This Is The Place For You If You Enjoy Being Last...

I need to lose about 10 pounds real quick. I am looking into a simple detox.

Why quick? You ok?
I know there's body builder tricks for losing water weight...but that isn't a 'real' weight loss...

I should lose some but so long as I fit in my clothes I'm happy for now...

I had thought about using a french press when we sailed, but I had never used one and thought I better not. The looks are priceless arent they? Its almost hey picture time.. its a kodak moment..

I will see the movie at some point.

I think because I have been down for so long I have gained weight and it still makes my thigh week from the sciatica, and added weight wont help

It's such a hard thing that. Being immobile from pain...means you don't exercise...which means you gain weight...which doesn't help the pain

Hope you can find a way to lose a bit

Good night, I need to get up at 6:30. I am trying to stay away from the pain pills. I hate them. Have a good night.

 

[queenie82]

Heading out for lunch with my Birthday Man..

What kind of a plan is that and what does it cover?

It's a PPO and it covers my prescriptions and a portion of office visits. Fran had the same one until she got Medicare. It covered all her surgeries and everything

DH has pre-existing conditions that do not allow him to purchase private plans. We have Cobra through his prior job. It is cheaper for all of us to be on Cobra than to do private plans for me and the boys while he alone does Cobra. The Doctor I worked for charged $2500 due once a year, but still billed ins for all services. The $2500 gets you his private cell, immediate appts, no wait time in the office, etc. He does not even take my ins. I have to have ins in case of an emergency.

Well that sucks!

Queenie - evidently somehow I seem to come off as sarcastic when I am asking honest questions. Fran is constantly accusing me of being sarcastic, but I don't think I'm ever meaning to do that. My humor is more corny and the kind that should be followed by a rimshot "buh-dum chish (imagine cymbal crash).

There are a lot of funny thongs that you and Sharon say. I understand "I have to go organise dinner" and some of the simple ones, but there have been a few that just go right over my head.

Brandi - tell David Happy Birthday! Have fun at the Addams Family!

Good morning all! For me I guess I should learn a few new words from other places. PIO used a word that most of us never heard of. It was Panel beaters. I was like ok, and a few other people were saying the same thing. I looked it up , and come to find out it is and Auto repair person. Just a different perspective. See I was a duh to that one. But I learned something new.

Brandi, to your husband.

Goodnight.

TR update.....Tom, Tom, I cant trust him....

 

[franandaj]

heading over there right now.....

FINALLY - last.

Ignoring! Wait....it's a different thread, right?

Nice to see you fly-by in, even if you're not LAST.

As for referrals. It ain't perfect but there's parts of our medical system that do make life easier. My local GP/doctor can refer me to anyone and I can usually make an appointment with them myself without them having a referral with them.
Just need to show up with the piece of paper.

Hope you get more answers soon

You can even show up without the piece of paper and have a couple of weeks to get the referral.

I've learnt the hard way not to ask at a coffee shop for a plunger in the USA....





You guys don't think of a french press when I say it.....





You think of other things

Need a tissue?

When we first took DS to the US, I went into a pharmacy near my aunt's place in SoCal. I asked for tissues and I got toilet paper.

Turns out I needed to ask for Kleenex instead.

good morning.

Hey, hey! It's Saturday!

 

[usnuzuloose]

Good Morning!

Just so odd, isnt it?
