  1. Also in mountainous SC too and GA too. Praying for all involved.1
  2. Part of 140 fell into the river. A hospital in Unocoi, TN. (near NC) had to put staff and patients on roof since the roads got flooded.1
  3. From what I've read, Usher is both a victim (apparently, he had some k8nd of Puffyschool, where parents left their kids who wanted to become successful singers) and a perpetrator (in at least one situation w/ 1 singer). What I am thinking about is how unlike Weinstein in the acting world, Combs has a much worse case against him. Arson, trafficking women and teens, apparently. The " school " was also a source of youngsters to get victimized. Threats not only to careers but to their lives.111- !
  4. Good morning! Hope you feel better @ScoutTN Me, I didn't get enough sleep---- and late last night, after doctor's office is closed, got a text saying that the eye dr appt I thought was for months was this Friday is actually this coming Monday so I now I need to make appt to measure my eyes too- get new glasses, make a new appt for my ophthalmologist appt and dh's too and also just go ahead and make retinal ophthalmologist appt because I probably will get in sooner.

Get in contact with my hematologist staff and figure out how many days I have to be off Xarelto for my endoscopy in 2 weeks Check lab results at both AEL and Crestwood That is turning out to be so very difficult. I have to hand deliver my patient release form to the hospital (the super helpful medical records lady told me that she completely understands my frustration with no doctors talking to one another, all portals being super difficult or non functional, etc., and told me that the fastest way to get my lab results from the ones done on Monday is to hand deliver the release and put my email on it--- this is the issue w/ my liver) The AEL lab results have bots responding to me. Check to see if speech therapy evaluation at 10 is happening ( she will be helping me with my swallowing difficulties- just this week, my autonomic nervous system failure caused pill to go into wind pipe ((which I coughed up)) and some water I was drinking without a straw- and I didn't cough that up. unfortunately) plus my breathing difficulties due to aspiration of water, asthma, and AS too which affected the cartilage system in between my ribs, and aphasia from traumatic brain injury in 2014, plus brain fog combined with ADHD and executive function which I was had issues with Finish inputting medical mileage and checking dh's input of medical expenses Send info to health advocate Send anniversary surprise basket idea to glamping staff Set up hvac appt for re checking new condenser and furnace check Call Tricare re why one copay is so high, why a claim is being challenged, and get Get dh appt w sleep doctor at VA - his mouth appliance is more than 7 years overdue for replacement and first opening for new sleep doctor is late January 2025.

Start packing
  5. I have factor V Leiden. So does dd1. BUT DD2 doesn't and is forming blood clots anyway. Because there are a few d8fferent autoimmune causes also for blood clots. And I am struggl8ng w this now. I was on warfarin because of my history with anti phospholipid antibodies. My hemotologist put me on Xarelto. I believe I have gotten new blood clots since then. But the doct9r who actually did ultrasound hasn't responded to my own doctor's request for notes.

  7. @TheReader praying for your family. Wasn't your dh out of the country recently? If so, please be super careful and keep track ofh8s symptoms and don't hesitate to take him to an infections doctor if necessary. Unfortunately,, there are just so many mosquito- borrne, and water born, and in general soil borne, other insect borne- sand fleas for example, nematode borne, and even touch8ng some plants are known to cause our dnacto change. And I missed a few days so don't know if y0u already said he tested posit8ve for fly, Zika, Covid, West Nile, RSV, or anything at all. Unfortunately, we are having outbreaks of everything w/ out even leaving our country.
  8. You would have to get rid of the 1st amendment of the Bill of Rights section of the US Constitution. Under that, press has protections. Us Supreme Court rulings have long ruled that privacy ends when you are out in public and even to the point that you allow yourself to be seen in public- like unshaded windows. They could do the blurr8ng voluntarily. As to your comment about trauma last8ng acl9ng time. That is partially based on genetics. Apparently, I have a higher propensity to develop ptsd and did -but not about violence and crime. For that k8nd of stuff - I haven't had problems but bureaucratic messed-ups cause panic attacks as do medical incompetency nightmares and bothbof those being leveled at me by an incompetent nurse and clueless PA ledcto me basically losing almost a year and a half of sane life.nnSonO totally get anyone being very affected.However, most don't get Ptsd., andceven w/ genetic tendency towards anxiety and/or depression- none of my family got it f4om crime or terrorism - brains are super complicated and we know so very little.
  9. That "fact of life comment was taken completely out of context, He said the opposite, we should not take it as a fact of life. Then he talked about measures like metal detectors, etc.
  10. I am on 2 meds that can cause it and on one of them I am following my doctor's directions as to how to stop it safely andce less pain. Then other one is my every 6 months injection at my rheumatologist's to grow bone.and it has been costing us over 5K a year after dental insurance so now I am thinking of just going back on Boniva. .I am getting my visual fields test and my full eye exam.
  11. I was taken off methotrexate after I got an antibiotic resistant infection from a bug bite in my peri-orbital area. I was switched to Arava and I stopped that last year cause I was already concerned about liver issues w it. I am on Enbrel which has been very much helping my RA and AS but not my lupus and Sjogren's. But my inflammation markers have been lower too. My enzymes are fine now except lately Albumin has been low. My RDW and MCH have been messed up for ages. I am seeing a CRNP Monday but will be going back cause I need a swallow test and a endoscopy too since I last had that about ten years ago and not at this gastro office.
  12. My eye appt w ophthalmologist is next Friday.
  13. I won't use fingerprinting my gun or my phone. We have locks on our guns. We owned one gun when my kids were younger. We kept it locked and had no ammo.
  14. But child molesters and sex crimes in general, nobody ages out. And how often they get minor sentences and allowed to victimized more people,
  15. And mak8ng videos holding a gun and threatening to shoot people is a very long, deliberate and planned act. It is not the same as a careless remark of an impulsive adhd kid who speaks w/ out thinking about what he/she said and just had a really bad day but an hour later, is fine again. Law enforcement and educational staff need to be smart enough to not throw everyone who ever says " I could kill that ..." in act6p8cal frustrated way in jail while actually protecting people fr9m the ones who are dangerous. The ones who are making videos w guns or bombs or pledging allegiance to ISIS, etc. And not give up just because suspect isn't home or answering the doorc(Nashville guy) or parent seems sketch and yet you believe their promise.
