Picturesque AF.
I can’t help but love living here. It’s just too beautiful. Pity about the people though. And I know I’ll have to move away when I retire or I’ll die from a broken hip.
The stars are indicating a pretty good week, domestically. The Mars/Venus conjunction continues to be the dominant feature, but has a number of other auspicious interactions. On Tuesday, the waxing moon adds to the alignment indicating growth in a relationship or the beginning of a new one. Wednesday and Thursday we get a supplemental alignment of Mercury and Jupiter with Venus, indicating that this luck/love is most applicable to an established or “legitimate” relationship. It can also indicate that a governmental figure will make sexual overtures towards you, but knowing this crowd, I find that extremely unlikely. That alignment doesn’t last as Mercury doesn’t stay in one place for very long. By Friday, it’s moved into a different one, this time with the (still waxing) moon and Earth, in yet another indication of good luck at home.
If you want to find a wild Lily, check woodland streams. Particularly ones fed by snowmelt.
Overall, the conditions are not much changed since last week. Aquarius sill has the Mars/Venus conjunction dragged down by Saturn (technically, don’t take your loved one for a boat ride) and Pisces has most (but not all) of the luck what with the sun, Mercury and Jupiter. The moon in Scorpio indicates “things which are hidden,” but this week has been way too busy and I really don’t have time to go searching for what this particular hidden thing might be. You’re on your own there, sorry.
There are two streams that run through the park called “Hemlock Trail.” Lily is evaluating which one is best for playing in.
Pisces: 5 of Swords – Humiliating defeat that leads to your gain.
Aries: Page of Coins – Application, study, scholarship, reflection, news, rule, management.
Taurus: 4 of Coins reversed – Suspense, delay, opposition.
Gemini: 8 of Swords – Bad news, violent chagrin, crisis, censure, power in trammels, conflict, calumny, sickness. It could be worse — at least it’s not The Tower.
Cancer: 5 of Coins – Material trouble, love and lovers, concordance, affinities.
Leo: 10 of Wands reversed – Contrarieties, difficulties, intrigues.
Virgo: Knight of Cups – Arrival, approach, advances, proposition, demeanor, invitation, incitement.
Libra: King of Coins – Valor, realizing intelligence, business and intellectual aptitude, mathematical gifts, success in these fields.
Scorpio: The Fool – Folly, mania, extravagance, intoxication, delirium, frenzy, bewrayment.
Sagittarius: Knight of Swords reversed – Imprudence, incapacity, extravagance.
Capricorn: The Hermit Reversed – Concealment, disguise, policy, fear, unreasoned caution.
Aquarius: The Hanged Man – Wisdom, circumspection, discernment, trials, sacrifice, intuition, divination, prophecy.
Not in the least bit happy.
this post is an hour early goddamnit. I did not yet finish my Szechuan Peppercorn and Chili Peppers Pilsener
It’s OK, I already decreed that it’s hipster juice. My bottomless pit story lies abandoned as well.
There’s really nothing wrong with pouring out a beer…
Cave Creek Chili beer was one of the very few beers that I found to be utterly undrinkable. Two sips and I was done and poured the rest out, and I’m a guy who loves spicy food. Just not in my beer thanks.
Cancer: 5 of Coins – Material trouble, love and lovers, concordance, affinities. – wtf does that mean? speak sense stars
Still beats Gemini.
“wtf does that mean?”
It means that if you throw something out there, anything, ‘someone’ will believe it. Then you set up your fortune teller kiosk and wait for ‘someone’ to bite…

Hey, an idea, maybe if we can just learn Putin’s sign, Joe and Kammie can figure out how to beat him.
I know a lot of these jokes miss, but I do use the correct signs

Ah, good. Back to normal.

Been watching a lot of #vanlife vids. Ithink it’s cool, and I wish I could have done that when I was younger, but if simething hapoened to Mr Mojeaux, I don’t think I’d do it now. I road trip to get somewhere, not to stop and see the world’s biggest ball of yarn or stop by Bob Dole’s birthplace. I am not a dog person. But if I were a #vanlife person, I do believe I would become a dog person.
Anyway, I’m doing my medical coding course (LEARN. TO. CODE.). It’s been pretty easy up till now. Now I have 131 pages of reading and exercises to get through in the 4-7 days allotted. (This is why I didn’t go to law school.) Since I’ve been getting through a section a day, and I am about 8 days ahead, this is really harshing my groove. I should be studying, but here I am, looking at my horror scope with you people. It doesn’t help that I’ve got questions and the instructors are given 1-3 business days to answer them. Oh well. Failure is not an option and so far my grade for tests and quizzes is 97%.
97%

