A Lovely 10C Site!

Seven weeks ago I changed my private health insurance provider because the new one had a far better deal and was cheaper. For one thing, as a 57-yr-old male I have no use for pregnancy or IVF cover, for which I'd been paying with the old fund. The new mob sent a request to change notice to the old one which was ignored & for the next 6 weeks I was paying premiums to two different providers.

Last week I managed to get the old fund to stop stealing my money. But they still thought I was a member despite hving switched over a month previously. Still no sign of reimbursement.

The new fund sent a second request thru to the old and simultaneously I start chasing up a refund via Twitter.

This was successful: I'll have the excess $251 tomorrow.

Insurance: The White Man's Burden.

@kdfrawg I've learned not to have spicy foods for the evening meal.

Monica Lewinsky released the following statement on Hillary Clinton's run for President:
"I will not vote for Hillary Clinton. The last Clinton Presidency left a bad taste in my mouth. As we get closer to November of this election year, citizens must remember that they cannot trust Hillary Clinton to create American jobs. The last time she had a meaningful job, she outsourced it to me. And I simply blew it".

@matigo He was released on June 11th. There was a party on at the house he shares with five others & various carers. It was to celebrate having been there for 10 years. It became a welcome home party & a 56th Birthday party for him as well. My Mum & sister were there with him.

Offloaded my Lumia 1020 to my sister whose own phone suffered a broken screen. It's her sole home communications setup, no landline at all. As she's our retarded brother's legal guardian, and he's just out of hospital after 4 nights on a drip, it's quite important that people be able to contact her.

@hazardwarning Before Australia adopted the Metric system, living areas in dwellings were expressed in "squares," or "sq," with one square being 100 square feet. So my 3-bedroom free-standing flat or unit of 88.25 sq metres or 950 sq ft would have been referred to as 9.5 squares.
There's also a lock-up single vehicle garage, a 3 x 4 m garden shed & around 70 sq m of lawn.

I struck a problem with a 15-inch G4 PowerBook. It wouldn't eject the DiskWarrior DVD, no matter which method I used. So the most extreme method was employed: I mostly disassembled the machine & took the top off the DVD drive to extract the disc.

All OK now.

Normal service has been resumed.
