Something About Nothing............ #14

[Lynne G]

Hope you're already home, Patty. Yum, giant doughnuts. Hoping to see if we can get together this Fall. Really hoping those great AP rates that last September had. Getting excited, as HHN is getting closer.

Yep, quite the blustery walk for lunch. Cool enough feeling for me, not as long a walk.

Pizza was good, and lots of cookies and mini brownies to snack on. Birthday celebration in our office. See, no cake. LOL

Good to hear from ya Pumpkin. I hate socks, rarely wear them, unless really cold.

Yes, Keisha, I guess I grew up calling hotdogs or little sausages in a wrapped dough pigs in a blanket. Polish I'm not, and had to look up halupki. But you get the idea. I use a Pillsbury roll, and stretch out the round a bit, then put the cut hotdog or sausage and squish closed. Sometimes they open up a bit, if not sealed enough. Hmm, have not made them in some time. Maybe when I pick up hotdogs again. Never did wrap them in cabbage, but have seen ground beef in cabbage, and well, almost the time of year, when you put cabbage and corned beef together. Though my corned beef comes from a Jewish deli.

 

[macraven]

Lynne, we did the same using Pillsbury roll dough

Makes me want to go to Publix and buy the dough and dogs now

pattyw, hope your snowstorm is over by next Monday so you can do the run for our donuts here
Weather channel says it’s bad where you are
Hope you made it home safely

I have to rake up the gum ball stickies from our front yard tree before our lawn dude comes
tomorrow

later all!

Hey everyone !

Glad to be checking in and actually feeling like typing something!

Had a short trip to the hospital had caught something nasty couldn’t keep anything down and basically got so severely dehydrated had to get some fluids and tests done and somehow everything came back negative blood tests and everything.

Still not 100% but going in the right direction.

Bad headache still so will slowly work on getting caught back up.

Anyway I hope everyone else is doing great!

 

[mckennarose]

DLPN, I'm sorry to hear of your illness and hospital visit! I hope you feel better soon!

 

[Lynne G]

Hope your headache goes away fast and get well soon, DisneyLife. Glad it was nothing serious, most likely a bug of some sort.

Steak sandwiches with fried peppers and onions, with cheese or not. And wee, DH wants to get up and hour earlier tomorrow morning. Sigh, did take the day off, but know I will still be an early bird. Oh well. May be slower moving.

 

[Charade67]

Good evening everyone. Another frustrating day today. Every time I think I have seen it all with the insurance companies, one of them throws me a curve ball. One of the largest employers in our area uses insurance company "A". Well, this year company A has gone into some sort of partnership with company "B". The provider must be contracted with both companies in order to get the claims paid. One of our providers is not contracted with company B. I sent him the information to apply, but the process takes roughly 5 months. Also, company B has been a real pain to work with this year. It really annoys me that company A didn't inform its providers about this new partnership.

I've not been very busy or productive the past two days,

That's totally allowed when you are sick.

Usually we all go out but this year I was wiped-and no wonder-urgent care today and sinus infection!. Ugh so ready for winter to be done. And it is wednesday and yep-snow AGAIN this wednesday-think it is now like 5-6 weeks in a row?

Sending well wishes your way. Sorry about all of the snow.

Well, those severe storms stayed mostly South and East of me, but we were rocking and rolling with what sounded like icy rain, or sleet, pounding the windows in the wee hours.

I think you got it a lot worse than we did. We had wind and some bursts of strong rain. Today was sunny again, but temps dropped 20 degrees.

Here, if you say pigs in the blanket it equates to halupki.

I had to look that up.

Growing up in the Midwest pigs in a blanket was what we called the hotdog/sausage wrap

When I hear pigs in a blanket I think hot dogs wrapped in Pillsbury crescent rolls. Not something I ate much of.

I think we are all tired of winter.

I think we are going to skip winter here. I got a new heavy coat for Christmas and haven't work it yet.

Having a snow storm today!!

Yikes! Stay safe.

have to rake up the gum ball stickies from our front yard tree before our lawn dude comes
tomorrow

I hated those things.

Had a short trip to the hospital had caught something nasty couldn’t keep anything down and basically got so severely dehydrated had to get some fluids and tests done and somehow everything came back negative blood tests and everything.

Sending wishes for a speedy recovery.

Tonight I attempted omelets and buttermilk biscuits for supper. The omelets were a bit of a disaster, but tasted fine. The biscuits were edible, but not very good. Dh ate several through. I think I need to stick to desserts.

 

[Lynne G]

Hmm, never made my own biscuits, Charade. Sorry to hear of more insurance issues. Yep, as had the other night, enjoy eggs for dinner sometimes.

Ah, relaxing evening. Had some ice cream with some strawberries I cut up. Tasty. All but little one will eat strawberries. When she was a baby, when I fed her a strawberries and banana baby food, she broke out in hives. Older, she tried eating one again, and broke out in hives again. So she won’t eat anything with strawberries. Though I have to say, she does still get hives from eating out once in a great while, at a place she has eaten before without getting them. At least, unlike her allergies suffering brother, Benadryl taken makes her hives go away in about 20 minutes.



And yep


Thank goodness.

With that,

 

[DisneyLifePapioNe]

Thanks everyone !

I’m behind here so late in joining the choir in being thankful Dis-life is gonna live
I hope you continue feeling better and feel better real soon!

Your company should be grateful for all the extra work you have to do for the clients and staff

You save the day for many of them!

 

[schumigirl]

@ky07 I`m so sorry to hear your mum has passed. You and your lady have been through an awful lot these last few years. Losing a parent is never easy. Sending you lots of hugs.....

mrose…..glad you`re on the mend, it`s not good feeling poorly. And yes, home made chicken soup is the best!!




