-i can see---- maybeeee--- getting measured for a wedding
dress... but socks????? which started me asking questions--- first answer
was-"don't worry about it medicare covers
it"
medicare would be billed $260 for the fitting and then $1500
for these special socks.
it would be against my core belief to let that charade to be
connected to me-- furthermore-- maybe a lot of retired folk have time to get
measured for socks-- i don't.
luckily theresa found some nearly perfect soccer socks for $8
a pair--- and then earlene found some socks for professional players -- heavy
duty-- that come with directions ---and marked right-- left for
$19.
i have never seen a soccer player running around with saggy
socks-- these do cling to stay up-- no problem..
... and i realize that if medicare billed the $1760 they
might only be paid $210----- however even at $19 a lot of people made a
profit..... the other $191 of medicare money went somewhere besides the cost
of the medical care..... my guess it went to the paper and ink manufacturers
CEO's vacation fund.
you think i am kidding????
listen to that ad "get yourself a hoverround at absolutely
no cost to you"
that is why some in the gov't want to cut expenses for
education-- heaven forbid we raise children who can think.
***************
i don't know what today's schedule is-- i hear earlene will be
here today - she has th e week off...
we are letting these dogs out in the house more and more--
before we shuffle them out to th enutt house..
hillary let these out into the office area about 6am and they
are getting ready to nap one hour later-- it is increasingly
quiet...
camea fun-- we did get the rover on to the wifi that covers
the whole property-- relatively painless-- but the camera-- or encoder does
continue to malfunction... like every 2 hours we have to diddle with it
encoder not ready is a new error for me.. we unplug everythign
and replug and eventually it goes again . the cure is a bit
random...
*****************************
having mentioned socks---- i have to include this joke-- which
is the total result of my 4 years spanish language study..
spanish speaking man goes into store to buy some
socks and can not think of th e word
for socks-- after a long guessing game the clerk
finally shows him a pair of socks
and he says "esso si que es" and the clerk says
"why didn't you tell me you could spell it?"
4 years spanish.....
