The Small Rants Thread VIII: Now more bitchin' than ever.

[awaken_D_M_golem]

It's probate court so a relative must have passed.  Got a notice of it, a list of heirs (of which i am one), and a list of defendants (of which i am not), but nothing else info wise.

What are they gonna give you, the back door of an old house? 
And you have to pay $17 of the left over tax bill.

[bhu]

Apparentlythere's a possible 250 thousand dollars 

Minus 25% for fees

Minus taxes

Divided 50% among paternal and maternal heirs

Sub-divided by the number of heirs on each side.

Granted I'm in a lotta debt so I still won't get to keep it

[dman11235]

BUt!  it will help.

[bhu]

aaaand ive suddenly attracted debt collectors...

WTF, even when you catch a break people are still out for your ass!

Doubtful; human ass probably won't fetch much on the market.

You just need to know the right markets.  Would you like to make a deaaaal?

Why is it so godsbedamned hot in Santa Cruz? I'm on the pacific coast! I can see the ocean! It is october! It does not have to be this goddamn hot!

What the hell, California?!

Medicaid has been refusing to accept my Neurologists request for a brain MRI.  Not sure what I'll do if she can't convince them otherwise.

I haven't said much to anyone so as not to alarm them, because it could be nothing.  But I think Mom and company are beginning to realize something is up.

[Kuroimaken]

You know, trying to keep it from them will only make things worse if it turns out to be something and they find out before you tell them.

[bhu]

If I have what my neurologist suspects, the diseases progression is slow.  I have time.

[Kuroimaken]

That wasn't my point, actually.

Generally, people tend to get pissed if you try to keep stuff from them. And how pissed they get is directly proportional to how important it is.

If it turns out to be important, then it increases the feeling of helplessness if they couldn't be there for you even before they knew what it was. If it doesn't, then they'll still be pissed because they figure you couldn't trust them to be there for you at a critical time, regardless of what they could or could not have done.

In many ways, by trying to spare their feelings and spare them worry, you're kinda sending the message that you don't trust them not to freak out.

It's best to be honest, and it may even lead to you getting help - for example, in case your doctor can't convince Medicaid.

Just what I think, though.

  if you donate your brain to science, what happens to the scientist who then fiddles with your brain?

I've been having some odd problems lately, so my doc sent me to a neurologist who wants to rule out a few things I'd rather not have.  The MRI is necessary to help diagnose said problem.

Ah, okay.  I thought that there was something specific that I had simply missed.
Sorry, didn't mean to pry.

Well, I guess that means I'm screwed.

Fort save or turn in to a cat.

I've had docs want to do a test or two, and the Ins.Co. says NO for wtf stupid reasons.  Same with Meds.  It's annoying as all get out, to have a Doc say first lets check out X, before the non-Docs behind the scene say too bad they mentioned that.  I "wish" that docs could clear with Ins.Co. what would be appropriate treatment first, then get to present options to nervous as hell patient.

I figure docs could pull of this switch, by telling Every patient they get "I think you might have that new Syphilis going around, but idk if the Ins.Co. will or wont test it."

I can imagine my (long dead) Grandma saying:  "I musta got that syflus from the church bathroom, cause I ain't been no where else."

I am getting increasingly saddened and frustrated by people pushing me away in the most gratuitous, stupid ways over differing opinions, particularly on social networks such as Facebook.

It's hard enough for me to meet new people as it is. Whenever I do, I tend to embrace new friendships as best as I can. And with even my oldest friends kinda fading into the background, I'm feeling increasingly more lonely...

I feel your pain. I pushed everyone away because of my toxic relationship, and i'm now finding it hard to reaccustom myself with the bachelor way of life.
