This is how they are making money on their sinking ship. Hold up your money or refuse to give it back. I have to now wait until Dec 11 for them to investigate the 2nd dispute over the recharge.

When I get tested, I always get made to feel like a fifth grade asshole. I told the assistant that I did exercise and tried to eat well in the midst of expensive, low-quality food that tastes like crap. If they would actually read up on this stuff, assistants would know that it's not that simple. Your cholesterol will not magically lower if you are older and a certain gender.
Virginia gives you the right to refuse blood tests. High cholesterol is NOT all the patient's fault. Quit the superiorly-toned advice. I have some advice for you assistants:
Get some education if you don't have an IQ of 2 or leave me out of your condescending advice.
Any warm body is not acceptable to perform health care, however cheaper it is.Wildcardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13259824299209278215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981349638479493683.post-53003710072148144582023-09-21T17:45:00.003-04:002023-09-21T17:45:47.928-04:00and this is what I do when Mom's not home<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFnfobyukK_SQ0FMkUPrJWt_6YprFi7BCGd1V49Gy604h489ccDxxhiuOEqxl3ONRJcdhYT0o5W7GxIMobOAAMbjOhsHOBqd0ThpvFI8l58n_K57vOfzx8KyEqUAgJ6DQlY2gS1IftFy4kGAarEFSt6gUmp_OJISzw93ei1eGpUqA8wUCFSLQxxiP4t4O1/s640/animal-1298913_640.png" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="200" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="384" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFnfobyukK_SQ0FMkUPrJWt_6YprFi7BCGd1V49Gy604h489ccDxxhiuOEqxl3ONRJcdhYT0o5W7GxIMobOAAMbjOhsHOBqd0ThpvFI8l58n_K57vOfzx8KyEqUAgJ6DQlY2gS1IftFy4kGAarEFSt6gUmp_OJISzw93ei1eGpUqA8wUCFSLQxxiP4t4O1/s200/animal-1298913_640.png"/></a></div>Wildcardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13259824299209278215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981349638479493683.post-56747348357635736142023-09-21T15:59:00.002-04:002023-09-21T15:59:55.020-04:00I'm really tiredWe made cookies today<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR4GqOq7pmjNkqPWV5dZr5PrACehzY_WsTWErBDL3PCtGMccu9tXTcio1iuhtSfSaL_Ed1UIzh486AThAhtbRx7rYCyI9CksV7hHQ7-kvMjpz_V9cGcsbt9Z2k_BVI0vdnjOt6syk5X61xUHg0P4GLNwNJEu91wKL7rZruvOvdWRJ6WEKktMKiT8wehxDc/s1600/IMG_0168.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="200" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR4GqOq7pmjNkqPWV5dZr5PrACehzY_WsTWErBDL3PCtGMccu9tXTcio1iuhtSfSaL_Ed1UIzh486AThAhtbRx7rYCyI9CksV7hHQ7-kvMjpz_V9cGcsbt9Z2k_BVI0vdnjOt6syk5X61xUHg0P4GLNwNJEu91wKL7rZruvOvdWRJ6WEKktMKiT8wehxDc/s200/IMG_0168.jpg"/></a></div>Wildcardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13259824299209278215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981349638479493683.post-15369142079488027502023-09-21T15:00:00.001-04:002023-09-21T15:00:21.222-04:00I tell Mom to get to the dentist<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiMVf3ELYuUNE23MJgn76ACtFvK0Yl3rtQCoTwRpY7tdVWByDD4O4hIvueMVZ2WHtf9TB4bK89HAV_Mryp1F-SpC3EWUWijgznpNiISv6s5hhuEWrlm3pgYWS1aDOLZlIzk6zVQ-b_vHsqtkMpvgtEQvTYPVYjMKkXT0kYuLvjQJF6kEpKo67NAMMSCwyi/s612/istockphoto-184986128-612x612.webp" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="200" data-original-height="408" data-original-width="612" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiMVf3ELYuUNE23MJgn76ACtFvK0Yl3rtQCoTwRpY7tdVWByDD4O4hIvueMVZ2WHtf9TB4bK89HAV_Mryp1F-SpC3EWUWijgznpNiISv6s5hhuEWrlm3pgYWS1aDOLZlIzk6zVQ-b_vHsqtkMpvgtEQvTYPVYjMKkXT0kYuLvjQJF6kEpKo67NAMMSCwyi/s200/istockphoto-184986128-612x612.webp"/></a></div>Wildcardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13259824299209278215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981349638479493683.post-34465971663654652892023-09-21T14:50:00.002-04:002023-11-28T14:11:20.836-05:00Mom tried to teach me situps todayThis is as far as I got: <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinv0qps3FsjyvfoIoWJW4Tj-r44JT8CYlBQZLEE38Wh14FGKNOFbHS3ddlvoTsdPbA3acyX2HDl15R4rxJc9MXNBuKw_E-_UNnnxCs8tjIvxNg48sNdXW37cOrbhbS_2UeoTtgnnwv4LpOyQXzqZGGR3M7IAjMhxM1KFrHq_yQ3nHnqasDoN7HxkCvRR5U/s640/cat-2934720_640.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="200" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinv0qps3FsjyvfoIoWJW4Tj-r44JT8CYlBQZLEE38Wh14FGKNOFbHS3ddlvoTsdPbA3acyX2HDl15R4rxJc9MXNBuKw_E-_UNnnxCs8tjIvxNg48sNdXW37cOrbhbS_2UeoTtgnnwv4LpOyQXzqZGGR3M7IAjMhxM1KFrHq_yQ3nHnqasDoN7HxkCvRR5U/s200/cat-2934720_640.jpg"/></a></div>Wildcardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13259824299209278215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981349638479493683.post-83255446054289310262023-06-20T14:38:00.002-04:002023-06-20T14:38:23.550-04:00Even good, old Listerine has been watered downBought 2 bottles of Brand-name Listerine from Sam's.

