And the rain, rain, rain came down down down....

And only 46 degrees right now... a far cry from the last few days.

St. John Hospital and Blue Cross just cannot get together. I get this bill for blood work from St. John from Jan, 2007 for $364 and Blue Cross says they took care of it and I owe nothing, but I still get these threatening letters from St. John... they will turn it over to credit collection... I will have a stain on my credit.... etc., etc. Ohhhh, I'm so scared. You would think these two entities could talk over the telephone and straighten this out. Well, anyone sues me and I will counterclaim and ask for punitive damages to prevent companies from doing this in the future. I remember from my days of law practice, this happens all too often. These companies have this agreement with the insurance company but then both entities put the patient in the middle and expect him to settle the differences. How dumb.

A warning to all. Internet Explorer 8 really stinks... really slows down the computer. do not upgrade to it. If it does automatically, uninstall it. Explorer 7 will be reinstalled. Beware the false prophets of Microsoft.

Another day into the marathon diet... 15 more days to go.... I am starving.....
