    Medical Insurance paper work. United Healthcare. 5 sheets, for wellness survey (In short, did you buy a gun or go mentally crackers or seek out idealting thoughts living alone?) and 8 more sheets, 3 of which is printed in 30 languages. 4 of which is boilerplate and legalese. One contained the following.

    All but one sheet and two envelopes went into the trash can. Filled it right up out to dumpster. garbage in garbage out.

    1- Drug test enforcement detect drug. Billed by doctor 600 dollars. Allowed 68 dollars (A 10 minute desk top urine test, not the 1000 dollar courier sample to texas to really look at everything at the molecular level) my share 0. Doctors appt. Routine 150.00 my copay 45 cash, rest paid by insurance.

    Left over medical bills rounded up from the heart survey included about a cool 18000 dollars paid by insurance, my share zero. Copay zero or paid. Hospital bill from spanish flu incident came to a cool 8000 dollars acute life risk ER level in total. Paid. Copay 90.

    1000 ambulance paid. Since I am a member. Zero. Otherwise about 14.50 a mile and at least 400 administrated charges for NON cardiac ride. If it was a heart ambulance it would have been about 1500 due from you. The rest of the 500 or so per ride is paid. I should be a ambulance company at 14.50 a mile. None of that .34 a mile BS>...

    So. Piles of papers. Piles of zero balances. Tens of thousands of dollars paid. Poof.

    Ya know... one day soon or someday, uncle sam is going to look at that and go .... Hmmm.. Thats like income. Tax it. There would have to be tax returns filed on paid medical bills by insurance someday.

    Oh good just a drug test and not a alcohol test.

    I remember back in the early days before CDL, alcohol was all they tested for then. You took all kinds of drugs in those days and it would not show up anywhere.

    Ive been watching quite a bit of virginian with shiloh ranch and also wells fargo. Pretty good little plots with quite of bit of something for everyone. Pretty clever too. Kind for what you hear in polictics as the drivers plot to buy majority ownership in the company they hate and then fire the staff and owner. =)

    They are running yet another Calvary army stuff. If I have to watch that again Im going to quietly throw up in that toilet. I don't mind a good show of that once in a while, Errors included. But hour after hour? UGH.

    I have done three drug and two alcohol tests this year already.
    I have a drug test tomorrow.
    I am starting to question the randomization process.

    I would too.

    Talk to your relevant Company Drone about that. You can be tested either by supervisor (Trained supervisor) suspictions or you can be pulled by computer at random. But if they are incessantly testing you constantly, find someone with the power to make that stop.

    My medicine for those drones is a movie called Freddy Krueger, friday the 13th. There is one in particular where you get to relive a town situation 6 times in 15 minutes.

    I once had random come up 5 quarters in a row. I hope I’m not jinxing myself cause I have only been selected one time in 8 years.

    It’s very random. Are you going all on the same day of the week? ;)

    Peanuts is machine harvested and processed.

    The meat industry is more done by hand. Right?
