So, Angie just recently had an appendectomy and we thought she was uninsured because she was no longer a full time student. The hospital bill would have been a whopping $15k. A huge sigh of relief today when Angie made some calls and found out she is still covered until her birthday in December. I'd rather us pay $2k-3k than potentially postpone the wedding to make payment.

Here's a public Service Announcement for all of you that like to cook: When making chili, or any spicy dish for that matter, use rubber gloves when chopping habeneros. The pepper oil sticks to your hands and creates a rather painful, burning sensation that cannot be removed without the use or unsafe amounts of bleach or rubbing alcohol.

So, when you like to make things really spicy, remember to wear a rubber.

So you want me to put the chopped habeneros inside the rubber and put it on when I want it spicy. Great!

That would make for a great story to tell at your wedding. It's also something your future wife should know if you intend to have kids later. You don't want them ending up like me, do you?

Hey steve you should give our office a call if you need health insurance. Its about $75 a month for a catastrophic med plan (for something like what happened). Glad to hear the good news.

That's a good deal concidering that a cobra plan under my dad would be about 5 times that. Does it also cover married couples, because that would be great in January?

I looked it up. They are actually in my hometown. I will keep this in mind if Angie can't find a teaching job with benefits this fall.

More of an inuendo than a pun. The rubber refers to the glove you put on the 11th finger and things getting spicy is refering to STD's, not chili powder.

I think when I posted about my engagement was at a time you went MIA on LJ. Also doesn't help that I went MIA on LJ for big periods of time after that.

I'm glad to hear about her insurance covering her too. Insurance is a necessary evil.

I also thought spicing it up was literally kinky use of habaneros, and not, well, what you said.
