When it was commercial time , me and my Mom went
downstairs and one of the dance soldiers was there
and I got to meet him.
He was very nice !!

Jack has discovered his vocal chords are quite stong and
he LOVES to use them.

Finally I said to Jack
"Can you just zip it "
and he replied
I can , but I don't want too..

Wait until I am less tired and tell you some of the other

Halloween

Astronaut Jack !!!
Thanks Nona for my astronaut suit.
I was the ONLY one with this costume !!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I wish they would quit taking pictures
and get started with the
trick or treating !!
<><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Pa says I look like I am flying in this one

****************************
Jack & Tigger

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I made a good haul.
There was all kinds of good stuff in my pumpkin

<><><><><><>

I LOVE THIS STUFF !!!!
Just as I was enjoying my candy, the door bell
rang and there were sooo many kids . Every time
I would get busy, the doorbell would ring AGAIN!
I got to see many cool costumes , but none as
cool as mine !
I got to hand out candy to them. It was so much fun
then we ran out of candy at 8:15pm so Pa & Mom
shut off the outside lights and
unplugged the BIG pumpkin.

***************************
It was a good night , me and Mom
and Ma & Pa went all over
the place.. And when I got tired
Pa put me in the basket on the back
of Ma's bicycle and I got to RIDE HOME !!
It would have been more fun if my dad was here

Baptist Health Therapy Center, Sherwood, AR

Once again the fine medical profession in the State of Arkansas
has proven to be a bunch of ASSHOLES
I called and made an appoint to try once again to find a
primary care physician in the 3rd world country of
Arkansas.
The usual questions on the phone ..
No Dr A , is not accepting new patients, No Dr. B is not
accepting new patients and so on and so on
* * *
So I tell the dim light that is the receptionist ,
why don't you tell me WHO IS ACCEPTING new
patients and that way we don't have to go thru
the whole freaking alphabet.
She informs me Dr. Riley is
taking new patients..
***
Fine , I would like to make an appointment with Dr. Riley,
Okay, she says, why do you need to see the doctor.
ONCE AGAIN -I tell her
I am LOOKING FOR A PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN
Oh, your not sick?"
NO ! I AM NOT - I need to get set up with a PCP
****
Why do you want to see the Dr. now
WTF-- What did I just tell her ???
&& &&&
Jeez , let me expalin it to you ONE MORE TIME
I AM LOOKING FOR A PCP
I would like to meet the individual that will be taking
care of me if I become ill..
^ ^ ^ ^ ^
<><><>
First , she has me sign the sign in sheet - no problem
I start to sit down.
She need me to check the info on the sheet
I agree it is correct and I go to sit down and she calls again
I need your insurance card.
Fine
She hands me a stack of papers to fill out
and I give her my insurance cards.
***
She is looking very bewildered at this point
I told her - you asked for my insurance info
OH-- You have QC and medicare ??
Yes I do
She turns around to make copies of both cards and 2 old
hawks swoop, down on the copy machine and now the
3 of them are looking at the cards and then back over their
shoulders at me then back at the cards.
* * *
Then the "QUEEN HAWK" comes to the window and informs
me "We are Baptist and we don't take
new patients with medicare ". She never mention the QC
insurance card. I told her , I also have QC.
She replies "But you have medicare"
YES AND I HAVE QC also
this is not registering with her at all.
At this point she is getting herself wound up to give me a
lesson in insurance
I DON'T THINK SO !
* * * *
WTF!! You could not tell me that one the phone
and save me a trip down here?? I had to be subjected
to people hacking and coughing for you to get on your high horse
and treat me like a leper??
I told her give me my paper work, she started to say
something and I told her
Give me my PAPERWORK NOW !!!
I tore it up threw 1/2 of it on the desk
and left.
************
CAN ANYBODY RECOMMEND A
GOOD DOCTOR IN MY AREA??
HELL, AT THIS POINT , I REALLY DON'T CARE
WHERE THE DOCTOR IS , JUST SO I CAN DRIVE TO
THE OFFICE IN UNDER 3 HOURS
