Wait. When someone probes your butt, you can be asleep?

Someone is going to be in trouble. He told me I had to be awake.

j/k

Think it depends on procedure. Finger probe never asleep, colonoscopy definitely put to sleep. What always got me was it seemed the doctor / specialist you see for that always has the largest fingers. That and that crazy grim / smirk on their face as they tell you, you might feel a bit of pressure and a sensation of cold. Yeah right.

Re: The Rant Thread (v 1.2)

I am thinking some stupid as*hats and just plain dumb for others...One reason I do not go to VA anymore..I am on Medicare,but even that can get messed up on you...

Bad part was didn't have any issues with the VA until about 6 months ago when they brought in a new doctor and transferred all of us from the two clinics to that new facility. Roughly 1,000 vets between the two clinics with full time MD's available everyday to once a week per office now. Which is more of a pain because we were told we could go to the old doctor's we had and they would still have access to our medical records. Unfortunately discovered yesterday that was also a lie and they can not access our records and have to request now to have what's left of my VA records sent to them. So I've got to requests records from other hospitals / specialty clinics I was sent to to be sent to my former provider, the VA and hope they all can be recreated.

I think this is supposed to be the "Fix" to all the waiting list thing,but once again,they just went way off target and dropped all the goods. Truthfully the VA used to be much better when I got out in 69,but have gone down hill over time.. If I remember,you were full time and retired so better status as retired,think what it is most likely like for one like me with just one 4 year enlistment.

I can only imagine. Figure i'm both retired from the military and certified as disabled due to military service and it's a pain. I have a friend whose former Army Special Forces who uses the VA. He's going through all sorts of issues as he didn't retire from the military. The first doctor we got, he's gone now after just a couple of months, got cussed out by him. Big time pain in the arse for him and some of the other's I know who served but didn't retire from the military. I honestly do not know how he pays for his medication based upon some of the prescription costs I've seen him get not even counting paying for services. The VA clinic and main hospitals smacking him pretty hard with stating whether it is a military related injury or post / pre military injury for pay and billing purposes.

I though you were going to be a teacher in Georgia? Figured that would make you a state or county employee not a federal one. Assumption strikes again on my part. Guess your going to be a teacher on the base instead.

Re: The Rant Thread (v 1.2)

I've been using the VA for all my healthcare(I'm 70% service connected) so I never bothered with job provided healthcare.

Re: The Rant Thread (v 1.2)

I just had a fight with my mom. Aka my mom yelled insults at me and made sure to tell me how worthless I am while I cried. I'm getting married in 3 days and she had to go and throw me off balance, like I wasn't nervous enough without having to apologize for being me. And coping with my mom declaring that she wasn't coming to the wedding. She manages to, in the same sentence, critisize me for EVERYTHING and wonder at where my low selfesteem comes from... she can't stand that not everything is about her. She would really rather break me down just in time for my wedding than just allow me one day of happiness. I've been working so hard for so long for this, and she has to take a shot at me NOW. I still don't know what I did or didn't do. One minute we were talking about saturday, the next she was yelling at me about how mean and inconsiderate I am...

Iris, don't feel bad about that. Look at the progress you made in organizing your wedding - you continued and didn't give up despite all those who didn't come or didn't give you an answer! It takes a great deal of courage to do so. This, certainly, DOES NOT make you worthless or inconsiderate. You're a hero! My mother has some of those traits too, don't pay attention to that. It's not worth it. It's your time, your wedding and your life. Don't let anyone ruin it.

And my rant for today - there is a paganish shop in Tel Aviv. Last time I visited it there was Ra's amulet that I didn't have the money to afford. So I wanted to go there as a part of my 18th bday and buy that amulet since Ra helps me being proactive. I asked my parents for the money I GOT from the other relatives. I didn't ask for much and told them it was for Tel Aviv. Of course they had to ruin the whole thing by not entrusting me with the money (Grrr! You entrust me to take care of my sister but don't entrust me with money??), but also ruining any desire to go there. Then they tried to push the money in my hand after "looking at it from another angle"... That's not fair... Got me stressed for the rest of the day. Luckily the cat helped me fall asleep.

Thank you Gleb. I try not to take it to heart. But I can't help but worry that she will make a scene and ruin the wedding. She doesn't usually stick to putting me down in private, she likes taking opportunities to tell everyone around me what a terrible person I am. I wouldn't put it past her to make a speech ridiculing me. Or my mother in law whom she dislikes very much. And she wonders where the low self esteem comes from. And it's tradition that I should sleep at their place the night before. I'm just not sure, she will probably also be mad if I don't. But at the same time, I don't want anything like last night to happen the night before my wedding. I'm still worn out from it... sigh...

Sorry Gleb, that really sucks... if they suddenly give you the money after all I really think you should go! Enjoy your day.

Well... I know she's your mother, but it's your wedding, after all. Maybe it would be best if she didn't come.. The memories of the wedding will last forever. Perhaps it would be best if there was some distance between you two.

Thank you. ^^

Last time I tried getting some distance she threatened suicide. I'm not going there right now.

Re: The Rant Thread (v 1.2)

And I thought my Mother was kinda crazy..this sounds like she has control issues. I am sorry you have to deal with this kind of issue from your Mother.

I myself had to just stop being around my Mother because of things kinda like this. I hope your marriage goes well,and you can have some peace.
