OK. Would have to Google "thymes" but am afraid to do it. So, that being said; What is the deal?

I'm out of the loop on this too.
they are all screwing with me. I have been messing around with the grammar police here and using "thyme" in place of "time". In another thread, it was mentioned to have become a bit annoying. I'nt that write EG?

NJ can't afford the letter i or something like that (but that's a whole other story)- so therefore he keeps spelling TIME wrong and using the word Thyme....
Thyme is a herb that you can actually grow in your garden and use for cooking- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyme
however silly us, we hear anything regarding herbs and what nots- we automatically start joking around regarding the plant that is legal in Colorado and not most other places...
(at least that was how I followed it)

It's not the "i" that I cannot afford. When comparing my last name and Akwooly's, yule see that it's the "c" that my family couldn't afford.

Hospitals suck.
Mini-dex had cut his finger several weeks back and was forced to go to the ER to get stitches (Local urgent care centers were closed). We got the first bill about a week ago for ~$250. No big deal, about the same amount as when I got stitches for a similar injury about a year earlier. Yesterday I got a 2nd bill from the hospital for an additional ~$1000. Turns out the first one was only for the physician, the 2nd one was for the hospital. Neither one have line-items, just a one-line charge. At this point I'm half expecting another bill from "supplies" for the string, a bill from the receptionist, a bill from the nursing staff, ....

That sucks Dex. When minisnick needed stitiches in April it was like that too. The insurance company got like 4 bills. The ER Dr, the hospital (they included a list of supplies used), the xray, and the Dr that read the xray.
As I recall Dex has an HSA, right? So you have to pay the full bill until you hit the deductible. HSAs are often cheaper than paying a higher premium every month.
Might want to confirm you're being billed at the insurance's negotiated rate. I think by default hospitals try to bill you full price until you complain, hoping you'll pay anyway.

Yeah, we have a high-deductible plan ($2500 per person, $5k max for family) so we pay the negotiated price until we hit the deductible (premium is only $20/paycheck).
The part I don't understand is about a week after my son was treated, Mrs Dex was in the ER getting a staple to close up a cut on her head and that bill was only $550. Double price for stitches? Or because it was for a kid? Both injuries were treated and we were out in about an hour.

i'd definitely call for a cost break out.
boss just asked me a question via email as to how long something would take. I replied with a sufficient answer which was basically dependent upon conditions. maybe took me 1-2 minutes to write. His response, "[SIZE=11pt]Why did you spend so much time writing this….just pick up the phone next time." [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Can't make this **** up people. Now we've gone from bitching about an hour of time to bitching about 2 minutes. [/SIZE]

We have a half-decent medical plan, and my wife was in for some GI distress recently. We were in the ER for about 2 hours total, and didn't get any procedures. They did give her a scan, though. Bill came to over 2 grand (out of pocket) and without insurance would have been close to five figures.
For 2 hours.

we had medicaid which worked and could have been expanded. but noooo, he had to have his own brand....
We got something turned around 9 days in advance of the due date, in less than 8 hours, and received nothing but bitching about how long it took.
I need a new job. It pays well, but I am at the point that I can't tolerate the total disrespect. I. Hate. Every. Day.

HFS. Every day I go to work and assume that, within the ranks, somewhere, there is complete ineptitude. Then there are days, much like today, where that theory is proven in glorious, glorious ways and we all get f*cked because of it.
so I just found out that my boss is leaving for vacation tomorrow and not returning until July 29th. The kicker: he and his family are going to Hawaii. Really? Times must be good for some of us around her. Meanwhile I'm still ******* making 62.5k/yr. Yup. One more reason to consider moving on.
