Another possible option despite my believing people as a species are horrible. Get him some trans literature, hand it to him, and suggest he read it before he displays his ignorance on the subject again. Alternatively, shoot him and feed his body to the animals.
But don’t quit. The cats need you.

Fuck chronic fatigue. -.-

@Cobalt So much and with a rusty iron spork. I am so sick and tired (meheheh) of being sick and tired and only barely managing to hang on and do the things. Most of the things anyway.
-
This is more health information then y’all really need but I am augh frustrated. My rheumatologist has gone completely dark on me. I had x-rays done four months ago that she has not given me the results on yet. At this point I’m just gonna ask my primary to re-do them. -.-
-
Fuck chronic fatigue … when made worse by heat … in the summer months.
Also, you know just any ‘invisible’ illness. Sometimes, I personally feel, it’s more tiring because I spend so much time masking because you can’t see it and I don’t want to be defined by it too.
-
Also, I decided to start a health program type of thing today. It’s the easy version of calorie range, exercise, read 10 minutes, easy type…I already regret my life choices.
This is fine. Everything is fine. It will be fine.

Extremely small time peeve but:
Having to go in to the office on a work from home day with no heads up because one of your co-workers has a ‘last minute appointment’. x.x
At least I get an extra WFH day next week because of it.
-
RW people in my family (and elsewhere, but family in particular today) trying to argue the old “climate change is a myth propagated by the liberal media” chestnut when most of the world is on fire. This is probably more than a “peeve” tbh, but holy shit.
they/them

ugh, I feel this one especially lately. my fam’s got bonus “wtf” points for believing global warming is not only inevitable but supposed to happen as part of the apocalypse, so…yayyyyy
-
Late to the party, but if you drop your book in my DM - I’ll buy a copy. I might as well use my shopping problem to someone’s advantage.

Why does this boy have to be so nosey? Why he gotta ask me what I’m doing any time I’m doing something.
-
My kiddo’s new favorite thing is to pretend to be an SCP Foundation creature and maul me every fifteen minutes, wanna trade?
-
@Cobalt did you open up a wrapper or a bag of chips or something? my big monsters are in their 20s now and i swear to god they still will hear me open up a popcorn bag through like 2 doors (downstairs door plus room door). hey mom, whatcha doing?
-
@mietze I was sitting looking at my insurance card.
“Whatcha doing?”
My stuff, mind yo business, boy.
-
@Wizz My daughter is about 2 and tells me “piggy back” so I’ll kneel on the ground. Once I’m down there, she hits me over the back with her little plastic baby chairs. I’m anticipating she’ll have a wonderful career as a professional wrestler.
-
How do I tell my in laws I don’t like their spaghetti because they boil the noodles until they’re almost paste?
-
@Cobalt Maybe offer to cook spaghetti for them, and say, “I’m experimenting with a more al dente noodle, tell me if you think it works?”

After a series of unexpected health bills and all that stuff our second car died when we really need to have more than 1 car to juggle 5 working adult schedules. I feel ill. Its not worth to fix the 2nd car bc its a 2000 civic and so the cost to tow it and have it evaluated will cost more than the car is worth. This has been such a shitty week for so many different reasons I just kind of wish the ground would swallow me up right now.
-
@mietze god, I’m sorry.
We recently bought a car and basically got scammed with it. The cabin lights don’t work, the throttle position sensor keeps going out, so I will suddenly not be able to accelerate while on the highway, and the battery keeps dying, which killed the a/c somehow.
We’re at this point where we don’t even know what to do with it. Do we sell at a massive loss because of all the problems? Or do we fight the warranty company to get them to fix it? “Oh it didn’t do it wit us, so we don’t know what’s wrong”.
-.-
(And it’s not like we can afford the loss on the car, it was supposed to be an investment so I could work more… but it’s just been a pain.)

Dear Dr. X -
I am asking you to cancel my appointment for Tuesday, March 7.
Based on the fact that a caveat that you do not test for <medical condition> was not only included in, but emphasized in bold in the email that I just received from you, I would assume that this is a recurring issue. I would strongly suggest that your office communicate this more clearly to your network of nearby referring offices, as well as to your own employees.
Please note that prior to making this appointment, I was advised that your office does test for <medical condition> by my referring doctor and specifically indicated to your receptionist that I was seeking testing for <medical condition> when I called in December to schedule this appointment and was told that I needed to fill out a battery of forms (which I should note I then didn’t receive for a week) before they would place me on your schedule. I specified it again in January when I called to confirm that I had completed and submitted them, but hadn’t heard back from your office, and was advised that your next available appointment wasn’t for several months.
If your staff had been able to communicate this the first time I spoke to them, it would have saved me multiple phone calls, clearing my schedule for a full day for a battery of testing, rearranging several financial payments to accommodate the nearly $2,000 that I would owe after my insurance coverage, and months of waiting only to find out now, three days before my appointment, that your office would not be able to help me with diagnosis or treatment at all.
It certainly would have saved your team this unkind, though not undeserved message.
Sincerely,
AriaI went through another round of this same situation this week, this time yelling at my insurance company. In the four months since this posting, I’ve discovered:
- My insurance company does not appear to have any doctors who are in network that provide this diagnostic screening for adults, only for children.
- Every doctor that conducts this diagnostic screening for adults does not work with insurance companies because they are a massive pain in the ass.
- My insurance company does cover out of network doctors at 60%, rather than 80%, but requires precertification for both.
This essentially means that the best case scenario is that I’m on the hook for as much as an extra $1,000 for “choosing” to go out of network, when I have no in network options, if I can somehow convince doctors who don’t deal with insurance to help me deal with insurance. Hahaha. Yeah, right. The more likely scenario will be that my choices are between paying as much as $5,000 out of pocket because I wasn’t able to jump through impossible bureaucratic hoops or just not get a diagnosis and treatment at all.
'MURICA! BEST COUNTY IN THE WORLD!!! WE DON’T WANT NONE OF THAT SOCIALIST-COMMUNIST-NAZI MEDICINE HERE!!
Please excuse me while I scream into the void.
