Age specific support group NOT specific anymore

Yup this is what a 60 yr old acts likes. Imagine all the old(er) people in the world giving the finger and texting:tt1: lol:crying: :thumbup:
You must not know the same old(er) people that I do because the ones I know would give someone the finger quick if they thought someone needed it. I'm 46 and have given it a time or two myself. Not saying it's right but it happens to the best of us sometimes.

Long long long time ago ladies were force to marry men 3x there age and have kids and all that happend when that was consider legal,

Time changes, and new laws are formed. So does that still mean you are more experience then a lady who is 90 yrs old who was force to get married and have kids at 15 Compare to a person who is 17 and pregnant with their 2nd child in 2009. i really don't think its the same

If it was still politically correct to have kids at ages 15 14 be married by a man 3x your age will that still mean you have more experience, or are you just living your life???

I understand people goes through things that people shouldn't go through in their age group but what about when certain things were allow by law and people just lived life like that thinking it was the way of life

:thumbup:(And I think it is great that you were able to handle your business with out depending on someone to help you):tt1:

Life experience does make a hugh difference. Only those who have lived a sheltered life would say it didn't. Some are way beyound their years. You never know what someone has had to face and deal with, Some 20yr olds have had to grow up very fast. I myself was married off at 15 and had my first child at 17, and by the time I was 21 I found myself with 3 children divorced. Supporting them on my own(no welfare, no chld supp) working and going to school so trust me when I say I was way beyond my young years. Remember, you can't judge a book by it's cover.

I have no problem figuring it out. I too was married at the age of 15 and had a baby at 17. The problem is the arrogance.
I understand that but some people are just harder then others if life has beatin um down enough.Not everyone is going to react the same way no matter what the age is.

He wasn't 3x my age he was 17. I don't know how your state is but in mine you can still marry young as long as you have a parent sign. And my choice was foster care or marrage, I took the marrage for reasons I don't care to share.

I was not forced to marry young. I was just "wise beyond my years due to life experience"

In her defense I really like Blaze and she talks with a group of us(old ladies) on another thread and she's quite mature. She is the youngest in our group and always has good advice and something positive to say. I think she just got pissed and she's just a blunt person. Maybe I'm different but I have much more respect for someone who speaks their mind then someone who just says what they think you want to hear because I'm blunt and sometimes even my own friends get their feelings hurt, I don't intend on doing it but it does happen.

And that's fine, I was and it's ok it's what made me grow up fast. No regrets, I don't have time for them.

I was not talking about you (i was giving an example) I dont know your situation and its none of my concern

like I said prior to your response everything you go through just make you wiser in certain areas of life (when i say "you" im talking in general)

By having kids young and getting marry young i do believe you become wiser but wiser then people in your age group and younger not more wiser then someone in thier 60's ( just using 60's for a reference)

He wasn't 3x my age he was 17. I don't know how youe state is but in mine you can still marry young as long as you have a parent sign. And my choice was foster care or marrage, I took the marrage for reasons I don't care to share.

blunt person or not everyone on here stated their opposition and no one got mad and said f you. we all probably got aggravated cause different points are being made but cmon why get mad at a POST :thumbup:

If someone could give their veiws and they get mad when someone else expresses that they dont agree with their veiws, what is the point of getting mad maybe once again i have to look in the dictionary.:thumbup:

There shouldnt be any hard feelings especially in this SPECIFIC FORUM that deals with : LBT Rants and Raves *** Off-Topic DEBATE AREA *** Want debate? Get it here. Gripe, complain, moan, fight, rant and rave. Enter at your own risk!:tt1:

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
