Butt-on Holes And All Fugglered Up

 The Granddaughter's Chazza she works at must stop getting such good Inventory in, I can't always resist!  *Le Sigh*   They had a large articulated Japanese Anime Doll that Retails for around $350 there for under $30 and it was Senior Discount Day 30% Off, so, hadda get it!  They had some Moon Oracle Cards too in the Locked Case, so, le sigh, hadda get them too!  Both of The G-Kid Force Love Anime and have even way before it became so popular and a Fad.  I know how much the Imports from Japan can fetch, people will pay outrageous amounts for them and it's rare to see them Donated to a Chazza, but, it has happened so I keep an Eye peeled for them.  I've gotten The Young Prince and Princess T some Primo ones before, worth a lot, but this is the largest one I've Scored for them, even the Box has a Fancy Satin Pillow to next him in.   Not sure, but he could be the Soul Eater Character?

His Fashionable Leatherette outfit has deteriorated and degraded, it is flaking off badly, so I don't know how old he is and if that's why they Donated him?  He doesn't look played with or abused in any way, so I'm thinking it's just normal Age or Temperature deterioration of the Costume.  I don't Care, the Outfits can be replaced and are Sold Online if the Kiddos wanted to Invest in a new Wardrobe for him.  I wouldn't bother since Pleather does this.  I read Online it's a typical Complaint, since it's a synthetic material that has a plastic-y faux 'Leather' layer glued to a fabric layer and over Time this top layer cracks and flakes off.  So, people have had problems with this as an expensive Collectible deteriorating after they Invested a small fortune in them and having the Outfits degrading badly no matter how much Care they've given the item.  In Collectibles and Resale, Condition is everything.

I also got some New Old Stock Human Hair Eyelashes in a Bagged Lot for only $3 for all, the Eyelashes Retail even at Wal-Mart for $39.99.  I thought Princess T would be Jazzed about them, she wasn't, oh well, mebbe if she won't wear them she can glue them on me?  I need Eyelashes badly, my Old Lady Lashes are practically non-existent and it's tragic coz I used to have long Natural Eyelashes when Young.  I'm getting all the more less Hairy with Age, I'll be like one of those Hairless Cats or Chihuahuas soon, smooth as a Baby's Bum.  *Bwahahahaha*  I'm still Obsessing about the Above Necklace a Vendor Friend had at the Eastside Event and Antique Mall she has Spaces in.  I don't know if she Sold it yet or not and they suspend the Event for the Summer Months, so know I'll have to wait now and ask her come Fall if she still has it in Inventory?   After that Bee Sting has Saved The Man's Life, well, it's even more apropos, No?   *LOL*

I keep wanting to take a Nap and it's only 4:00 p.m., so I know if I lay down now I'll Sleep all the way thru the rest of the Day and Wake at some Crazy Hour of the Morning now!   I'm on my increased dosage of Ozempic as of Today, my Doc bumped me up to double what the initial dose was once she knew I could tolerate it.  So, I don't know if that has anything to do with how Tired I feel or if it's becoz it's damned near 121 Degrees again Today and will stay this Hot all Week?   Could be a combo of both?  *Le Sigh*   Express Scripts just sent me more of it, so there's another $76 I gotta come up with on Payday.  It's a lot more expensive than Trulicity was in co-pay, it was $35 an Order.   But, I am not complaining coz initially they wouldn't even approve it and didn't wanna cover it at all due to the Cost.  I had to threaten the Insurance with intending to be a LOT more expensive when I had the next Stroke or a Heart Attack becoz they were denying me the Meds my Specialists Ordered for me.  *Winks*

They had a fresh Revelation then becoz tho' I stayed Calm for the Phone Call Appeal and Fight with them, they knew I was NOT bluffing.   It's a Pay now or Pay MUCH MORE Later Scenario.  And they're always trying to Save a Buck, so, it made Financial Sense for them to just pay for the damned Ozempic Rx rather than Ambulance, ER, Hospitalization, Surgery, Long Term Care, Lawsuits, or whatever else a Stroke or Heart Attack might end up Costing them otherwise for a Denial.  I told them I'm sturdy enuf, spiteful enuf, and stubborn enuf to be the Type that would Linger a long, long, ridiculously expensive Time, Trust and Believe.   They know how to do a Prospectus on the spot when Threatened like that by a Dead Serious Insured Client.  *Winks*  I'm sure they Deny everyone initially, they just prefer it when you don't Fight back.  But, I'm a Fighter, always good for a Throw Down.  I'll gladly go to the Dirt with you.  I've never started a Fight in my Life, but I've ended many a one with a flourish.  *Smiles*   I don't even Care if I Win or Lose, but I will cause significant Damage.

