Lost: Insurance Card

One minute I’m groggy and filling out medical forms with my insurance card secured to clip board, the next I can’t find the damn card. I know I put it in my wallet in the catch-all zipped section that’s getting hard to zip.

I’ve been looking through my wallet and purse for three days now. I blame the waiting room trolls who prey on spacey working parents. Turn your head for a minute and they snatch all the vitals– lipstick, tampons, pens, PDA’s and assorted prescriptions.

Look for a follow-up comment to find out if I recover my card and how to ween a troll off of Vicadin.

    Polo, found it! The insurance card was in zippered section all along. It was hidden in a quad-folded card I received from the Santa Barbara Zoo listing endangered species of fish that patrons should avoid ordering at restaurants.

    “This would only happen to you,” hubbie Mark said eyes rolling.

    I don’t want to leave you hanging so here’s the fish list:

    • Chilean Seabass/Toothfish*
    • Cod:Atlantic
    • Crab King (imported)– go with Alaska or US imitation
    • Dogfish (US)*
    • Grenadier/Pacific Roughy
    • Lobster:Spiny (Caribbean imported)– order American or Maine
    • Mahi mahi/Dolphinfish (imported)
    • Monkfish
    • Orange Roughy*
    • Rockfish (trawled)*
    • Salmon (farmed, including Atlantic)* — stick to west coast salmon
    • Scallops: Sea (Mid-Atlantic)– choose Canada and Northeast Sea, instead
    • Sharks*
    • Shrimp (imported farmed or wild) — stick to US farmed or wild
    • Sturgeon* Caviar (imported wiled)– go with OR or WA wild
    • Swordfish (imported)* — choose US longline, instead
    • Tuna: Albacore, Bigeye, Yellowfin (longline)*
    • Tuna: Bluefin* — get Bigeye or Yellowfin

    *= Limit consumption due to concerns about mercury or other contaminants.
