Good morning, you beautiful people of Y Ma'am. [snip] That is one gorgeous picture. We get pink sunrises/sunsets, sometimes, as an extra treat from mother nature. Not like what you posted though. Thank you! Our sunrises in particular are frequently special, due to being over the water, I suppose. Clouds form from the moisture and sunlight bounces off them.

I don't know what a "transfer station" is, but the New York Post stated an hour ago that several items were found there, including a hatchet, hacksaw, etc.
Doubt this poor lady is still alive.

And I am blaring the Lizzo. The concern is that I call folks a b*tch.
That's a problem.

I didn't sleep well Sunday night and made up for it last night. I'm kind of feeling foggy from sleeping too long. Time for a shower and really getting moving.

I just though I should let you know that because of your gorgeous pictures I have now placed your home on my bucket list No not a stalker but just my bizarre sense of humor but seriously I love looking at them when I check out this thread from time to time. So a big LIKE for them all now and in the future!!

Doubt this poor lady is still alive. A transfer station is a location to dispose of garbage. People pay to drop their trash in a roll off container. The garbage service then takes the containers to the landfill for disposal. Keeps the motoring public out of the landfill area.

Makes my stomach turn just thinking about it. Hope the bast**d that did this rots in prison forever!!
p.s. Thank you for the explanation.

And even if it is somehow just gas, how do you prevent that from happeningDiet. You can make dietary changes, to eat foods that don't produce a lot of gas. Did she not tell you that? Anyway, it doesn't sound like just gas to me. Pink's issues sound similar to a gall bladder attack. When I have not been minding what I eat, I will get an attack after eating too much greasy food and alcohol. Puts me down on the bathroom floor like I went out on some kind of bender. When this happens, I don't know which end is going to be busy. I am self diagnosed with my problem, so there's that. My father and his mother both had their gall bladders removed. They both liked greasy food. One thing I have read that has helped, is to eat several times throughout the day. Eating only once or twice a day puts more strain on your digestive tract. I also try to drink a glass of water before bed to help my gut move things along, and then another glass of water as soon as I wake up. Gall bladder trouble can alternate between constipation and loose bowel so that you never know what will happen.

The garbage service then takes the containers to the landfill for disposal. Keeps the motoring public out of the landfill area. Different meaning here. It's a very long drive to the landfills so instead of local collection trucks being out of service to drive their one load to the landfill, they go to transfer stations around the area, their load into giant 18-wheel trucks, and get back to work while the big trucks, when full, head to the landfill. Saves gas, driver salaries, and miles on the smaller and very expensive automated collection vehicles. No private citizens are allowed to enter the transfer station site.

