He's 25. If he didn't have Obamacare extension to my medical, he would have been fucked! (And this is one of the better health plans offered to corporations.)

2 Hours total wait and service time, 2 stitches.

We're on the hook for $745. He's doing OK and removed the stitches today, by himself.

These were the EOBs that hit my FSA.



Let's try this again. Adding image. A special grinding wheel for the trimming of horse and miniature donkey hooves. Of course no gloves were used. No matter how much you try to teach safety to your kids some don't listen until they learn by The School of Hard Knocks. It looks worse than it was, but still a little chunker went missing.
