    Mom hollered, “Just cut it out”!

    Grandparents are too traditional and outmoded, have no reciprocal value to society due to the old age, and frankly the grandkids grow up and out to care.

    The in-laws for brothers and sisters are interchangeable with brothers and daughters. Correct? Weird.

    Nieces and nephews are cousins. And they got their own groups. Most don’t really get along, too.

    Technically, immediate families are in. Outsiders are out. Hmm.

    Well my incoming thought indicated that all humanz must have a healthcare insurance or at least pay a fine.

    This includes younger adults outside paternal insurance and elderly kinds, such as Medicare and Social Security, which may be phased out eventually.

    Last week I wondered why property is better insured over insured humanz. And why can’t humanz just try Medicaid, which also must be phased out eventually.

    Then after the trials and errors, let’s speed up allocation of healthcare services. I’d hate waiting.

    In my OLD blogs, I mentioned ideas for the border wall – moat-filled reptilianz, tower-mounted lazerz, night vision, and ground sensors.

    Now my incoming thought indicated that y’all have the military which could assist in enforcement of this border wall.

    With the military, surely y’all can model the stuff after the Area 51. Y’all can also post those signs – No Trespassing Deadly Force Authorized.

    If MAGA and pals are in serious business to secure our safety, y’all need to use deadly force. Authorize as necessary.

    So en route homebound, I spotted an advert banner from HWY-101. While stuck in traffic, with one hand on the steering wheel and with the other hand on my cellphone, I opened up my Evernote and entered the website for browsing later on, which was a few minutes ago.

    I like this mini-tracking stuff. It rocks. I want something for the beach, too. But I don’t sunbathe because I’m getting ‘tanned’. What kind of Filipino looks Asian with freckles and has a farmer’s tan?

    Lots of innovative ideas in the Silicon Valley!

    “Uh oh. Page not found. Sorry, the page you were looking for doesn’t exist or has been moved, Return home”

    To Matt Meister and his Engineering pals,

    Can y’all please ‘fix it’? This is NOT nice. I expected a streamline blogging experience with no dents or dings or any bumps or bruises. I didn’t take a few months of bloggin hiatus to come back to ‘techinical difficulties’. Oh, for crying out loud! This is Silicon Valley! And don’t y’all throw a hissy fit or liberal tears with your SLOW progressive ‘update’. I expect excellence.

    Now that I have your attention. Have a good day!

    Sincerely,

    FLYNN B.

    Dear Lawd Gawd,

    This WordPress blog entry is being done via a WordPress desktop app (https://apps.wordpress.com/) for MAC OS X (10.9+), which was downloaded a few minutes ago and is now being used on my new Macbook Air, which Das Squirrel delivered unto moi for Evil Kitty to continue ranting online. A shout-out goes to Erica and Neil, who got me this stuff per text message on last Thursday around 10:27 AM.

    The good Flynn, is of course, is blogging on the accompanying ‘Magic Keyboard’, which only human hands are capable of using since feline paws lack any opposable thumbs. Flynn is frustrated because the floating feeling of this keyboard is different from the more mechanical clickers.

    Flynn is also using the ‘Magic Mouse’, in which the scroll is ‘reversed’. She doesn’t like this mouse because it’s so slippery that is jumped outta her hands twice and landed on the hard wooden floor. The mouse has a magnetic personality and tends to attract sewing threads, dust bunnies, and other magical debris, known as fairy flakes. I believe Flynn and Evil Kitty have dander which tend to fall onto the floor.

    The laptop unit itself is fully charged thanks to the ’45W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter’. It too has a magnetic personality and so one must be careful to clear the docking ports of stuff to avoid shorting the circuitry.

    So late yesterday evening from 10:38 PM to 12:41 AM the next morning, Evil Kitty panicked again! Flynn forgot her new password to the laptop! The ‘initial’ password was ’11’, which is magically symbolic of See-Aye-Hey coding.

    She confused that change password with the passwords to both the Apple ID and the iCloud stuff! So Flynn sent text messages to Das Squirrel for advice, knowing he’s NOT great in replying. But she figured it out via online articles and managed to ‘resetpassword’ via Utilities > Terminal. She’s smart! Yup.

    Prior to restarting the laptop after the download of updates, Flynn took a wise course of action and established her Apple ID and iCloud accounts and retained both the iCloud Security Code and most importantly the freaking ‘Recovery Key‘, which is VERY necessary to unlock stuff. Flynn wrote it on paper because she might forget again!