I am about to head to bed. I FINALLY get to see the GI Doctor for my follow up appointment tomorrow morning. This is the follow up from when I saw him in August, had all the tests done that he ordered for me within the next week, and then got ghosted until October, when they finally called and gave me an appointment for a follow up visit on January 17th. After I get what I need from him tomorrow, I am going to voice my displeasure about how I’ve been left hanging since I did all the tests he wanted me to do at the end of August, even though I kept calling trying to get appointments with him and asking about the results of the tests I’d had done, and asking to be notified if they had any cancellations so I could get back to see him, how I’ve explained to his nurse that my symptoms have started happening more often and interfered my ability to work, because my job is such that I can’t just work through this shit….. when his nurse could be be bothered to even call me back after I left messages, and how this whole ordeal has just been a fucking shitshow that has affected my quality of life and stressed me the fuck out and caused me to be in trouble with my job, to the point I got a nasty letter in the mail from my job, that said if I don’t have a good reason for my attendance issues and can’t provide medical documentation for why my attendance is so horrible, they might try to fire me, and I still don’t know how that’s going to turn out, which has added to my stress. I am also pissed that when Mister got tired of me looking crazy (I stopped complaining a long time ago, because I was sick of my own self whining about my issues, but Mister was constantly asking me why I was always frowning and looking upset), he called them on my behalf, and they were much more helpful and had more conversation with HIM, than they’d ever tried to be with me, the damn patient. For HIM, they managed to move my appointment from the 17th of this month, to the 10th, tomorrow. AND when HE called, they could get the nurse on the line to talk to him, when all the hundreds of times I’ve called, I had to leave the nurse a message saying why I was calling, and she may or may not return my call. She told Mister I needed to have some more tests done, but when I called to see what I needed to do to have whatever tests she was talking about done, I had to leave messages for her, and the bitch still has not responded to those messages and called me back. So my soul is on fire about all of this, but I’m going to play it cool tomorrow morning until I get some answers and hopefully some documentation for my job, but THEN, Imma have a talk with the Doctor. Because if he knows this is how his patients are treated and he is okay with that, Imma cuss his ass clean out, try not to punch him in his throat, and find another GI Doctor. I am so stressed out and upset and ANGRY about this whole ordeal, that I can’t even articulate how I feel about it without cussing. I’m not being trifling. My attendance at work sucks because I have been having real life issues, and the symptoms haven’t gotten worse, but they got to where it was every fucking day, usually starting in the middle of the night, when I already have insomnia, and continuing throughout the day. I am exhausted and I just don’t feel good at all. I had to go do something for my Mom last week, and after I got dressed and ready to go, it was another hour before I felt like I could maybe make that long drive without having to pull over because my stomach was hurting so bad, and hopefully without having a sudden urge to shit and end up shitting on myself because I’m not near a restroom. My apologies for the TMI. I went to my PCP a couple of weeks ago to see if she could recommend something to give me some relief until I could get to my appointment with the stupid GI Doctor. Nope, she’s stupid too. Not knowing what the problem is and dealing with all of that has affected my mental state so bad that I reached out to a therapist for help. And the stress of dealing with it and worrying about my job has aggravated some of the other physical issues I have that are painful. But the 1 and only thing I do know from the tests the GI Doctor had me do, is that I was advised to not take NSAID’s because my stomach lining is irritated or something. So just FUCK ME. My job is already in jeopardy because of this shit, and if I lose my job, I lose everything anyway, so what does it matter if I get arrested for laying hands on a Doctor? Somebody will bail me out. I know I have been venting and ranting here a lot recently, so Imma try my best to just shut up now and stop talking about my crazy ass life. I think it’s easier to talk about the shit going on with Mister and his family, than it is to talk about the shit going on with me, for whatever reason that maybe the counseling I’ve been having might help me sort out eventually. I don’t understand why my life has to be so crazy, and I don’t understand why shit doesn’t work when I reach out and try to get help from so called medical professionals. I have never given up to the point I’ve been suicidal, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to beat somebody’s ass sometimes if I feel like they deserve it. And all of that is before I can even get to how I feel about all this shit going on in our world and being a Black woman in this raggedy ass country, worrying about my loved ones, my children and grandchildren and all the hatred and biases toward all of us. And all of this shit is why I feel like a crazy person. It’s too much. My dad is going through something very similar. i wouldn't be surprised if he punches someone pretty soon.

Why would a grown woman who styles herself as a community advocate, community representative etc keep replying on Nextdoor to defend some weirdo who is sending creepy private messages to women in different areas suggesting a hookup and getting really nasty when they turn him down. The woman keeps posting, "he's probably just a kid playing games, don't report him!" How can anyone defend that behavior? I wonder if she has a young male relative out there. Whatever, it's not a good luck to defend sexual harassment

Doubt this poor lady is still alive. It's a station. You take your garbage to the transfer station, and you it into a container that fits of the back of a truck. When the container is full, it gets hauled to a landfill.

If's a form of self protection. It will never happen to me because I'm better/smarter than them.

My final 2 attacks that had me doubled over were caused by a grilled chicken breast and a bran muffin. They were not the first attacks, but the ones that sent me to the ER. Until then, things had been fairly well controlled by diet. It’s a huge mind fuck when you don’t know what you eat is going to cause you to double over in pain. I don’t miss my gall bladder in the least. At the end, I was ready to do surgery on myself.

