Mom and Dad both worked. (And that was unusual for the early 1960s.) Except when we were out of town, which was rare, we never ate out. My favorite food was fried chicken. When Kentucky Fried Chicken came to town, I wanted to try it, but Mom said it was too expensive. Never had pizzeria pizza until after I'd graduated high school. I remember Mom making sauerkraut and weinies for lunch. Occasionally she'd take saltines and put a square of american cheese on them and melt the cheese in the oven. That was quite a treat. We relied on "swamp box" A/Cs. Every spring Dad and I'd go buy new pads for them. These pads were mattresses of straw that fit next to the louvered sides of the A/C. Water would flow down these pads and a fan suck air through the damp pads and blow the "conditioned" air into the house. Dad would adjust the float values so there would be enough water to pump over the pads. As an 8-year-old boy, this is one of my cherished memories.

From https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0440240905/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1&asin=0440240905&revisionId=&format=4&depth=1 ENTERTAINERS AND NEWSMEN ON DEADLINE can talk all they want to about tension, but they wouldn't know tension if you dipped it in a bucket of water and hit them in the face with it -- unless they had spent five days in a marshaling area, waiting to start the Invasion of Europe. The only comparable sensation would be those last five days in the death house, when everybody is quiet and considerate, and they feed you well, and let you sleep late and write letters, and give you little favors and comforts. The chaplain comes around to see you, the warden makes a speech, and maybe you write a letter to your mother. If you have a mother, and she still cares. Or you write your girlfriend, who is probably going steady with somebody else by now, as ours were. Finally there isn't anything more to do. You eat your last meal and put on your clothes and walk down the corridor to the big flash. You go out of the world the way you came in: surrounded by people and utterly alone. That's the way it was in the marshaling area.

Army vs. Navy Don't know why, just always have Alabama vs. Auburn Mostly because Bama has had such a run. Michigan vs. Ohio State Very distant relative of Fielding Yost USC vs. Notre Dame I'm always for the domer's opponent. Florida vs. Georgia I don't give enough of a shit to want the meteor. Miami vs. Florida State 1991 Cotton Bowl Cal vs. Stanford I don't give enough of a shit to want the meteor. Oregon vs. Washington Don't like Oregon's goofy uniforms. Arkansas vs. Texas A&M I didn't realize they were rivals Mississippi State vs. Ole Miss I don't give enough of a shit to want the meteor.

I actually met a woman like that a few years back. She was about 23 and it came out that she was married about 6 months before. Obligatory, "How did you meet your husband?" She said she and her husband went to aggy and he was in the corps. She said she was determined to get herself a corps member and "I did."

High-deductible health insurance: filing a claim
77horn replied to Parliament's topic in Can You Help Me With This?
From my experience, it'll take the hospital about 3 weeks to get a bill prepared. You would think with modern ERP systems, they could tell you what you owe as of yesterday, but no. And about the same for all the doctors (surgeon, anesthetist, etc.) The bill will first be presented to your insurance. Insurance will review it. They will decide what they'll pay. They will send you an "Explanation of Benefits". Each billing entity will then send you a bill for whatever is left that you owe. Yeah, it's going to be a few months. And don't be surprised to find that the original bill is for, say, $50,000; Insurance says, "as a preferred provider, our contract with you only allows $5,000." (I mean, like, how can those 2 numbers be for the same scope of work?)
