Insurance rep: “Your claim was denied.”
Me: “Why?”
Insurance rep: “The procedure wasn’t medically necessary.”
Me: “My doctor ordered it.”
Insurance rep: “Yes.”
Me: “A specialist agreed.”
Insurance rep: “Yes.”
Me: “So who decided it wasn’t necessary?”
Insurance rep: “Our review team.”
Me: “Are they doctors?”
Insurance rep: “I don’t have that information.”
The bill was $3,260.
I pay them $428 every month.
Apparently I’m paying $5,136 a year so someone I’ve never met can overrule the doctor standing in front of me.
Very reassuring system.
I’m sorry but we gotta keep it real.
Charlie and Erika only being married for 4 years, but going around giving everybody marriage advice was interesting. The average marriage before divorce happens within the first 8 years. They were no where near “the blueprint” stage.
Charlie was a great man. Everyone saw that through and through. But the woman he bragged about that he “wife’d” up was not even the REAL her.
If you pay attention to all the things Charlie tells women not to do, in order to find your husband. ERIKA WAS DOING when she met Charlie.
Erika telling women what to do to “get a Charlie”. When she did NONE of those things.
What she did to “get Charlie” was LIE about her entire past and told Charlie what he wanted to hear.
And someone prepped her for the “How to get Charlie test”.
Buy a puppy from a breeder and you’ll never hear the end of it from the “adopt don’t shop” people but buy an actual baby from a breeder and you get a party and a tax credit.
Why? Seriously, I cannot understand why he'd post this. Is he looking for a response? Does he actually think this?
Either way, two things are true.
1) a little humility would serve him well
2) God shall not be mocked
Smart phones really just ruined everything. People don’t even know how to sit still and think anymore, let alone pick up a book and read. Everyone is constantly overstimulated, addicted to the passive consumption of random bits of content streamed into their eyeballs at light speed. Kids are raised this way from birth. It’s unhuman. Disastrous for the mind and soul.
