I just received the ER bill last night. It was $1200 for emergency room and $40 for pharmacy. They didn't do anything for Mantou, except give him some advil drop, and the doctor spent less than 15 minutes on him. We spent majority of the time waiting.
我推理萌爸停车离curb太近了，所以车被拖，不过，我还是打电话到拖车公司去询问，结果很龌龊，人家居然说，我们趴车离curb太远了，停在马路中间了，what a joke！情况基本清楚了，就是家缺德的拖车公司，同事说，可能HOA OFFICE的人拿了好处，才授权这家公司来拖车。。。

My neighbours called our HOA's president and got our property manager fired (or transferred to some other places). It's worth a try, if you are up for it. But the most important thing is to round up your neighbors to complain about it. You guys all need to call or mail. The more people complain about it, the better.
A couple points you can make:
1. You parked properly, in front of your own house, and didn't violate any regulations. Did the towing company have proof? Did they take pictures? If not, then they have no proof and no rights to tow your car.
2. Why is a towing company inspecting your community regularly? They are not the police. Who gave them the authority to? HOA? If the HOA did, is it written down on the HOA agreement you received? It's a private property. If nobody called for them or gave them authority, it's trespassing.
3. You pay HOA and it is supposed to facilitate your life not to cause inconvienence.
4. Not sure if this is in your HOA agreement... try to find the clause that's related to parking, and read it carefully. Does it say HOA need to give written warnings first? Does it say a neighbour has to complain for the towing company? Make your case and argument adhere to the HOA clause.
If the HOA gets nasty, you can try threaten not to pay HOA any more, till they resolve the matter. If they threaten to foreclose your house, tell them to go ahead, that you understand, it will take years for them to complete the whole procedure, especially now the market is so underwater. They won't be able to collect the money at all. Ask them, if they think it's worth the trouble to go through this.
I don't think you can get your money back from the towing company, but it's very possible you can get it back from your HOA.

Pat pat. Talk to the hospital to get some discount.

Good point. Even though I don't need it now, I'll save it for future reference.
I am drooling over the slides! We have a playground behind our apartment. Mantou loves the slides. He goes and plays with other kids everyday.
I wish we have a house, and I can buy him one. So he can still play indoor on rainy days, like today. I put the picnic table and the tricycle in the garage. So at least he can play those too for now.

pat pat, try argue with them like chouma I did with the hospital. They said that the reason it was so high was because my insurance company applied my annual deductable and copay of $450 first and then 20% co-insurance.
Who did chouma argue with? Insurance or hospital???
They said they are not a collection agent so no discount. And offered me 10 month payment option.
The problem is I just don't want to pay for it. Did you argue before or after the insurance paid their portion?
I argued before hospital received payment from insurance, same answer, I called them several times, letting them know I will not pay the full amount unless they give me a discount, hehe. It's very upsetting, if we need to pay that much, what is the purpose of having insurance? Hospital offers lower rate for those without insurance. You'll have to stick to it, either less or no payment at all, I think they will Budge.

The guy was very nice on the phone but firm. Basically in his opinion, my insurance sucks. :( He keep saying it's all facility fee. I said I understand that, if we use any of your equipments but we didn't. You are telling me to pay $1200 for sitting on a not comfortable bench? That's ridiculous. So I told him to send me an itemized statement first.
My fear is that, since they already got a portion from my insurance, they might not lower my portion. BTW, I haven't received any statemetn from the insurance company. I wish they would give me a statement first (like my old insurance company) before they pay the hospital.

Have you tried books? Mantou loves stories now. He can sit in front of me for almost an hour and listen to the stories. The bad thing is I have to keep reading the same story over and over again, usually around 10 times, till he gets bored and picks up another book. As soon as I say "The End", he will protest with a whine.
He also loves his toys, the music table, vtech walker and the learning home. He can sit and play from toy to toy for over an hour. I just need to sit nearby to keep an eye on him.

update一下今日进展。。。
昨晚邻居告诉我，他们朋友的车子几个星期前也被拖了，理由是离curb太近。。。我又问了一个同事，他也住同一个community，他说，他邻居车子也被拖了，同样理由，离curb太近，他自己滴车子有天差点也被拖，理由呢，离“no parking” sign 太近，幸好他当时及时从家里冲出来理论，车尾其他根本没超过sign，就是离得近了点，拖车公司看住户来了，就悻悻地空手走了。。。
我推理萌爸停车离curb太近了，所以车被拖，不过，我还是打电话到拖车公司去询问，结果很龌龊，人家居然说，我们趴车离curb太远了，停在马路中间了，what a joke！情况基本清楚了，就是家缺德的拖车公司，同事说，可能HOA OFFICE的人拿了好处，才授权这家公司来拖车。。。

