I'm not normally the type to vent in public ... but I can't stand it anymore ...

I have read posts on here in the past where someone will vent about the way people type their posts ... I always just read past it ...

BUT ...

I have read a post in another section that literally didn't have the first punctuation mark in it ... and it was one huge paragraph ...

made it VERY hard to read and even understand the person ...

Ugh.

Sorry. Had to vent.

and there are times when a wrong word (or spelling) is used and it takes me FOREVER to figure out what they are really trying to say. - sometimes I just skip over them. which makes me kind of sad, because they probably need the interaction - but there is only so much I can do. and yes, I get that English is not everyone's first language, but hey, this is what it is. I try. they try. sometimes, meh. it's not enough.

What I hate is when their subjects lines don't match the content of their posts.

If I go into a post and there's no punctuation and it's all one big wall of text, I just don't bother trying to slog through it.

Sometimes spammers will post on this website. I believe some of this is computer generated spam, that is why it doesn't make any sense. Generally these threads are from a first time poster and have a link in them.

I'm not paid enough to read every post and gaily skip by quite a few. When a post makes an unreasonable demand of my time, I pass.

One of my bêtes noires is a post title in the screen-right list that gives no clue to the subject. I just about have myself completely trained not to clik on "A Question" and similar items. I say "just about," otherwise, I wouldn't have come into this topic. @@Christinamo7, some misspellings are deliberate to circumvent the infernal, blue ad links and censorship. I don't see that the latter would bedevil anyone.

I do entertain myself now and then by inventing words. And tossing in a sentence fragment. Never shall I apologize. Except to e e cummings on behalf of y'all.

      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.
