Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tales

PSA: Keep in mind today is April Fool's Day, the day when it's perfectly okay to try to trick other people and make them feel bad about falling for some stupid joke. Yes, for the first time in years I fell for a joke. Posted to a comm alerting people to this new thing. Forgot what day it was. Ended up looking like an idiot. BUT IT'S ALL IN GOOD FUN SO IT'S OKAY, RIGHT?

Sorry, world, I have damned bigger things on my mind than keeping track of a a stupid "holiday". Like a new $10,000 bill for my hospital stay months back. It's almost funny, I was grumpy that I got a $1,000 bill when I was first released. Then I got a $500 one, then two more $500 ones, then another $1,000 one, then a $3,000 one, now this $10,000 one.

I have to see how much I can argue them down on it. Turns out the home nurse and the IV antibiotics were out of network, so I have to pay the $10,000 deductible out of pocket.

Each visit from the home nurse, most of which were 10 minutes, longest was 20, cost me $850 per day! And $200 per day for the antibiotics. This went on for more than two weeks!

I'm starting to think the adults in Loki's Wolves were right -- the system is corrupt. Let all life end and we can start over. Maybe the new life won't invent an April Fool's Day.

It's not even 10 AM and I've fallen for TWO April Fool's jokes already. Two! I usually get through the day without buying into even one. My mind's slipping...

The wow_ladies one got me because, well, it fit. That comm gets mocked for being too carebear, and so banning all hardmode-related posts fit.

The other was a personal LJ one (someone quitting WoW because they turned 30 and WoW is for kids). I have ZERO excuses for that one.

And yay, the LJ header of the month is nice. Though after last month's horrible one, anything would be better.

PS: I'm not usually one for cutting edge slang, but I really like this carebear one. It's meant to be insulting, but I usually take it to be a positive instead.