Here Is How I Fixed My Dell 8940I tried all the suggestions from the MS forum and a few others from the Internet. Last time this happened, two updates ago, it was a Bios update from Dell that fixed the problem, then restarting.
This time, I downloaded current Dell updates, including the Bios update, and restarted the computer after each update. I think Windows updates should mention this fact, that you need updates from your computer brand also. I don't think the update persons care too much and seeing people squirm gives them that fuzzy, powerful feeling.
So update your Lenovo, whatever brand your computer. Go to their site and look for current updates.Wildcardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13259824299209278215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981349638479493683.post-62650933494634173192023-04-22T22:38:00.003-04:002023-06-08T18:23:17.884-04:00Green Heath CareI have to agree that every illness or non illness now is a syndrome, condition, or must have a catchy name so the pharmaceutical companies buy into it. Mental illness is real, but "providers" have taken the diagnoses too far, making it stylish to be mentally ill so they will have jobs and feel like heroes. Same goes with diagnoses for physical conditions. Over diagnoses means more money for all. It is a shame that "health care" is nothing but a money maker now under the disguise of "help."Wildcardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13259824299209278215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981349638479493683.post-28982219916572576122022-12-31T13:40:00.000-05:002022-12-31T13:40:05.401-05:00working for the weekend<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDGBga4CpSWeVg0p2D-w6aw7FGsKeMjdgL5mbK0lL2B1uCMzKPuTt5y3MSwm_6sr7zaaFwjY_B1uT9hmt1HfiLREp6KvcuilIFdrhiXrV5w8XPl0W6_V4apQJrQomOQXORAEGZ_gPFbswZy7oq4DTRfVeIGeMKJ44pyf9Kt97jCQITvx-5-MxYCFBjaw/s1600/IMG_0078.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="320" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDGBga4CpSWeVg0p2D-w6aw7FGsKeMjdgL5mbK0lL2B1uCMzKPuTt5y3MSwm_6sr7zaaFwjY_B1uT9hmt1HfiLREp6KvcuilIFdrhiXrV5w8XPl0W6_V4apQJrQomOQXORAEGZ_gPFbswZy7oq4DTRfVeIGeMKJ44pyf9Kt97jCQITvx-5-MxYCFBjaw/s320/IMG_0078.jpg"/></a></div>Wildcardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13259824299209278215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981349638479493683.post-73312296107866163052022-03-23T15:51:00.002-04:002022-03-23T15:51:31.369-04:00Applause to all the teachers who are taking a stand against disrespectful studentsCell phones should not be in the classroom, Period.

The males in this neighborhood seem to think that a female and her property is their right.
2 nights ago, one neighbor rang my bell and started to give me "h" about calling animal control last year about an animal I thought was being neglected. He told me that none of this happened until I came. He was drunk or high, because he kept changing subjects and his speech was meandering. Then he starts to say that he wants to have a discreet relationship with me and kept touching my foot. He said he wants me to have "what I have been missing," whatever that is. and on and on. Then he stated something about my being a better neighbor.
I just want to be left alone.
The day I moved here, another neighbor wanted to park in my yard, now won't talk to me because I said no, which is fine.
The neighbor next door actually asked me to go out with him and I changed the subject. He was coming in his yard every time I came out of the house for a while.
The police here have never seemed too concerned when I have called them about other things, not surprising.
I am 63. I want to be left alone. Danville, VA has been a nightmare for me. I am afraid to go out of my house and I have not slept for 2 nights.
I do not want to be accosted every time I have to go somewhere. I also don't want reprisal for telling someone, but this needs to stop. I no longer even want to greet or talk to any of my neighbors. 3 males I have had trouble with.
