Coffee's ready...

With the same logic, does that mean that if my car would happen to be hit simultaneously by two cars, and it would be totaled, I would get two new cars? Annoying when insurance companies try to weasel themselves out of paying. I usually try to read the small print pretty closely. For instance, in the case of a nuclear incident, we would not be compensated. But if a satellite crashes on our house, our insurance covers space debris damage. Seriously, it's mentioned in there.

I called. She reassured me it was just for the repair part of the bill. One estimate for the fencing and one for the house. Whew! I guess I'm a little leary these days. What with dealing with insurances around DW medicals and all.

I got one bill for $250 and when I called she says don't worry about it we're waiting on the insurance, its covered blah, blah, blah. I called because it said it was going to collections and we'd just gotten the bill the first time! Then why the heck are they sending me the bill??

I've actually overpaid at times.

Good morning chicken wranglers,
Or should I say insurance wranglers? We had a claim on our home owners earlier this year, a pipe busted and flooded the house,the pipe was not cover to be fixed but the house was? that is how it works I guess, they have to make money and picking your pocket is easier than many other ways. WE had the comp company in to look at our policy yesterday , it s up for renewal, and I am having another company quote it also.
The present carrier asked me if he could keep it down to a 3 or 4 % increase would I commit to keepig it? I asked ," why do I not hear the word decrease ?W T H ? He knows he has competitors what about that? Have a great week end!
God Bless !

Morning people,

I hope this finds everyone doing well and enjoying this weather. You have a choice of slipping in the mud or ice around here.

Spring made a showing this week. We are down to about 4", maybe up to 6" of snow left. Bare spots around the base of trees are appearing. The raise beds have been letting themselves be seen. Gearing up for planting/chicks. I put some garlic in (first time) and wonder how it is doing.

One thing I learned last year with the medical insurance companies is to question the bills from the medical professionals. I had my knees worked on again last spring, and received a bill from one of the doctors. Showed the total cost, what the insurance paid, my copay, and the remainder that they said I owed. So I called the insurance company and asked what was up, they told me to ignore the bill, they were paid. The insurance also sent me a letter with call number/case number for any problems in the future relating to this bill.

Anyways, back to work I go.......
Received a nice order for a end table, coffee table and entertainment center. And the best part, no rush, I have a year to make them.

Two more weeks till vacation.........

Enjoy your day

I can remember way back when.....................


I kept getting these bills back from the workers comp fund. My accountant at that time, said just pay them. After about 6 months of the never ending billing, I called and said I wanted proof of what I owed. Letters were sent back and forth, calls were made, no proof from the except bills with interest. Well on day, I had a bad day and this poor lawyer call from a collection agency regarding this matter. I went up on side of him and down the other. I chased everyone out of the shop (you could say the Irish took over). About for 4 weeks later after not hearing anything from the lawyer or workers comp I get this register letter from workers comp which contained a nice big 4 digit check from workers comp. The poor lawyer call a few days later seeing if I was satisfied with the check. It seems I was over paying them for years. Everything went back to normal with a once a year bill from them. I also sent my accountant packing and hired a new one but with a closer over view of what was going on.

Enjoy

Good for you. You gotta keep an eye on things.

My dentist got over paid and didn't send me the over payment until I called.

Governor Cuomo wants to pass a law saying they have to wait 6 mos. before they can send a bill to collections. Why? Because the insurance industry purposely holds things up.

Morning people,
I hope this finds everyone doing well and enjoying this spring weather. Looks like it is going to dip into the teens for a few nights next week. Nothing much to report on the home front. The ladies are going to the city tomorrow. I'll have the whole house to myself with no honey dew list. We burned a pile of locust this year, besides just generally burning more wood.

Trout season starts in a few weeks, but I am looking forward to the striper bass season.

Enjoy the day

Snow here today. heavy and wet. oh and cold.

Got at least one coop clean and another nearly clean. Just need to scrap the last of the crap out and then dump some shavings.

I need more compost space. I really should have snow blowed to an area to dump the stuff. I might try that later.

We cleaned the coop today too. And I emptied the compost to make space for the spent bedding. It had only cooked for a few weeks, so it was still pretty hot, but I suppose it will be okay as long as I let it rest for a while.

I had to repair the nestle taffy machine yesterday, Ever eat laffy taffy? I have been repairing the gear boxes on the pulling machines for 15 years. Maybe they will buy new ones and put me out of a job!
God Bless!
