ANOTHER CHENEY MORON...IT'S IN THE GENES...

Oh yes..you are your father's daughter. She may be eloquent in her speaking, but her facts and excuses are lame at best. Amazing how the Cheney's seem to define the word "torture" to mean a breakfast of crumpets and tea. The concept and reality just doesn't hit home with these fukktards. All in all, I think Nora held her own, and Liz Cheney came out looking like the sycophant that she is.

************************

I managed to get my major chore of the day accomplished. Now just a few odds and ends to stash away. Being proud of my accomplishment was short lived. When I got the mail, one of my credit card statements said I missed my April payment. I have never missed a payment, as I schedule the payments online and there has never been a problem - ever. When I went to check the site - down for maintenance. Now I'm pissed.

My goal this tax season was to either pay off the medical bills or credit cards. I didn't even come close. I have about $500 in medical bills to pay, plus there is one bill for the ER for $1350 which the insurance company has DENIED. Because I wasn't admitted that first visit (although the Dr. said I was to be admitted and changed his mind), they are refusing payment. It doesn't matter that his incompetence secured my admission to the hospital the next day - OH NO!! Bastards. Hell, I don't care - I'm not going to pay it anyway. Send it to collections, at this point I don't give a damn.

My meager pension does not go very far at all - then to have medical bills compound the problem, really makes me mad. That is why I don't go to the doctor. I am one of those who fell through the cracks. I have 80% major medical and that is all. No eye, dental, doctor or prescriptions. Doesn't that just suck balls.

I apologize for ranting - I have been fuming for a couple of hours now and venting here helps a wee tad. I will throw something at the wall in a little while.

The weather started an upward climb today - we got to 60* - woohoo! Tomorrow is supposed to be in the 70's I believe.

Oh well, thegrandson is blowing bubbles in the bathtub, so I better get him out before he prunes up too badly. Have a great evening and I shall return....later............

COLUMBIA GAS SUCKS!!!

And I don't care if they see this! I have been on a gas budget for many years and never late on a payment. My budget was in the low $50 range, and on the "adjustment" month (July), I only owed $48 over the budget. I get my online bill today and my new budget is $82 whopping bucks. I immediately called Columbia Gas, and I think they employ the nastiest of people, to explain that I have a fixed income and cannot pay more than $60 and the answer was "there is nothing I can do!" I am not going to even consider the PIP program, as I have heard of those who get clobbered with huge balloon payments. This woman is trying to tell me that my budget has increased because there is going to be a 30% increase in rates...thanks Dubya! In actuality, she is saying that they have based my budget on a 30% increase over the new rate...as I went over the math with her and the actual increase (at 30%) would be $16/month - not $26 more a month. I am so furious right now, to the point of puking! I'm ready to just chuck it all...I can't make it and I am getting more and more scared daily.

I need time to absorb all this, I will be back later.
