My breast biopsy was billed for $15,392.35, my plan discount was $13,376.15. The actual amount paid by insurance was $1,814.57 and my portion was $201.63.

Great system we have here.

My friend Maggie lives in Zambia working with shoebills - they have a Jim Henson made puppet she wears to feed the babies so they don't imprint on her, it's the coolest thing.

Our next game is Wednesday but we won't be there, I have a conference out of town 😭

Amen! It's the first game we made it to, we only do the half season and we gave my brother the preseason tickets.

I'm not sure how preventing China nationals from enrolling at Purdue is going to reverse the decline in college matriculation along Indiana high schoolers, but he's trying to draw a through line.

I swear these real life Mad Libs are here to provide levity to the horrors of daily life.

The woman in front of us said when returning to her seat earlier "I shouldn't have left to go to the bathroom and made it back to my seat without them finishing that review."

The players and fans deserve good officiating.

Me too! It's handy in a waiting room but not my preference.

RIGHT? The added insult to injury. After the first week it was fine, but I'm really not much for TV so it was frustrating. I did have an easier time with holding my phone to read on the Kindle app, at least.

Oh thank you!

Honestly, these will probably be something I need to consider for my next surgery in the spring. Even holding the Kindle was harder than I anticipated with the last surgery in the first week.

I've never tried a fiction podcast, but is it like a radio play? I could do a radio play, I think.

I only listen to nonfiction audiobooks, I don't want to keep track of dialogue in fiction with a narrator. Nicole, in her role with Spotify, posted an ask of audiobook listeners to give feedback about how we select books & if it's different than physical/ebooks & it was different for almost everyone
