Ours drops in the summer even with the air going almost 24 hours a day.
We have PUD's out here local electric ours come off the local dam.

My Mom's Electricity comes from Shasta Dam and is about half the cost per KW as my rate.

Good morning Old Folks. Got a row of pink eye purple hull peas planted early and not headed for my first shower of the day and then we are going to shop and visit at the farmers market before some shopping at the supermarkets for more staples we cannot grow. Mainly the buy one get one sale items on this weeks ads.

The other day, we got a whopping bill for all my medical regarding the chemo. Dh called. They couldn't get into my account to fix it. They transferred him to the IT dept., since they couldn't get into the account. IT couldn't get into it either. They kept bumping it up the chain of command. They were going to call Dh back. That part has never happened.

In the meantime, he called his insurance rep at his former job. Humana may continue as a specialized insurance agency, but a few months ago, they announced that they're phasing out regular healthcare coverage. Dh's former employer chose another company to continue with. The new insurance was to start on Aug. 1. In the process of changing things over, Humana put a freeze on all the accounts pertaining to that employer a couple months ago. Our insurance doesn't require pre-approval, so there are times that the processing of claims takes place awhile after the date of service, or proceedure. Yes, it will be taken care of, but can't go through the normal channels. In the meantime, I haven't gotten my insurance cards from the new company.

I just read this morning that Humana is dropping a lot of coverage for some procedures and things that the have been covering for Medicare Advantage clients. I'm worried that UHC will too.

Good morning Old Folks Insurance sucks for old folks.

I told my daughter that I thought it was that they found out I have some medicare coverage (only Part A), so they froze the account, thinking they could hit medicare with it.

Necessary shopping done and home in time to beat the rain so we didn't get wet unloading and getting groceries into to house. Now a nap is needed to settle our Moho chicken lunch.
