Fin
To my loyal two or three readers, I have
decided to end this blog......I have been at
it for some 4 years and I come to the
conclusion that I have said it all......
It was fun during the recent "boom"
years to bitch.....I see no fun in doing
the same during these current bad financial
times......
Therefore ----- fin, fini, the end.......Pumps

The Doctor's Office #2
One of the best words which I love to hear
coming from a doctor's office is, "We don't
know".......
Sometimes sitting with the personnel in
a doctor's office, you get the feeling that you
are in a dictatorial environment......They know
the medical "stuff" and you do not......
"We don't know" does not stop the bill for
the "We don't know" service but it is nice to
learn that the people in the doctor's office,
including the doctor, are nothing more than
"mere mortals" just like we.......
Sometimes it is wise to remind them of that
fact.....That little fancy, colorful medical
blouse does not elevate one to a position
of god......Pumps

The Doctor's Office
Today was a day that "one" went to the
Doctor's Office for a prescription refill......
No big deal or problem......
Have you noticed that when you go to the
doctor, no one in the office is "in a hurry"....
It is always one even pace of work duties.....
Bleed or double up with pain and maybe
some one will take notice of you, but
otherwise it is wait in the outer office, until
your name is called, and then wait in the
inner office until a medical person wants to
talk to you......
Can you imagine, if and when the whole
medical system is "federalized"......These
"slow" moving people will move even "slower"
just as they do in the Motor Vehicle Bureau....
If you are bleeding there will most likely
be a federal custodian who will make his/her
routine rounds to mop up the floor under
your seat as you continue to wait for your
number to be called.....
All of this for a prescription refill....Pumps

Why not change it to:
BED LICE AND ROACHES ARE A FACT

Do not lice and roach killer sprays exist
that one may buy at Lowes or Home Depot?...
