A Night at the Movies

           Well, more like an afternoon, depending on what your particular fancy is. I, for one, cannot stand anything but movies later in the night. Preferring the last showing or two of the day has become normal for me. But, obviously, my taste cannot be extended to everyone. For instance, daytime movie goers shouldn’t even spend a dime on a ticket. Why? Well, for the most part; if you live in a major city; there is a good percentage chance that free movie screenings are available to you. What this means is basically being paid to watch a movie. Yes, I know I just said it is free. But, you are genuinely being given something for your time. Sure, you don’t get to necessarily choose the time or place. Yet, in reality, they are designed to be convenient to you and they are normally considerate of the location you were propositioned at.

            Unfortunately, being propositioned is a part of it. But, if you are truly opinionated like I am, than you may just have some fun doing it. On top of that, there is a huge likelihood that what you will view is not some two-bit sham. Often, the biggest misconception is that people who stand outside of theatres trying to get people to accept free movie tickets Los Angeles is that they are for terrible movies. It is the exact opposite, in fact. The norm is for these movies to be big budget and almost positively going to be in theaters anyways. So, you will recognize the actors with ease.

            If, after reading this, you have become enticed and changed your mind about being offered tickets; you are in luck. Free movie passes online are readily found via the web. All you need is an internet connection. Happy free film hunting!

Hearing Loss – Causes and Treatments

What makes some people lose their hearing?  There are different types of hearing loss that fall into the categories of hearing problems at birth known as congenital or acquired deafness which occurs later in life.  Causes of congenital deafness can be genetic although acquired deafness may also have a component of being inherited.  Most people that become deaf later in life however have had damage caused to their ear by loud noise.   For those who lose their hearing as a result of damage to their ear they can benefit from finding a hearing aid service that will provide them with a good functioning hearing aid.  It is possible through the help of a device to get back most of their hearing that they need in order to function at work or in their relationships.  A professional hearing aid service is a reliable source of help for people who need to rely on a hearing aid for everyday life.  They can count on the service to come to their aid if there are ever any problems with their hearing device.

While it is unfortunate that many types of deafness cannot necessarily be cured, the help of a hearing aid is enough for a person who suffers from hearing loss to be able to treat their condition in a beneficial way.  They will be able to hear in order to contribute at work and interact with friends and peers.  Hearing aid services offer them the opportunity to take advantage of technology that will allow them to overcome hearing problems.  The loss of a person’s hearing either at birth or later in life does not necessarily mean that they will never be able to hear again.  The help of a hearing aid is all they need to lead a normal life and be a functioning member of society.

Christian Rehabs Not Just For Christians – AA

So there’s this girl at the rehab that I think is really cute.  She’s a Jesus freak though.  And she says annoying things all the time, like, “I’m so glad this is a Christian rehab.”  Then she wears these really cute outfits that make me feel like I should go to jail.  I don’t know that she’s in here for problems with alcohol, she looks like someone who might have popped pills.  One of those peppy, over-achieving, secretly depressed and anxiety-stricken student council president types.  I always like those girls.  Their ambition was a strange turn-on.  I guess the benefits of drug inpatient rehab is that at least it gives the community some diversity.  I’m not going to hit on her, because, ha. . .she’s a recovering drug addict!  And I need my own intervention alcoholic to settle in more.

It made me think though.  Sometimes Christianity gets used like a brand-name, or like a logo that people put on things to make stuff acceptable to a crowd almost instantaneously.  I heard that in Orange County, pretty much everything is “Christian” from bake sales. . .to parking lots.  But it’s because business owners trust that people will spend their Christian consumer dollars on Christian busineses.  They’ll park somewhere just because the asphalt has been poured by a Christian contractor.  I never knew that tar could have religious attributes, but I’m sure marketing people could convincingly argue that it certainly can.

In any case, AA’s 12 step program that they run here is not for Christians only, but for everyone.  They do put out there that you need to acknowledge a higher power / creator / bigger than you presence and ask for help, but you don’t have to put a garland around Jesus’ neck, and that, my friends, is a relief to me, agitated heathen that I am.  I’m open to God, but he’d better not have a Costco membership.

