to charge me for my ER visit. Seeing how I have Tricare, they cannot bill me anything. No co-pay, no cost share, nothing. Since they have a contract to see military pts they have to accept what Tricare pays them and they are not allowed to bill us the remaining balance. I got the bill for 1,802.75. I called Tricare and they paid the claim already and they said if I get another bill I am to fax it to them, and they will take care of it. I know that I really shouldn't complain because I know that there are others that either don't have insurance or if they do they pay a lot of what their insurance doesn't cover.


On a different note I got my washer and dryer today.

I know how frustrating it is to deal with this insurance crap!!! It drives you nuts. Hang in there, Cyn.

I am looking forward to seeing the girls' new pictures. Isn't it silly how happy a new washer and dryer makes us!!!?

Gentle Hugs,
Vicki

Hi Vicki,


I just posted the girls' new school pictures under the fun and chat folder. I finally got some of my laundry done. Then the dang dryer started making a grinding noise. I put in a call to Whirlpool who gave me the number of the repair shop they have a contract with. I called, and they are off this week for vacation. At least I got the big loads done. I have 2 tiny ones that can wait a few days.
Gotta run, my FIL and oldest nephew are finally coming down this weekend. They are leaving SC at 3 am,and will be here between 11-1. The girls start Saturday school, and the bus will be here to pick them up at 7. They get back at 12:15 or so. Rick is also due back from the field around 2. My house will be hopping, and you know how it has to look before anyone steps foot in it.
Have a good weekend. ((((((Vicki))))))
Love you,

Dear Cyndi, one thing to be glad of is that we dont have the old washer boards , boilers or wringer washing machines any more, I can still remember my nan ( and I am not that old ) using the boiler then doing the old washer board bit, I used to help rub the clothes because it was fun, then she got a brand new washing machine that had two wringers that you feed the clothes through....I still remember the pain when I didnt let the clothes go and ran my hand through the wringer.

Have fun washing with your new -beaut electric push a button and its done washing machine and dryer. I need a machine that picks up- washers-dryers-irons-puts away ( now where would I find a machine like that ????........Wouldnt be a man made machine. Ah yes available in most house holds it is called Woman. ) Yes I admit it I am a mean spirited angry women who got cranky again doing all the housework. Love Lell.

I don't remember washboards, but the first washing machine that appeared down in the basement in our house in Ohio was a wringer-washer.

Hi Molly,


It was a OK weekend. My FIL brought more down for us than we wanted. Instead of just the antique bedroom sent that belonged to Rick's great-grandfather we got a massive bankers desk that belonged to Rick's sister. Who got it from her old boss.