    So yeah, the features of the macOS load fast and smoothly! The navigation is simple. I like how the ‘main’ window behind the active ‘app’ has its own top/navigation bar. I still like my Google Chrome for tracking and monitoring, though I’m assuming the default ‘Safari’ internet web browser does fine, but with limited scope, such as sorting my freaking Bookmarks alphabetically either ascending or descending.

    The updates for the important apps, such as MS Word Document and MS Excel, took awhile. Flynn plans to download, install, and/or ‘test’ other apps for compatibility. In the meantime, she plans on blogging more frequently, now that her computer desk environment located in the living room has been re-arranged last night until three in the morning.

    Flynn is wondering what she will do with the Lenovo IdeaPad P500 laptop that runs on Windows 8.1. The updates are stuck for the Windows Defender. The screen monitor didn’t work with the Windows 10 as a response to buying the HP Envy as a replacement. But it’s still a working unit. Her new HP Envy is still the main production laptop. Both run on the Intel i7 chipset.

    There is still the old HP desktop tower, which still works but run freaking slow, the reason behind buying a Lenovo laptop. Aside from an extra Asus monitor and HP clicky keyboard, Flynn has three tablets and four scanners, two of which were used for the photograph project. Both the HP tower and Lenovo are refurbished products from Fry’s Electronics.

    With that said, I’m tempted to just get rid of everything and stick to one laptop, in an effort to fulfill my minimalist lifestyle. Unfortunately, ‘karma’ has its way for ‘reversing’ one’s wants and desiring. So while owning less stuff is my goal, I end up with more stuff than necessary. So I’m thinning that maybe I shouldn’t think or blog so much as to affect ‘reality’, no matter how I make it.

    I’m done. I’ve got donations to re-consider and electronic wastes to donate to my local Bestbuy store. O\h, and the WordPress spell-checker responds VERY well with the macOS pop-up windows!

    Sincerely with hisses,

    Evil Kitty and her good Flynn

    “Mean” and “heartless”. Hmm. Once again, the hellish planet and all its beastly system is closed and sustainable. What goes “free” into the mouths of bottom-feeders comes out as poop, when properly treated and recycled becomes sustainable.

    Anyway, last night I helped Dad ‘audit’ the denied claims by locating the unprocessed items. I printed out copies of his ‘missing’ or ‘stolen’ EOBs to include with the ‘returned’ copies of electronic receipts from the pharmacy. For Mom, hers was easy because copies of both EOBs and electronic receipts were provided. 

    So this morning, I called DEERS amd they transferred my call to TRICARE / Express Scripts. We wanted the assurance that the resubmitted claims won’t be kicked back to us.

    Based on my big brain, the letters were clear – they didn’t have the current enrollment information. So I’ve typed up but didn’t sign my two letters to explain that DEERS was updated and provided images of their Medicare Part D (PDP) cards – front and back. I’m smart!

    So now we’ll waste another postal fee, priority mail, of course. We have another piece of mail for the folks down by the ‘riverside’. Then we’re gonna pickup a bottle of 600 mg capsules of NAC for Moms procedure on Monday. Walgreens didn’t have any. CVS stopped carrying it. Trader’s Joys don’t either. But GNC does!

    Bye for now. Oh and without a nice caregiver, such as moi, the ‘death panel’ as it was, would have affected these two elderly humanz. That’s why the Lawd Gawd had punished unto moi under/unemployment, which is only sustainable with their presence.

    At 1213, my 1115 dental appointment concluded after waiting 15 minutes behind the ‘blue line’ before 1100 and after 1200. The doctor handed me the bag. Thanks! Two technicians (one is VJ, whom I mentioned in my OLD blog) messed up my x-rays and zapped me more than six time in the right and left. Bitewings were done and one cavity will be done next month. 

  • 20170622-1108-Stuff

    Well, for the last few weeks, we’ve been playing tag with the government. We received a phone call from TRICARE / Express Scripts. So we called back. They couldn’t help but directed us to call DEERS. They couldn’t help either.

    I had already setup Dad’s account online and noticed that the Benefits > Other Health Insurance section for both sponsor and beneficiary are showing ‘TBD’. I couldn’t update it and the DEERS customer representative couldn’t help either. 

    Once again, we were on our own to figure out stuff. So with my big brain and beautiful mind, I mediated and made two more calls to the OHI and obtained the mailing addresses for filing claims. The location is the state of residence, NOT on the back of the insurance card! 

    With that said, I was able to ‘closely’ but NOT exactly match the coverage names, addresses, city, state, and/or phone numbers, and update DEERS online, since they have nothing to do with editing TRICARE / Express Scripts stuff. 

    Listen, chumps! My understanding with going ‘electronic’ is the steam-lined ability to extract stuff from the Social Security numbers!