Dancing My Victory Over Claim Reimbursement

It’s very easy to have a heart attack while dealing with medical insurance benefits.  If you have to deal with home health billing, it can be infuriating because you’re attempting to get care in the comfort of your own domicile, but the billing process inevitably takes you out of that domain into the hairy and horrible world of medical accounts receivable. My current health provider, California Blue Shield was a very active presence in my life at the beginning of the year.  With ObamaCare, I, as a woman, was guaranteed some amount of preventative care, but due to a glitch with medical billing modifiers, (those codes added to the end of your treatment descriptions), I was getting a bill for over a hundred dollars when I had expected no bill at all.  Worse, the collections company for the provider started sending me threatening letters covered with red ink.  Red ink is meant to suggest the look of blood when spilled.  It added a stressful dimension to otherwise peaceful visits to my downstairs mailbox.

In the end, I decided to pay the bill simply to alleviate the high blood pressure their accusatory letters were inducing in me daily.  You )(#)(*!!@!!, I muttered under my breath each time I opened another envelope.  There were many letters.   There were many expletives.  Once I paid the bill, they both ceased.  I felt suckered, but I felt less harassed, and I told myself it was worth it.  Imagine my surprise when Blue Shield contacted me and told me that my “special request” for claim reimbursement had been approved this “one time only”.  Well, just this one time I was going to do a little jig in my living room and have happy thoughts towards my medical insurance provider!  It was a most unexpected turn of events.  Though my heart rate increased, it was a positive experience.

The girls below can really dance.   My point has been made into Dance.

I Fell In Love With a Cosmetic Dentist

We actually met at a club.  It was dark, I was slightly buzzed on my second gin and tonic and my girlfriend had left me to go to the bathroom.  We were in the basement of some old building in Soho and the bar was packed with clean-cut men and women.  I looked like a hippie in the mix.  I found out that it was a dentistry convention.  “Smile If You Can” was the name of the post-session mixer that someone had scheduled for the attendees.   Yeah, I thought, this is great.  I’m going to meet a long beach ca dentist and all of my children will have either perfect or perfect-able — that’s right — teeth.  They may have other personality disorders from their mother (because that would be me) but at least dad and his skill set would ensure that they could smile brightly at the world all through their lives.

Needless to say, I was surprised when I met Tim.  He was standing quietly at the bar a little away from the group and he had that kind of effortlessly nerdy sexy look  that you see so much in furniture catalogs for urban professionals these days.  I don’t know what came over me, but I smiled at him.  I’d been told that I had a nice smile over the years.  “I love that gap between your teeth.  It’s so cute.”  So I beamed at him across the room.  Turbo-watts.  I guess the veneers I had put on a while back by a cosmetic dentist really were pretty good.  He came across the floor and took a seat next to me.  “You have a great smile.  Do you have a dentist you can trust?”

I wish I could say he smiled at me and then I realized he was dental professional with no teeth at all — just a mouthful of gums to offset his trendy eyeglass frames.  But instead, no, he had a sweet, wicked grin and I couldn’t help but laugh.

The Wrong Formula

          Formulas; they’re all around us. They contribute to life, as we know it, in more ways than we can comprehend. Obviously, these formulas are manmade and do not exist in nature without us. But, their existence is useful to those people who need further understanding of what’s going on in the world around them. In addition, the proper formulas can save lives, or provide treatment to those in need. Some will even theorize that there is a formula behind love itself. At the same time, those with malicious intent can create formulas that ruin lives, even the lives of children. What is being spoken of here is obviously the production of drugs. With how to manufacture meth readily available on the internet, it is no wonder that a substance like k2, or “spice” as it is known on the streets, is on the market.

            Spice addiction is the act of being hooked on a new, legal drug that is the synthetic form of marijuana. It is entirely formula based, meaning that it is artificial and dangerous. Those medical professionals that have evaluated it have determined it to be incredibly harmful. But, the long term side effects have yet to be seen. An even bigger problem lies in the fact that it is available for sale to teenagers eighteen and older. What this means is that it can be readily circulated to children; turning young drug addicts out of people who could have had at least a couple years more of development, before becoming hooked. Yes, it is true that marijuana is a problem as well. But, with testimonials showing that the high is very similar, the popularity of this substance shouldn’t be doubted. This is why spice addiction treatment is becoming more popular as of late, with more minors in these programs.
