"Let someone know how special they are to you." "Keep your feet on the ground even though friends flatter you."

"You will learn something knew every day." "You will discover your hidden talents."

The first two that I used for my title were mine, and so here goes... You are all very special to me and I love the fact that you read my blog nightly without me having to twist your arms!
And each and any time that I have had any at all kind words thrust in my direction have my feet never ever once, twice or thrice or more ever left the ground!

As you may have guessed the next two were Hubby's and he has promised that today  he learned that he needs a drip cap for our courtyard shed's roof, and that his hidden talent is yet to be realized... but more possibly a shed roofer?

Hubby and I chose our favorite Chinese food restaurant, China City, to have the honor of preparing our dinner tonight!
Odd as it may seem Hubby could not get through to their place of business to place our order, but after several tries and his determination to succeed and my concerns for their safety or possibly a broken phone system for their business and might I add that depends on phone orders for their livelihood, so he decided to drive over, being the good cop. (It is way past snowbird season, seasonal guests, and it is mid-week, so being too busy did not enter our thought processes)
It turned out when he got there that the phone had not been hung up properly and they were very thankful that he told them!
We have been customers of theirs since they opened several years ago.

This blog is late due to talking to Fla Blue, their abbreviation of Florida Blue Cross and Blue Shield, after I found out from a newer agent that we will probably go with this fall that my first three office visits with my GP has no co-pay at all after that only $15, and so I called to verify and they said that they credited my account with the one they did charge me for.
That was the GP's office and I also found out that due to some type of mix up I was given a three quarter charge co-pay that Fla Blue suggested that I was responsible for and of course I always pay when I believe I owe and so I had and now according to them it must be resubmitted....
As far as the exorbitant hospital bill goes for only about two hours in the ER, it was well over $18K but my responsibility was only $75, so far, not counted the PA who they said was an MD we will see where that goes! I am going to be going over this bill and all the incoming ones and make sure they are correct; I am most billing offices worst nightmares! I have found hundreds of dollars of mistakes even with insurances as well as with the IRS paying us back several hundred while still in business in NJ years ago! I goofed paying the next day on that first bill and according to Fla Blue they have not even received that bill or my cataract surgery one yet!
They did receive all my MRI's.

Exhaustion with talking to all those people, and even with their i.e. Fla Blue's answering calls in a very wonderful timely manner! Used to wait hours, literally, foolishly, two hours or more just to talk to someone who would have to hand you over to another person, talk about frustrating!
As I expressed it was like a religious experience waiting the one minute for my call to be answered is a vast understatement!

I did get one touchy grouchy guy who seemed to be talking from his own home, I at once rushed to the wrong judgment he was speaking to me from his home! I thought, yes I really thought I heard a dog barking in the background and to me that was the last straw with them, but it turned out to be a co-worker, who sounded to me like they might have a bad case of bronchitis! And that is what insulted the guy who told me he couldn't talk to me and said he would get someone else and put me on hold after less than a minute I hung up, I wasn't going to be a victim of telephone waititis ever again. I felt confident it would be safer to call back and take my chances that I might get lucky with someone else and not too long a wait time, and fortunately it was a smarter move on my part, since it did work!

Somehow I was able to glean my necessary info and how to proceed.

So that is why this is sooo late, and for that I am or should be forgiven if anyone out there cares at all?
On that note of let us all hope, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you all 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?
