The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

Long day yesterday….14 hours door to door. Picking up on pheasants was hard work. Give me partridges every time. Quarter the weight but they shoot as many pheasants. 20 plus or more in your pack and carrier and that’s a lot of weight to carry off the hill. Sam retrieved a turkey!

Fly tying Club AGM was okay just too long at nearly three hours. Our Chair has verbal diahrrea! I could have done it in a third the time.

Today was a three hour site meeting …thank goodness I am on the hill tomorrow and a day shooting Saturday.
Sounds like a great day (sans the three hours of droning by the chair).
 
I love thunder and lightning. As a kid I could watch storms from the front porch. Over time I have been too close to lightning strikes and have seen the ground smoking. One time on a boat we were headed in to the dock and the guy on the boat hair started standing up!!!!
Wow! I like thunderstorms too, but ya gotta respect Mother Nature!!!
 
I had the most yummy tuna salad sandwich for dinner and grapes.... nothing by mouth after midnight......I am having an egd tomorrow at 130. My dad is taking me. God help me. My stomach was bad today. I had to go to a doc office today and he is such an arrogant asshole..... he is angry we are there and takes it out on us.... he called me to yell at me a couple weeks ago.... dick
Fuck that doc.

Sounds like a total asshole. I wish you luck and good results on your test today, k.

The Dr. is an asshole. Damn. That sucks.
 
Steroids are good for healing cell walls that inflammation destroys. For some people, roid rage is very real. I become so poisonous, I don't like myself at all. A literal Jekyll/Hyde situation. For those reasons, I will delay taking them as much as possible. Sometimes, because of my own health issues, taking them is inevitable.
Interesting.

I know people have all sorts of reactions to them. I only tolerate low dose well. Don't sleep on higher dose, and retain a lot of water on them. But I feel good on them. I'm happier, actually have energy, can and do want to do things. I basically feel alive on them.

Oh, and when I left the area the other week.
 
I was one of the nincompoop inspectors in my last job as Quality manager. Much of my job was mandated by the State and Federal governments.

It's all about money. Organizations try to cut corners to save money which can result in unacceptable patient outcomes. CMS had to implement "guidelines" (read - requirements) for outcome measures in order for payment to happen.
Yep....
I tell you what cms needs to do is look at the payer side and make all the targets the same...... and fix attribution.... and get rid of doctor self select. Susan's aunts cousin neice brothers girlfriend likes dr Jones so Susan picks Dr Jones as her provider ...he goes on the insurance card and he is responsible for her til she gets and is seen by someone else. HOW IN THE HELL is dr Jones supposed to figure out what to do if the only way to fix it is to magically contact the patient to come in to be seen (with no contact info) or tell the patient to call the insurance company and tell them the "real" name of their doctor.... again with no contact info......

If the rules made sense it would be a lot easier

Got a stinking ticket yesterday😡. Left the detector in the house as I usually just go with flow, but was running late…

Pulled the detector out later, after the ticket, went to hook it up…no 12v connector in the late model truck! 🙄. Good grief…the funny not funny thing is the spot where I got the tix…that’s where I got my very first speeding ticket when I was 16…they hide in the church yard. Lazer gun got me. Dammit…you’d think I’d learn…

Here’s a shout out to dkak101 MZ…

A Gordon doing what he does best!
Sorry, you got a ticket bud.

Life has a funny way of taking a full circle sometimes. First ticket and hopefully your last ever ticket!!
 
Good morning everyone. Well the MRI of the brain pan housing group came back negative (yes I have a brain for what it’s worth, but nothing out of the ordinary). Also the biopsy screening for skin cancer came back benign. So all that leaves me with is a crater in the middle of my forehead. All of this is good news, now let’s see what is the root cause for my 7 week long headache. Hope everyone has a great day.
Dude!

First off, I’m glad that you are test both came back negative.

But a 7 week headache is out of the ordinary. Damn, bro. I hope you can get to the root cause of that.

Sending positive thoughts your way.
 
There is a whole laundry list of issues going on, many of them interrelated. Stress is just one of them. I’m out of shape, but really can’t exercise due to chronic pain. I’m working on addressing that as well. On the plus side I’ve lost over 20 lbs, just another 20 to go.
Stress is obviously really bad. It might be something in your diet if it’s causing chronic pain.

Glad you are losing weight. And if the chronic pain lessons, perhaps you’ll lose more..

Fingers crossed for you, brother!

The “rules” are all about maximizing profit. Well-being and preventative care goes on the back burner.

Patients are fucked. And if you don’t have health care… (wait I violated the posts rules).

I will stop.