Yeah I was ready to die to end the pain before they removed my gallbladder. Anything was better than that. I was admitted to the hospital and then got to wait a day and a half for a surgeon to get me on their schedule.
My mom made it through the last 6 weeks of nursing school on a liquid diet trying to baby her gallbladder. It flared up Christmas and was gone before New Years.
I would not wish that pain on anyone.

So Mister is in an uproar now, because he looked at his Dad’s account when he went to the hospital, and his Dad has been blowing money again. And his Dad got an attitude because Mister said something about how that money was for the bills that are already behind. He told them, your mortgage payments start back on the first of next month, you figure out how to make up the payments you’ve missed, your car note is due on whatever date, and it’s already a month behind, the utility bill at the house is past due, here’s all your medicine, Y’ALL HAVE AT IT, I’M OUT. And he left. I asked if his Mom understands the gravity of the financial situation, he said he doesn’t know, she just kept asking them to stop fussing, but probably not, because his Dad doesn’t seem to understand it. Last week, his Dad asked Mister if the money in Dad’s bank account was his money or Mister’s. He seemed to be under the impression that Mister has been putting money in his account. Mister told him no, that’s your money, from your pension. His Dad said “oh, I better start paying attention to what I’m doing then, huh”. It’s fine to fuck up what he thinks is Mister’s money then? I couldn’t make this shit up if I tried. Lord, give me strength! PLEASE! What is he spending all this money on and how? Is he internet shopping? He doesn't strike me as very tech savvy. He doesn't drive the car to go to a store I think.

His future standing in the world is far more important than any damage he may be doing to those women. They need to get over themselves it's just a bit of fun.

I've had mine removed too. But that kind of pain could mimic the gallbladder or pancreas. I had the same thing, was on the commode off the commode. They need to see you for sure.
We went to have my EGD done today. I did everything they asked, had not even eaten since I said 9 last night. But it was earlier because I wanted to be sure my gut was cleared. Drank lots of water last night too.
So they start the procedure and could not complete it, said my stomach was full of food! Say what? I asked him if ozempic could cause that, he didn't seem sure, of course the nurse said yes. The problem is I have had that pain in my side for probably 10 years, way predates that and the constipation issues too. He is going to do a gastric emptying study, which I likely need, taking it or not taking it. Now I have to wait for his orders, probably end up like Pink. These places are so darn busy. I will wait till the end of the week and call again if they don't. Just maybe they will find out what is wrong. I have a real pain sometimes when my stomach is emptying out, can literally feel it. Like I said that is nothing new.
Strange thing is last time hubs had a colonsocopy they said he didn't clean out either and I know we both damn well did. The doc said drink a lot of water so I will.
I am reading more and more people are having gut issues. I think it's all the crappy, processed foods they are feeding us and I'm not so sure that GMO stuff isn't hurting all of us. I know a lot of stuff I eat doesn't taste right or good anymore, and all 3 of us are starting to notice it.
The only stuff I can really tolerate is what I grow and can at home and that is very limited.
They told me I would likely go home and sleep, I didn't yet, but I'm so dizzy I will be soon. Likely the anesthetic they gave me. Next time I will live on soups for a couple of days, I considered doing that this time and should have, I guess. Right now, I'm having Mrs.'s Grasses Noodle Soup, I like it.

I was in the ER 3 times in 4 months with pains in my stomach. I have a high threshold, but it was AWFUL. The first 2 times I was unemployed and had no insurance. The third time I was employed with insurance. I drank some nasty stuff and they took images that were inconclusive. Doctor came in later to tell me that they were "pretty sure" it was my gall bladder and did the surgery the next morning.
I hate the health care system in the US.

Having a battle of wills with last remaining coworker. Since boss added job duties to me last week, it is impossible for me to do everything he asks and continue to help her with other duties. I may need to have a discussion with our boss to address this.
I will likely end up spending the next couple of months cleaning up other people's shit. Something has to go.