比较乌龙的一件事：我帮加拿大那边的朋友转运他们买的东东，然后他们上次买了一大堆，给了我100gymbucks说没啥可买的不用了，让我留下用，我还愁怎么用掉捏。。。结果昨天稀里哗啦一下子居然都用掉了。然后今天她又说也手痒了想买，问我还有不，我跟她说就剩25了。。她还打算下200多大大单，，，所以我就帮她问问看有没有人不用的。。。

Does Hugo drink formula from bottle or straw cup? Mine is so reluctant to use any other type of cups.
今天没烧了，不过疹子这两天越发厉害，现在已经发了全身了，包括脖子，全脸，手脚。。。
看着白白嫩嫩的小脸现在密密麻麻的都是小红点，好心疼啊。打电话问ped，说没事，但是这个疹子什么时候才能退啊。。。
update一下今日进展。。。
昨晚邻居告诉我，他们朋友的车子几个星期前也被拖了，理由是离curb太近。。。我又问了一个同事，他也住同一个community，他说，他邻居车子也被拖了，同样理由，离curb太近，他自己滴车子有天差点也被拖，理由呢，离“no parking” sign 太近，幸好他当时及时从家里冲出来理论，车尾其他根本没超过sign，就是离得近了点，拖车公司看住户来了，就悻悻地空手走了。。。
我推理萌爸停车离curb太近了，所以车被拖，不过，我还是打电话到拖车公司去询问，结果很龌龊，人家居然说，我们趴车离curb太远了，停在马路中间了，what a joke！情况基本清楚了，就是家缺德的拖车公司，同事说，可能HOA OFFICE的人拿了好处，才授权这家公司来拖车。。。

我之前就想说没有娃不喜欢三轮车吧。。。。
无悔对娃的运动太不重视了
其实那些电子ride-on我觉得娃一般也都喜欢，不过我觉得没有运动量，一直没入。。。我一般都是考虑怎么把娃折腾累的。。。
我娃今天又被操练到差点睡highchair上，然后捞出来扔床上就呼呼了
我买的时候是70刀，小deal，不算白菜，不过用的早比较值，hoho
嗯，我现在看什么都侧重这个。。。
求bless，希望我家zt顺利！！！

没有任何她喜欢的活动？以前你ggpp在是怎么带的呢？
轮流抱，然后看另一个人忙活。
比如经常最喜欢爷爷抱着看奶奶在厨房忙活，笑个不停，但没人抱就不愿意看了。。。
嗯，今天白天也就华氏20度吧，我爸妈带暖出去滑滑梯荡秋千了。
心疼，六六今天有没有好些？
今天娃爸在家，她情绪好些，她喜欢我陪着然后看别人活动，娃爸走来走去，她都看的津津有味，但是如果就我一个人在家，让她一个人在一边看我忙活就不行了。。。
厉害！看来我也不能太娇惯着枣泥了，她这一生病，除了几次看医生外，也就在小区推着走了有数的几次。。周末带她逛街去！
无悔你未来还很艰巨。。。。。

K，这么便宜。。。现在都是一百多啊！！！都没人来喊deal啊，还是说我miss掉了？
我喊了，没人理，不算deal，有钱就买贵点滴，没钱就入便宜点的，我买的是便宜滴。。。65入滴，我等到12月末，看着很难有deal了，开春娃就能用，所以买了。。。

嗯。。我还记得有问我我的那个怎么样，有啥区别
恩，当时面包说，你前年买的便宜，我就问你哪款，然后我痴痴滴等，也没等到，就从了一个便宜点滴。。。
我差点忘了，主要是没经我手，让农药和其他种子收一块儿了，今年开春可有好多好东西了～～

突然想起来，莴笋种子收到没？
应该是每天接触一定时间（15-30）分钟的冷空气，刺激呼吸道，容易健康，不容易生病
是滴是滴，我等娃能自己走了，就打算每天早上让她在阳台上溜达10分钟。。。
送上不算太迟的祝福吧！！叮姐年年开心！！
继续爬楼寻找美图ing。。。

Happy Birthday Ding Dang!!!
心疼悦儿，刚刚说给萌爸听，他觉得悦儿很早慧，现在就知道借助工具了，在daycare我也木见过这个年龄段的孩子借助工具来玩，悦儿真是先进娃。。。
Have you tried books? Mantou loves stories now. He can sit in front of me for almost an hour and listen to the stories. The bad thing is I have to keep reading the same story over and over again, usually around 10 times, till he gets bored and picks up another book. As soon as I say "The End", he will protest with a whine.
He also loves his toys, the music table, vtech walker and the learning home. He can sit and play from toy to toy for over an hour. I just need to sit nearby to keep an eye on him.
收到了收到了
我差点忘了，主要是没经我手，让农药和其他种子收一块儿了，今年开春可有好多好东西了～～
多种点，如果大丰收，一定要来秀哈。。。
我认真学习了！

