[Miss Behaving]

Underoos et al - June 2011

Morning Bridge and all to come!

I dont have private medical insurance and refuse to have it as a matter of principle. I'm pretty happy with our public health system, and have two friends who despite having had private medical insurance, found that they couldn't access private health care when they most deperately needed it - one because the private system doesn't have a capacity to treat some types of cancer and the other because they argued that her cancer was related to something they excluded from cover. My one experience with private sector treatment was when I was in so much pain that I just chose to pay for it personally just so I can see a specialist that day, and he immediately got me referred to the public system where he saw me the next week, saying that the facilities in the public hospital were better than the ones in the private one!

Anyway, speaking of health related things, saw the Doc this morning about me knee and she thinks I've torn the cartilage again. Buggar. How's your knee happy???

Hope you managed to escape quickly from the social worker interrogation G :H

Rags - I managed to sponsor you from across the TAsman!!

We have the private hospital cover only. Tax purposes. For a family of 5 it is totally out of our budget to have anything more at this stage of our lives. Boys have a cover through school. We both have life cover though so if Mr Happy falls off the perch - or me too for that matter - we will have something....not a very nice way to get it though...

He really should have offered the dentist some sort of trade... hate to harp but the money is going out of the account tomorrow...:upset:

Missy, feel for you on that knee. Mine is good, I reckon another couple of days and will be back to normal. And when the kids go back to school I can get back to yoga...

Hiya Undies - sorry - bit busy today talking to medical type dudes and dudettes about stuff of which i had no prior knowledge. I feel my brain is fried.

Now ... exactly what is it about bloody Cup Cakes??????

Am feeling particularly awful today! Have got the flu. and it is getting worserer and worserer by the hour. Have the makings of chicken and mushroom soup on the hotplate.

Wonder if I have a rich Nigerian relative who would like to sponsor my Dry in July campaign

An emphatic YES! Have you tried the Nigella cupcake recipe I posted a while back? They are scrummy. Even Mr Rags ate some! And men tend to go for choccy icing but not sickly sweet.

One question to you all for tomorrow: What is your take on medical insurance? Do you have it, use it, need it?

We have hospital and ambulance only. But we get free dental. But being over 40, we are not involved in that under 35 extra tax if you aren't in a fund bizzo. So, this probly isn't much help to you.

UH OH. I just went to look for my recipes folder to get Nigellas cupcakes for Tawny....................... the folder has disappeared!!! That means last time I was in the folder I must have somehow deleted it. And now irretrievable because I have been deleting heaps of photos. That is a real bugger as I had some great recipes! (No, I don't have a back up). :upset: :upset: :upset:

I've always had Ambulance cover. I think it's imperative and at $37.50 a quarter (Family) you'd be silly not to. If I had to be transported from here to Melbourne I'd need to hit the Nigerian Uncle for serious bucks. Or sell a kidney.

Um ... Raggsy ... should we learn to do periodic back-ups?

Very pleasant, sunny arvo here with beautiful light and lengthening shadows.
