Benefits, Burn Bans, Critters and more

Just a little something to help you have cool thoughts..

This was March 1992

Ft. Collins, CO

****************************

August is here and it arrived hot and angry,

*

Burn bans every where you look, lawns are getting

crunchy and the worst part is the critters got in our

garden and ate every cantaloupe and tomato!!!

*

Tom managed to get a few bell peppers before whatever

got to them. I am sooo pissed, We have had 2 melons

and they were so sweet , I was waiting (and drooling) for

more. So much for moving into town.

***

Serena & John offically have a "SOLD" sign

on their house. So in just a few days , I will have

my babies back home.. YEA !!!!

**

I am going to take a beading class this afternoon, just

for something to do to occupy my time,

especially after they leave. I will really be lost.

***

Tom screwed up his knee at work yesterday.

He went to the clinic- they sent him for ex-rays,

and gave him a shot and some pills. He is

trying not to gimp walk, but he can try all he wants

I know how bad knees feel and I know the walk.

Of course he is at work today. No sitting it out .*$&!%$%#&

Never Mind-- Let's not "gimp" down that road..

***

Of course the dogs are still shedding -- clumping whatever

you want to call it. If I would have saved all of this hair I

could have built a winter shelter in the back yard.

So between the dog hair making me crazy and

our so called "benefits package" for

medical insurance- I was on a roll yesterday.

**

You call the numer -- excuse me --

"THE HELP LINE" - Which is a real joke.

Glad I was not bleeding or didn't have my foot

nailed to the floor. All you get is the )#&!%^$

voice mail. Then you listen to many many prompts,

and yes you can get them in English or

SPANISH!!!

**

You finally leave a message and then you wait.

I have been waiting for 3 days to hear back about my diabetes

testing supplies. My meter broke- so I am not testing.

I am guessing.

**

Also had question regarding prescriptions I will be

taking the rest of my life, so to me that means they

are maintentace drugs.. Uh UH - Not to the "Benefits

Company". So that means I have to run to the

pharmacy every month to get 30 pills and pay the outrageous

co-pay of $30. I have a friend that takes the same meds,

Her co-pay is $15 for a 90 day supply.

SO tell me -- who is getting the "BENEFITS"???