Do you plan to pursue further?
My neighbours called our HOA's president and got our property manager fired (or transferred to some other places). It's worth a try, if you are up for it. But the most important thing is to round up your neighbors to complain about it. You guys all need to call or mail. The more people complain about it, the better.
A couple points you can make:
1. You parked properly, in front of your own house, and didn't violate any regulations. Did the towing company have proof? Did they take pictures? If not, then they have no proof and no rights to tow your car.
2. Why is a towing company inspecting your community regularly? They are not the police. Who gave them the authority to? HOA? If the HOA did, is it written down on the HOA agreement you received? It's a private property. If nobody called for them or gave them authority, it's trespassing.
3. You pay HOA and it is supposed to facilitate your life not to cause inconvienence.
4. Not sure if this is in your HOA agreement... try to find the clause that's related to parking, and read it carefully. Does it say HOA need to give written warnings first? Does it say a neighbour has to complain for the towing company? Make your case and argument adhere to the HOA clause.
If the HOA gets nasty, you can try threaten not to pay HOA any more, till they resolve the matter. If they threaten to foreclose your house, tell them to go ahead, that you understand, it will take years for them to complete the whole procedure, especially now the market is so underwater. They won't be able to collect the money at all. Ask them, if they think it's worth the trouble to go through this.
I don't think you can get your money back from the towing company, but it's very possible you can get it back from your HOA.
Good luck!

ER 也太黑了。。
你家insurance太烂，换保险if possible！
打电话给医院，看如果一笔付清的话，能不能拿到20%的折扣吧。。

I just received the ER bill last night. It was $1200 for emergency room and $40 for pharmacy. They didn't do anything for Mantou, except give him some advil drop, and the doctor spent less than 15 minutes on him. We spent majority of the time waiting.
My insurance sucks, it only paid $600.

多谢面包，我翻了community的手册，貌似有个规定，车子和curb的距离不能大于16inches，我现在有点明白了，我们对curb的理解和老美不同，今早问同事才发现滴。。。
我们明天还是要去拖车公司看照片，留底。。。好像这个烂公司引发众怒了，邻居说community的住户在facebook上发起啥啥活动，要开会讨论方案，我一定要去凑热闹。。。
不过，看小悦儿这伶俐劲儿，以后可以往运动员方向发展呀！

早上小悦儿从沙发上摔下来，嘴巴磕肿了。。。
我在吃饭，她自己把尿盆挪到沙发跟前，蹬着上了沙发，等我看到的时候她已经开始拿到电线要往嘴里咬了，我上去抢她一躲就栽沙发下面了，嘴巴正好卡到尿盆上，估计就是这么磕肿的。。。
娃以前虽然会踩着凳子上沙发，可是不知道把凳子挪到沙发跟前。。。这次真是吓了我一大跳，以后真是一点都不能离了视线了，这孩子上蹿下跳的太皮了！！！刚才又自己爬到桌子上去够收纳柜最上面的球，然后扔下来让我捡回来给她，下桌子还不肯翻身下，非要正着蹭下来，我已经预见到将来这孩子上窜下跳翻墙爬树的样子了，女孩子家家的这可怎么办啊？？？？！！！！

pat pat艘美，这课时是够重滴。。。吃泡面太不应该了，让家里准备些教授档次的午饭。。。
你可以略微定个计划，比如今天要读书5分钟，如果她很不高兴哭闹的话，你也要很firm，讲道理，唐妈妈对她的期望，继续读书，最少坚持3分钟，然后唐明天我们要做的更好blah。。tomorrow is another day。。会越来越好的，加油！

跟我家一样，不是爷爷抱，就是奶奶抱，当时萌爸看在眼里，又拦不住，所以一定要让他爹娘只延了三个月就回去了。。。
我觉得娃天性不同，有的很关注物体，一刻不停得玩，很少关注人，daycare就有这种孩子，另一种就是六六和萌萌这样滴，很关注人，不关注物。。。这个也没啥办法，只能慢慢地改。。。现在，萌萌还是更关注人，早上到了daycare，看到家长送孩子来来往往的，她就死死地盯着别人看，压根没心思玩，有的孩子就一门心思玩，根本不注意来来往往的家长和老师。。。
应该是每天接触一定时间（15-30）分钟的冷空气，刺激呼吸道，容易健康，不容易生病
我带娃出去的时候，感觉他在外面也会东张西望看人，回家就看东西了，我觉得关注人不是问题，问题就是一直抱。。。

