I am working on a 2012 New Years post, but I want to move all this stuff to the new hosting first. Expect it online by Wed :)

Ken

This will be short – it is just a placeholder post to say happy thanksgiving to all!

More soon :)

Ken

That’s right, I did not forget you!

Never let it be said I did not love you. Here, I use my awesome power to support a minion in her search for information. Not only will you be helping her, but this is a request from I, your Minion Lord!

Task 1

Contact Blue Cross / Blue Shield and find out if the "pre-existing condition" exclusion is 12 or 18 months. To explain… if I have a condition that was NOT under the care of an insurance company (i.e. a coverage lapse) but then got insurance with carrier whoever, how long would I need to be with that carrier before Blue Cross / Shield no longer considered it an uninsured pre-existing condition when I transfer coverage to them?

There is conflicting information, and I need to be sure. If it is different for the various types of plans, please fill me in on them individually.

Task 2

In the Wichita / Haysville Kansas area, I have need of the names of 1-3 competent lawyers who can help with issues surrounding applications for Medicaid / Medicare. This is to include issues of estate protection, maximizing benefits and optimizing finances to help insure acceptance. If they can additionally assist with an understanding of benefits, so much the better. Contact info, websites and information about rates and / or free consultations are the goal. Bonus points if you contact them or their office by phone or email to verify that this is an area they can assist with.

Task 3

In the Wichita / Haysville Kansas area, I have need of contact information for support programs for cancer patients. This is a wide ranging request. We are looking for…

• Discussion / emotional support
• Transportation (to / from Dr. and Hospital)
• Advocacy in dealing with insurance / government

There are a few large organizations, but they act somewhat as clearing house and are in a way too big. Feel free to use them as starting points, but I could use a drill down.

Thanks Minions!

According to Japanese legend, if a koi succeeded in climbing the falls at a point called Dragon Gate on the Yellow River, it would be transformed into a dragon. Based on that legend, it became a symbol of worldly aspiration and advancement.

More generally, the Japanese associate koi with perseverance in adversity and strength of purpose. Because of its strength and determination to overcome obstacles, it stands for courage and the ability to attain high goals.

Interesting!

As to why these links are relevant? I will upload my actual response to this blog right after I finish it :)

1. Find a store in your area that you can visit that sells Axe brand scent products
2. Go smell them
3. Give me your opinion of the variation you prefer, and why

My current picks are "Pheonix" for everyday and sport use as I really like the clean, simple almost "soap" like smell.  For special occasions, I am experimenting with "Twist" as it is a slightly more sophisticated scent that has multiple stages. I am open to other variations, I am also open to other brands but I will stillw ant your evaluation of the Axe line.

1. Checking Account
2. Visa or Mastercard logo’d debit card
3. The price of the account per month with a balance of almost zero (in short, I don’t care that if I have $1000 in it it’s free)
4. The overdraft fees PER TRANSACTION if they occur both WITH and WITHOUT overdraft protection
5. Overdraft options that are NOT credit check based – e.g. savings account or a unrelated credit card

I am not absolutely hung up on physical branch access, but I will prefer banks that have branches in 07032.

Note: Requirement number 5 prevents me from using ING Direct

Go get ‘em minions!