  I've done it and played their Insurance Co. Game before, not only with The Man, but with The G-Kid Force, with my Mom... sometimes you just HAVE to let Dark Dawn out to Play Russian Roulette with the Insurance Companies and see who Blinks and Flakes Out first... coz I sure as Hell won't.  Don't threaten me with a good time.  Especially if you've made it so that I ain't got Nothing to Lose... coz someone with Nothing to Lose is a formidable Adversary.  You best have Nothing to Lose as well, or you definitely will be a Loser in that Death Match.  Add a layer of Crazy that becomes Evident, and they really would rather Approve whatever it is than have to keep Dealing with you, I can go long and outlast almost anyone, I got Stamina in a Fight.  I always identify who I'm talking to so they become my new "Best Friend" they don't wanna really be.  Becoz I make sure I become their worst Nightmare and they become my absolute Obsession and Mission in Life.  I will Fixate on any Adversary in such a way as us Mental Folks just do effortlessly when a Take Down or a Victory is our Goal.   And if I'm going Down, I'm taking everyone with me. *Winks* 

 So, yeah, the Ozempic got Approved without a Formal Appeal, just a Phone Call. *Bwahahahahahaha*  My Primary Doc, my Neurologist and my Cardiologist were duly Impressed... since none of them had been able to get it pushed thru, and they had tried and tried to no avail and were upset about it.  Coz my Insurances are what they just are and I couldn't afford it Out of Pocket, that's for damned sure.  I let them try first, then said I'd make a Call and get back to them in Minutes... which is all it took to change the Hearts and Minds of whoever had the Authority to push it thru and Cover it rather than have to ever Deal with me again.  They knew I had their Companies Number and nothing but Time on my Hands to be the biggest Headache and intense Drama for their Employees every single Day if I had to be.   It would be like Free fucking Therapy on their Dime as far as I was concerned, so, I didn't Care, play me Hard or Play me Soft, their Choice, choose Wisely.   I'd have relentlessly tenacious Wicked Fun with it, but they sure wouldn't. *Winks*   Hey, it could be Life or Death for me, so, would they Fight as hard really, as I'd be willing to?  I doubt it, they're just Employed there.

 They'll get a Paycheck whether their Company covers my Meds or not... so... which is easier for them... at the end of the Day, if I just won't go away lest I get Approved???  So, yeah, I'll pay the extra Co-Pay now, coz that shit IS Expensive!  *LOL*  It's about $995 to $1,200 Monthly without Insurance Coverage!!!   Trulicity was $987 tho', so... they were OK with covering that, but that didn't Work for me anymore and lost it's efficacy.  And it annoys me when you talk to Insurance Companies after being their Client and on a particular Medicine they have covered for you to be on for Years.   And when the Doc switches you and they Deny your coverage for the New Med and then "Suggest", why don't you TRY the very Med you've been on all that time... as if you never tried it!  And you're like, do you even keep Records, coz I been on THAT for Years now, you sent it to me Monthly for Years now, it don't Work anymore, that's why the Doctors are changing it, after I had a fucking STROKE, you Morons!!!  Coz, I'd prefer not to have another one.  And you know how much this last one Cost your Insurance Company, if ya wanna look that up too???  *Winks*  You have to see the Dark Gallow's Humor in it all.