My Dr. visit this morning….. Now he wants me to do a CT scan. They could’ve called me during the last 5 months and told me they were setting that up. That could’ve BEEN done. But whatever, I’ll do the CT scan, of course, but then what? Wait another 3 months to discuss the results and find out what’s next? I am SO disgusted. I asked,” in the meantime, what can I do about the pain? “ He said we just have to see what the CT scan results are. I told him that the kind of job I have, this is not something I can work through, and I’m missing so much work that I’m already in trouble with my job, and at the rate I’m going I might end up getting fired. He said “oh no, we don’t want that. That’s a good job”. Well HELP ME! I’ve been calling and calling your office, trying to get this addressed so I can either feel better or at least have some documentation for my job. When your nurse could be bothered to return my calls, I explained to her that I can’t work like this. I’ve gone to my PCP a few weeks ago, to see if she could recommend something until I got to my appointment today. My partner even called your office on my behalf (he said, yes, he remembers that!), I’m not sure what else I was supposed to do to other than go to the Doctor that’s supposed to be helping me with this, YOU, to try to get some relief or at least some documentation for my job that I’m having medical issues and not just being trifling. Nobody even returned my calls when I left messages trying to see what I needed to do about whatever other tests your nurse told my partner I needed to get done. He said he can’t give me any documentation for my job until he has a diagnosis and just kept talking about how they’ve been so booked up. I didn’t start cussing or yelling, but I was SO mad. Hopefully I can get the CT scan scheduled for the next couple of days. I’m thinking that when the results come back from that, if I don’t hear from him, I’m going to try to find another GI doctor and just have them get my records from this one. Does that sound like a bad plan? He asked if I’ve lost weight. Just a few pounds, my weight fluctuates. He pressed around my abdomen and asked if it hurt. No. He said, well, if you’d lost a lot of weight or your abdomen was tender to the touch, that would mean it’s something serious. WTF?! It is serious to ME, regardless, because it fucking hurts and I can’t do my fucking job, standing on my feet all day lifting and carrying heavy shit because of the pain and the fact that I spend half my damn day in the bathroom! I could probably deal with the nausea at work, but NOT the other stuff. And I just realized he didn’t say anything else about the tests his nurse told Mister I needed to have done, even though I brought it up. His nurse told Mister she didn’t advise going to the ER. I don’t want to go there anyway, because it’s cooties in the ER, and a million people, with all this crap going around.

I had to have one of those chats, back when I was working. My coworker was related to the had of HR, so she never got in trouble. But she constantly needed help doing her job and asked for my help. Boss thought I wasn't doing enough, so gave me additional work. I was fine with that, as long as I didn't have to do coworkers job all the time, too. Good luck.

I am so low-tech that I should teleport into early 2000-something. I have started walking every day at the Y, but I need music to make it happen. Yes, I have an Iphone, but even it came with earbuds, which make my ears hurt. And I would rather use my ancient Ipod Shuffle, which I haven't used in years. But it doesn't support Bluetooth. So I found a pair of headphones that would plug in on Amazon. They are padded and comfortable. I don't give a rip what I look like, which will come as no surprise to my fellow walkers. I will be stylin' and profilin' . . . as we used to say way back then!

