    Friday 13 here but the day is absolutely bland so far, even the city traffic sounds muffled under a thick grey blanket of foggy stuff :lol:

    Complaint: I really hate doctors who don't listen to you

    *hugs* Hopes you can find a way through all this scary unpleasant stuff to some comfort and peace :)

    I'm not looking forward to more needles in my back. I spent 4 solid years of it before the surgery. I've had 3 series of epidurals (9 shots), a nucleoplasty where they suck out hte fluid in your disc space , and a radio frequency where they kill the nerve off that lasts for 6 months to a year. None of it helped cause I still had the herniated disc and degenerative disc and now arthritis and permanent nerve damage

    Complaint:
    I wasted much of the last 24 hours on a phishing email from an insurance company I don't use, telling me they had stopped my direct payments, giving me a link, and a "Customer Service" phone # to call. I didn't do either. Gee, you pass 60 and everybody assumes you're senile. >:-(

    What I did do was call my company's Retiree Benefit Services to make sure no unannounced changes had been made to our health insurance plan (Nope).
    Then I called my Health Insurance provider to check on my status (active member, billing due to occur on the correct date, no stoppage).
    Then I called my bank which asked me to forward them the email so they could inform the proper authorities.

    For the fun of it, before I deleted the email I googled the Customer Service number and got hits on 2 pages of websites, none in English. Hmmmm...

    Now I got a lot of pent-up anger, without even a target...

    I hate you, stupid unscrupulous people I don't know!!!!

    Microsoft rang up last night complaining my computer had problems that wuz breaking teh internet. Put the person on hold and he waited for 15 minutes before hanging up, the record so far :lol: :lol:

    (sob) You are my new hero!

    Well Ps1borg here in my part of the woods they often run trains both ways on tracks so your setup I did not look at twice. They use side switch lines and keep the trains on a very tight schedule. This side track thing is common here in the US Deep south.

    Told the doctor one of the problems I was having and she told me no I wasn't

    I think maybe it's time for a new doctor. How can a doctor be effective if they don't believe you're experiencing the symptoms you're experiencing?

    This was my first appointment with this Pain Clinic doctor. Needless to say I wasn't impressed. Sadly the other place that does pain management isn't any better. I went to there for 4 years before my surgery.this seems to be endemic amongst 'pain management' personnel! My sister has run into the same a number of times now (incompetence mixed with extreme arrogance). I keep getting the quacks that tell me my current meds can not possibly be handling my pain as well as they would like it. Here let me change your script for you. What part of I'm okay on what I'm on and prefer to not be all drugged out any more than I am is so hard to understand?

    Two trains hurtling down the same line toward each other by design sounds like a quite hair raising stressful time keeping kinda thing :lol: They going to use driverless trains on our Metro like they do on outback lines, whoa a driverless train sounds like the same kind of time critical nightmare :lol:

    Actually, it's a fairly slow and careful process. One train goes onto the side-rails, coming to a full stop. After as much as 30 minutes later, the second train passes by on the main track, at a reduced speed for extra safety. I see it happen every day as the tracks are across the road from my local haunt (Hardee's).

    Of course, that's assuming it isn't the occasional Crazy Train (I...I...I...). :)

    ...here we call that a "runaway locomotive".

    Even the computer controlled BART in San Francisco still has an operator in the cab to monitor systems and handle situations should something go amiss.

    They had personal rapid transit prototypes 30 years ago with computer-controlled cars going 60 mph with 1/4 inch clearances.
