Still No Resolution Nailed Down on My Top Surgery
I’m getting frustrated. There is still no resolution nailed down re my top surgery, although the Insurance Commissioner’s office says the procedure cannot be denied if coded properly. (The receptionist assured me that she coded it properly, but it’s coded wrong in the letter I received from her when they wrote to ask me…
Bernie Sanders: Quixotic or Practical?
In a dream I had last night, a professor of some kind whose class I was in kept mentioning the word “quixotic” in ways that made it appear he didn’t know what the word meant. Finally I couldn’t stand it any longer, and I raised my hand. When he acknowledged me, I asked,…
Corona Virus is Far From a Laughing Matter
Corona virus is far from a laughing matter. Here in Washington State where it apparently landed in the United States first (we’re a seaport state with a lot of Chinese commerce), the corona virus has devastated one senior care community and infected several other counties, too, including my own. It’s in Lakewood, in…
Not Rolling Over Yet — The DEM Campaign is Far From Over
It seems that many of my moderate friends expect me to roll over, now that Joe Biden has fifty more points than Bernie Sanders in the delegate count; otherwise, I’m deemed a “spoiler” and am threatening the ability of the “presumed” 2020 standard bearer to unite everyone in time to defeat Trump on November 3rd.…
Fanaticism 101
FANATICISM 101 “The stupid is strong in this one.” At first, Trump called the corona virus a hoax perpetrated by Democrats. https://www.aol.com/article/news/2020/02/29/trump-calls-coronavirus-hysteria-the-democrats-new-hoax/23937129/?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9zZWFyY2gueWFob28uY29tLw&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAEg2SQCpOY44hyECHzb41N_eq7lOe6ktaRp44_ktqgvpFjqFQXPdDa6jco3tTGuiGleSrFoYOp2DYc2QUassCQ1Xkl9R83xI6bzTcsOexC0nimHIs4UXJh702AGZvdFE8s6dHi-dVa2anfbdu9MMNC2b5FqsrSx0BRS8HDrToB-W Next, he called it a minor threat, nothing to worry about. https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/donald-trump-coronavirus-work-reaction-095155632.html Now, his fanatical base is saying it was “planted” in blue states by Democrats to discredit Trump, and…
Bernie Sanders Will Win Big on Super Tuesday
Super Tuesday is March 3rd, just two days away. And it looks like Bernie has the lead by wide margins in at least twelve of the fourteen states, including the two largest ones, California and Texas. But that won’t end the race for the nomination of the eventual DEM standard bearer, even if Bernie…
8 BERNIE SANDERS’ POLICIES You Just GOTTA Love
Whenever I hear people fuming or fretting over Bernie Sanders’ policies from now on, my retort will be, “Please tell me: What part of ‘government of the people, by the people, and for the people’ offends or frightens you?” Then I’ll wait to hear the answer, respectfully. Now that Bernie Sanders’ march toward the…
Played Pickleball for the First Time in Ten Days Today
The day after seeing Bernie Sanders at the Tacoma Dome, I fell ill with a killer cold, so I’ve been laid low for the past ten days. Today I felt recovered enough for the first time to play pickleball, although I didn’t know how long I’d last. Turns out I lasted the usual two…
My UW Doctor’s Assistant Called Today
Yay! I just heard back from my University of Washington doctor’s office about my concern over the lack of available online information about her. One of her assistants called me to answer the questions I’d asked in my letter (there were several) and we had such a good time, we didn’t even get to…
Red Tape
GRRRR!! The University of Washington, where I’m scheduled to have my mastectomy, sent me a letter with three questions to ask my insurance companies before my consultation on April 2nd. It arrived Friday afternoon. So, immediately after getting the letter, I called United Health Care since their office was still open, to ask the…
