Rants and Raves thread

I take OTC allergy pills which are NOT the same as the RX was no matter what anyone says!! BUT the insurance company won't let me have the Rx unless the doctor and I jump through their hoops and THEN it will cost triple the cost of a normal Rx!! I HATE THIS CRAP!! When did we give the insurance companies so much power?
 
I can relate sortof. I left Wal Mart they where chargeing me for my strips. I am using Contour. No big deal with them either. I will switch. WM started off $12. for 100. Then jumped to $15. then last time $30.

I called my insurance , I have 2 & BOTH of them are to pay 100% for my type 2 supplies. :censored::censored: ! One will pay 80% .. the other zero. Contour is not the one they pay for.

My DR has testing 4 times a day. Insurance pays for 2 times a day.

They also told me Publix is my provider. NOT WM. Now Publix is telling me I most likely have to have schrip changed or switch to generic strips.
My Insurance won't pay 100% only 80% I have to pay the rest..AND Publix says they don't know what strips (generic) that is :bonk::bonk:BS. they know , they fill them all day long. Piss's me off.

I wonder how many other folks have this much trouble getting their Diabetes supplies.

Oh & my rant over this is not done.

My insurance company has THEIR "perferred" and if you don't get that they make you pay almost the full cost. Zyrtec is the one RX that works for me and now that there is an OTC version my insurance won't let me get it!! My doctor also gave me an RX for Lunestra (sp) BUT the perferred RX is Ambien which doesn't do diddly for me. So I go alot of the times without sleep.

My strips/lancets cost $100.00 for 100 each and my insurance has them under hospitalization. SO I get NO money back till I hit $400.00 which means on the average I get $15.00 back a YEAR!! DAMN bastards!!
 
peeps, when they won't cover my scripts, first, i waive my co-pays, & a few good docs'll give 'ya samples of meds, too
 
I hate ..............

Commercials for things I can't get here!! LOL

We LOVE Long John Silver's. BUT there aren't any close enough to run out for a quick snack or last minute dinner. I think the closest one is 35 - 40 miles away!! I LOVE the chicken planks!! They have been showing a commercial for 8 chicken planks and puppies for $10.00 and it's driving me crazy!! LOL
 
Re: I hate ..............

plumber's bills and leaky faucets :ermm: - love the plumber, especially when he fixes my problem, just don't like that bill that follows
 
I hate commercials Period.
they out right lie.

Not one tells the truth. at the bottom , real quick you will see a flash.
paid actor
results not typical
Dr so & so was paid for this commercial.

The only one that makes me laugh are the Etrade Babies.
Sears. But not enough for me step foot in the place lol

I feel sorry for the dogs & cats who are fed that $hit food.

All those diet places saying their food is soooooo good. :laugh::puke1:its cardboard tasteless crap.

Sure I believe if I eat Activa Y I will be regular as clockwork in 14 days :w00t2:

Guess I will be cussed out or at least taked to 'rudely' on a forum that I don't post often on any more. One of the 'mods' is not nice.

Some mods on some forums suffer from the Napoleon complex. I think many of us know one food site where the mod pool is stacked with them, which is why this site continues to add members.
 
CC, i mute most advertisments- so annoying & manipulative to boot!

tho, those babies 'er laughable ones & i don't mute those~
 
i despise you summertime, w/ your allergens, & if it weren't 4 the lovely holidays we celebrate through the summer:bbq3: & picksburgh sports pride i would hibernate! i wanna make a snowwwwwww angel, summertiime, & you're getting in the wayyyy of that!! now, in this weather, how is a gal 2 make one of those, huh?!

good idea & one of these days soon I will do just that. I keep thinking , it will get better, it doesn't.

That mod kinda said she was sorry 'I think" to me but not the person she was rude too.

I made darn sure she wasn't a member here .

Funny thing is that new guy is a new member on another food forum she is on. :ohmy:

I don't know why a so called 'chef' & that is doubtfull, would want to be a member of a home cooks forum . I mean half the time she slings comments & products & recipes around & we commom folks don't know about or could care less about. Also a name dropper . Who cares?
I don't.

ok rant over ..
 
