Good to see a plan in place.  Hope the first option works out well for you!

Are you drinking now, Bill?

I'm being all thinky here right now. You are only 19 yet YOU may have had too much to drink you don't remember, hmmm...
You are only 19, yet you were able to tour the facility in San Jan with the bat logo on the bottle, hmmm...
You are only 19, yet your daughter is how old? 14, isn't she? hmmm again.

I think I'm being bamboozled here!

It is a specific bottle of rum, look it up. I always have a bottle of Pyrat XO Reserve at home. It's a toss up between that and the Wild Turkey American Honey as my favorites. Cabo Wabo is good stuff for Margarita's, too.

We were slinking down the page again, THAT IS NOT WHERE WE BELONG!!!

Neal and Bill, are you out on an alcohol run now?

Where are my west coast folks? I have a computer out in San Joaquin giving me fits, can someone please go reboot it?

How's that workin' out for you since Kurt Cobain is dead and they broke up in 1994?

Do you have some sort of time travel machine you aren't telling us all about?

If he does I think he needs to share. I need to go to a violent femmes concert again.

Seriously, I'd like to go back to the day after I graduated high school please!

Do you have an extra ticket for the concert?

TOPPAGE!

Icky doctor visits! Hope it's nothing too serious--just a checkup maybe? we don't need any more gouhlies sick!! Robin-I might need some of those miles too, so don't sell them ALL to Bill! My shin splints have been acting up and I am waaaay behind in my half mary training plan. I don't think I'm going to make it through 6+ more miles in the next few days. Not without another flare anyway. Plus I was sick yesterday and didn't do any workout at all. (Is that a sad enough story to warant some free miles? Pretty please with sugar on top??)

Dangit!!!! I was so close!

That's cool Neal!

I'm sure I could come up with one! Do you like them? It's weird--I am embrassed to listen to any of their songs with my 13 year old in the car--but I was never embarassed when I listened wth my parents in the car! Weird, huh?

You can try it, but IMHO I think you will end up paying most of not all of the fee. Wrong or not, he did still spend time seeing you as a patient. It's worth a shot though.

Hi Ann, Hi Bill! (Is Neal still here, too? hi Neal!)i can't believe i'm actually in the village and not all by myself!

I have Add It Up and Kiss Of on my iPod.

I listened to them all the time in HS, along with Depeche Mode. I had 2nd row center seats to a DM concert but got grounded and couldn't go. Can I take the time machine back so I can go to that concert?

This is a bit odd for you to be here in the morning.

I have to agree with Ann. But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't let him know what you did find from another practitioner. Sometimes it's good education for the first guy--and any doctor worth his/her salt is always up for that. Recently my hubby broke his collarbone. He was seen in an urgent care clinic, xrays, broken in one place, here's your new sling, yada yada. 3 days later he says "something's not right", so I call and get him in with an ortho doc same day--turns out it was broken in 2 places, and was overlapping 3+ centimeters. Required surgery within 2 days. This at the same time he was supposed to be traveling out of the country for work. A month later, I get the bill from the urgent care clinic--with the charge for the office visit, xray and $475 for a "surgical". WTH????? I called and made a stink with the billing department, and told them the huge snafu with missing the bad part of the break. They immediately took off the $475 fee. And hopefully they let the doc know what a mistake he made. (I know I should care more and make sure he did, but seriously, the guy put a mask on to come into the room to see someone who wasn't sick. And no, the doc wasn't sick either.). Moral of the story--it never hurts to ask, just approach it in a nice way, and follow up with the doc by phone/email if at all possible. You're more likely to get somewhere with the bill if you're nice (but firm and clearly not happy) about it.

Wow, sorry that was so long! Guess I had alot to say. Funny part is the billng people treid to tell me that is a normal charge and that the doctor's care is much different once they know it's a broken bone. Yeah, right. I work in an urgent care clinic, I know what the charges should be--and what care goes into a broken clavicle vs. a broken arm (etc). BIG difference---no casting, splinting, or anything time consuming with the clavicle. AND he MISSED the important part of the break!!!! OK. Shutting up now.
