In a really twisted way, Youtube is a fairly big reason why a good number of people go outside, take up hobbies, etc.

There are very very few entertainers that have ever choked me up, but damn Richard Simmons and Newhart are definitely on that list. Rest well.

yep! Tried to leave back in 2017, but couldn’t find a job, then screwed up by pushing myself to work electrical full time. If I hadn’t torn myself up doing furniture delivery in 2000-2002, I would definitely be gone. So…damn…sore…Oof! And to top that off, when she finally let me use money for a doctor in 21, the meds messed up my stomach, and I’m so god damned dizzy as well.

That’s fine, am a Linux user and not a big deal running a file/media server, also have large enough SD cards, so still not a problem storing music either. I would just like to be able to purchase some new songs just so I can be able to adjust the playlists to something more to my tastes for particular songs over the entire genre or band’s albums which can often contain other bands/songs that just bug the living daylights out of me, heh.

Well, if “media” is in general, I’d have to say television. I’ll watch some things once in a while, but for the most part, I have way too much anxiety from a bad marriage. Audio books, and certain Youtube channels can trigger it, too.

Spaghetti carbon-era would work, too.

I used to drink root beer out of the licorice red vines, those held up quite well. Though, the lart was around seven years ago. I haven’t seen blaok red vines in ages around these parts.

Have no idea if the red ones would have held up. Never liked those too much, heh, and other than root beer, birch beer, I’d drink coffee instead.

This…So much thie…but red vines rather than twizzler. They have a much bigger hole.

Oh, that’s just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. I’ve got plans to incorporate a plaque that can be hung on a wall afterwards, that will use elements of both her grandpa, great uncle, and this uncle, heh. I’ve got my part figured out, just need to finish the other two…and I think I just got my dad’s figured out. He was known for growing russian olives, and there’s only a few branches left…I could carve a heart in a cross section, and place one of my claws in side of it…That’s what I’ll do…Now just one more…For our great uncle…We’ll be heading to his farm to find something next week. 🤞

I’ve got three ideas, but all using the same basic foundation. Four legs, two walls, and a removeable top piece (if lucky, a rounded arch, if not, a triangular arch. Depending on the kinds of branches I can find. Sort of a half desert, grassland, around here, so not a great location for wood hunting. ).

This is my first choice for the sides

Woke up early, prepared my work area for making an arch for my niece’s wedding. Wife doesn’t like my thoughts on it, but that’s nothing new.

Right now, I found a way to make the couch more comfortable (wasn’t allowed to choose the couch, so got stuck with one that is uncomfortable as all hell, and hurts my spine). So I can sleep with my cats. Spine and food (GERD) is trying to kill me, though, but that’s nothing new.

Being fair is one thing, but being purposefully ignorant/dumb/mental is on a whole other level.

“We’re going to let you pay $25 a month since you can’t afford any more than that”.
Ok, that equals $75 a month.
“No! We did not say that. It’s $25 a month”.
Um! There’s three bills for this one thing, and I am paying $25 on each of those bills. Simple math, that’s $75. Not $25.
“That doesn’t concern us”…
What? That should concern your company. That should be very concerning to all three companies. Somebody won’t be getting paid in a timely manner.
“That doesn’t concern us”…
face palm.

I mean, just how is that not a cause for concern? The amount of time wasted. Hell, the sheer waste of money, for all three companies have to pay three times for data entry for financial purposes, that could be done by one group of data entry employees. Not to mention the people who need this kind of payment plans, are not going to be the most mentally/emotionally strong which can not be good for a great many people’s well being…They’re in healthcare for Crype’s sake. They should know this…“That doesn’t concern us”…Fair is one thing, but this. This…This is just bonkers, and completely nuts.

Sorry for the rant, but this really does get under my skin. If it was dealt with in a logical manner, I’d be fine. I wouldn’t have too much of an issue, but claiming I’m not paying when I’m obviously paying is just baffling.

I hate to say it, but I have seriously lost all respect for hospitals. Hell, the whole reason for this rant was because I wanted to find out what happened to my digestive tract by going to a different doctor because the one here was the one who prescribed the meds that did this to me. Now, not only do I have my pains that make living hard, now I have this GERD which makes breathing, thinking, and even eating hard. Plus, for the first time in my life, I’m over weight after being prescribed omeprozole. I ĵust can’t bring myself to trust them.

I did get financial aid, but I still had 3 bills. So I paid off the smaller two bills in two or three months (imaging and the doctor, about $300 or more, paying with the allowance I get from my spouse), then the third I paid what I paid on those two bills per month. I had paid about $120 before it got sent to collections, and the $400 I still owed jumped up to $750 if I paid it off (which I just got lucky and had enough money to pay it off), and would have had to pay about $900 if I would have still been broke.

Most likely. Would explain why they stated I had to pay the full amount, but would accept a deduction (Which was still half the cost on top of the original bill), if I paid right then and there…Which by my dumb luck, I had just made enough to pay it off and have enough left over to try and get some stuff to try and make a little more money…But nope. Had to spend it all on that.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the Hospitals used a simple billing firm so people could pay one bill, over multiple bills, a lot less hassle and trouble would crop up, and they wouldn’t have such a great need of bill collecting services (I mean, they’d still need them, of course, but not so extensively). Nor waste so much of people’s and their own time.
