So, we just got a notification today that our *new* insurance carrier (Blue Cross) has denied NobodysWife's anaesthesia, but approved the rest of her treatment.
So that's twice now (Impus Minor's broken arm and NobodysWife's GI stuff) that they approved the surgery, but denied the anaesthesia.
O.o wtf

Our insurance told me that when I went in for dental surgery, and I'm like "you're taking out three wisdom teeth, you better not put me under!"
Apparently people in Wisconsin can't handle pain.

That's what someone said about waterboarding before he gave it a go.

You did take local anesthesia, didn't you?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Yes.

| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
OK, because even if you're feeling manly, doing it completely without anesthesia is a Very Bad idea.
Also... some really crazy trap shenanigans.

Noooo! Don't annoy Mrs Sunrise! But I level players by plot points, and should they talk their way out of an encounter rather then fight it through, I'll find a way to insert the loot someplace. Taking the high road should be encouraged, and I'm not here to train the next bunch of murderhobos.I think the lesson is don't split the party. I don't think you can cure adventurers of being loot greedy.Especially since I'm going old school and giving XP for loot, over the strenuous objections of Mrs. Sunrise. :D
That's a good way to do XP, Tequila approves +5. :)
Basically nowadays I just think that XP should be rewarded for whatever the game is about. If the game is about plot, give XP for advancing the plot; if the game is about looting dungeons and wilderness, give XP for loot.

The General went through two child births without anything for the pain, not even so much as an ibuprofen.
"Was that it?" - After giving birth to Crookshanks.

Now this should have been done under the alias 4 out of 10 gossips.
That's preposterous!

And how much experience would you give for letting the GM turn every session into his favorite episodes of Melrose Place.

I kept hearing about gelato, and decided to pick some up, and maybe I got a bad brand or something, but other than cold, this stuff has next to no flavor...

Never tried it, on account of having the world's best ice cream everywhere, being in Wisconsin and all.

I think at this point I'd cheerfully vote to have the beancounters who deny such claims required to undergo all future medical and dental procedures without anaesthesia. Because they obviously feel it's unimportant.
interesting.
My insurance did something similar at the dentist.

It's edible, but it is a lot like eating slightly sweetened, frozen milk. Maybe I should get it freshly made?
I really don't get the appeal though. It's not bad, but better than ice cream? Not this stuff...| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |

It happens when two posts were made at the same time. They will switch order with each reload, I think.

one, wait no,TWO animated films worse than food fight. The second one is actually physically painful. seriously... you have been warned...
And encouraged to watch it, because apparently I'm a sadist!
Edit: wait... I should probably mention the first one is NSFW... and IS supposed to be a children's movie... I think...

Food fight looks like someone went to the grocery store, smeared mud and feces all over everything and filmed it, and then added voice acting, using the worst possible takes that they could, all so that they could pocket 60 million out of a 65 million dollar budget.
I think it was supposed to be the "Wreck-it Ralph" of the food industry.| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Yeah I don't think I'm gonna watch that.

There are people named Summer, Autumn, and Winter, yet I've never met a Spring. I have met April, May, and June though.
I've met almost every month except February, October, and December.

Is anything worse than waking up from a nightmare and spending the next 30 seconds trying to figure out if it was real or not?
When I was like 4-5 I had night terrors. I don't think there is much worse than that.

Needing to "adjust" yourself in an Iron Man suit would be awkward. You'd either have to open part of the armor, or ask JARVIS to do it for you.
Jarvis I need you to activate the southern area scratching apparatus and the ventilation system immediately!

You've met a January, November, and September?

I worked with January (I made fun of her name a lot in january) met a November in college... hmm I can't think of the September I feel like maybe but lets add it to the list.
Technically it was Janruari but that is close enough. Not gonna hold it against her that her parents couldn't spell.

I'm more impressed that they thought it was a good idea, not that they couldn't spell.

Her birthday wasn't even in January.
