Okay you guys know I love you all right? But I think it's time to stop beating up on that poor girl. She was confused. It happens. There's no shame in being confused/wrong. She can read this thread. And if it were me reading it, I would find it extremely hurtful that a bunch of people were picking on me.

Nothing wrong with being "confused" but when you say it with the air of superiority disguised as medical advancement and stated as a fact...well, the can has been opened...

WTH... Why did my post go postal? And why can't we wit things?

And BTW.. I think Alex combined the forums so that the turmoil would generate more activity. ;)

I've been thinking the exact same thing. Page clicks generate revenue, so each time someone pops over to participate in, or even check out, a squabble, more and more ad dollars drop into his bank account.

GG, you're right.

I'll go back to figuring out more ways to get written up in my local Police Beat.

Or you could just let the dog do it. He appears to have a handle on it so far.

I'm okay with him making money. I mean, it's free to us, the guy has to get something out of it, right? I like when people make money and are profitable. It means they will be motivated to create a great site, and keep it up, which is good for all of us. He deserves every penny, IMHO.

But to be honest, I doubt anyone expected the drama and turmoil the merging of sites has created. I think we've all taken it to a new low.

Getting better every day though :)

No…my little assholed dog decided that it would be a great idea to bark in the yard, and refuse all commands to come the fucked inside. Let me tell you, it's disconcerting when your doorbell rings that early.

Did you explain that he was just in pain from trying to poop out his staples....

When you explain these things to the uneducated you open their eyes to the amazing advancements in dog excrement!!

I have employed the Facebook hive brain in the matter of People of Small Town IL vs Dog of Fluffnomore. Although there are a couple of people who believe those who called the po-po on me are douchednozzle, passive aggressive miscreants, I have to admit that it is still my fault for giving up. The words, "Then stay out there, you little assholed, I don't care" may have been snarled through the door.

The overall consensus is that I should bake some Cookies or pumpkin bread and drop them off with an apologetic note.

      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!
