I got the Medicare thing figured out.

Finally free from the Marketplace Obamacare Anthem where every time I called them they lied to me. Where they wrote one thing for my policy and then went against everything they promised and admitted they had printed it a different way from what was real.

They actually had the audacity to contact me and ask me if I wanted a Medicare complete policy or a supplement policy with them.

When I got done laughing and ripping the mailing in shreds, I threw it away.

Celebrating tonight Rum and pizza sounds like a plan.......Oh, and brownies. Back on diet tomorrow.

Oh yeah, rum and pizza, right down my alley..

@Alaskan
AL,
It is good to have you back. Take your time getting back up to speed. Your loss deserves the time necessary to grieve. We're here whenever you feel like you want to talk.
It looks like the cemetery is in the central Texas wide open spaces. What a beautiful resting place for your Dad.
I know you are very proud of your sons. You should be. You and spouse are doing a great job raising them.

Maybe you could get SGC to send you her broody turkey hen? You know, as a coop warming gift..........

More than happy to oblige... she's still broody and I have no idea what is under her. Nor any desire to go under there and find out.

[QUOTE="chrisb01, post: 20194881, member: 514780"]I wouldn't know, but it would be good to know.. I am now also in the Veterans Choice program, I pick a dr or clinic near me and the VA will approve them.. Then I'd go there and the VA picks up the bill.. However, this is something I've used once.. I drive to the VA hospital in Tampa..[/QUOTE]

May I offer some advice? If your Choice provider sends you somewhere else, be sure they put in a request for another authorization for the referral. Many Vets have been struggling with bills because Choice only authorized, say, a referral to a podiatrist about your arch, not to the surgeon the podiatrist referred you to.


AL!!! Welcome back, even if it isn't back back. Thank you for sharing the lovely pictures and story of your son.

That poor Married Rooster looks like my bantam boys. Man are those birds hard on one another. I'm almost looking forward to them molting so they get new feathers in. They don't have all that many to loose anymore, LOL. Several look like featherless rubber chickens.

I had something interesting happen with my alpha rooster the other day. I watched a hen get mobbed by 5 of the boys and decided that maybe I'd pull the two most senior roosters for a day and let the girls get a break along with the less dominant males. I pulled Twonkie and Indy and put them in the bachelor pen. It took about 15 minutes for them to realize where they were and weren't. Twonkie stood at the fence, gazing at his flock and started to cry his heart out. I've never heard such a sound come from one of my roosters. It was a full throated wail over and over again. Indy got up on an outside perch and set there with his head hanging down, totally defeated. They broke my heart. Without hesitation, I gathered them back up and marched them back to their girls.

I'll argue with anybody who says they don't have emotions and aren't aware of what is going on around them as far as bonds to their flock mates are concerned.

@Alaskan. Thank you so much for sharing those pictures with us. You must be so proud of your boys and the inside of your church is beautiful. I've always been partial to church architecture and interested in other people's faiths. Thank you again, and deepest condolences on the loss of your beloved father. Mine passed in 06 and I miss him to this day.

Back to work this morning. No more sitting in the AC studying. Back to the wood pile!
