Pretty!

Oh for sure most billing depts’ number one priority is maximizing payment.  The whole thing is the number one reason I’m an advocate for a single payor system. Far too many of our healthcare dollars are spent on this thing that has nothing to do with our actual care.

This seems like the right place to share a hack from my new(ish) dentist.

Condolences on the loss of your pet.  That’s never easy.  As far as the rhubarb goes, rhubarb icecream is quite good.

Eat whatever it is when you’re really hungry. Your picky brain goes into caveman mode and thereafter recognizes it as food. I got over my aversion to spicy food when one night at a dive bar my choices were buffalo wings or nothing. I was starving and they were pretty good. 

The same thing happened to me at a routine eye exam when the tech asked if my eyes get dry and gave me an OTC eyedrop sample.

It’s really not as simple as that— though it should be. Medical coding is ridiculously complicated and guidance is changing/evolving all the time. Using one code in combination with another or in a certain sequence can drastically impact billing and coverage. And the people doing the code sequencing aren’t even the…

Have you considered that the child death numbers are so low are in part because people were wearing masks, social distancing and WFH?

I agree completely with the cranberry assessment. Boston cream would have been brilliant. The best I could come up with was whoopie pir or boston baked bean.

Taxes?

That’s all understandable except that not everyone has yet had the vaccine. If your kids are 12+ then it’s great. If your kid is 4 and you have to take them to the grocery store with you, not so much. 

This would be fine except that not everyone can have a vaccine yet- like kids under 12. That’s great that you and yours feel safe (truly). It’s messed up that this was eased before the majority could have the same level of safety.

RI should have been coffee milk.  

Some vanilla vodka or pineapple rum would be tasty in this.

That sounds delightful.

I hope that trump is the end result. My fear is that we haven’t yet seen bottom.  

This phenomena is why I can eat a half box of cereal trying to balance out the last few bites in the bowl.

The chips in Canada are def for you-  poutine, dill pickle, ketchup, all dressed...

It’s like they’ve been in my house. I do this with movie titles and everyday household items as well. 

You do not need to feel guilty about doing something that you want to do. It is not anti-feminist or whatever to take care of you and yours first.