So Mister is in an uproar now, because he looked at his Dad’s account when he went to the hospital, and his Dad has been blowing money again. And his Dad got an attitude because Mister said something about how that money was for the bills that are already behind. He told them, your mortgage payments start back on the first of next month, you figure out how to make up the payments you’ve missed, your car note is due on whatever date, and it’s already a month behind, the utility bill at the house is past due, here’s all your medicine, Y’ALL HAVE AT IT, I’M OUT. And he left. I asked if his Mom understands the gravity of the financial situation, he said he doesn’t know, she just kept asking them to stop fussing, but probably not, because his Dad doesn’t seem to understand it. Last week, his Dad asked Mister if the money in Dad’s bank account was his money or Mister’s. He seemed to be under the impression that Mister has been putting money in his account. Mister told him no, that’s your money, from your pension. His Dad said “oh, I better start paying attention to what I’m doing then, huh”. It’s fine to fuck up what he thinks is Mister’s money then? I couldn’t make this shit up if I tried. Lord, give me strength! PLEASE! What is he spending all this money on and how? Is he internet shopping? He doesn't strike me as very tech savvy. He doesn't drive the car to go to a store I think. Fast food when he can get away from Mister. The vending machines at the hospital. ATM withdrawals that Mister doesn’t know where the money went. Mister set up a budget for him before he even came here, to try to get the bills caught up. Mister pays for his medicine. He lost his glasses a couple weeks ago. Mister bought him so more glasses. If his Dad thinks he has money to spend instead of paying his bills, he can buy his own medicine and glasses. If Mister stays DONE like he was yesterday, they are going to lose everything. And he’s been telling his Dad since he first found out that the mortgage payments were behind, that they are NOT coming over here if he fucks around and loses their house. He does really stupid stuff. Over the summer, on my day off work, Mister called me from work and asked me to go get his Dad from Xfinity. Brother had wrecked Mom’s car some months before and I guess they didn’t have insurance because it never got fixed or replaced. Well, I’m sure it was totaled, but it never got replaced. Then the parents had a wreck in Dad’s car and it had serious damage, and I thought he must’ve drove it anyway and it quit on him near Xfinity. Noooooo, when I picked him up, he said he’d taken an Uber to Xfinity, because he’d bought the latest IPhone from them the week before and had already broke the screen. He was going to just BUY THE SAME PHONE AGAIN! Fortunately, the lady at Xfinity was a good soul imo and said “sir, I can’t let you do that, take your phone to the Apple Store and get it fixed.” So that’s where he wanted me to take him, to the Apple store, and I did. That’s not what Mister told me, that’s what his Dad told me out of his own mouth, that he was going just buy another phone that cost over $1k, to replace the one he’d had less than a week and broke. All the things that are wrong in that last paragraph pretty much sums up how he makes horrible financial decisions.

My Dr. visit this morning….. Now he wants me to do a CT scan. They could’ve called me during the last 5 months and told me they were setting that up. That could’ve BEEN done. But whatever, I’ll do the CT scan, of course, but then what? Wait another 3 months to discuss the results and find out what’s next? I am SO disgusted. I asked,” in the meantime, what can I do about the pain? “ He said we just have to see what the CT scan results are. I told him that the kind of job I have, this is not something I can work through, and I’m missing so much work that I’m already in trouble with my job, and at the rate I’m going I might end up getting fired. He said “oh no, we don’t want that. That’s a good job”. Well HELP ME! I’ve been calling and calling your office, trying to get this addressed so I can either feel better or at least have some documentation for my job. When your nurse could be bothered to return my calls, I explained to her that I can’t work like this. I’ve gone to my PCP a few weeks ago, to see if she could recommend something until I got to my appointment today. My partner even called your office on my behalf (he said, yes, he remembers that!), I’m not sure what else I was supposed to do to other than go to the Doctor that’s supposed to be helping me with this, YOU, to try to get some relief or at least some documentation for my job that I’m having medical issues and not just being trifling. Nobody even returned my calls when I left messages trying to see what I needed to do about whatever other tests your nurse told my partner I needed to get done. He said he can’t give me any documentation for my job until he has a diagnosis and just kept talking about how they’ve been so booked up. I didn’t start cussing or yelling, but I was SO mad. Hopefully I can get the CT scan scheduled for the next couple of days. I’m thinking that when the results come back from that, if I don’t hear from him, I’m going to try to find another GI doctor and just have them get my records from this one. Does that sound like a bad plan? He asked if I’ve lost weight. Just a few pounds, my weight fluctuates. He pressed around my abdomen and asked if it hurt. No. He said, well, if you’d lost a lot of weight or your abdomen was tender to the touch, that would mean it’s something serious. WTF?! It is serious to ME, regardless, because it fucking hurts and I can’t do my fucking job, standing on my feet all day lifting and carrying heavy shit because of the pain and the fact that I spend half my damn day in the bathroom! I could probably deal with the nausea at work, but NOT the other stuff. And I just realized he didn’t say anything else about the tests his nurse told Mister I needed to have done, even though I brought it up. His nurse told Mister she didn’t advise going to the ER. I don’t want to go there anyway, because it’s cooties in the ER, and a million people, with all this crap going around. I'm sorry you got the run-around today AGAIN. I hope they can get a CT scheduled ASAP
