Thoughts for the day
A nice day, with a little wind.
I began my BIA career on Sept. 20,
1971. It was a great career I am glad I accomplished. I honestly believe I was
taught more than I ever taught to my students.
It looks like another government
shutdown in 11 days and counting. This do-nothing congress is living up to its
reputation. So sad.
The problem I see with these
government shutdowns, is that congress…the deciders of the shutdown…pay virtually
no consequences. Not to the vast majority of government employees, as when the
government shuts down and employees go home, the return in a day or two with no
effect on their pay. That make it seem harmless. However, it is not harmless.
Many businesses with government contracts must wait longer for their pay,
meaning their employees must also wait. After going through several shutdowns during
and after Reagan, the only thing that will stop them is that Congress pay also
stops and is not repaid.
I have my diabetes under good control,
thanks to medications and my CGM…continuous glucose monitor. When I started the
CGMs they were $40 for 3 months. They were so much better than finger stickling.
Then somehow Medicare got the contracts for CGMs. Since then, I have only had 1
on time delivery. I’ve had the same primary doctor forever. The staff is very
good at answering questions, replying to necessary faxes etc. I was due for a
new 90- day supply. I got an email that my Primary had not responded. I called
and the Primary never got a call or fax. I called the company that has the
contract. They said they sent 4 faxes and made 6 phone calls for information. I
stopped by the Primary’s office and together we called the company. They had
the wrong fax. They somehow also had a different phone number for the doctor. They
have used the correct number before. The office sent the necessary ‘notes’
while I was standing there. About an hour after I got home, the company called
and verified my name and said they were ready to send out the CGMs. The next
question threw me…Are you currently in a hospital or long-term care facility? I
said NO in a rather irritated manner. She said ‘OK, they will be shipped out
today.’ Had the lady spent 3 minutes reviewing my last recorded phone call, she
would know that I was standing in the Drs. office about an hour earlier talking
to their company to get my CMGs.

Slang Words…
Excuse me, bruh
- Pop culture reference point:
"Zoolander" (2001)
Thanks to the popular video-sharing
platform TikTok, phrases from older movies are reclaiming their place in the
current cultural lexicon. Just look at the phrase "excuse me, bruh"
from the 2001 comedy "Zoolander," which has become a popular sound on
the app.
In the film, this line is uttered when
Ben Stiller's character Derek Zoolander bumps into his rival Hansel (Owen
Wilson) in a club, leading to a standoff between them in which Derek replies,
"You're excused, and I'm not your bruh." To date, the quote has been
used in TikToks that have collectively racked up more than 200 million views.
