And to make today even more special had a deer run out in front of my truck on the way home and smashed the whole front end in. Radiator is even bent. Thankfully got it home, but my all day foul mood got even worse!

In B.C., you tell the insurance people that the animal ran out and hit your vehicle.....you're covered, insurance pays for the damage. If you say you hit the animal.....not covered, you pay

I guess that in BC you never hit an animal, they always hit your car

Zactly. Back in the 90s when I was working in the papermill, a bear hit my core-cutters car, a deer hit my backtenders car and coyote hit my car. No damage to me but the other two were covered. Also, in that four day weekend, my fifth hand hit a herd of moose in a ditch. Kinda hard to claim they hit him so he was out a whack of money. A bad weekend for animals

Several years ago, my friend's truck was totalled. He tried to explain to his insurance agent that it was hit by a Deere and she wasn't having any of it.
She said there was absolutely no way a deer could completely destroy a Ford F-350.
He said it could if it was a John Deere combine...

Still getting jerked around by health insurance. Been on hold for 25 minutes, after the courtesy call back.

Helpful hint from a long time call center worker. Hit the Spanish line. When the representative answers tell them you hit the wrong option or the phone system routed you wrong. They will help you in English. I have been on hold for an hour to two hours and that was on the provider line. The industry standard is hold time of 2 to 3 minutes. Reality is 20 minutes plus. Try using the insurance portal on line. It is usually faster. The call center is a stressful sweat shop.impossilbe standard that cannot be met. Turnover is less than a year in. No one is trained and the only think management cares about is if you can end the call in three minutes.
We were audited in three areas. In would get 100 in two areas and 94 to 97 in the third. The CEO actually went in front of us and demanded 109% audit across the board. I just laughed and laughed. I gave her so much grief for 4 years. I had a get out of jail card. She made a mistake and saying during my evaluation that since the army did not send me overseas again that they could give me a pay raise. Oooo word thing to say. I owned her at that point.
We would be on mandatory ot for months on end. My platoon sgt as a new 2lt in the national guard was a union organizer. I started talking about calling for a union vote when she walked through the break room. Then it hit the fan. We laughed for weeks. Texas is a right to work state and unions are not common. What a terrible place to work. So glad when we lost the Exxon account and I was laid off with 200 other people.

I have traced the problem to a provider that accidentally ran our claim through our old insurance. New insurance flagged our account as OHI and refused to pay. I have filed the necessary form to correct the record, but there is apparently only one person in the entire country that processes those forms.

What is ohi? Filing to the old insurance happens all the time. They should have denied it. If not the provider will need to return the money. There is no reason for the new carrier to deny the claim unless they were checking to see if you have dual coverage. I don't think only one person process the claim it is more like he/she is the only one that knows how. Wil you share the carrier's name?

Tricare. It's the health insurance for military and veterans. They switched administrators this year and are having a lot of issues.

That's what you get not blocking cookies. And others that are not that obvious.
It will try to predict on your www behavior what they will shuff up your account.
Now. It is not only face book any more. Every search will mine i.g. IP adres or name. Or what ever means of control. That's the business model. Look it up.
Twitter is a case for that. It uses feeds to control advertising.
Its not about the truth or anything that would make you a knight in shining armour.
You will not get every thing on the net. Only what fits your search profile. Now...that's dangerous. Because you might think you are in the right.
And remember... clicks pay. Not thruth.
There is no incentive anymore to do the other way.
If they do they are ridiculed etc. Because.. clicks.
By no means this is a politcal post. I just happen to know the data site a bit.

Chat GPT.
I give it a try while waiting in the airport cos they were shuttling old pics of aircraft at the airport and a 4 engined radial, twin fin, tail dragger airliner cought my attention cos I can't recognize it.
So asked Chat GPT.
First answer was some Connie model, them a Convair CV 240, Breguet 763 Deux-Ponts, SNCASO SO.9000, Boeing 314 Clipper, Dormier Do 24, more Connies, DC-4.
Only once come with a 4 engined radial, twin fin, tail dragger. The Ju 89. Shame it was a bomber.
So aviation nerds should be calm, no need to worry.
BTW, if any one could identify or have a clue about a 4 engined radial, twin fin, tail dragger, airliner, much apreciated. Post WW2. Looks like french, maybe a Lioré et Olivier design

Tricare is hit or miss. I have worked with for many years. They change contracted administrators and the wheels fall off. Lets change and save a little money then nothing works. Once the new group figures it out, the contract over and a new group takes over
Try with the SNCASE SE.161 Languedoc.
