Some things are timeless, hmm?
Rolling Stones - Satisfaction (I Can't Get No) Lyrics
“I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no
When I'm drivin' in my car
And that man comes on the radio
He's tellin' me more and more
About some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination
I can't get no, oh no no no
Hey hey hey, that's what I say
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no
When I'm watchin' my TV
And that man comes on to tell me
How white my shirts can be
But he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
The same cigarettes as me
I can't get no, oh no no no
Hey hey hey, that's what I say
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no girl reaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no
When I'm ridin' round the world
And I'm doin' this and I'm signing that
And I'm tryin' to make some girl
Who tells me baby better come back later next week
'Cause you see I'm on losing streak
I can't get no, oh no no no
Hey hey hey, that's what I say
I can't get no, I can't get no
I can't get no satisfaction
No satisfaction, no satisfaction, no satisfaction”
Oh yes, I sure did!
Squeaky wheels and all, but if at first you don’t succeed;
try HARDER!
The below addendum was added this morning to my last night’s
frustrating rant…
“Update: This just in
9:02 A.M. 9-5-13: The co-pay of $2350 was actually paid yesterday afternoon and
they did not have to put me through any of this! Now they will be sending out
my other medications!”
When I called back Accredo this morning I was told that the
$2350 had been paid yesterday in the afternoon! Now why, I wondered did they
call me with that broken recording of needing to be paid that above amount
before I would be sent my prescriptions in that ridiculous message after five
that evening?
Stress is not good for anyone, even the healthiest can
become ill, but people who already have many chronic illnesses it does seem to
have a nasty immediate effect on a few of us. It has been known that prolong
stress can and has caused exacerbation of Multiple Sclerosis symptoms needing
IV intervention or hospitalization with additional residual lessened abilities
resulting as permanent deficits!
Sadly, if they checked their own computer’s information they
would have never sent that repetitive message and yes, my dear friends it was
more than trying to make a point last night since that is exactly what was on
that robo call, over, and over again the same message! Anyway, this time it has
been resolved, for this month’s needs.
Oddly enough, I was dealing with another smaller question on
our home phone and Internet bill combo and so yesterday earlier I called
CenturyLink to inquire about the monthly discrepancies in the amounts charged
to us each month as the consumer, when we clearly should have a flat rate that
should appear identical monthly, barring tax increases, heaven forbid.
And now this sounds silly, but the woman put me on hold, and
I am talking about literally pennies sometimes as much as a dollar or more and
you know what?
She got back on the phone and said that there had been a
mistake and they had overcharged us and each time they would balance it out the
next month and that is why it was up and down, and this month on the bill I
received was actually $1.18 more than it should have been and so she subtracted
it from our bill! TA DA!
See now if you don’t ask you don’t know… spoken by a person
who, now repeat after me HAS WAY TOO MUCH TIME ON HER HANDS! LOL!
In other news…
national as well as local has been reporting for all shoppers to check their
register receipts because too many businesses are making BIG mistakes at the
check out, so you too should CHECK IT OUT!
Make sure you get that sale price you went in there for or
they subtracted your discount or your coupons, just be a more aware and
diligent shopper and you won’t wonder where did all that money go.
I think there are small wars that as consumers of anything
should try to win.
No, I do not think accounting for where your money goes is
being cheap I believe it is being frugal and appropriate.
Math seems to be a lost art with so many business people and
the machines have taken so much of our thinking away and so this is just a
reality check that even the best honed machine can still screw up, not unlike
us human beings and we all need those checks and balances to make it all work
right!
That’s all.
On that thought to chew on and do with what you please…
allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and
ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you
know who and we will too!
And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
PS Most medications can be had for free or at lower cost if
you go to the sources and criteria’s may surprise you, you can make anywhere
from 40K to 100K and still qualify for help and many times the freebies come
from the pharmaceutical companies…!
There is no shame in asking for help. It was hard at first
not having to ever before, but now there is something positive with knowing it
is out there… I learned during the six years I was uninsurable; experience
teaches us to gain our own peace of mind, stress-less-ness and dare I say, some
benign, SATISFACTION!
