You people are the rudest pricks I've ever met on the internet

I had some wine at dinner last night that I ordered that I can't find now. It's something like Pong de Lonc or Pon de Lonch. It's a white wine that was slightly bitter and delicious.
Maybe it's blanc de blanc. She told me was it was but when I ordered it I kinda just made it seem like I knew what I was talking about to the bartender.
sidenote: Harvey Pekar, creator of American Splendor is coming next saturday. I've never read any of them, enjoyed the movie and think he would be a generally interesting person to meet.
Harvey Pekar is incredibly cool. He appears to have a very low BS tolerance, so be forewarned.
I know there are a couple of "pon de" wines, but I don't know of any "pon de lance" or whatever. I'm not really a wine snob and don't keep up with it, I'm just vaguely conscious of what's around.
I'm irritated at our local hospital. I had to go to the ER in December. My insurance negotiated the cost down and paid all but a couple hundred, which is lucky for me because there's no way in hell I could have done it all myself.
As it is, I'm happy to pay down the balance steadily. However, it's not as quick as they want. I've sent two checks in two months with all I can afford to pay each month (no, I'm not sending smartass checks for $2 or anything). They sent me a letter commanding me to call to make "acceptable payment arrangements". I went through that a few months earlier and they won't settle for anything less than the bill being paid off in large chunks I can't afford. So I sent in another check. Which they've cashed.
Then they sent me a colorful (bright orange paper) "second notice" bill for the full amount, no credit for what I've paid, threatening to send me to collections.
Then the next day, a "collections notice" on bright pink paper.
I'm irritated. I've sent them two checks in two months, which they've cashed, and not "under protest" (what you're supposed to write if you dispute the method or terms). Now they've put me on the fast track to "collections" for the total amount, not even giving me credit for what I've paid?
Grrrrrr.
So now I have to call and argue with them tomorrow, and I'm getting angry thinking about it because I know they're going to try and bully me into paying the full balance and I just can't.
The fact that they're dicks and inflexible on how much I send is one thing. But at least credit me for what I've paid. As I said, they weren't tiny smartass amounts.
You could always try calling the hospital, say you spoke with collections and say they're okay with the amount you're paying. Not sure how long that'll work for though.