There are a lot of forums out there that seem to have their own little cliquey type thing going on between the moderators and certain members.

Doesn't matter who you are or what you contribute, it won't mean a thing to them at the end of the day.

Did you try to speak up for the person who the mod was being nasty to?
That may have not gone over so well.
I have never stayed with a forum where I wasn't happy for long.

What's the point other than enjoying watching a bunch of silly crap continue?
My time on the net is much more important than worrying about things like that.

Chances are things will not improve on that forum CC, so just log out, take it out of your list of favourites and never look back.

one un-named place, i used 2 be loyal 2, HA, no-mo- i logged onto, porn popped on rather than cooking stuff, & gave this virus on my old 'puter that we couldn't get rid of 4 luv nor money. thankx, vinny, 4 getting my present of a new comp, & exxie, 4 the netbook!
 
lol, am unsure if this a rant or, maybe straight comedic- the weather in 'da burghhhhh! when i woke very early this morning, 'twas overcast/grey, the a/c was on. then the sunshine appeared so brightly that i needed to wear my tinted specs. then it stormed, lol, so the a/c was promptly nixed. now it's overcast again. i wub uuuuuu, 'burgh! (fer real, i luv this place- keeps my days interesting!)
 
someone just knocked @ 2am wanting 2 hang, i was like, 'er u kidding me???!! told them a few choice things before shutting the curtains, & returning to my 'puter!
 
laughs on my mind. (see the 'funny pics') thread,- me & my friend went some places. we get each other laffing sooooo much it aches. we're so blatantly ornery, oh my, if yinz heard the sarcasm & the antics, the bleeeeeeeeeeeps & the conversation....... i wub hanging w/ her- we listen 2 tunez, i take pix of stuff:kiss:

oh, i didn't type this evening's reasons 4 much of the laffs- 1st, she took the wrong way 2 get 2 one of the places we went. theeeen she went the wrong way in a parking garage. then she went the wrong way to the 'iggle. to make me further assured that she her ditz mode was on, she went the wrong way thru a 1-way alleyway. oh, my
me thinx she bought a bottle of wine @ the market district when i sent her 2 get me a few cans of sweetened condensed milk becuz my cans were dented & i was in line- yep, she probably slugged that while she was on her way to get that condensed milk, LOL um-hm

Rant--whine!
please set me strait!!
came home after a really long hard day at work--6pm, left house at 7:20am--no lunch......
saw a few neighbors on way to apt--chatted a few, in good mood..
went into kitchen to wash hands..found a flood!!
My dad, who still has a VNA nurse coming in, flooded the entire kitchen!
the nurse was late, he was upset, hurried--left his supper dish (salad-with lots of olive oil) in the sink, and did not shut the faucet off completely..so the container floated over to the drain and blocked it! .water everywhere--flood!
had to throw out all cardboard container from under the sink, wash out bottom of the plastic ones...threw many away---shelf liner floating.......entire floor had about an 1/8 inch of oily water.and salad stuff..counter was soaked! under coffee pot, toaster, toaster oven, cuisinard, mixer, bread, cookies, loaf cake--etc..all things in cardboard containers tossed;
used up all of my towels, all my paper towels, (still doing laundry at 10pm), water under my refrigerator, stove, everywhere.. Washed the oily water off the floor twice---threw 2 rugs away!, 2 dumpster drops-5 bags total, --have to deal with under the frig and stove tomorrow........
YUK!
My dad felt sooo bad...I was swearing up a blue streak---I did tell him it was ok, that I still love him, but he has to be careful. I know he feels really bad, was trying so hard to help me..but he couldn;t--I would be really upset if he fell...so just told him to go away--I feel so bad now for saying that...I tried to explain to him, i hope he understand--i really do love him....he is my daddy.....
venting--sorry

Bless your heart cyn. What a day you've had. I'm sure your dad knows that you love him. I think we've all had days when we just want to scream. Remember the old Calgon commercials? Just go take a nice long bath and forget about things for a while. You deserve to pamper yourself for at least a little while.
