Or the insanity of their bill collectors. I started my 2nd daughter in CA, and 
had Annie get a checkup.  They immediately billed us for the successfull 
delivery of the child despite the fact that she was born 7 months later after 
we went back to Iowa and was never again seen by any medical people in CA.

I battled with them for about 6 months, and finally told the hospital where 
the original bill came from, to go right ahead and sue, because I would sue 
them (not the bill collector) for treble damages including to my credit 
rating, and all attorney fees involved. That finally got their attention.

I must have been crazy to ever go back there again, but I was following a 
different woman, who after 17 years drove off & left me a year after I came 
to WV to the best job I'd ever had.  I was so glad that I stopped on my way 
to the room she had rented for me and had moved all my stuff into, got a 6 
pack and had a private little party to celebrate, my hellish life at her 
hands had essentially come to an end.  But that bitch is still a headache 
when we crossed paths just this past December at my sons services.  He'd 
tried to prove he could still drive his KIA sedan at 100+ mph with a quart of 
whisky in him.

Tried her darnedest to act concerned.  She was never his mother in actions or 
attitude, and I blame me 100% for the hell I put my 1st 3 children thru by 
bringing her home to play house.  Why the he!! she thought she had any 
business showing up for his services is beyond my understanding.  I feel a 
lonesomeness for my first family.  The woman, Annie Lucille, had a stroke at 
age 34 and died in '68, the 2 girls she gave me are now long gone from 
cancer, and now the son she so enthusiastically gave me is gone too.  All I 
have left to trace it are 2 or 3 pictures of a very happy period in my life. 
She made sure none of them she could find survived her.

FWIW, Dee and I celebrated our 25th back on Dec 2nd. It has been and still is, 
a _good_ quarter century. She is frugal to a fault so we have some money in 
the bank, the place is paid off now for 16 or 17 years, and other than the 
frailties that go with being an 80yo arthritic DM-II, I'm good to go another 
25 years with her if we are lucky.
Yeah, I know, TMI.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
