My wife wanted to change a room around in the house, which involved setting up an old computer we had laying around (for the grandkids). No problem with that until I got to the part of putting the desk together. This is an old house with wood floors that need refinishing. Let's just say that after spending $115 at an urgent care clinic today getting a 1" splinter pulled out of my ass pretty much ruined my day.

 

Too bad you didn't have ObamaCare! (and apparently have no insurance.)

Of course, this is an "expected" cost of life (according to repete.) What if it had been a $40,000 kidney?

Sorry for the hijack.

 

No problem for the hijack. There's no way I could afford the health insurance that Celadon was offering while I was there - almost $500 per month for myself and my wife (no kids). I don't know about you, but I don't have an extra $6,000 I could just "give away" every year. If it was a $40,000 kidney, well, I would see me filing for bankruptcy - no other way around it.

 

Ready to back OTR yet? LOL. I'm going to be looking for you on Thursdays now if you stay local. Watch out. LOL

 

LOL - NO - If I can keep from ever going OTR again, it will be too soon.

 

Getting men to help after work sucks, hence the need for the Honey Do List.

Its amazes me that my husband can work his four tens and think after work there is nothing else that needs to be done.
Where I get up 2 hours before the family, which usually means 4 or 5 am do 2 loads of laundry, the dishes left from after I went to bed, the garbage and general pick up before I even get ready for my 12 hour day, which I work 5 days a week. Weekends to my husband are playing with airplane models, unless I give him the List.

All these words to say..... Men suck

 

Shaddup - have you ever had a splinter in your ass that had to be removed by a doctor with a scalpel (and no local to kill the pain)? Until then, you have no place to open your mouth. Now get in the kitchen and bake me a pie!!!

j/k of course

 

Thanks for dragging me into this Hobo!
Hope your butt's better Malaki, I know about the cost of healthcare I pay $75. aweek for may wife and I. That comes out almost $4grand a year ,did I mention the $1500 per person deductable? And that's not a bad deal.
Your right Hobo I do figure the cost of splinter removal and other small costs to be the patiants responsibilty. I'll pay the $180 or even the $1800 bill I want the insurance to cover the $180,000 and up kidney transplant

 

Fix my roof. (dead serious)

 

I DON'T do heights - I've literally had to be carried off of a scaffolding that was 3 stories tall.
