Well, I came across is again today and have decided that my one true thread killer is When Someone Uses That Font Where Every Word Is Capitalized. I Mean, Are They Doing It On Purpose, Because Frankly It's A Pain In The Ass To Type Every Word Starting With A Capital Letter. Almost As Big A Pain In The Ass As It Is To Read. I Sincerely Hope That It Is A Font Style Because Otherwise I Have To Question The User's Sanity. When I Come Across This Type Of Post, If I Look At All (Usually Not), It's To See If It Looks Like It Might Be Worth The Time And Irritation To Read It Through.

Normally, I see it an move on. Who cares what it says.

Dear DonnaB,

Actually, I don't think it's something they do on purpose. It's a formatting issue.

Now.. don't you feel bad for that, Donna? Shame on you for being such a meaniehead.

Love, P'Nutz

I do have a pet peave which drives my eyes a different direction when I see it. It's when a person types a long story and they do not separate thoughts or ideas. They bunch it all into one huge paragraph. It is usually or approximately 1,000 words in length, all smushed together.

It hurts me to try and read it that way, it also bores me to no end.

I think this is a complaint.

I personally find the thread posts that are a single massive block of text that dont have any kind of punctuation or line breaks very difficult to read I personally am not sure exactly how people can comprehend exactly what the poster is trying to say and as a result it can kill a thread this combines with the confusion on where one particular sentence begins and another ends compounds the problem of over legibility and comprehension personall I think its time we really aayed attention to how we type and more importantly what we type and when so that the general masses can understand I often wonder if such posts are written out of a desire to confuse or because the individual is merely unconcerned and is just getting whatever the issue is off the chest but I think on the whole we could really do with the punctuation and line breaks to make things easier so that we can provide adequate support to all posters regardless of subject or content man this typing without punctuation is killing me once upon a time there was a squirrel names squirry and he went for an adventure in the deep dark forest of Argh Squirry was a brave squirrel and didnt fear the haunted forest which was stupid because a big ass demon from the pits of hell sprang forth and devoured his soul for all eternity thanks for playing kids game over etcetera

Ooooh! I think reading all caps (even though it IS like being yelled at) is easier on the eyes than the uppsy, downsy, capitalized writing.

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
