How devastating the closing of the Medicare Office must have been in your area. Not good indeed.Juliethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01542985048406828693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078877172139600813.post-40606405863429991652016-05-03T17:33:14.750+12:002016-05-03T17:33:14.750+12:00Yes, time just keeps marching by at ever-increasin...Yes, time just keeps marching by at ever-increasing speed (or so it seems). How annoying about the post box! You'd think that even with decreasing amounts of mail they could still manage to keep up with the services. I do feel so very sorry for the elderly in our community who have all these levels of services being removed. Recently our Medicare office was shut down without a moment's notice. All the elderly in our area (and there are thousands of them), would walk up to Medicare and hand in their medical receipts etc and have their claims processed. Now the nearest office is a half hour away by car and many of the elderly don't even drive so how can they even get there. It's not good xxHotly Spicedhttp://hotlyspiced.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078877172139600813.post-55161622912662761382016-03-29T12:07:16.134+13:002016-03-29T12:07:16.134+13:00Thank you Vicki!

One owas sick with me - she told me what to do .. age 5 or 6 I guess ... I did - she waited, she was sick, and that was it! I'm glad I didn't have yours ... but the youngster I presume slept through, having not done so the day before.<br /><br />Good luck with all your ventures - they sound amazing .. there certainly is lots of opportunity out there - all the best and good to see you again and to 'hear' your calming words and read your thoughtful wisdom.
