NOT A VERY INSPIREED DAILY DOGGIE TODAY- IT REALLY STARTED WITH A TUNING FORK....
SUCH CONFUSION OVER MY COMMENTS ON PET HEALTH INSURANCE- COUPLE PEOPLE DIDN'T READ TEH DETAILS AND SENT ME ALL SORTS OF BANKING INFORMATION.... WHOA THERE !!! THIS WAS TO PROMOTE A SEPARATE SAVING ACCOUNT TFOR PET VETERNARIAN EMERGENCIES...
I HAVE HAD A COUPLE PEOPLE TELL ME THEIR PET INSURANCE HAS WORKED WELL.
WE HAVE SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE AN "EMERGENCY" INSURANCE AND PAY FOR TEH REGULAR VISITS THEMSELVES.
ONE RECIPIENT DID SEND ME PROOF OF HER $4000 ACCOUNT JUST FOR HER SERVICE DOG.
IT IS SURGERY THAT CAN RUN UP...
THEN THERE IS ONE VETERAN WHO HAS VA COVERAGE FOR HIS SERVICE DOG, AND ... SOMEHOWW...... HE HAD-- IN ONE MONTH-- $22,000 EXPENSE ON A PERFECTLY HEALTHY DOG-- THEY TESTED AND XRAY'D THAT DOG FOR EVERYTHING. ALL NORMAL..
I DON'T MEAN TO PICK ON VETERNARIANS ONLY-- ( REMEMBER MY HUSBAND WAS A PHYSICIAN) - I REMEMBER- LONG AGO...I WAS PUT IN THE HOSPITAL FOR TWO DAYS- I CAN'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHY --- IT WAS BEFORE I WAS ON MEDICARE AND HAD BLUE CROSS.......... BUT LYING THERE WITH NOT MUCH TO DO, I BEGAN TO KEEP TRACK OF ALL THE THINGS THEY WERE TESTING ME FOR- ONE PHYSICIAN SHOWED UP TO TEST MY HEARING ( BEFORE I WAS OLD- HEARING WAS NOT EVEN IN QUESTION) HE WAS OLD.... HIS TESTING DEVICE WAS SO ANCIENT THAT THE HINGE ON HIS LITTLE LEATHER CASE WAS LONG GONE AND IT WAS HELD TOGETHER WITH AN ELASTIC... HE MADE NOISES AND I RAISED FINGERS APPROPRIATELY-- AND WAS PRONOUNCED HEARING OK... WHEN I WENT OVER TH BILL TO BX HE HAD BILLED OVER $500 TO PERFORM THE TEST AND ANOTHER $400 TO "READ" THE RESULTS...
I WAS HORRIFIED AT HOW MUCH THE HOSPITAL HAD MADE BY MY HUSBAND STICKING ME IN THERE TO GET POKED AND PRODDED BY EVERY ASSOCIATE HE HAD IN THE PLACE...
IT IS NOT JUST MEDICAL.....THIS IS TEH KIND OF THING THAT KEEPS COSTS OF EVERYTHING UP IN THIS COUNTRY. IT IS THE AMERICAN WAY.. HOW TO SCREW THE SYSTEM ANDMAKE MORE PROFIT...
REPLACING CAR TIRES. IN THE OLD DAYS-- YOU GOT OUT AND TOOK A PENNY AND STUCK IT INTO THE TREAD OF EACH TIRE WHHICH WAS THE WAY TO JUDGE IF YOU NEEDED NEW TIRES.
NOW YOU MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR YOUR CAR TO BE LOOKED AT.. YOU PULL IN THE REPAIR PLACE-- A VERY CLEAN GUY IN A WHITE SHIRT WITH CLIPBOARD COMES AND TAKES YOU R CAR AWAY TELLING YOU TO GO SIT IN THEIR WAITING ROOM WITH 10 OTHERS AND DRINK COFFEE... SHORTLY HE RETURNS AND SAYS THE COMPUTER HAS DECIDED YOUR 2 FRONT TIRES ARE MARGIONAL--- AND SHOULD BE REPLACED -- BECAUSE ---"YOU CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO BE STUCK ON THE HIGHWAY NOW WOULD YOU?" SO YOU BUY 2 TIRES--- THEY PROBABLY SELL YOUR ORIGIONAL TWO TO SOMEBODY ON CRAIG'S LIST.
*****
NOW TO REALLY PROVE HOW BONEHEADED STUPID I AM WILLIN G TO BE... AS IF YOU ALL NEEDED PROOF... I WAS IN THE COMPANY OF 2 OTHER MEDICARE PEOPLE--.. ( OLD PEOPLE) AND THEY BOTH HAD HAD A TEST DONE ON THEM, I NEVER HEARD BEFORE . AS PART OF THE ROUTINE PHYSICAL SOME DOCTOR HAD PINGED A TUNING FORK AND PRESSED IT IN THE CENTER OF THERI FOREHEAD AND THEY WERE TO TELL THE EFFECT.. BOTH HAD 2 DIFFERENT RESPONSES- AND BOTH WERE TOLD TO GET AN MRI.
TO BE SURE THEY HAD NO TUMOR...
I HAVE BEEN TO ALOT OF DOCTORS IN MY LIFE- AND NOT ONE EVER PRESSED A TUNING FORK TO THE CENTER OF MY HEAD TO DETERMINE IF I NEEDED AN MRI..
I SUSPECT THE MRI MANUFACTURERS GAVE THIS TEST A NAME-- AND A DIAGNOSIS CODE FO R MEDICARE- AND WHO'S TO BE THE WISER...? "YOU WOULDN'T WANT ME NOT TO ORDER AN MRI AND MISS ANY TUMOR YOU MIGHT HAVE , NOW WOULD YOU?"
IF ANY OF YOU CAN TELL ME HOW IGNORANT I AM OVER THIS TUNING FORK DEAL.. I WILL PUBLISH IT TOMORROW... AND I AM WELL AWARE OF THE TUNING FORK ON MY EARBONE FOR HEARING TEST... THIS WAS CENTER OF FOREHEAD .
************
WHO AM I TO TALK?? I JUST ORDERED A REDESIGNED PLANNET DOG HARNESS FROM CHINA-- TO SAY THEY WERE MUCH CHEAPER IGNORES THE FACT THAT I HAD NO WAY OF LOCATING ANYONE HERE TO MAKE THEM.. AND MR MOON IS VERY PLEASENT AND CAN ORGANIZE THE ENTIRE PRODUCTION WITH UTMOST EFFICIENCY .
***************.
I DID WATCH OBAMA'S SPEACH LAST NIGHT-- I COULD NOT HELP THINKING ... THERE GOES 8 YEARS OF A CLASS ACT--- NO EX- GIRLFRIENDS,-NO SCANDALS, NO PENDING LEGAL CASES,NO WORRY ABOUT WHAT HE WOULD LOOK LIKE ABROAD, NO INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATIONS.-- AND SHE PLANTED A VEGETABLE GARDEN WITOUT ARGUING WITH REPORTERS ABOUT WHICH VEGGGIES TO PLANT..
*********
I SOMEHOW THINK THE VEGGIE GARDEN IS A THING OF THE PAST-- WHO WOULD CONTINUE IT?

MOVING ON...
