    Been saying this for years, let them sort out their own mess. Then, if necessary, we can deal with whoever is left standing.

    Clarifying question? Is this really: pharma, insurance, Physicians, PBMs, the lawyers or the whole lot?

    I'm dealing with a year and a half old worker's comp claim that was improperly coded by the ER doctor who is no longer with the hospital...getting bounced around and around in circles. $450.

    yeah, I'm not paying that.

    I haven't hunted since Thanksgiving weekend. That was with my middles son, which was fun, but I haven't had a hunt by myself since Nov 12th. Weekends spent on car repairs, coaching basketball for my boys, holiday commitments and family time are all wonderful, but I am glad its over. Hopefully nothing interupts my plans to be in a tree tomorrow. Unless, my oldest wants to go, in which case I will be on the ground. I owe him a trip.

    Get up at 4:30 for a 9:30 flight roads are craptacular get to the gate on time knowing full well that there is zero shot of leaving on time due to deicing. Get settled in and yeah not leaving for an hour because of air traffic around a storm, oh and no rental cars available from Tampa to Sarasota.

    Hearing about police and soldiers working over the holidays.

    Where's the posts for everyone else that works holidays and miss family stuff so your life functions?

    Must not be enough drama and emotion involved to warrant a social media pat on the back.

    Been there, done that. Just wait until she meets the 16 year old boy that you used to be.

    I believe the term karma applies to the situation.

    Worked Christmas Eve and Christmas. Almost decleated a drunken man wearing a two sizes too small green holiday sweater. But it was Christmas and he only called me 14 swear words and acted like he wanted to fight. But alas... have a merry Christmas you little dork sweater man.

    coming home from a 12 hour day to find my older dog; who is 100% capable of making value-based decisions; run away from me when I walked in the door. Thinking he must've had an accident on such a long day and fully cognizant that would be my fault for leaving him hanging for so long, I called him back and gave him some loving and pre-forgave him.

    Then I go around the corner into the kitchen and see the real source of his guilt- he broke into the trash cabinet (actually broke the latch- "child proof" does not equal Giant Schnauzer-proof) and ripped out the trash bag and shredded it- the only 2 things in said trash bag? the butcher paper wrapping from my backstraps from last night and the grinds from the 2 pots of coffee I made this AM. Coffee grinds all over the kitchen and living room floor and front door mat.

    That sumbitch smelled trace amounts of deer blood over 2 pots of coffee grinds. Holy crap. Not only that, he decided the butt-whipping he knew was coming (and got) was worth it.

    Secondary related Rant: crappy deer processors-

    yesterday when I thawed the 2 packages of straps (they cut each side into thirds) I actually got mad enough to write a google review.

    So, many of you may remember I spined my buck this season and ended up making him look like a porcupine. Anyway, the spine shot ended up sliding across both sides of his backstraps. A Muzzy Trocar HB does quite the number on backstraps, especially after hitting spine. You know how I know all this? Because instead of cutting the sections clean on either side of the wound(s) and ensuring I didn't get bone chips, spinal fluid, bruised tattered meat and hair in my backstraps....they didn't. Both sections had massive wounds right through the last 3rd or so; meaning I had to cut approximately a 3" section out of each loin, leaving me with 2 little orphan end pieces.

    All they had to do was cut the loin sections on either side of the damaged section; instead they took the lazy route and just cut them in equal part sections. Use your freaking head.
