That may be true here, too. However, I do quite a bit of business with them, they know my name when I walk through the door, and they are always helpful so I don't want to do anything to jeopardize a really good relationship. He was really nice when he called, "no rush" he said.

well that's different if they know you already...

What I meant was here..if a supplier makes an error then it's their loss.. generally speaking..

Received a call yesterday from the local hardware store/lumber yard. Seems they didn't charge me for everything when I did the last pickup of materials. At that time, I thought it seemed less than expected but just paid and left. Today, I will go in and pay them the $40 I still owe. Will stop at the local grocery store for a couple of items, which never ends up being a couple of items but oh well.

It's already 80F! At 9:00 am! Crazy weather for this time of year.

When our small business had a retail component, I double-checked over every transaction after each of our 25-ish per year, large retail sale events. If an error of more than $10 was made to our detriment, I called the customer to explain the problem. No one ever decline to square up and pay what was owed us, despite it being our error.

Accidentally overcharging customers by more than a dollar or two also merited a phone call. Our customers were impressed by our honesty when I'd apologize for our error and offer the option of a refund check or a credit on their account.

Like @GoodEnuff and his hardware store, our customers were regulars who bought from us at least a couple of times a year, either in person or on line. Sure, they could have declined to pay what they came to realize they owed, but that would have reflected poorly on them.
 
When I had a dentist appointment in February the dentist had me come back in a month to check an area, then when I went back a few weeks ago she smoothed down some tooth edges and told me to come back in another month, but I got anxious and rescheduled to a couple days ago and she referred me to an Oral Surgeon to get a biopsy.

So today I had the consultation appointment and the doctor said he could do the biopsy right away if I wanted. Now my poor tongue has stitches. I'm glad to be making progress getting it evaluated (though it will take two weeks to get the pathology result), but oh my, it hurts, even though I took both the prescribed 800 mg of Ibuprofen and the optional Tramadol, it stills hurts. I've been using the ice pack off and on per the postoperative instructions on my jaw/chin areas, still hurts. Boo hoo.

I'm supposed to stick to only cold liquid type foods today and soft foods for 10 days, and no crunchy stuff for two weeks. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to have the procedure right away today because next week I'm flying to Denver for a rare family get-together (first time since my mother died in 2015), and I sure hope by the 8th day even if I'm restricted to soft foods probably I'll be able to chew and talk without pain.

I would have thought the tongue biopsy would be considered medical and covered by Medicare/Plan G, but it falls under 'dental', and cost a thousand dollars (the office staff looked really sorry to present such a large bill, but I told them I'd googled the normal cost and they were a few hundred under the top of the range and I was happy about that). On the brighter side of things, pathology is performed by the hospital and does charge Medicare, and my Part D plan covered all but 8 dollars of the 4 prescriptions.

I just hope its not cancer, the idea of that makes the money really unimportant.

to me, that is just ridiculous! Dentists have also been pulled into the opioid so called crisis. It is well known that a dental procedures such as root canals. extractions are going to cause horrible pain.

I refused to participate in their problem. If they can't provide me with pain relief, I can certainly find another dentist to give my money too that makes sure I do not have to suffer.

I am tired of having the government decide what type of care I deserve. The fact that decades of medical care shows pain relief is necessary in recovery of most procedures has been proven. Yes, there will be a few patients that fall victim to pain killers but that should not hamper the general public in medical care.
 
I walked to and from my podiatry appointment. My doctor is very pleased with how I'm taking care of my feet and over time he's had to spend less and less time on them. On the way home, I stopped at the supermarket to pick up two half gallons of almond milk. I decided to get red grapes and two Friendly's mini sundaes as well. They were out of their store brand butter bread (my favorite) and since I have some in the freezer and plan to make some bread, I didn't buy any other type of bread.

I was tired when I got home, so had a quick snack and took a nap. This evening Honorary Son #3 and I finalized the details of Saturday's broadcast, which will feature my music. We'll also talk about my inspirations, how the music came to be and I'll give some background information on the exceptionally talented people I've collaborated with: my son, my BFF and online bestie. When I get off SF, I'm going to have one of those sundaes and watch something on my tablet. For some unknown reason, I can't connect the wifi using my Roku, but my tablet is connected. I don't feel like figuring it out tonight. Tomorrow is another day.
