Life Onwards

Archive for the ‘.:The Man’ Category

A couple of years ago when I was with a large manufacturing company they offered medical expense accounts, pretty much a standard ‘in house’ version of a health savings account. Being bad at planning at the time, I never could figure out just how much to put in or not.

This Monday the kids return to school. With the push for kids needing glasses at the start, the labs are overwhelmed that the family Optometrist uses so I’ll end up getting a copy of the Rx and head out to one of those Super-centers to get a second pair quicker…don’t want my son starting the new year squinting or having to sit at the front of the class.

You either put money in an account to get reimbursed later ‘after’ you pay for items up front…or you just pay for items up front. Either way, you get what you pay for from the money you have in hand with most vendors…not all of them will bill an expense account.

I still don’t understand those accounts. Maybe I’m just too far gone.

Think different no matter how old

Woohoo…buy.com‘s got it goin’ on with…something.

At the time of this writing it’s possible that I got a link for last week…when it’s this week…kind of like if I got a link for next week this week but it’s not live because this isn’t next week.

It’s a common problem with Web2.0 these days.  Post something up and it’s old news within a few days.  It happens to us all…since most of us aren’t looking beyond a few days.  It’s got to do with memory and the little parts of the brain that help make memories.

Which reminds me it’s almost time for me to get another MRI and for you to get a chance to laugh at the pictures of my worshiping villagers camped in my mind.

Not yet…but almost.  Be patient.

…Life Onwards.

[edit] Odd, the link’s working now.  Isn’t that spiffy!  Yay!  The Internet bends to my will!  w00t!

Not a bad app and it's free

Yesterday afternoon I was thinking something along the line of Brave New World when I set my iPod down to get my meds in the bathroom. Having taken my Trileptal I found it agreeable to consider sexy costumes a fine things…to consider adding to my closet. It’s rather big.

Needless to say I didn’t go with Chicken Cookies for dinner, I opted for Chicken Cordon Bleu w/Egg Noodles and Sautéed Carrots…served with Mango Kool-Aid on ice.

I…forgot to pick up some kind of a bar cake since my daughter told me going out the door she’d had it with instant pudding for the last few weeks at her mothers’.  Poor child…when I was a kid we had to save scrapings from toes to have something besides boring Peanut Butter sandwiches.

Speaking of which…Peanut Butter, not the Toe Jam…we did PB&JwBs: Peanut Butter and Jelly  with Bananas…served with milk.  Real rednecks don’t drink Kool-Aid with their supper, only dinner.  Depending on who you talk to online, you can get a black eye for arguing which one is which…it’s like tea for rednecks in some parts of this country.

…some parts.

Life Onwards…or something of a semblance.