For context.
For Glibertarians, W53.29 is the appropriate ICD-10 code.
I enjoy this game, but it made me wonder if this is what you do for a living?
I do work with health insurance processing, but I only know a few of the codes that show up a lot (eg. E11.9 for diabetes, I10 for hypertension, and F84.0 for autism) since I don’t actually need to know them. I just figured that when you said you were learning medical coding, I’d open up an ICD-10 site and look up some of the more unusual codes.
Speaking of F84.0, the local autism care center scam has a new radio spot out saying that the autism rate has changed again; it used to be 1 in 69 and has steadily increased to where they’re now claiming it’s 1 in 44. If everybody has autism, does anybody have autism?
1 in 44
I’m pretty sure I saw Meatloaf on FoxNews explain that the Pfizer vaccine alone is responsible for at least that rate.
Autism is a description of symptoms. It’s primarily caused by neurological inflammation.
Could the vaccines cause an increase in the rate? I think so, but I don’t know what the vaccination rates are for the very young.
what part of MEATLOAF do you not understand !!!1!
The part that wouldn’t be done for love.
Sorry dude, I’m listening to a lecture on the book of Genesis. I’m barely keeping up with the names and begats at this moment. My attention is rather split.
Gabriel-era Genesis or Collins-era Genesis?
Currently 100 year old Abraham is trying to convince his 90 year old wife Sara to get jiggy with him so they can conceive.
Hawt.
I hope to be that spry at 100.
Can you make heads or tails out the code book, Mo? I sure can’t. I just look at the pretty drawings.
Yes, if you always go to the alpha first, and then the numeric second. But the exercises contain trick questions designed to force you to ask an instructor. “A coder NEVER guesses.” Well, when your instructor has 1-3 biz days to answer you and I have a deadline (self-imposed, but still), and it’s the weekend, it’s hard not to guess. In the workplace, I assume I can ask someone and get a near-immediate answer. So, on two questions (one graded), I had narrowed the code down to two each and I had to pick which one. I got both wrong, but I don’t know why, so Iam awaiting those responses.
I need to get cracking. Those 131 pages aren’t going to read themselves.
By the way, the course is designed to be finished in a year to 20 months with part-time study. I can spend 40 hours a week on it right now, so that is what I am doing.
I need to get cracking. Those 131 pages aren’t going to read themselves.
Get to work, and ignore this rabble!
Mrs. T. says she is going to set a test date to force herself to get cracking too. I asked it would help for me to disable her personal desktop which sits near her work laptop/dock. Bad idea.
Forgive me, but remind me what she is doing? What test is she preparing for?
Certified Coding Specialist (CCS)
Oh yes. I believe that is in my future, hopefully this year.
Well good luck. That is what you were going for, I thought.
There are a whole slew of them, according to the course I’m taking and I couldn’t remember all the acronyms or which one was top dog.
So I will be taking CCS and I believe I’ll go for the CPC, too.
It might seem I’m a little flighty about this, but all I needed to know at the time was “Are there certs?” and “Will the course prepare me for them?” Yes? Okay, let’s go.
She went to AHIMA, but she didn’t see the CPC apparently. It sound like a good cert to get. She is just doing this in case she to pad her resume in case she gets canned. She knows most of it already because she is CDI, which pretty much requires an RN.
Wow that’s weird. I just made a comment and got a W53.29 myself.
how am I supposed to code a double camel stomping?

[fires up ICD-10 website]
Looks like W55.39 — other contact with hoof stock.
My mom and her husband do this in retirement, and we knew a couple who, with their toddler, did the sailboat life in the early eighties. That guy learned to code and she was a nurse. Afterward, they opened a B&B. They loved it, the kid ended up fucked up.

*prophecy* I divine that this week will include financial sacrifice due to the beef between my boss and a certain person working a store we buy paint from. Pretty sure we got sold a bad five gallon bucket of paint out of spite. Discernment lends me the belief that this will cause the job to extend a few days past the predicted date. Making everyone unhappy.
P.S. This was the job I was going to post an article on. Fuck that shit. I’ll wait for the next one.

I’m a Taurus.
Well, guess it’s time to either have another cup of coffee or try another round of sleep. Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh…fuck me. Ha!
‘(LEARN. TO. CODE.)
That’s not the code mean libertarians were referring to when they said learn to code.
No! Really?!
Just call him a super fag.
Funny, she was just calling Broccolitard a super fag in the other thread.
I sure as hell hope I am not the “she” referenced, because I did no such thing.
Wait, that wasn’t you? I just assumed that everyone did it.
Sorry, it’s just my nature to mansplain these things regardless, because you never know, it’s my debt to society which will be much poorer without my wise and benevolent assistance.
It’s double filet day here. ?
One set down, one to go.
If we’re heading to an apocalypse, get your good eating in now.
I was just out of bed and sitting at my desk yesterday morning thinking that I’m going to fire up the grill later on in the day, and then looked out the window and it’s freaking snowing. I have two big filets in the freezer and some other stuff and I guess it’s all staying in there for another day.
Meanwhile, in Australia…

But if we only had socialism, all of your government mandated things would be free.
Free, free, free. My wife’s had the news on more because of Ukraine, and every time I see Biden, he’s walking around mumbling about how everything should be free.
Oh, except when he’s blathering about how inflation is Russia’s fault, and has nothing to do with government spending. Sure, it’s Russia’s fault. Makes perfect sense.
Taibbi on point, as usual…
Just finished reading that.
It’s difficult not to despair.

Slutty Sunday.
Was hoping for something along the lines of “sex and other wild debaucheries”
I’m apparently going to get approached by someone with a proposition with an invitation to incitement. Which sounds like something sexual or FBI entrapment, maybe both? Watch out for honeypots, Virgos.
Sex with pages? You’ve been in DC too long.
Unbelievably, I’ve never had sex with a bureaucrat or politician (not including masturbation).

Today is MikeS.’ birthday. He turns the odometer over to 50 (just a youngin’). Be sure to razz him if he shows up.
He’s probably still asleep after the festivities yesterday.
MikeS is only 50? He’s led a tough life.
Just kidding, MikeS looks younger than me.
Happy Birthday, MikeS, your Mom raised a fine boy and you weren’t too bad either though.
Ha!

Ordinarily, no. But since you’re a lawyer…
