]]>I know from experience that if you pay at least $10 per month on the medical bills they will not send you to collection. NEVER put medical bills on a credit card, because the doctors don’t charge interest and will accept the small payments. If you put it on a credit card the interest will accrue every month.
Krystal: the reason you will want to make arrangements and pay on your medical bills is that the next time you want to buy something the will be those negative entries on your credit report. Eventually you WILL try to buy a house or a car or furniture, and not paying your medical bills will effectively deny you that privilege. $10 a month is an acceptable payment to make. Just because someone else doesn’t pay their bills is no reason for you not to. We have been paying on a $6500 hospital bill since July 2005. It will be paid off sometime this summer.
Talina: when my daughter in law was pregnant the first time, they were living in Texas and all the relatives on both sides were in Georgia. I held a baby shower for her anyway. I sent out invitations, with a wish list, and explained that they lived in Texas (he was in the Air Force). The gifts were to be dropped off at Mail Boxes Etc. in our town, and on a certain date I would pay for postage to ship the gifts. It worked great! People dropped off gifts at their leisure for the “FabGrandma Baby Shower” and signed a baby shower registry. The people at MBE packed them and prepared for shipping. I just went and paid the postage.
When she opened the gifts, my son video taped it and sent the tape to me, and I shared it with anyone who wanted to see it. That was in 1996.

Third, Does the farm have a payment plan? I dentist makes his clients sign up for this “care credit” thing, but we didnt qulify for it. He was nice enough to set up a payment plan for me. Maybe you could explain this to the Farm and they can do the same?

]]>I suspected it would be a good “first priority item” that we hopefully get via the baby shower, I did register for one at amazon.com.
If someone doesn’t buy it for us we’ll head over to goodwill or some other consignment shop and get one once Tater is here and the birth is paid for.
We are pretty much past the whole “get the latest and greatest, best of the best” thing. Sure we have dreams and ideas about how we would like things to be and we’ve gone ahead and picked it all out on the registries and whatnot but that doesn’t mean we HAVE to have it all.
For me the most important thing is to make it all work within our means so we can live comfortably and have all the necessities for Tater.
The hard thing is being patient and trusting that it will all work out and that we’ll have just what we need.
LOL, like N said… gotta love those hormones. Some girls cry and get real emotional, me I just get anxiety and have my little freak outs. Good times.
