Todays thought...stupid people...and an update

Ok so I know it's been a little while since I've blogged. A lot has been going on. Floor is ready to pop with the new baby. I cannot see where I have previously named him so I will call him Lil Joker (Sniper his daddy will keep you in absolute stitches if you are ever around him). I am so excited. I am off on vacation because I was going to travel a good distance to see Saturn but it did not work out on either end. She will be back here in a couple of months though so it will be good to see her. Anyway, it's probably a blessing in disguise because I have a feeling that Lil Joker will be born next week. If he follows after his sister and brother he will.

My mama has been doing so good with her Cochlear implant. It is taking a little while but she is doing so great. Funny story off of that, we were together for lunch the other day and she asked me what a noise was. Not thinking about the fact that she was hearing something for the first time I asked her what she was hearing. Duh me huh? Anyway...she's doing great. She gets frustrated sometimes because she thinks that she should be hearing more than she is...but she's doing a lot better than most people who get them. You go mama! You're rockin on, and keep it up. It gets better and better every day. I was so proud of her. At Sniper Jr's b-day party, she heard Floor say something from about 100 ft away. She would have never been able to hear that before the implant. Almost brought a tear to my eye. It was a beautiful thing.

Now onto stupid people. I was watching a commercial for an insurance company. In the commercial it has "actual customers" where the wife runs over the husbands foot in the driveway of their home and pose the question of whether to turn it over to the insurance company as a home owners claim or an auto claim. Now...I hate to sound harsh on this, but I really have to ask...WHAT!!!??? I think its great that you can get your home owners insurance and your car insurance through the same company, but I have to ask, why would you turn it over to either. Ok, it appears on the commercial that they were pretty well off. That being the case it can be assumed that they worked at a very nice job that probably pays well with good benefits. Benefits like MEDICAL INSURANCE!!!! Here poses my why question. I'm not that new to the adult world, and I know that when you have an insurance claim on either your auto policy or your home policy, the premium goes up. When you have a claim with your medical insurance, the insurance company usually pays it with either a deductible or a co-pay. So saying that...why would you even involve your auto or home insurance company when you can just go to the hospital and use your medical insurance. Your policy premium is just going to go up! This commercial honestly just baffles me. If this is an actual insurance claim, and you are the ones that made the claim, I have to say, I'm sorry if I sound bad...and I am not in any way trying to jump to conclusions, but based off the information on the commercial that is given...DUH!!!!
Ok...I'll get off my soap box now and bid everyone a good night! I'm off to feed my Mac and Cheese addiction. MMMMMMMM!!!!! Goodnight everyone.
