DYK wow, your list is a lot longer than mine!

DYK today (after I slept through class), I went to the gym, went grocery shopping, made two tester recipes (peanut butter cookies and caramels dipped in chocolate), wrote a memo for work, put the spaghetti squash in the oven, marinated the tofu, and poured myself a glass of wine.

DYK I feel so adult having wine before dinner! I had never even opened a bottle of wine before. I had to buy one of those corkscrew things today because we didn't even have one.

dyk our current Rx plan SUCKS


dyk it has a $500 yearly deductible for both of us so all our Rx were out of pocket - so our meds are both on the $4 generic plans


dyk so insurance or not, we can continue to get our monthly Rx for $4. ;-) LOOOOVE that.

dyk another thought about health insurance?

dyk does Sean's employer offer a Flexible Spending Account?

dyk it's where you take pre-tax dollars out of your paycheck that goes into an account to use for uncovered expenses (deductibles, copays, anything else that's not covered)?

dyk sometimes it's hard for people to say, okay take $xxx out of each paycheck, but the fact is that you save MUCH more money in the long run since it's pretax dollars used for expenses you are incurring anyway?

dyk does that make sense?

dyk you should look into it?

dyk that's the dream right there - a flex spending account that we can put into the private HSA ;-)


dyk but alas, his work offers neither.


dyk the # of employees covered by the dealership is so low that it's very limited - even at $1,000 the coverage was TERRIBLE. Unless you had multiple transplants. Then it was decent.

dyk I deal with difficult people pretty frequently, but no one can upset me like my mother


dyk my mom has lots of first cousins and she was close to most of them when she was a kid


dyk I just got an e-mail from one of them, telling me that another one (who has cancer) has just been moved into hospice and is not expected to last the week


dyk thinking that my mom would rather hear this from me than getting an e-mail, I called her


dyk for my troubles, I got yelled at


dyk and reminded of all of the reasons why she is no longer close to this cousin, or
