I wouldn't have posted what you did. While I think it's justified, I would have put her on my personal "ignore" from this point on, and I wouldn't have responded to her no matter what she said. As pleasurable as making the comment might be, it might lead her to attempt to get even with you one way or the other, and they've proved they can be nasty.

I didn't realize Facebook had private settings. I'll go find them and set them accordingly.

I have my privacy settings set so only friends can post on my page or view my posts. I don't want any more of my personal information spread around the Internet than already is. Facebook, for me, is to communicate with friends and family. I realize some might want strangers to see their posts, but I don't.

I get my eye exam for $45.. And then it costs $100 per pair of glasses at Zenni Optical online. I get photo grey plus no line Bi-Focals, so they do cost a little more. But still is far cheaper than $1000..

BEWARE

"Under the Affordable Care Act, seniors and people with disabilities who receive Medi-Cal will continue to have to meet asset limits that can force them to deplete their savings.

Through the national health care reform law, much of which goes into effect January 1, some non-disabled people between the ages of 19 and 64 whose income isn't more than 138 percent of the federal poverty guideline are exempt from the caps. "

Try to make sure the sale of your house doesn't cause you problems.

I went to Walgreens today to purchase a new test meter, test strips and SafeTPro lancets. They had to order the lancets which should be in tomorrow. They're the only brand I'll use to test my blood sugar.

Well, I called and nobody seemed able to tell me if the SafeTPro lancets came in. Theoretically, they will call me back in a few hours.

Well, the lancets didn't come in yet but Brandy assures me they'll be in tomorrow (Thursday). Also, Lenscrafters called to say all my glasses were ready to be picked up - hooray.

I am with the VA and they do not give test equipment so its out of pocket, I really don't have a complaint about this because they do provide everything else.

So if the test strips cost me a few bucks, its OK, averaged out its pennies.

I thought that the Wolf was now on Medicare. They should pay for all of your diabetes testing supplies. All they need is your doctor's prescription.

Congress in a move to save us from ourselves elected to go with the A1c test only at the VA. I am not sure if Medicare is the same.

Now if your taking meds for Diabetes, they will supply them but if your just watching your diet they only need a test once every 3 months, that tells them everything they need to know.

(of course it does not tell you shit)

I'm exhausted today. I ran three errands: (1) I went to Inland Center Mall to pick up my three pairs of glasses. (2) I went to Walgreens and bought a new test meter, test strips and new lancets. (3) I went to grocery story to buy Cokes and TV dinners.
