    Was out of town the week before service school and then during school was busy so had zero time to do commission reports. I had a pile over 12-14" tall. It is as arduous to clear that as it is to clear the same amount of snow. I did finish before 7:00.

    My work insurance carriers are all lumped under an insurance service company. I pay them - then they pay all of the insurances. Supposed to be real simple. Well, previous company has been bought out and this has been nothing but a PAIN ever since. They double withdrew the company payment last month (so an extra 9k) - AND - couldn't cancel or refund so it went as a credit. Now, this month they said I owed $106 and told me they couldn't withdraw it (YET they JUST did last month) - so I sent a check. Now today they tell me they're going to cancel it because they didn't receive the additional payment. WTF. It was sent, not my fault USPS is slow and now all of a sudden they cannot do an EFT.

    I am so glad my renewal is approaching as I am not happy with this service at all since the switch.

    A.J. would be useless if I had to pen him when I'm gone. He sits in the living room looking out to the drive from. Our picture window that sits 12" off the floor.
    Love him but he has a job here. The shepherds of the past and him now are the reason that neighbors have had break ins and we have not. Neighbor with shepards and a dobby over the years have been spared as well

    I don't rely on dogs we have permitter cameras, a camera that covers the road to the driveway and security system. Might not catch you doing it but will have pictures and license plate numbers. The road I live on is a private road no traffic.

    OK...Also put sign to possible robbers at the end of road to remember:
    1. you need to drive to house
    2. No hoodies, masks and gloves to hide your features, prints, age,and skin color for identification.
    Carry on my cameras will get you before you destroy the inside of my house then fence my belongings ...gotcha!

    Really ....SORRY that was way over the top sarcastic. .

    Sorta there wasn't offense intended with that...I'm sarcastic by nature. This said it's all perspective on experiences. My neighbor two doors down was robbed. No arrests but they did find the car because they parked at the road and walked down the drive..he had no dog they kicked in the back door and took all his weapons and what ever cash. I saw the car and called cops. They were about 5 mins too late...found half his weapons in a dumpster in the city of Rochester. He was later robbed again...the guys two doors from him 3x' s ..the last time a home alone deal happened water with doors and windows open in winter and loaded up their,Home owners, vehicle to carry their stuff away. This while they were in Florida...two ankle biters for them did no good in Florida.

    I usually do not have much to rant about but ........ Signing up for Medicare sucks! They make it way harder than it has to be.

    I would rather fell trees, buck them into logs and split them into firewood for 8 hours rather than do this.

    That is all.

    My company pays a certified specialist to do that but I have to talk with them about all the options. I'll be receiving my 4th and hopefully final consult in a few minutes. This mornings lasted 2 hours.

    Thank God for the retiree medical savings account. It is BS on how to get reimbursed.

    Have you tried reading the booklet they put out??? (insert crosseyed emoji) Trying to look through it to see if we need to change anything for my mom who is in nursing care.

    The good news is that I should be well versed by the time I file in 3 years. LOL

    Vendors who suck at life. Requested a routine quote 4.5 weeks ago (and followed up at least twice weekly) for something that required a minor process change. Got it today. Sent out the PO within 15 minutes and get back a response "we are unable to meet your MRD due to your short lead time request. We will be able to deliver on....."

    Interestingly, that is 4 weeks longer than my requested date. Suck it vendor. YOU burned 4 weeks of YOUR lead time.

    Yes, I read the book. I admit that I should have started my reading and research much sooner. I would have been better prepared instead of having my head swimming with an information overload. I kept putting it off because it was something that I really didn't care for. My mistake.