It`s Friday......been a little under the weather last few days...thanks to mac and Janet for their "keeping me cheerful emails".....appreciate them a lot!!! Apart from their emails, I haven`t even glanced at the internet last few days.

Quiet day and weekend ahead.....

 

[Lynne G]

Oh no, Schumi not feeling well. Sending well wishes mummy dust hoping that you are feeling better as the weekend comes.

Ah, weather lady said cold and windy today. Good thing I got a nice, shower in already. Yeah, could not sleep after DH left.



It’s a hey all, Friday is here.

And I know Charade will be eating the national food day food today.


So have a bowl or put some chili on your hotdog. Maybe MonyK has some left over to share. Too bad none she ate cleared her sinuses out. Hope you are felling better, MonyK.


Okay, quiet is always appreciated, so here is hoping the sick bay houses have healthier residents, and a fabulous Friday is hoped for all the homies.

 

[macraven]

Schumi
Glad you were able to post
Hope you start to feel better real soon !

You have been our “morning crew” each day and were missed

I’m more of a night crew poster and will never be off the night shift here
Lol

 

[macraven]

I just looked out the window and saw a bit of snow flurries
Had to do a double take on that
Let some time pass and looked outside again and no more flurries

it’s about 40 degrees right now...
so it’s freaky to see a few snow flakes

weather is iffy today but will be back to normal temps this weekend

 

[Lynne G]

Ooh, we may get a snow shower Mac, but with 40 degrees won’t stay around. No matter, that wind will make ya feel like temps in the low 20’s.

 

[macraven]

 

[DisneyLifePapioNe]

Don’t typically watch the Today show but they are broadcasting live from Universal today, they are getting ready to show some behind the scenes of the new Bourne show.

 

[keishashadow]

Morning all. Doing the my waitlists came thru on DVC dance for after thanksgiving trip!

Carole u r hangin tough! Nice to see you check in, take it easy in recouping

charade - Admit to never really thinking of how it is for those Who have to Actually navigate the insurance mess we now have.

I’m waiting to see if my insurance will approve yet another expensive test at independent rural hospital where my ENT now practices.

Ins co already approved a $4,200 blood allergy test (I still can’t wrap my head around that cost) & X-ray with no out of network surcharge. Dr wants more images, done at same hospital, where he can see the actual film vs just a report

Girl in his office said they were seeking ins approval but call them back in two weeks if I don’t hear from them. Said BC/BS rarely approves expensive tests at hospitals they don’t own & I’d likely have to appeal it in my own after they first request one on my behalf.

When I strike out Getting claims paid (or in full), then dump it in DHs union benefit guy. Somehow he seems to often be able to push things thru When all else has failed. I’m in no hurry there, but imagine if I was. Mind boggling the crazy ins maze People have to navigate!

Lynne, we lost power from the winds this morning! Just for a little while, but some areas are still out. They had to close one of the schools here because of no power.

There were a couple thousand homes in our service area that woke up to no power yesterday AM. Can’t imagine how cold their homes got in this weather

Tonight we are having Korean beef tacos.

That sounds good. Sliced beef or ground?

Ok got it! But you guys will have to trek to Buffalo(BRRRRR) to enjoy them! We have a donut shop here that makes HUGE delicious donuts!!

I just barely caught weather on local TV when I rolled out of bed this AM. I must’ve heard it wrong...thought the newscaster said a chance of 3 -4 feet snow accumulation in buffalo area.

Polish girl here- we call them golabki! Yes, but the same comfort food. Do u eat haluski too?

Absolutely, with extra cabbage lol

But you get the idea. I use a Pillsbury roll, and stretch out the round a bit, then put the cut hotdog or sausage and squish closed. Sometimes they open up a bit, if not sealed enough

Crescent roll dough here, wrapped around the hill shire little sausages & brushed with egg wash . I often line them up to make a wreath then put a bowl of dipping sauce in middle when I serve

Had a short trip to the hospital had caught something nasty couldn’t keep anything down and basically got so severely dehydrated had to get some fluids and tests done and somehow everything came back negative blood tests and everything.

Oh my, that’s scary. Sometimes those fluids are all you need to start the road back to the living

Steak sandwiches with fried peppers and onions, with cheese or not.

‘Wit lol Is your cheese ‘real’ or that scary, soupy melted stuff that is so popular in phillie? Lol

And I know Charade will be eating the national food day food today.

What brainiac thought a Friday in lent is a good day for that? Naturally, now have a hankering for chili

I’m more of a night crew poster and will never be off the night shift here

The graveyard shift cool! Lol

 

[Charade67]

Good morning everyone. It's Friday, so that means a day of house cleaning and errands for me. I just finished paying bills. Next I am going to get all my tax stuff together to take to the accountant. Later I might venture into the mall to look for a new pair of shoes. I really love the Skechers Go Walk slip on shoes. I wore out my solid blue pair and would like to replace them.

Hmm, never made my own biscuits,

This was my first attempt and it did not go very well. I guess I will stick to the ones in a can.

charade

Would you mind calling my boss and telling her that? I could use a raise.

It`s Friday......been a little under the weather last few days...

I was wondering where you were. Hope you feel better soon.

And I know Charade will be eating the national food day food today.

Of course. I need to go to the store sometime today and pick up stuff to make chili.

Most of the claims we process go through without any problems, but it seems like when there is a problem it turns into a huge problem. $4200 for an allergy test? I can't wrap my head around that either. I just got a statement from our insurance company for dh's last dental visit. His 2 crowns cost $666. Seems very appropriate.

What brainiac thought a Friday in lent is a good day for that? Naturally, now have a hankering for chili

Probably a Baptist. I grew up Baptist (still am), so Lent was never a thing for me. Can you have chili tomorrow?

Time to deal with tax stuff. I think I have most everything together.
