The Damn I'm Old Thread - Putting Up With Being a Geezer

[progmatist]

How about Assholes who Drive to your neighborhood to blow up shit in front of your house? I live in a cul-de-sac so that is a natural gathering place. They go home an WE have to clean up the mess!

An ongoing problem in my townhouse complex is people driving from elsewhere to drop their decrepit furniture next to our dumpsters. Junk not even Goodwill would accept. The HOA then has to pay to have the junk hauled off. Some of that cost coming out of my pocket.

Yay Greg!

The benefit of living in a civilized country!

I broke my wrist 4 weeks ago. The ER splinted it, and said I'd have to make an appointment with an orthopedist to replace the splint with a cast. For two weeks I couldn't even get that appointment. My insurance requires specialist referrals from my primary. The primary's office kept "forgetting" to fax the referral to the orthopedic clinic. From which I can only conclude United Healthcare is declining to even pay for it. I find it hard to believe my primary's employees are so absent minded. After two weeks I said screw it, and went to the VA Hospital. The continuity of care has been outstanding ever since. The left hand actually informs the right hand what has been done, and what needs to be done.

Why don't they install some cameras to watch the dumpsters.

Sometimes when you’re slapped up on the head with a life changing malady, it’s helpful to post it…. Someone will have some firsthand knowledge and you won’t feel so alone with your troubles…… IMHO YMMV FFS! ��

I wasn't complaining about people posting about age related difficulties, far from it. The intent of the post was positive. Not sure how that went sideways.

Thanks, Mark. I'm just very pleased there is a disability tax credit.

That shit needs to go into their mailbox.

I give them a couple days to clean up their mess.....if not....I wait till Sunday when they go to church....then I get my leaf blower out and shove it all into their front yard. I know it's passive-aggressive but they Never seem to "get" what it is to be a good neighbor.

???????? I saw nothing negative about your posts......Maybe the FFS? I was attempting humor and I used to post that string of abbreviations mostly because I found that abb. funny.

I needed some humor this morning.....woke up and my left arm was a bit numb. It seems ok now but still paralyzed. I went to a PT joint today and set up my series of PT appointments.

OK Gary. You quoted me and and ended with YMMV and FFS. I thought you were taking issue. Thanks for the clarification. I've always viewed you as one of the good guys, so I'm happy to see that pov continue 😊.

Oh, and best wishes on the pt. Hopefully it will help reverse the paralysis.
