It seems like the VA would have case managers to help veterans deal with all the moving parts. I would think it's hard for the average person to manage it. I was basically my husband's case manager.

That would be nice, but they leave it up to the Veteran to try and figure out how to navigate the system.

You could very well be on to something. A lot of little things can add up to one great big thing. Regardless of root cause, I really hope you find relief soon!

Thanks

Good morning everyone. Time to make the coffee and do the adulting. Not a big fan of adulting, but I doubt I can get a refund since it’s been over 30 days since my purchase and I’m sure the trial period has expired long ago.

Watching a couple extra dogs and they didn’t understand the time change so got up at 5 am and let them do their business. Good thing it’s a snow day might nap later.

Oh, and I forgot the best one! One of the water line PEX fittings cracked and started leaking. Luckily it was in the basement, and not one in the wall upstairs.

Bought all the tools and crimp rings to replace that. I'm sure it's only matter of time.

I know the plumber who did the work, and he's been doing this for a long time. He said he's never seen one fail before.
It's probably my ongoing feud with Murphy...

I used to do work for a contractor who renovated apartment buildings. Our lender/tax-credit/inspectors wouldn't accept buildings with PEX in them for that very reason. All the lines would have to be replaced, and that's a chore.

EDIT: this is wrong. It was Qest that wasn't worth a tinker's dam. PEX is the new stuff. See the note in another post about s/s fittings.

What did they replace them with?

Nothing is perfect!!

But I’ll take the rural life every day.

Except for murder hornets! They can fuck the fuck right off IMO!!!

 

[nipplecaresser]

Asian Ma-ma-murder hornets?!

The ones we have in France are Asian Hornets, smaller relative of the Asian Giant (Murder) Hornet. Still nasty little critters that attack honey bees. We also have European Hornets which are, size-wise, in between Asian and Asian Giants but not as aggressive.
We have now exhausted my hornet knowledge!

Absolutely!

Yeah. It's brutal if you have to work that weekend. Nothing like seeing the clocks go back to 0100 at 0200.

Cops are real twats that weekend, too, forgetting, of course, that they got over on the Spring Forward weekend.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Just this day, Wat??? I might have been doing this all wrong.

Me, too.


Okay, I'm lying . . . .

Have a great day all. I hear on the grape vine it's a good week to disable our TVs. "Ladies and gents take my advice. Pull down your pants and slide on the ice"......

 

[dkak001]

Unplugged the phone last night (one robot call after another, all political!).

I don't drink, but very seriously debating on getting a bottle of crown royal for tomorrow...

I have tried oatmeal SO many times! I want to like oatmeal, but it doesn't like me. I get what feels like a blood sugar crash after an hour. Doesn't matter what I put in it, nuts, fruit, oils, flax. I used to like eggs, until I figured out I was somewhat allergic to them...

Lately it's been a fruit and veggie smoothie (broccoli, carrot, celery, blackberries, apples, etc.) Strangely, those last all morning. Or beans and rice, heavy on the beans. Topped with a splash of salsa. (And sometimes a little sour cream mixed in).

Don’t eat my breakfast cookies as heavy in oatmeal. I have become more vegetarian with complex carbs and other sources of protein.

I would love it if he forgot my number, my address, my everything. Such an annoyance!!

I like your calculations better!

Me, too

More accurate...lol

I need to look through the avs now that things have calmed down.
Yeah a bit.... I still have my moments. I walked around a lot yesterday and my back was hurting

hope your system has calmed from the procedure and feeling less achy and hurty

what TV?

Not everything translates all that well:

I work for a large international property and casualty insurance company. Every two years on even years they have a large meeting of property underwriting bigwigs, called IPUM. (International Property Underwriting Meeting).

Following this logic, what do you think they call the casualty meetings???
