Payments / I am getting a bit....

« on: October 09, 2010, 04:46:42 pm »Message ID: 251358

Yup, even the most optimistic person can get tired of doing all the correct reguirements of such written rules...and still feel like you are getting stung by a bee....
Yes, I am the yippy skippy optimistic person, who always says to others...leave it behind you and move forward...use your energy for what the Baseball Team named "Future" holds for you...yadda...yadda do...
I was recently told....I have TBI
For the non-medical readers..this means Traumatic Brain Issues.
My reply.."oh yes, I have known this for years...but so many neurologist call it "stress" dementia" (especially if you are female)...
I have to laugh, ( ho ho) while they (MD) write prescriptions for seizures  because some study and the FDA decided that seizure medicines can "possibly"  help you in other ways.
OK..my point..."Patients" beware....  Bring a medical advocate (the best) or at the very least "insist" the doctor write in "his" own" writing...what he/she just spit out to you in medical language. It might be OK if you are in the health field or respectfully speak latin and greek
Please do not get intimitated....you are a human being who "deserves" attention, respect and your dignity remains high...
To any doctor who might read this...I am not putting you down...I understand all your troubles with the insurances...But your patients are scarred, intimated by your high intelligence.  God Bless most of you...
it takes a few bad apples to make most of you look bad.  My intend, let us all be on the same medical page! Amen/God Bless.."Samaled"

Off-Topic / Your Dignity...

Has anyone noticed their dignity being misused? Or have you seen people mistreat an elderly person or a child? Dignity, manners...Where have they gone?  Somewhere my friends... But not "everyone"...We are the adult statues formed like a ball of clay from birth..  As we get older the clay hardens to a fine piece of art for most...others needed some pieces of clay removed which ruined their lives. 
Help the youth...Please, Thank-you, your welcome, how can I help you, free some time up for a charity....
money, money, money, money is a song which pulls my chain...we are rich in heart and good friends.
Gossip, Oh no, please.....keep your nasty opinion to yourselves, thank-you:)
Amen to all

Suggestions / Too may of the same offers posted from other surveyheads, etc

« on: September 09, 2010, 05:30:19 am »Message ID: 234315

 ???We all need to make a few extra dollars, especially those who are on disability and are really liminted to what they receive and what they can earn.  The Governement offers to the disabled a Ticket To Work Plan. I don't know if it is legal to explain it on a public discussion board, so I will leave it at that.
I noticesd FC has a few ads on their main page to join,  including their own websiteoffers. You first select who appeals to you. Answer several questions about yourself and supposedly get lead to a survey or other offer.  I am skipping lightly because I do not know the legalities of mentioning specific names of the vendors.
After spending time on answering about twnety questions or more...They will either choose you to take the survery or not,  but half way through the survey they can reject you, by stating you ae not what they were looking for to complete their survey. This is after you have spent time, without getting any type of pay for the time you spent working for them.
I will agree, I made the choice to try these surveyheads, but didn't realize, how may technical difficulties would occur day in and day out, with the same companies.
Has anyone else run into this issue/concept?  Most come with a front page and different names, once you are signed in, up pops all the identical ads offering the same identical offers to make a few cents.
I would value anyones opinion on this topic.  I am looking to make money fair and square for a decent wage and find it very negative advertising for those people who use these are trying to beleive these are honest people.   Thank you for your thoughts, opinions and anything else you offer.  Samaled

Support / Take Time and Smell The Roses/Autumn Leaves

« on: September 06, 2010, 04:45:25 pm »Message ID: 233246

  Happy Labor Day.  i fianlly took the time to go out and smell the roses and see the leaves turn.   Then came in and barely listened to the greying haired President speak.  What a job!  He isn't as fluent as he was on the campaign trail and the job is aging him. Plus his words were not flowing...like they use to be..i qote..He starts :let me tell you/ya' something" then goes on to parly with words.
I give him credit for trying...but I wanted more credit given to those who have spent years defending us and our country. 
This is when, I decided to go out and mentally smell the roses and physically watch the air change, the quiet town, ready for the hustle and bustle of school age children.  Wondering have we given them  "our" time to smell the roses together!:)

Offers / Respect and Dignty for the Eldderly

« on: August 31, 2010, 05:59:47 am »Message ID: 229532

  I have spent the last several years wondering why the aging community is  thought of not having minds and the ability to think for themselves!
Yes, it is OK to have someone help you understand what a doctor is saying.  My sadness is thee MD's stare into the advocate eyes and forget the patient they are discussing to you is sitting in the chair. 
My beleif is it is ok to assist the elderly, but give them dignity and respect.  Look into their eyes, speak diredtly to them.  An advocate is a "listner" take needed notes, but they are not the patient.  This patient is respectfully due the right for eye contact and explanation about their health.
I guess this has gotten to me over my 40 years of healthcare.  I constantly find the physicians talking to whomever is around the patient (remember, patient rights is the law unless the patient allows an advocate) If you are an advocate, please do not be afraid to respectfully inform the MD, him or her the patient brought ou for ears not eyes.  They deserve dignity and respect, especially at time when they are losing dear loved ones.  The only thing they have to hold onto to is their well due respect and dignity from us all! Thanks
