My wife was scheduling a doctor appointment and they tell her they do not accept her insurance anymore. She says fine, I'll pay cash and not use the insurance. They said we can't see you because you have that insurance and we'll get fined. We try finding another insurance company and guess what, no insurance companies can sell insurance right now. They can only sell insurance during the national enrollment period. She is not allowed to switch insurance companies at all. So much for freedom and improved healthcare coverage.

School Zone in affect when FLASHING! Guess what? If its not flashing, you don't have to slow to a crawl.

Also, its hard to merge when you're going ZERO mph. Having to slam on my breaks on the on ramp really makes my day..lol

 

you better be careful with that.  If it's not summer, and it's between the two times listed on the sign, you better slow down even if the light is not flashing.  But i get what you mean.

I had a test done recently and they charged $300 for the test if i paid cash, and $500 for the test if i used my insurance.  Needless to say, i paid cash because i had not reached my deductible, but that's also $300 that did not go towards my deductible.

I have seen tests/scans are $5000 with insurance and $700 without insurance and paying cash!

IMO, there should be no difference.

That's $4300 for them to have to deal with the government.

I find myself asking, when in a Mexican cafe, 

Are they really serving chicken fajitas?

Cooked right, its not that bad. I think what did me in, was sitting with a view of the carcasses hanging from the ceiling. Kind of ruined my appetite.

Saw this on face book and got a good laugh. Didnt want to start a whole thread on it though.

Today at work I found some Wild Corndogs growing in their natural habitat. This was real exciting for me as I have never picked fresh corndogs before, but I have no idea how to tell when they are ripe as they tasted horrible no matter how much mustard I put on them

And sometimes if you don't know what it is beforehand, it taste good. I will not eat froglegs even though they taste good fried.

Liver is an aquired taste. Know matter how it's cooked, it still taste like liver..lol

I like duck and brussel sprouts..... and asparagus, broccoli, rutabagas, cilantro, sushi, tofu and so forth. There is little that I won't eat and most things I love. 

But I can't stand liver and I cannot develop a flavor for something that I cannot get down, I don't care how you cook it. It doesn't bother me what it is as long as it is blended enough that I can't get that distinctive liver flavor.

Deer is an exception, but I understand it has more to do with the cleaning/skinning of the deer.   I've tasted some with the "wild" taste so bad you couldn't hardly eat it.  Most is very much like beef, but doesn't have the marbling.  Still good.  

[Hagar]

Which reminds me of another of my rants when going to a new restaurant.   I can't believe they cooked this beautiful steak on a flat grill.

I have killed many deer and eaten plenty of others where I helped clean it. I have never had a gamey tasting one. Almost every one that I have cleaned or been on scene were done within about an hour of killing and we don't usually gut the deer.... even while  cleaning. Hang 'em by the back legs, strip the hide and but off the shoulders, back straps and hams. Dump the carcass and the meat goes straight on ice. 

Someone might not like the taste of deer but how it is handled might be everything. I know that my mother has served it at church and no one has ever  mentioned it anything other than it tasting great. With roast, chicken fried and hamburgers......... she has never told them it was deer.