    Anyway, I’ve discovered stuff on my own, such as that the numbers (Group, Plan, and whatever) on the cards don’t always match the current information online. So the patient is better off doing stuff online. 

    This week we received paperwork for filing the claim reimbursements to resubmit stuff which we’ve done countless times before.

    For Mom, the Express Scripts checked off the box for her OHI not reflected in DEERS.

    For Das, the Express Scripts checked off the box for his OHI and that he didn’t include the EOB’s, which we did countless times before. I noticed ‘right facing’ red arrows pointing to the Rx numbers to the electronic receipts of Walgreens. I wonder if the government is auditing or just giving us a hard time.

    The EOB’s are provided by the state, NOT by mere employers. So the state is really good and well-funded and wonder how Dad’s EOB’s went missing. 

    To Mister POTUS Trump, Can y’all please find out why the federal systems and state systems are not coordinated well? We’ve filled out and signed the D-whatever form, included the EOB’s, and electronic receipts, and priority mailed via USPS.

    What’s really going on? Are supposed to get rid of OHI and just stick with TRICARE / Express Scripts? My understanding is that patients are NOT required to have Medicare Part D (PDP). I’m confused. 

  • 20170619-1048-Stuff

    Greetings chumps,

    I’m reading ‘The Mercury News’, courtesy of ECH via nice elderly volunteers. From 1033 to 1047, I’ve read the article with ease. Reading newspapers is faster than browsing online. The smell of  lvegetable ink, the sound of crunchy paper, and the sight of large prints makes learning about current events enjoyable.

    1. ‘Rising heat = falling records’ by Rick Hurd and Robert Salonga. Yesterday was hot! We attended choir mass and ate lunch at The Cheesecake Factory. The Twit paid, which is proper. We turned on the air conditioner job arrival home. It’s cooler today.

    2. ‘The Decline Of Recycling’ by Annie Sciacca. I’m disappointed and hoped all recyclables are reused. Our local recycling closed. We use one near Lucky’s in Milpitas, CA. I notices that we are being charged around ten cents for recycling items. I guess that’s why humanz don’t care to recycle because they already ‘paid’ the price at the grocery checkout and assumed that the weekly city recycling pickups is sufficient. I don’t get it! Once again, if y’all are so ‘advanced’ technologically, can y’all take are of those plastics floating in the ocean and polluting the areas?

    3. ‘Bay Area schools still alluring for foreign students’ by Emily DeRuy. The article mentions the focus to help locals over foreigners but also dares suggests that the ‘Trump effect’ may effect the decline, especially Mexico and Chile! My incoming thought indicated that the decline is reflected from lackluster jobs due to competition with foreigners. Yup.

    So yeah, if y’all can manufacture an inexpensive electronic tablet that is less than one pound but long enough like the size of sheetmusic, please let know. I wanna speed read stuff and absorb quickly and share, NOT trudge along at snail speed, no offense to critters of shells. I was browsing online last night for a new tablet and saw the new iPad at 12.9 inches but it looks heavy!

    4. Addendum-20170619-1114. ‘Study finds bias in police stops’ by Tatiana Sanchez. No way!

    “In the Bay Area, black drivers were pulled over at twice the rate that white drivers were, the data shows.” (Refer the Stanford Open Policing Project)

    The data started 2015. So what does this tell me? Blackish humanz tend towards trouble. And since California is a liberal progressive state, the article unfairly targeted whitish humanz. I’d like to know how other humanized ‘races’ size up. I didn’t see a comparison among Asians or Hispanics.

    So I’m truly disappointed in how ‘news’ is presented. I’m gonna give this article a thumbs down in support of our law enforcers. Sheesh.

    5. Addendum-20170619-1130. ‘City drives affordable housing projects’ by Ramona Giwargis. Well, that’s nice for the artistic and cultural workers, for the homeless and low-income residents, for the veterans and special-needs persons.

    But who’s gonna pay? It looks like leverage the last year’s taxpayers ‘funds from Measure A bonds’.

    6. Addendum-20170619-1141. ‘Stanford grads hit the stage in sweltering heat’ by Lisa A. Krieger. I see the photo of Supreme Court Justice Cuellar flashing Trump’s ‘okay’ sign and the article referencing ‘boundless horizons’. My incoming thoughts indicated that if y’all are so smart, why don’t y’all go back to your homeland and uplift your hometowns instead of blaming Americans for your troubles. I see the photo of students carrying signs in support of females. But nowhere do I see a defence for males. I see the article mentioned ‘the reptile-themed’ “Dad, ur so smart Iguana be like you.”

