God is always working to make His children aware of a dream
that remains alive beneath the rubble of every shattered dream,

a new dream that
when realized will release a new song, sung with tears,

till God wipes them away
and we sing with nothing but joy in our hearts

Don't take my pennies!

You may want to avoid me for the next day or two. There is your warning. I am FURIOUS. It all started on New Years Day when I went to fill a prescription. Instead of the usual $3 copay, they charged $31.09. I thought hmmm, that's wierd, had them double check and eventually paid after expressing my frustration. Of course the blasted insurance company was closed, so I couldn't plead my case to them, but they'll be back on Monday, where I will likely spend hours on hold.
(SIDENOTE) I'm Dutch--75%, and the remaining 25% german/welsh mix in me is tight too. I do not like to part with my pennies. And when you try to take an extra 2,809 of them at once, I will fight. Hard. I may even use my teeth.
Anyway, so tonight I get the mail and see an explanation of benefits summary. I went to the ENT specialist a couple of weeks ago to follow up on my Meniere's, complete with a hearing test. Evidently, insurance decided not to cover this, either! $115. That's 11,500 Abe Lincoln's, friends. This is so not going to fly. We pay top dollar for our plan and aren't asking for anything that isn't supposed to be covered. I hate insurance issues. Yes...so avoid me. I'll understand.