But, all Dark Gallow's Humor put aside, it is tragic that in the Richest and most Prosperous Country on Earth, we have the most abysmal Healthcare Coverage for our Citizens than any other First World Nation, and even some Third World Nations!!!   Why is that?  It's not coz America can't Afford it.   Big Pharma is filthy Rich, so it's not as if they couldn't provide Affordable Medication for all either, they could, other Nations do and still have a healthy enuf Profit Margin.  Here in Arizona so many Americans go to our 3rd World and closest Trading Partner, Mexico, to get their Medications, and sometimes their Dental and Healthcare too.   And you know what, it's not only Cheaper, it's usually better. The Daughter lived there for almost Two Decades and said when you get Mexican Pharma, it's far Superior to what you get in America and Cures whatever ails you faster and more effectively.   And it's becoz they know most of their Population isn't in a position to pay outrageously inflated costs for any of it, so if they want a Healthy Population, it just makes Sense.  Insatiable Corporate Greed and unchecked Capitalism is America's Problem.

And yes, I've had some folks call me a Populist Socialist, as if that would hurt my Feelings or I should defend whatever Label they Imagine I am.  *LOL*  But I will call them an Idiot, becoz the very same folks will be perfectly Fine with bailing out Big Corporations and Billionaires, while not getting ahead themselves becoz they're part of the 99% like the rest of us and not part of the 1% Elite taking Advantage and Oppressing them too.  The distribution of Wealth isn't in their Favor either, but they feel the Need to defend the insatiable Greed and Capitalism gone amok.   I'm not against folks making Money at all... I'm not against Capitalism if it's working for most of us... but when it's not, I Call it Out.   I think it's absolutely Crazy that 99% of the Population is letting 1% of the Population Oppress them, that's all.  There's MORE of us... think about that for just a Nanosecond, if a Fight or True Resistance should break out, and the shit really hits the Fan, who really would have the Advantage do ya think?   *Smiles Wickedly* 

Okay, so, I'll settle down now until Anarchy actually happens.  *LOL and Winks*  Just know I have no problems being Good Trouble, I always have been, always will be, I make no apologies for it.   Some things are worth Fighting for, Protecting and Preserving, you just have to figure out what that is for each of you???   And if you won't put up a Fight for anything, chances are, someone will just end up taking it from you coz they see you as an Easy Mark and their next Victim, then you won't have it anymore.   The Granddaughter and Rusty just came in with my early Birthday pressy from her.  She knew I Love those little new Fuggler Keychains.  I'd Scored one at a Chazza and had a Collection of the Full Sized Fugglers I've Collected over the Years.  Now "Five Below" has the Keychain ones and she got me Nine of them for my Birthday!  I was like a Kid at Christmas!  *LOL*  I'm such a Big Kid at Heart that an unexpected Gift like this was a Big Thrill and she knew it would be, so she was excited to see my excitement, so was Rusty.  He'd driven pretty far to find these for her to get for me, Bless him. 

This one is called The Cod Father... LOL

It's impossible for me to have a Favorite.  I would have been agonized for Choice if I'd been there and didn't expect her to get me an Instant Collection this good as my Birthday early Surprise Gift!   They have a Butt-on Hole as a little Asshole, it's Adorable.  *LOL*   The Butt-on Holes come in Common and Not So Common or Rarer Colored Butt-on Holes as a Gimmick.

This is a Duo of some Fav Fuggler Keychains that match some large size ones I have in my Collection that I managed to Score together from an E-Bay Seller for my Birthday on a Buy-It-Now Feature.   So it tickled me that my Granddaughter had paid attention to what I would really like as a Birthday Gift, she does pay attention to what you want and like, she gives good thoughtful Gifts like that.   Some other Lurker had put these in their Cart but hadn't checked out so I Ponied Up and snatched them... when you snooze you lose if you just plop things in your Cart but don't Check Out and Pay for them.  You also get a lot of Watchers and the Auction now will tell you how many Watchers/Lurkers are Eyeballing something.  They may or may not be Serious Buyers, I'm a Serious Buyer if I want something, I don't hesitate.  I actually prefer if it's offered on a Buy-It-Now Feature to skip making a Bid and just Buy it, eliminating not only not being a last Second Winning Bid, but, not get into a Bidding War either. 

And how Adorbs is this Home Made Alien Abduction Halloween Costume?