    Symbolic of heatwave for sun bathers and worshipers alike. Yesterday, I hung two loads of laundry – clothes and towels – out to dry. In one hour each, we saved energy.

  • 20170618-2022-Stuff

    Dear readers,

    I’ve been busy cooking, cleaning, and care-giving. I’m NOT blogging daily as per my tagline and that’s because I figured God already has my ‘book of life’ drafted and ready for published, subject to change of course. So without further ado, I’ll highlight my stuff.

    1. Glenfall Tower, London, W11, United Kingdom. Once again, the mainstream ad nauseum ‘fake news’ media has been spewing forth words, such as threaten, fear, anger, scary, frightening, and such imagery of ‘pro-death’. I’ve read online the comparison between W11 (a post code for districts in Britain) and 911. Both are double-digits.

    2. Politics. Eh, I’m bored in this subject. All I know is that a bunch of REAL politicians are good at denying. I’ve learned that the shooting of congressional baseball players for last Friday’s charity event was weird in that ‘gun control’ was still being pursued as a reason to empower the ‘police state’. Trump managed to get carry-on’s in and around Washington, D.C. area. Also, my nagging thought wonder how stupid for anyone to travel from Illinois to Virginia. That’s like those ‘groupies’ following their favorite celebrities, only this one shot humanz.

    3. I’ve learned that each business (profit and non-profit) and each governmental entities have its own set of responsibilities. A pastor can only tend to his flocks. The county is responsible for controlling crazy and stupid humanz. Law enforcers can only enforce stuff that criminal. Other enforcers have their empowerment. Legal can only process administrative stuff and act as agents. Each humnaz is an agent. The Courts are truly fair and balanced. The restriction of freedom is possible with sufficient evidence, in which such materials can be used to assassinate a character in future legal proceedings. The jail system is a good method for restricting freedom, especially those who infringe upon other’s amended rights. The death penalty is a necessary evil as abortion does exist to ‘cull the herd’ of unfavorable strains of genetics

    4. I’ve been thinning out extra electronics. I’ve yet to submit two to possibly three electronic readers, one laptop and one tower. I’m tempted to replace my new laptop with something more portable and for choir. But letting go of my hoarding stuff is so difficult! My desk is tidy, thought. Um. The only papers yet to thin out are those manuals and other reference materials for furnishing, fixtures, small electronics, appliances, etc. I’m finished with scanning and archiving old papers. I’m now downloading electronic copies from online. I still retain tons of emails, including reminders, coupons, and advertisements! I just like to look at the colors, designs, fonts, media advertisement layouts, and overall progress of HUGE variety of selections to purchase!

    5. My parents and I are now attending the choir mass with me. Legal, in which its headquarters is located down by the ‘river side’, has assisted us. We learned that the owner is Mormon. I blurted out that my contact or Mormons and mouthed ‘DOJ’ to our attorney who revealed the boss’ religious affiliation.

    But this is only possible for those with THOUSANDS of dollars to spend and time to afford. Had I been working full-time, I would NOT have been able to assist the elderly couple in their fight against the forces of darkness and evil, such as the ‘low-life’ living directly adjacent to us. That’s is what happens to ‘good folks’ – the devils cause troubles and in order to ‘restrain’ them and to keep them quiet, lots of money has to be spent, whether by EBT, welfare, benefits, entitlements, and other Democrat-inspired ‘impartialities’ despite the failures of ‘diversity’ and devolving humanz prone to autism and allergies.

    6. Religion is NOT the same as tradition is giving up against liberal and progressive thinkings. But the concept of self-sacrificing in the face of death and dying has been the on-going theme. While each human continues to sin, no one is immune to death. I’ve learned that what is perceived as bad, evil, dark, or sinful could be a turning point for self-improvement. I’ve learned from a recent YouTube video that there is no distinguishable difference between demons and angels. With that said, it’s no wonder that communion or Eucharistic ministers are able to hold the ‘body of Christ’ and not burn up or melt down, like the wicked witch of the West from ‘The Wizard of Oz’.

    7. I’ve tried to believe the MAGA is possible. But it’s NOT for me. I do NOT interview well and the recruiters are dumping me into unfavorable positions, that are either offer underemployment jobs or are too far away from home. I expressed to the recruiters that being closer to home is ideal in case of emergency, since I’m the primary care-giving to an elderly couple. Sheesh.

    8. As for Dad, he’s getting older, slower, more forgetful and unsure. He would asks too many questions for guidance and directions to simple tasks. But he is still good with gardening, ONLY if Mom’s helps to speed him up by supervising him. He helps with cooking and cleaning and is the primary gardener of our yards. Dad has pruned all dark-red, very juicy plums over the weekend and has bagged four for sharing with those who deserve the stuff. It’s really good!

