RANT: Still haven't been approved for my huge money saving health insurance switch. The company contacted my doctor for my records. Seems I'm dead. Ooops. I went to the office today. For the last couple of years I've only seen my doctor when taking Lee. The doctor did the usual stuff for me, but I never needed anything -- except my usual diabetic prescriptions which he'd issue. But he never charged me -- he just covered me on Lee's bill as if it were one office visit for both of us. But when Lee died, apparently my records were with his and they got "filed". So the new receptionist told the insurance company that they had no record of me. At least they didn't tell them I had died -- that might have killed the deal!

So now the records are on their way. Hopefully I will still get approved, but they seemed dismayed when I said I hadn't had a physical for two years which was a glowing one, and I've not had any treatments for anything at all since then -- nor any reason to see a doctor. Seems they would rather have an unhealthy person who has to see the doctor all the time. Go figure.

RAVE: Early this summer I spent a day in Ft. Lauderdale with a friend of a friend who was buying a townhouse that was in foreclosure. He's a teacher and this was his first house and he had no money to spend. I helped him with drawing out furniture placement for the furniture he had, talking about how to do the closets. They had no shelves and I drew out some plans as he and a buddy wanted to do them themselves from Lowe's or somewhere. And I sent him paint colors for the walls that I thought would be perfect for him. He thanked me then, but I hadn't heard anything about it.
Well Saturday he had a big housewarming and I went. I was shocked. He did every one of my ideas. All the colors were my selections, even the closets are exactly as I suggested.
I never thought he'd really paint the kitchen bright red as I suggested (he has modern white and black furniture with just a touch of red accents) but he did, and it's fantastic. Everyone was raving about his choice of colors. I told him now that I know he used my ideas, I'll send him my bill. LOL
