Intermission to B

solid black squareWhat I was planning on doing right now was to write a post about our trip to Nevada and Brandon’s Graduation. What I am doing is having to go outside and try and stop the kids from throwing rocks at my truck. I can not move the truck from the carport onto the street in front of our place because the adults that should be watching their kids or perhaps – hark – stop them from damaging others property have solved their problem by moving their vehicles in front of our place – nice.

These folks would be a great group for a sociological study on ghetto mentality. Find a tree? Pull all the branches off it. See a flower? Yank it off the plant and toss it. They are like vegetative eating ants – nothing green must be left behind.

See a shiny car? Make sure you bomb it with cherries yanked from the trees. Or better yet toss dirt clods all over it. No respect for anyone’s property. No respect period.

I think we are getting to the bite the bullet point here. Why pay the bills when we can just bail? LOL don’t worry we so do not have this mentality because we were raised with a moral code and taught to be responsible, respectful, and honest. Our new electric meter says we are using three times the juice we have for over 28 years, we invested in a new central heating and air system so I could be cool and warm now we can not afford to run it! The utility companies response? you should be happy that you got away with a slow meter all those years.

Must be nice to never have worked a day in you life and have your rent, food, and beer paid for by tax dollars. The cut off for food stamp and housing help is set just above what welfare recipients get so if you worked SSD (in most cases) pays too much so you do not qualify where as those receiving SSI most certainly always do. Go figure.

While politicians talk about cutting money from programs that folks paid into all their working days to balance the budget I have yet hear any talk of cutting payments to the lazy good for nothing leaches of society.

Now they have cut our police budget down so far we are loosing more police and they have let us know we are pretty much on our own. So they get to blast their music, damage our stuff, shoot of their bullets, rob us, party hearty and their truly is no one to stop them.

History repeats itself – the Fall Of Rome comes to mind.

Ok hopefully I am done B’ing for now.

Ranting On

It has been a very bloody weekend here in the Sacramento area. It is really easy for some folks to view the news blips and come up with a simple or denial based explanation. Well of course if you choose to live in such a crappy area what do you expect or hey if those folks had just done such and such ( meaning not the right thing like them) the list goes on and on I bet.  How do you explain it away?

It has started irritating the heck out of me watching, reading, bombarded by concern for the poor people living in (fill in any country) while we have so many problems in our own. I am getting cynical – why get all worked up over other political strife of another Nation and not your own?  I have yet to see any of them worried about my state of affairs. Sorry about your troubles over there. I do get that the world is changing but I am not sure the hope many see is reality. I know it is not my reality. While you bleed your heart for them remember some of them want to kill us.

I feel like I have gotten screwed for doing the right thing too many times.  Did we go buy a house in a safe neighborhood and get out of here soon enough? No, we chose NOT to over extend ourselves with a mortgage in a market that was over inflated.  Reward for trying to be prudent – we are stuck in hell in one of the cities ” hot spots” where it is never quite, someone is always screaming, fighting, shooting, surrounded by terrorists. While the folks who did make the wrong financial choice are rewarded with 1% loan bailouts etc.  Go figure.

Why are the first suggested budget cuts always the elderly and the disabled? Why not cut welfare for those who have never worked a day in their life?  Social Security Disability and Social Security were a contract I thought like insurance the gov’t takes it out of your check and this was suppose to cover us if we got sick  or injured and could no longer work or so when we were old and unable . … oh hail to the mighty who have never ever worked and are third generation of welfare God forbid cuts there! So much for a temporary help for single moms . …

I would insert a video here of what went on around here last night but it is obvious where the camera was and I so do not need any more lip or bullet service from the terrorists around here.  Read we are afraid. No not afraid of what you might do to me but a fear that you have turned me into you.

The Evil Empire Strikes Again

If I could say something to KRP’s employer it would be a nastier version of you are ass hats!

We pay for health insurance – I am suppose to go have some lab tests done for kidney function, thyroid, liver . .. etc. BUT the “Evil Empire” decided for no particular reason to CANCEL my coverage!! Yes you read that right – several calls to their human resource center have resulted in no Joy. They will get it straightened out soon. ( I think they have 48 working hours to do so). Since it is their mistake not ours.

Do they give a rats ass that I have MS? Nope. Do they give a rats ass that I need my coverage? AUGH F’ing jerks. The lack of concern relayed via phone calls is amazing.

No reason for the boo boo, we found out only because Kaiser sent me a letter telling me I have been canceled as of the end of the year? Good thing I did not go in today for the test and decided to go in on Monday cause it would be less of a wait at the labs. LOL now that would have been embarrassing no?

Silly me thinking having the medical deducted for all these years meant that you like had medical coverage until you requested to drop it? These jerks have done so many things that are so wrong in so many ways . … I hate them – yes I do. But KRP has four more years till she can retire . … f f f f uck.

Hope they get it staightened out fast. Plus since this last pay stub shows they did not take the deduction for my coverage out it will probably take for ever to get that part fixed right too. Standard operating procedures for the Evil Empire also mean they will take the amount that was not taken out (why should they I could not use it for that period?) and then they will take out what they should BUT the next check they will probably once again take it out twice.

While ranting – KRP and I each have prescriptions for neurontin.  Everytime one of us tries to refill our prescription the Evil Empires computer refused to do so – the pharmacist can not override this, the company takes two weeks to over ride it, meanwhile whomevers prescription it is can not get it refilled. Nor are you allowed to fill it early. Evil Empire’s system is set up such that it is to stupid to figure out that two prescriptions with different numbers, two different people with two different names and birth-dates are not one person since the main policy for drug coverage is under one name.

OINK

fluWell ignoring all the steps my paranoid mind set in play for me the freaking H1R1 exposure has arrived. That really bites, it makes me nervous.

I suspected that it would, I was just hoping that it would not happen until I had the chance to get the shot . …

When employers have sick policies that encourage employees to not call in sick it is rather obvious that eventually someone will spread their germs to other employees and customers no?

I think it sucks. My sig other worked with someone who up until yesterday when they and their family were hospitalized with the Swine Flu – oh yippee!! Go figure if you call in sick with or without a Drs note you get a point – three points and your out! So wonder why someone would show up sick eh? I am not sure whether this person knew they were sick but I suspect so.

Ok I am pissed about the above fore-mentioned. But I am more freaked out that we may get sick. Well Shit. I am not so sure I would fair to well if I do. Thank goodness we have not been around my parents or any other not in so great heath friends this week. Just so you know this all goes with the regular flu or a bad cold also.

I used a lot of anti germ spray today while freaked out ha ha …   now is this head ache and nose run because of the new cedar dog bed downstairs or ? See I am freaking like I said.

The CDC recomendations:

  • Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Germs spread this way.
  • Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
  • If you are sick with flu-like illness, CDC recommends that you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone except to get medical care or for other necessities. (Your fever should be gone without the use of a fever-reducing medicine.)
  • While sick, limit contact with others as much as possible to keep from infecting them.

So, all you sick ass peeps who come to work and the company policies that favor your inconsideration – I have a long list of words that I can not type here because I want to keep my safe for all readers rating.   Hope the extra day worth of pay was worth it.

Ok – I am done ranting for now LOL
