If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

If it is a legitimate bill it would have said so. It's just phishing. Trash it and explore no further. |

I wouldn't open it. I never, ever open attachments from sources I do not know. There is no reason you would be getting medical bills from a bank. |

Never, ever, ever click on a link in an email not from someone you AND that you were expecting. Even then it is best to copy the link text and paste it into your browser. |

By the way, how are you feeling these days? Have you pretty much recovered from the surgery? |

Tell me about it. I received a sloppy, sloppy-ass letter from my insurance company that looked like it was addressed to me—in many parts of the letter, they hastily swapped the pronouns to make it sound like that—that said because I stayed overnight at the hospital for an outpatient surgery, they were going to cover none of the hospital stay. Absolutely none of it. Had that turned out to be the case, I would have started making plans to leave. I would have dropped my job, my lease, sold the crap I didn't need and left for good as soon as I was able. Getting my gallbladder taken out wasn't cosmetic surgery. And I didn't cause it to screw up; it wasn't diet or poor health decisions or anything else. It was just some random crap that happened. And I have insurance; not the crappy kind, I pay good money for decent coverage. I'm doing my part. If, after you enter into a life-threatening situation, American insurance companies then enter into a game with you, that you don't know the rules to and that you don't even know you're playing, in which the stakes are being placed in Debtor's Hell for decades, tell me what in the fuck is so great about this place. If I'm paying into the system and this sort of crap can still happen, I wouldn't see any reason to stay. It costs, what, a couple thousand to move if it's done right and the distance is significant? Still a hell of a lot cheaper than a medical procedure. Turns out they didn't take into account the time the surgeon was able to do the surgery and the time he was able to get back to me, given his schedule. (Something like that, anyway.) But they tried to fuck me over, so I'm going to keep that in mind for the next time. Never ever trust your insurance company. |

Besides being (justifiably) pissed at the insurance company, how are you doing, Aqua? |

I'm doing awesome, thanks for askin'! I rode 30 miles on the ol' bike yesterday, and it was a breeze. (Then again, the bike I borrowed from my buddy was rad as shit and I had absolutely no business riding it, so that helped a lot) I'm trying to find a way to ride every day—I think it would be about the best thing for me. So I think I'm going to convert my hiking bag into a commuter. It's more than capable, so I think I'll be in good shape. I do that, I'll be able to put in 25-30 miles a day, no problem. |

Yes, no question, it is a scam. Ignore it, delete it. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

I'm okay. Thx for asking. I have a lot going on and am under a lot of stress but that's nothing new. We all have our stuff. If you don't hear from me it's because real life kicks in more often than it used to. 😘 |
