Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

Can't say as I've ever heard of Amish friendship bread [MENTION=7944]dill[/MENTION], I'm going to have to Google it. Hope all goes well with your stress test and you pass with flying colors!

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Good luck with the test, Dill. I do remember "The Trouble with Tribbles"! And as a kid, I remember that episode as my favorite!

Another gorgeous day to be alive and sober! I'll take another.

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Good morning. Dill, I am on day 5 of sour dough starter. I screwed it up last time so I am giving it another round. I bet your bread turns out great! I can smell it from here. Today I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Without going into details, I screwed up on a lab appointment, waited in line as a stand by and ended up being charged 500.00 with 2 medical insurances. I just got the bloodwork done and will fight with the insurance carriers later. I think I was 1 day shy of my “annual” date after looking at previous records. I know I will go down a rabbit hole when the bill actually comes. So on that note I will just move along sober!!! 24 more please and thank you. Maybe going back to bed would be a good start????

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Sounds like a horribly frustrating day for you, Rava! I hope you can move on and not let it get you down. I bet you'll get the sour dough starter right this time around. I do love sour dough bread, that's for sure and certain. My Amish Friendship bread turned out great.

The stress test today was actually not all that bad! I worried for nothing! I did a chemically induced stress test as opposed to an old fashioned tread mill stress test and it was WAY easier! There was some discomfort and anxiety induced by the chemicals, but it was totally manageable.

24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

Good morning Cafe. Dill, so glad you made out well on your stress test. I would have done the chemical one as well. Glad it’s over for you. Can’t believe it’s already March. WOW where has the time gone. Today is going to be another sober day. God I would love some wine, but I know “some” means 2 bottles which will screw me up. No poison today! 24 more please and thank you.

[abcowboy]

I'm sure the starter will work out fine this time [MENTION=24196]Rava[/MENTION], and hopefully you won't have too much trouble with the insurance companies.

I haven't heard of the chemically induced stress test [MENTION=7944]dill[/MENTION], how does it work? And glad yours went as good as it did.

Think I might run out to the farm today and check on things, if the lane doesn't need plowing yet it will probably need it next week as we're in for another weekend of snow.

Let's all have a fantastic Friday as we head into the weekend!

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Dill, glad that the stress test was easier than you thought it would be. I guess that it's true that our fears are greater than the actual event.

Sorry about your troubles with the insurance company Rava. $500.00 sounds like a lot of money for bloodwork. Is there any way that you can appeal their decision? Anyway, it's just not worth drinking over; you'll still have the bill to contend with compounded by a nasty hangover.

20?f here but the sun is shining, so it's a great day not to drink!

[Ginger999]

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Dill, glad your test went well. Now for positive results!

Rava, I did the same thing not long ago and I had to file an appeal. It took awhile but they did eventually pay the bill. If you have to file an appeal, play up your "old brain". Lol

Waves to all my buddies! I'll take another day. :▪︎)

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

It's a cold and gloomy day, but we are supposed to get some good weather this weekend, so I'll just hang on.

Cowboy, the stress test can either be done by getting on a treadmill and going until the heart rate is elevated to the level necessary or it can be done by injecting a medication intravenously that gets the heart rate up to that level. They monitor the blood flow, etc. while that is going on. I have been able to read the test results online already but none of it means much to me. I'm going to have to have the doctor explain it at our follow up in 2 weeks.

24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

I certainly remember it as well. As a child, whereas other kids would watch Saturday morning cartoons, I'd make sure to be up at 7am every Saturday to watch Star Trek. Of course as I grew up a bit I migrated to Next Gen (which was just starting up), the best and most favored of all the Treks!

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Good morning cafe! I'm in for another 24 hours of peace...

[Rava]

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Good Morning Cafe. Thanks for the information about appealing the insurance. I will definitely do that if I am charged. And yes the old brain will definitely be mentioned. With the bloodwork I was particularly interested in Liver function tests and I literally thought I blew my liver out 2 months ago. Turns out the liver results were completely normal. I am relived and still vow to not repeat that stupid behavior. I feel lucky, so very lucky. Feel like a dodged a bullet on this. Wishing everyone a great and sober weekend. Cowboy, hope your snow is not too bad this weekend!
