And when you question the amount they won't give a straight answer. "Emergency room is expensive" blah blah woof woof. Short time ago Puppy got carried away & nipped my thumb. Since I couldn't remember the last one, I decided to get a tetanus shot. They gave me the shot & put a dab of ointment on the tooth mark. Price was 9 bucks for 1/10 gram ointment plus 25 bucks to smear it on. There were other outrageous charges that I bargained down to 25%. Minimum of $1800 to walk in the door, whether or not they actually do anything. Tetanus shot was somewhere around 350 bucks, don't remember exactly. Retail price of the same ointment is $2.90 per ounce, 28 grams, 280 doses. That's $2520 per ounce, or 900 time the retail price. No need for emergency room, I walked in the door bright eyed & bushy tailed at 9am, no big hurry. Any time there is a chance insurance can be involved is the same. If you take your car to body shop for a few dents or sctatches not covered, watch the price. It was a few years ago & I'm sure rates are higher now, but when I had mine in for accident repair i was floored. Sign said - IF insurance covered, rate was $49 per hour. Owner cash payment rate was $ 78 per hour. A city owned vehicle had hit me in the side, their insurance paid, actually sent check based on written bid.. When done, the bill was almost double the written bid. I told them to take it up with the City if they wanted more. Willie

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