    9. As for Mom, she is still focused, strong-will, and wise, though she has been tough in her love. Within one month she may undergo a TAVR procedure. This may help her ‘asthma’ or rather SOB, and recent painful legs and chest pains. The mitral valve was ‘little jewel’ that a purple-eyed actress received. But due to her age and other stuff, she passed on.

    The inventor is a globalist. He believes in ‘global warming’. He is now doing administrative stuff and may become the new director.

    Mom: I don’t believe in that.
    Inventor: You don’t believe in that?

    Mom kept her mouth shut and didn’t say a word after that. Since then the guy didn’t wanna give her an echo-cardiogram despite other opinionated concerns from other specialists. I guess ‘they’ were waiting for the ‘diagnosis’ to manifest worse. And since the ‘little jewel’ lasts for 10 years, I guess this is a good time for a ‘new heart’. The other dark-skinned physician, a SAI with a strange Jewish nose’, will be performing tomorrow’s angiogram with contrast dye, which might damage the kidney’s. Mom likes her. Gee, I wonder why? Sheesh.

    10. I noticed that Jordi, aka as Trump Mafia, has been ‘borrowing or stealing’ some of my choicest words, such as ‘once again’, ‘spewing forth’, and what nots. I like the metal introductions (ACDC, Judas Priest) but with my hearing aide amplifying the noise, I have to mute the stuff. So if TM is reading this, please modify it or I’m just gonna unsubscribe. Mom thinks he is hilarious. He recently published a YouTube blog, featuring the comparison between Obama and a gibbon while ‘Anak’ was playing in the back ground. It’s a really touching song. He cried, *sniff. Brouhaha!

    11. I also noticed that Dashie is trying to control his potty mouth. Bravo! He really MUST censor himself. For all I know, parents might be complaining that their children are watching these nice Mario games and some blogger uses salty language. That’s NOT nice, not unless he is one of Satan’s minions, screaming and such. Diuge and Puk are NOT pleased.

    12. Mom and I enjoy eating ice cream at night around 21:30 or 22:00, prior to bedtime. This helps to buffer our bedtime medications, of which I continue to forget. It’s for my high cholesterol, which I’ve had all my life. The doctors said it’s controllable by reducing my carbohydrate. Do y’all mean I must STARVE! Rice is a staple diet of the Filipinos! But I’m NOT Ilocano. I’m Chinoy, meaning my face looks Chinese, my last name looks Spanish, but my forearms are dark like farmers. I’m confused as I confuse others who think I’m Korean, Japanese, Chinese, or whatnots.

    13. Mom and I have been watching Alex Jones but Mom is screaming aloud that all he does is make noise. He is one of ‘them’.

    I noticed that these bloggers make noise and expect the rest of us bottom-feeders to rise up and fight back. That’s not possible if we are NOT willing to kill or use firearms due to our ‘thou shalt not kill’ beliefs. Plus, most Filipinos won’t spend the resources to get too involved with ‘their’ problems. I’ve learned that Filipinos, especially the parishioners are good at excusing themselves by playing dumb, playing others, and ignoring.

    The Respondent is correct: I don’t like Filipinos because they keep telling me to ‘ignore’ them. I like Vietnamese because they are always there when you need help.

    But most Viets are smart and cunning and won’t do anything without being paid. The same goes for Chines. Heck, I don’t understand why anyone would do anything for free. It’s NOT practical!

    14. We bought two new blue parakeets after Buddy the older bother died, leaving Mel alone. But now Mel is hyperactive and won’t stop bothering the baby girl who still has dark eyes and a stubby tail. The baby boy is trying to stop Mel and would lunge at him. But the babies are calm. Yesterday, baby girl flew around outside the cage for the first time. Baby boy didn’t know how to follow Mel.

    15. My parents and I painted the patio furniture and three patio posts last week. We’re doing lots of things together. But that’s about it. We’re on our own, no relatives or friends to bother us. Amen.

    Watching Fox News live on this fine sunny Saturday, Mom is berating Dad on his bamboo steaks for the veggies out front.

    First, notice the time stamp of this blog post. As mentioned in my OLD blogs and almost daily, ‘ET’ (extraterrestrial) had been communicating with us. Dad had been acknowledging these uncanny events.

    Second, I agree with Mister POTUS Trump. He reasonably relied on the creep for the firing the other creep in the first. These ‘stories’ are painful to observe.

    Third, as per my old nagging thoughts, how do we NOT know that such stories are fictitious and that testimonies against fraud won’t effect anything or anyone?
