What in the hell is this bundle of bs

What in the hell is this bundle of bs

Seems like online relationships. There are gaps in between so use a connection to keep the currnet passing lol

The fact that normal and routine bloodwork costs $1200 is fucking ridiculous. My insurance covered a lot of that, but

What
The
Fuckin
Fuck????

Shit is outta control.

Those costs are horrific. Here in the UK, our National Health Service may be crumbling, but that stuff is still free.

I waited two years for a hip replacement and was on the verge of spending £10k to get it done privately before getting a call from the hospital to say a cancellation had freed up a slot for me the following week.

I have also had two cancer scares in recent years. Both turned out to be benign but the care and kindness shown by the NHS staff was incredible.

Hope it doesn’t VIOLET rules here...

 

[KentLondon]

I hate hand holding and self back patting at my job.....

Congrats for doing your job.... applause....would you like a damn

We spend so much time in meetings talking about how great we are it is damn amazing we get anything done....

You'd love the world of sports committees ...

I've been wondering how far I could go myself. I have a few off color memes that might actually be considered offensive. So I keep them to myself and display my depravity in more generalized ways.

...and I'm still here.

I think.

Am I? ...*taps microphone... Is things on? Hello?

Damn it! Now I need to go make another account.

I wonder if Richard Cranium would go unnoticed. Hmm.

 

[Wonderer67]

is it on netfli or something?

It was actually at a movie theater.

It was pretty good. I’d give it three out of five. Led Zeppelin has never been my favorite band, it was a little bit too long and there was a little bit too much guitar wanking.

However, it was a really well done documentary, and there’s no doubting their excellent musicianship, their musical vision and their cohesiveness as a band.

The waste is what gets me... and some of the regulatory stuff is maddening.....

How can we have billions of dollars in donations to cancer research and be giving the same damn chemo meds that we gave 20 years ago????

 

[Wonderer67]

The whole medical system and establishment needs to be blown up and build from scratch.

That’s all I got to say about that.

Going to bed. Good night all.

 

[nipplecaresser]

Just popping in to give you an update. Spent all morning at an urgent care, then the pharmacy at the VA and then the lab for bloodwork (unrelated to what ails me). On a Z pack for strep and a sinus infection. Taking it easy for a few days, lots of water and vitamin C. I doubt I’ll be on much for a few days, just wanted to say “hey”.

Backatcha! Transatlantic good wishes heading your way.

 

[nipplecaresser]

Good morning Geriatrics Anonymous. I've got that Friday feeling!

 

[nipplecaresser]

Thought for the day

The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me.

I used to be so unpopular in meetings for asking why management thought things were going well while customers and staff were leaving. "But profits are up." "Yes, because you've cut staff levels and saved more in salaries than you've lost in inflows. How long do you think that can go on?"

I'm so glad I'm now retired...and so are they, I'm sure

I asked my boss the other day who is responsible for the data regarding attribution and another thing that doesn't make any sense to you. There's only one person responsible for it, and no one ever questions them. I don't think he's dishonest I just think that data can show you what you want it to show that doesn't mean it's true. But since he's popular and everybody likes them and people are intimidated by his brains no one questions him. And I can't question him cuz I don't know as much as he does but I just don't understand some of the stuff he says well this metric is 80% but really it's 83% because we're not taking into consideration blah blah blah blah blah. Well if it's 80% it's 80%. I said has anybody tried to recreate the data that he obtains if no one can recreate it is it true? I'm pretty sure that my asking that question was really not appreciated. I am a little out of sorts so it's probably best to just keep my mouth shut

 

[Missk_2022]

I also ask things like we're doing this process but what's after that we could send the provider a query but if they don't answer it then what doesn't matter how many queries we send if zero are answered. And then what, but the providers don't interact then what. I feel negative but like think this s*** through. Especially since this group wants to push work off onto my team that their responsible for. I straight up say no I'm not doing it hahaha. I'm sure people hate my guts but oh f****** well they don't eat at my dining table

There are 3 kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.

 

[nipplecaresser]

My wife and I met on a website for dolphin impersonators.
We clicked straight away.

My wife said to me “There’s 14 reasons why I’m leaving you, and don’t even get me started on your tennis obsession!”
I said “Well that’s 15, love…”

My wife kept saying I should treat her like a princess.
So I forced her to marry an old guy she’d never met to secure an alliance with the French.

My wife has just fallen over and dropped a basket full of freshly ironed clothes.
I just sat back and watched it all unfold!

My wife has accused me of not having any empathy.
I don’t understand why she feels that way.

My wife and I are both tightrope walkers.
We met online…

My wife asked me if I would change our 1 month old son.
I told her I liked the one we have.

I’ve just bought a house with period features…
My wife really hates that nickname.

 

[nipplecaresser]

Do married people live longer than single people or does it just SEEM longer?

If you're cross-eyed and have dyslexia, can you read all right?

Can fat people go skinny-dipping?

If a stealth bomber crashes in a forest, will it make a sound?

If the police arrest a mime-artist, do they tell him he has the right to remain silent?

What do you do when you see an endangered animal that eats only endangered plants?

Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?

Why do they report power cuts on TV?

 

[Dayhoosier]

Good morning all....I'm awake way way way too early.. damn dogs. But anyway it's Friday so I'll keep the grousing to myself for the most part.

See if I can't fall back asleep but if not. You know what time it is? COFFEE TIME *does his newly designed coffee dance*

When it comes to data and statistics it’s always best to have an in depth look and by an independent peer. We used this approach on our water pilot testing to be sure the data was not massaged.

Keep asking questions!

last day of the weeks sucks better than a vacuum cleaner

 

[Greylag]

That sounds... traumatic! But wait! Did he put googly eyes on the apples?

Yes traumatised for life ... my worst nightmare is being chased down the street naked by gnashing dentures while the neighbours look helplessly on @Lilianna23

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

Yes it’s true. Especially correlation does not mean causation! And there is always the assumption that the data is normally distributed which it’s not most of the time.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Holy shit

Babysitting stupid people is even worse...

So did you run off tge crackhead? Looking for shelter or to steal? Or both?

Looking for a warm place to squeeze out a dump.


I didn't hit him.


I wanted to.


I really wanted to . . . .

 

[Greylag]
