TELFIE



Coining new words is not difficult, and getting spell checker to accept them is not that hard either, but getting the world to go along with the concept no matter how tame or lame maybe a whole other game… but many have succeeded… and I too would like that consideration... why I have snuck past before, haven't I?

I have decided to call self exhaustion caused by self frustration by self resulted in severe all over bodily pain is now and forever is to be known as the, “TELFIE”.



You have those who enjoy those self picture framed, self indulgent, self portraits of the electronic nature called, “SELFIE” s, but I have my own ways to diminish my abilities by self indulging in day long practices that cause, pain, anger, frustration and possibly another exacerbation of my Multiple Sclerosis, called yep, now say it after me, “TELFIE”; clever?

No? You see, it is my first letter of my name with “T+elfie”, odd that I did not know that the suffix of “elfie” would come to mean self imposed instead of a cute little person, a Santa’s helper, hmm?



That’s right this type A persona gal started off her day on the wrong foot/wheel, and called her bank trying her monthly aim in getting those rewards collected monthly to be cashed into her checking account as I do monthly, unfortunately end up calling. Although, it is suppose to go in AUTOMATICALLY, so I have been told since March of 2012! This is a bit more complicated the amount of the rewards is stating we have $19.15 on one page and $27.76 on another; tallied page all for this month!

The rule is that anything over $25 you can cash in with a ten percent bonus which would mean that we are owed $30.54, and that is what is in question, and so they are trying hard to figure it out… We have gone back to using the card again for everything, since we receive 1, 2, and 3 percent accordingly to whatever we spend on 2% is for groceries and 3% is for gas, while 1% is on everything else.

Any-who the report went in and within ten days it should be credited to our checking account, where I have designated it should go,



Healthcare.gov since they kept sending me emails saying I have messages waiting for me, five same emails today alone!

But no message can be seen when you log in!

I called them and told them to stop sending them since it doesn’t work and they insist they cannot stop them, no one can, what?????



My insurance agent for the insurance that I have been working on...he emailed me to let me know that he had received my actual subsidy amount and it is twenty-five dollars less than what those calculators said, at only $296!

I suppose better than nothing, but now that platinum plan is going to be $510.22 a month, but sadly it is the only one that truly suits my needs the best and so Hubby and I discussed it and that is what I will be taking, its first premium is due in December, but so is my last for this one that I am still on! It will be tight, but thankfully I’ve got it…the money that is, since I already put next month’s aside for next month’s last premium for this bad insurance that means any needed incoming monies after the first of December will be going to the January premium due in December around the fifteenth, got it, I do, don’t you worry then, okay, wink, wink!



Now for a double check I went to Florida’s Blue site like my agent recommended in the interim to do, to verify my doctors are with them…

And boy did I get a scary surprise!

Each name I put in to their doctor find section was not there!

How horrible I thought.... and was I upset and so I called the number on the site and asked them what’s up with that?

Since I didn’t want to get my agent in trouble, he's a nice guy, the same age as our youngest son with a wife and two daughters and so I did not mention his name.

The fellow walked me again through the process and boy did I feel stupid!

I had just given him my spiel about being on computers for over thirty years, blah, blah, blah… and do you know what I stupidly had done?

A big rookie dumb move… I mixed up the first and last names order, putting the first names first and the last names last, not the way it required them the other way around!

GOSH, how ridiculous is that?

Don’t answer that; and thanks for that…



The only one of the doctors that appeared to have a full list of which insurances plans posted that he accepted was Dr. Helgemo the hand orthopedic surgeon and I couldn’t find my new one, and so I asked the fellow and he said that the name is BlueCare, not all that other stuff about platinum and HMO etc, just plain BlueCare, since I had called and their billing said that they did not accept the one I described. I foolishly got angry when they appeared to be making the issue not about Florida Blue but the fact I was even using the Affordable Care Act, and healthcare.gov., even when I explained that my insurance agent was with Florida Blue and that he was writing the policy!

Anyway, the woman in their billing dept., Maryanne, there has the patience of a saint and said that she would check into it even when I told her it was just the BlueCare on their list, in fact the eighth one on it… she even walked through the site with me to another section that had its actual name and said that he was not on that one!

She asked who told me and I said Florida Blue did, and she said that she would call them and get back to me before December, since many people they deal with will be going through what I have been too, all in all she was way too nice to me, when I was not as nice to her and so I felt the need to apologize… Hubby said I did too much today and he was right, again!



By the time I did my shower and shot, he had to do my shot since my pain was that great!



I am in TELFIE induced pain as I write this, and for that I hope I have learned a very important lesson, don’t take on more than you should in one day… heaven knows I have way too much time on my hands usually and that means a calmer me when pacing myself to deal with these little upsets that the world also has to deal with too!



I did a week’s worth of trying to straighten out issues in one day foolishly creating a self induced, TELFIE!





On that note of TMI, as usual, 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 those overages with you know who and we will too!



And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
