Popular Post Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted July 22, 2019 Popular Post Share #2 Posted July 22, 2019 Today is Military Monday, so we rode Military Rd in Arlington. It’s like a big roller coaster for bikes. 26 miles, almost 1200 feet climbed. Quad espresso post ride. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today gets "only" to 93F and tomorrow, at 82F, I get to cut the grass: Golden Doodle Jake has a sore paw and I won't be taking him on 2.5 mile walks this week. I'm supposed to wait until September to ride my bike to make sure my intermittent, brief, Vertigo-type lack of balance is definitely cleared, but I haven't felt off-balance in a month and even then it was very mild and once every few days for a couple seconds. Apparently whatever was going on in my inner ear is over so I may cheat and ride it out-and-back this week for 1/2 - 1 hour rides on a very-straight part of the Baltimore and Annapolis Bike Trail where it passes through Glen Burnie, Maryland. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtyhip Posted July 22, 2019 Author Share #8 Posted July 22, 2019 I did a ten mile ride in Bend. Played my husband a round of chess and won. Now I am eating ice cream. Might take a nap. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to be confused. Last I checked, health care includes billing and insurance. That's a system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further Posted July 22, 2019 Share #14 Posted July 22, 2019 So I ordered my baked ziti, missus ordered a 2 fer pasta, plan being that I'll have the 2nd pasta for lunch tomorrow, and two salads & a soup. Get home and I have 2 huge tuna bake samiches. Missus calls and explained the screw up. I'm hungry and eat 1/2 of 1 of the samiches. Back to the restaurant & pick up our order. So I have food for 1/2 the week anyway. The samich was pretty damn good. I felt bad for the girl that took the order, she was damn near in tears handing me the corrected order, I told her not to worry, everyone makes a mistake now and then, or so I've heard....

I prefer the uphill part to be at the start of the ride, those look like the hills around here, short & brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned long ago that I don’t get a choice where the climbs are, how steep, or their distance. If you like to descend, you better like to climb; ain’t no free rides. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groupw Posted July 23, 2019 Share #18 Posted July 23, 2019 Just the 6 miles on the commute today. Cold front came through yesterday. Mid 80s but much lower humidity. Mowed the yard when I got home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being married to someone in the medical field -- twice actually - doesn't qualify me to understand what is going on. From now on, I will just consult you. It's laughable you just brought the government into this. There is still time to bring in work ethic and Jesus too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one time doctors and hospitals (and nurses) provided health care to individuals - they still do. At one time insurance companies provided medical insurance to individuals - they still do. At least for now thank goodness. Insurance companies do not provide health care and doctors do not provide medical insurance. Doctors didn't try to change the definition on health care. They know what they do. Insurance companies didn't try to change the definition of health care. They know what they do. I didn't try to change the definition and I don't think you or your wife(s) did. If you think finding a source of payment for medical care or funding medical care is the same thing as medical care then you have been led down the path by someone other than the people that provide medical care and those that provide insurance for medical care. I wonder who those people are and what their end-game is? P&R in 3... 2... 1... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, the care they provide is excellent. You seem to want to continue to make the argument that if I say the system sucks that somehow I'm saying the level of care the medical community provides sucks. Kazie, the system sucks. Deal with it.
