In October of 2015, I stopped qualifying for Medicaid. (Medi-Cal in California).
Nobody bothered to let me know about this obviously important change.
I ended up seeing a doctor, to set up as a new patient, while uninsured.
Of course, there was no way for me to know that I was uninsured.

Flight Rising is a game where players control a Lair full of dragons. One of the things you can do with your dragons is have them battle in the Coliseum. There are three Achievements players can earn after a certain number of dragons reaches Level 10.
I recently managed to get 10 of my dragons to level 10. I’ve also earned some other Battle Achievements along the way. All of the artwork in this post is copyright of Flight Rising.
A player who goes from Paragon 1 to Paragon 100 unlocks a total of 10 Paragon Portraits. They flash by on the screen as the player is fighting a mob. This makes it hard to take a close look at them. Players who have gotten many characters to Paragon 100 – and beyond – might not care about the corresponding portraits.
You could stop by the in-game Wardrobe and take a look at all of the portraits that you have unlocked. I doubt most players spend a lot of time with the Wardrobe. It takes seconds to pick a portrait frame and get back to fighting demons.
In this blog, I have collected screenshots of all the portrait frames players can unlock as they go from Paragon 10 to Paragon 100.
Flight Rising has holiday events that take place every month. Most of the events are connected to a specific Dragon Flight. There is a brand new, collectible, holiday Familiar that can be easily obtained while the holiday is happening.
The Sprites were the holiday Familiars during the 2013-2014 cycle of holiday events. All of them have been retired. The only way to obtain the ones you do not have is to buy them from the Auction House.
I managed to collect five of the eleven Sprite Familiars while they were available. Someday, I’d like to collect up enough Treasure and/or Gems to purchase the ones I am missing. All of the artwork in this post is copyright of Flight Rising.
The many moods of Morris: Calm and fluffy, irritated and bitey, inquisitive and adorable!

December is not my favorite month of the year. It’s cold (even here in California). It’s filled with a whole lot of extra errands and expenses due to Christmas. It’s the month where I cannot escape holiday related allergens – even at the grocery store.
Riglee is my Gnome Death Knight. She is level 72. Winter Veil is not my favorite World Event (because Christmas is problematic for me). Despite this, I decided to see what Riglee could accomplish during the 2015 Winter Veil.
Overall, my attempt at working on Winter Veil Achievements was a mix of success and failure. It turned out that Riglee is not a high enough level to do everything. There were, however, some fun things that she was able to complete.
