We got a call from the prescrip people; again, my insurance was cancelled as of 5-31-2014 so I had to call Bub's insurance, make sure I was listed as having his insurance as my primary, and then called back the prescrip people and told them. I mean, $600 for ONE medication...I almost had to go to a cardiologist!!!
I gotta do the online COBRA election and set up the one part of my insurance that Bub doesn't have. Damn, another expense.
OK, went online, can't do the online thing since we only want ONE of the medical offerings so I have to do the hard copy and send a check.
Oh, well. These things happen.
SO, I
- Called prescrip people
- Called Bub's insurance people, set up me as having his insurance PRIMARY now. Will take appx 72 hours to 'kick in' with all other medical providers

Another update re: insurance.
Trying to maneuver around Barry's insurance is frustrating because there are some things that aren't covered medication-wise that WERE covered under my own plan when I had it. So call the online med people, call the doctor, call the regular pharmacy down the street etc while at the same time looking through jobs.
From the "I TOLD You So, Honey!" Department:Trying to maneuver around Barry's insurance is frustrating because there are some things that aren't covered medication-wise that WERE covered under my own plan when I had it. So call the online med people, call the doctor, call the regular pharmacy down the street etc while at the same time looking through jobs.
We went tonight to get a box spring and mattress set from Sam's club and we took the truck. Before we got into the truck, I asked Barry if we should bring tie downs. He said no. I asked again, should we bring tie downs just in CASE? Again, he said no. THIRD TIME-I TOLD him that we should bring tie downs and that I was going to get them. He got out of the truck, kinda slammed the door, went into the garage and brought out the pack of 4 neat ratchet strap tie downs I bought at Sam's club appx 8 months ago. So,
We go.
We get the mattress and box spring.
We put them into the back of the truck.
Mattress and box spring width are slightly over one truck bed side edge.
Mattress and box spring length are slightly over the back so the tailgate wouldn't be able to be put up.
Hmmm, mattress definitely would slide. WHOA!!! WAIT!!! Guess what? We had the 2" galvanized wire hook ratchet strap tie downs!!!
Cinch those puppies to the bed of the truck, DONE!!!
OBSERVATION WHILE COMING HOME WIT DA GOODS:
We drove by Claimjumper and I remarked that I had a hankerin' for dose foods. Barry said, do you want to go after we drop off the mattress set? I said, naw, we ate at the La Habra Sam's club earlier, all we'd do is order food and have REALLY EXPENSIVE lunch leftovers the next day. Isn't that true???!!!
OBSERVATIONS WHILE WATCHING 'YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN':
1. Marty Feldman was the 70's answer to Eddie Cantor.
2. CORRECT INFORMATION FOR A SUPPOSEDLY IN-JOKE: When Frau Blucher says, 'Blucher' or if ANYONE says 'Blucher', the horses go nuts. 'Blucher' is a cinematic technique whereby a word, a name, an event (like thunder and lightning) trigger some sort of a reaction or elicit an audience response, i.e. thunder and lightning usually signify a terror response, like the villain is coming, is there, there's a scary thing going on. In this case, the horses go nuts. 'Blucher' is NOT the German word for 'glue'!!!
a. Cloris Leachman, Gene Wilder and Madeline Kahn are/were AWESOME in this pic!!! Peter Boyle too, and I've always liked Kenneth Mars every since the movie, 'What's Up, Doc?' with Barbra Streisand and Ryan O'Neal. SPOILER ALERT: Come to think of it, Madeline Kahn and that guy with his socks held up with sock garters, who Dr. Frankenstein (Gene Wilder) did the nerve experiment on in his class (Liam Dunn) were not only in 'Blazing Saddles' (he was the Reverend Johnson in Blazing Saddles), but they were also both in 'What's Up, Doc?' starring Barbra Streisand and Ryan O'Neal. Ms. Kahn was Ryan O'Neal's fiancee, and Liam Dunn played Judge Maxwell, who was actually Barbara Streisand's character's dad. John Hillerman was also in 'What's Up Doc' and 'Blazing Saddles'.
b. Fave saying: 'Put, the candle, BEHCK!' TRIVIA: After the candle/bookcase part, when the see Igor, Igor says, "I heard the strangest music, and I had to come down here. Call it-a hunch. Ba-dum chi!". The 'ba-dum chi' can also be done as 'ba-dum-BUM', like a drum riff when someone tells a joke.
Again, I guess ya gotta be from the Middle Ages.
3. Fave spoken word-'Abby-normal'.
4. More trivia: the actual set for the electronic equipment in the lab was the one used for the original Frankenstein movie in 1931. It was saved in Ken Strickfaden's garage. Ken was the one who created all lab equipment for the original movie back in '31. NO, I WAS NOT ALIVE BACK THEN!!!
IMDB Young Frankenstein trivia
5. FINAL OBSERVATION-OMG, JEEZ, THIS MOVIE WAS MADE 40 YEARS AGO!!! 1974!!!
Mel Brooks/Blazing Saddles trivia:
- Dom Deluise was married to Carol Arthur (she was Harriet Johnson in Blazing Saddles, and he was 'Buddy Bizarre' the musical director when the actor's fight came through the wall.
- Mel Brooks' wife Anne Bancroft played an extra in the church congregation when church was in, just before it was blown up.
