Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2005OT: The Friendly Creditor
Just got a phone call from a creditor asking if I could pay them $X today. Nope, if you check my account records I've been paying $x and am unemployed. She chatted with me for a few minutes and then said, "Ramen noodles start tasting real good about this point!" Yeah, especially when you can get 8 packs for $1 :) She said "Oh! Where'd you find THAT deal?" LOL Ramen isn't bad. Ditch the "spice packet"; use broth, your own seasoning and add some frozen veggies.

Mom hates it, but it's usually not too bad if you don't inhale much. ;-) That's also how I know what happens when one cooks red cabbage in a soup. Very interesting color. - Denise Brennasmeowmy >> Just got a phone call from a creditor asking if I could pay them $X >> today.

Over on alt.binaries.food they call that "musgovian" as in, "everything must go" cuisine.

Very interesting color. > > - Denise Brennasmeowmy LOL The seasoning packets are mostly salt; I'll admit to using them on occasion if I buy the "spicy" noodles but for chicken or beef I prefer to use broth.

Joel's 'maiden' surname is "Watson" and so we call such meals "Watson" meals, because of the question "Whats for dinner?" "Watson[whats in] the cupboard!" Yowie I ate lots of Ramen when I was a student. Haven't touched that stuff since, even though I am also unemployed.

Haven't touched that stuff since, >even though I am also unemployed. Once I was telling a friend of mine that I bought a bunch of instant ramen noodles. She jokingly asked if I was having budget problems. Then, I told her how much the ramen cost. "One hundred fifty-one dollars??!!!" www.ramendepot.com. The ones that I like I think cost about $7 per packet, unfortunately. :) >> I ate lots of Ramen when I was a student. Haven't touched that stuff >> since, even though I am also unemployed.

Might just order some of the Tom Yum Thai Noodles :) Jill > Just got a phone call from a creditor asking if I could pay them $X today. > Nope, if you check my account records I've been paying $x and am unemployed.

Unfortunately I can't commit to $159 every month because I just don't know if I'll have it or not. Right now I do, but 3 months from now? Hmmm. At least it's on record I'm making monthly payments, a good faith effort if you will. The Ramen noodles came up as a joke and she said it's good you have a sense of humour. I said if I didn't I'd have drowned in my own tears years ago! She was very nice. Jill > >> Just got a phone call from a creditor asking if I could pay them $X > >> today.

We're still purring that the bureaucracy gets off its butt and get you on disability. Hugs, CatNipped >>>> Just got a phone call from a creditor asking if I could pay them $X >>>> today. Nope, if you check my account records I've been paying $x [quoted text clipped - 40 lines] > > CatNipped Haven't heard anything. The first exam I had (medical) the doctor explained how it works. After all the tests/exams are done it goes from the examiner to a "committee". So I guess the committee has this now as they haven't (as yet) scheduled me for another kind of examination for anything. Could take a while and I fully expect them to deny my claim.

They have up to six months to make a determination about your status, but it usually takes about three months, from what they told us about Rob's claim. Pam S. Could take a while and I fully expect them to deny my claim. It's the same the World over. Dave gets some disability money and the hassle he has had over the years.....Every 5-10 years he has to go and show them that he hasn't managed to grow new fingers! The winner was a doctor (I KNOW some of them are idiots but this one wins hands down!) who asked him "And how long have you had a congenital hand deformity?" D'OH!!!! Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs > Could take > a while and I fully expect them to deny my claim. [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Slave of the Fabulous Furballs I cannot forget the winning question at a press conference before the Super Bowl won by the Washington Redskins, including many great performances but none less than a spectacular display of passing by Doug Williams.

Ermmm..... my dictionary defines "congenital" as "existing at or from one's birth"! I gather that is not the case with Dave, but if it were, how long would the doctor THINK he'd had it????? > D'OH!!!! > > Lesley > > Slave of the Fabulous Furballs >> Could take >> a while and I fully expect them to deny my claim.

I do believe that was the point in this case, the meaning of congenital.

Those things are very good, but also very fatty. I was amazed when I looked at the breakdown. You can get the same kind of noodles plain and not much more expensive and add your own stuff. Also good to add: cheap cuts of meat, braised until they fall apart (crockpot!) and your frozen veggies! |
