COW!! Errr... Happy birthday, Vid.
I suppose I can't deny that I am spanish...
Kileanna and now Dalindra! Huzzah!
In addition, a question. Do Americans generally pronounce the name 'Bernard' as 'Ber-NARD', or do they ever use the pronunciation 'Ber-nerd' ?
The former. I've never heard the latter, though, of course, I've hardly lived everywhere.

it's Bernard.
Ber-nerd is how you start a fight.

*SIGH*
Well, it's "official" (at least as "official" as such things get): NobodysWife's blood work indicates that a gallstone escaped and is running loose in her system somewhere, so she needs to consult with a gastroenterologist to try to track it down and make sure it departs in a harmless manner.
So more hospital visits, more scans, etc., etc.
Is it any wonder we aren't RSVP'ing to any events, other than to say, "Yeah, maybe?"
The claim is that our out-of-pocket "copay" maximum is $2000, so we're out "only" $2000 for being fully-insured with premium insurance yet having an actual medical problem. But I'll know more once I get the full bill. I'm almost certain they'll find a way around that maximum to ding us for a few hundred (or thousand) more...

this is why I wanted to be able to shrink as a kid. I wanted to be able to hunt down bad germs and such. Final Fantasy Legend 2 blew my mind with respect to that.

Get well soon, Nobody's Wife!

Ber-nerd is how you start a fight.
I think the first "r" is often silent around here, but no "e" sound.
Edit: So... kinda "BEH-nard", I've had next to no experience with anyone by that name, so I wouldn't know how they would like it pronounced.

It boggles my mind as well.
It's absolutely insane. I used to have hope that politics and people would eventually come around, but nowadays I don't see how it's going to happen without some dramatic catalyst. It took a world war and near-total political/economic/existential annihilation for most countries who have single payer healtchare to institute it.

Yarn vomit: when you go to pull the yarn from the center of the skein and it comes with a giant tangle of yarn attached that you have to untangle before you can start your project
I finished working through the yarn vomit and was looking forward to being able to work more neatly on the rest of the sock when the yarn got stuck and I got a second ball of yarn vomit. Pretty sure this skein is out to get me. #Weird knitter problems ;P

This is why I keep telling myself "You know, you really need an umbrella swift..."
But in the meantime, I've gotten really good with the back of a chair and an empty toilet roll cardboard.
Okay, that sounds nasty.

You couldn't enroll in med school.
I tried, but they would only accept me as a cadaver.
And I've seen enough Bruce Campbell movies to fall for that.

Had an uncle and a great grandfather both named Bernard, and they both went by Barney.
But as a child I was taught to use "BURN-ard" when speaking of either of them formally, because a Ber-NARD is a dog.

Hey, NH, your tech company should have a health advocate program. If the insurance company tries to make you pay more than your out of pocket maximum, contact the health advocate. I've been known to sit down with a spreadsheet and calculate out exactly what each charge was and how much the associate owes and what the insurance paid to show that the insurance company calculated the out of pocket maximum incorrectly. It happens, but you should be able to get help -- either from your HR department or the health advocate.

So much this. It's days like these that I go and look longingly at my amazon wish list and the umbrella swift and yarn winders that are listed there. XD

Well, they haven't overcharged me... yet.
And I do loves me my HR department. The insurance options suck, but when you need help, they're all over it.
So as I said, just waiting for the bills to come in.
At least I'm no longer with UHC. Small favors...

Just forgive us if a few games/parties get canceled. But so far nothing major. NobodysWife's meeting with the surgeon tomorrow so he can recommend the gastroenterologist, then hopefully we can get in on Saturday and get this mess taken care of quickly. Neither of us wants to miss any more work for something that is so minor, and yet at the same time so major.

Europe is awesome because they don't believe in safety.
When we were there in 1997 I went wandering in the caves under Blarney castle. No light, no helmet, just crouching down, feeling my way around in the dark.
Scared the living bejeezus out of the kids I ran into, I must say...

Every year the kids make Amazon wishlists and then for Christmas we go through and pick out one weird or crazy toy that they have on them.
