My warped sense of reality...

If you are a doctor or insurance man, please turn away and do not read this!

I hate doctors and insurance! No other way to say it, I just despise these two careers. They gouge us financially because they can and really for no other reason. 3stitches in my foot cost me over $1000 a few years back; next time, I would rather stitch up myself! I had no insurance at the time so it was cash out of my pocket.

Now this is where my warped sense of reality comes in to play. Besides the fact that I hate going to see doctors for any reason, I usually will not go for the simple fact that the insurance I have now is pretty good and not very expensive. Why should I put another company through the financial responsibility when they have a reasonable price on a program. I do not want to go just for the sake of going. Because of life changes, I added my wife to my health insurance policy and my rate went up dramatically (I knew this was going to happen and was expected).

Now that I am being charged so much extra money a month, I want to go just for the sake of going! Is that twisted or what? I know we need preventative maintenance and all that jazz each year but now that you are taking so much extra from my personal well being, lets going ahead and get the premium package!

For me, a lower rate means more conscientious decision making about my health. A higher rate means lets go for the gold and let everyone else suffer the effects! Right now, I could go for an eye exam, dentist visit, heart specialist, nutritionist, dermatologist, orthopedic, podiatrist. While we are at it, lets throw in a couple of other medical specialists just for kicks and giggles!
I think I need a tune up, I need a complete and total rebuild on my engine!

Sure has been busy lately...

Yes, this has been a really busy time of year for me! Am looking for a little bit of down time nest week with the Thanksgiving holiday and a little more time off over the Christmas holiday. Hate that I have not posted much lately! So here are some observations and things which have been going on recently...

- It is official, I am a big tub of goo again! I need to get back on track!
- I love mulching leaves rather than raking and bagging.
- The wife got a new job and am very excited for her!
- Still trying to embrace my inner Facebook and Twitter!
- Have discovered that I can not shave with shaving cream! Lotion works much better.
- I want a dog. Not to replace Elmo but to keep Sushi company. WOW I still miss her.
- People say "Money does not go anywhere these days". Yes it does; it goes away from my wallet!
- It has been a few years since I have done this so, I am going to make a gingerbread house for Christmas!
- We are going to see the new Harry Potter movie this weekend.
- Contrary to popular belief, things do not just happen and appear out of thin air.
-We often have to work very hard to make things happen, while making it appear it takes very little effort.
- Bumper Sticker: "A man who receives something when paying nothing means another man
was paid nothing for making something." I just loved that one!
- We are often promised riches and glory for doing good deeds. We need to do good deeds because it is the right thing to do, not because of a promised reward.
- Fall is my favorite season!

That is it for now. Please keep safe and check back here soon for more stuff going on with Chef Jeff.
