Those people get good money working for the government and better benefits than most of the rest of us so why is it such deplorable service? I pray it will all get worked out so you can enjoy your birthday. You do know that the older you get the longer you celebrate. I'm still celebrating and my birthday was at the beginning of January!

You have to plead on deaf ears and eventually pry something out of its surprisingly tenacious grip in order for it to give anything up. But when it wants something you have...well, it had better be handed over right this very second or you will deal with threats, temper tantrums, and dire consequences. You could even get bitten in the process. ;)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-62477366481864604102015-02-15T22:22:32.209-06:002015-02-15T22:22:32.209-06:00Happy birthday to Far Guy.

I love Patsy's comment. I too am waiting for my Medicare card. I could have signed up a few years ago but Poppy still works full time and we had good medical insurance through his work. However, since Obama Care we're paying a lot more for insurance and getting a LOT LESS coverage...so I've signed up for Medicare. It's crazy!
