation is out of the way so real life can stop being on hold.
    Now the next big lifts...
    Continuing school and moving. (and bills...always bills) **Oh yeah, and surviving work and the upcoming deadlines with the end of the FY.

    Does it ever friggin' stop?
    Yes, I know...I know...if it did, I'd be bored

    I hate dealing with insurance companies. And imaging companies that have over $600 credit sitting on my account and no one could tell me. I have a bill bigger than my deductible and I'm sitting here thinking that I'd already paid 850 towards the 1600 so something was wrong. Now we moved, I'm getting collections threats because Aetna was supposed to be reprocessing the claims and "Jenny" is the first person who made any damn sense in the five months I've been dealing with this. So we have 1300 left on our benefits card once I get the refund, and a 1600 bill.
    We just moved and BCBSIL took over our plan. I'm going to lose my shit if we have to meet a deductible again. :/

    So, so glad that I'm married to someone with 15+ years of insurance billing experience. As many bills and statements are wrong as are correct. She hunts them down with a passion. It's saved us a fortune over the years I'm sure. It is amazing how inept various doctors offices and insurance companies can be with that stuff.

    Ugh. I have a $200 bill from my doctor's office because my stupid insurance hasn't paid on a visit I made in February. FEBRUARY! I keep getting bills that basically say "Balance: TBA." It's nuts. My husband's company switched benefit administrators last year and the new one blows.