我知道我的未来很艰巨。
生病之前已经好很多了，以前爷爷奶奶在的时候是一天下来，不抱的时候顶多一个小时，后来被我慢慢磨成一天的时候最多加起来抱一个小时，还没等我再接再厉就病倒了，这几天只好先顺毛摸多哄哄了，希望病好了不要再重新折腾一遍。。。

对，这个对健康好
今天，ZT好多了，顺利的把感冒传给了丫头，丫头有些低烧。。。。555555555，好悲催！！
矮油，真是的，忙忙叨叨的折腾medical exam，居然错过叮姐生日了，国内都过完了！！！
送上不算太迟的祝福吧！！叮姐年年开心！！
继续爬楼寻找美图ing。。。
啊？错过了么？赶紧也来个迟到的祝福，这几天忙晕头了。。。
叮当生日快乐！！！！
恩，当时面包说，你前年买的便宜，我就问你哪款，然后我痴痴滴等，也没等到，就从了一个便宜点滴。。。

RE，BLESS悦儿。。。不过上次我把叮当给摔得嘴里全是血。。。。娃哭会儿就没事儿了，但吓死我了。。。
我想起来以前书上说的，原始人和猿人的区别就在于使用工具，娃也是个进化过程啊～～
慢慢来吧，爷爷奶奶一下子走掉了，六六也要适应一下，还正赶上生病。。

我跟她天天唐啊，人家压根不理我唐，愤怒的大哭。。。
希望病好后有好转，之前有过两天还不错的，我还沾沾自喜来着，说现在一天下来抱的时间只有一个小时了，跟爷爷奶奶那会儿绝对是个大进步呢。。。

说的一点没错！！！
我娃对什么东西都不感兴趣，大家说什么听故事啦，看书啦，玩玩具啦，她统统无感，就喜欢看人来人往的忙活。
以前爷爷奶奶在这里的时候，最喜欢做饭时间被抱在厨房看来看去，特别高兴。
馒头真是爱读书的好宝宝。。
RE，叮当可没爱听故事，她就是自己翻翻，她有一本转转书，里面的内页都能转起来，她每一页都认真的转一转，转完再翻到头接着转。。。轮子？？？？？
小悦儿登高爬低的本领真大，不过这阶段真是不让人省心，今天枣泥自己坐着玩，左边玩玩玩具，右边摸摸学步车，然后下一秒就躺倒了，后脑勺咣当一声，幸好木地板上还铺了块area rug，我就坐她对面，真是没办法。。
不过，看小悦儿这伶俐劲儿，以后可以往运动员方向发展呀！
叮当还特意用头往墙上撞呢，我看她挺开心的样子。。。我家ZT说他小时候有一段很喜欢猛的往地上一摔，然后头就晕呀晕呀，他很喜欢那个感觉。。。。。。那是什么孩子呀。。。。。

病好了应该就好多了
她现在除了疹子以外还有别的症状么？
暂时没有了，烧已经退了，昨天疹子最厉害，全身全脸脖子手啊脚啊全是红点点，看着吓人，尤其还老是哭，一大哭就皮肤发红，红点点越发红的厉害。
今天感觉红点点淡了些，希望就此完全好转吧，不过食欲还是不好，一天下来就吃了几口粥，奶估计也就几个oz。。。
我怎么记得你那会儿说因为66便秘你早就在家里声明不许老抱了，还说GP都是很支持的？？？？
最后一个月彻底毁了这个规定。。。
慢慢来吧，爷爷奶奶一下子走掉了，六六也要适应一下，还正赶上生病。。

汇报一下，昨天叮当小盆友过了一周岁生日，全天都混乱。ZT很讨厌的在昨天发烧了，还陪他去了医院，回来中午蛋糕时间家里又来了亲戚串门，坐了好久才走。。。叮当平时12点半到1点就睡了，昨天坚持吃完蛋糕，吃完寿面才去吃奶，困得奶完全没吃，直接晕倒。。。。。傍晚抓周，胡罢了些东西，最后居然是叮当抱着大葱啃半天，边啃边把尺子，毛笔，信用卡，香水塞在姥姥手里让拿着，拿不住都不行。。。。最恨恨的是，居然特意拿起芹菜狠狠的扔了出。。。。去。。。。。
今天，ZT好多了，顺利的把感冒传给了丫头，丫头有些低烧。。。。555555555，好悲催！！
呃。。。好折腾啊。。。不过很有喜感！
