Re: Last time I checked, this was the "Man Room"



Recommended Posts

Since not everyone can respond to the topic where it stands...

I'm guessing that most responses in the man/woman rooms are without noticing that the post was in a restricted area.

I admit I am one who only reads the title of the posts and never the category it's located in. So, please forgive us if we accidentally respond to something in the wrong room. Just a kind reminder is needed and I'm it's easy to delete.

I respond to posts all the time without looking to see where it's posted. I am trying to get better about that but when I joined this forum, the area on the right where the most recent posts are shown, wasn't there. Old habits are hard to break.

Ditto. I NEVER look at the room. I've wandered into some pretty "exciting" discussions not realizing it was between the guys. Between my app and the website design I never notice what forum anything is in unless I purposefully click on that forum.

I don't think I have posted in the mans room by accident or purposely but I could be wrong. I will say that I click into interesting sounding titles. I do not read the section its posted in. I actually can't read the font that small so wouldn't if I wanted to. I don't really think I should have to though.

This is the only forum I have ever been involved in where we are permitted to read a headline and click into it, read the subject and respond to it and then be " in trouble" for doing it. What gives? Seriously, it should either be opened to all or invisible to those that are not to participate. If that's coming later the rules really should be lifted off of it until its set up JMO.

I think I accidentally just liked a post in the Man's room... OOPSS..Oh well... I don't really pay attention to where something is posted... Usually if the title of the Thread Interests me I read it, if I like it, I hit the like button sometimes, if I have something I feel is meaningful to add I comment... If not I move along, sometimes I follow it if it is really interesting... Hmmm... I guess I will start paying more attention!

Just so it is recorded in the thread, I will remind all that it was a few women who complained about men posting in the powder Room that prompted the rule.

If the rule is to stand, then check the profile for the gender and enforce the rule. Surely that option is available and if not, this would be quite an easy programming fix.

Yup, yup, yup, I often just click on something from "recent topics" and sometimes don't notice what sub-forum it's in.

There are quite a few nongender posters that could get away with responding on both. Nothing states that we have to specify gender or post a profile pic.

Heh.. I'm pretty sure my comments would give me away though ;)

But at the same time ignorance should not be counted as a reason to disregard the rules of the forum itself. Just my own personal opinion of course.

For the record, I think it is a useless rule and I hardly visit either of those forums anymore, they were alot mroe entertaining when "cross posting" was allowed.

Just so it is recorded in the thread, I will remind all that it was a few women who complained about men posting in the powder Room that prompted the rule.

If the rule is to stand, then check the profile for the gender and enforce the rule. Surely that option is available and if not, this would be quite an easy programming fix.

      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! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
