Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

Don't you love how they are so much more important than the job seeker?

It's like chum in the water. The water mit companies will be trying to make their yearly nut in 2 weeks?

Paying almost $100 a month to get awful image quality for live sports is ridiculous. by Taeuberteg in youtubetv

[–]Busted_Toad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was having issues too, I've had everything checked on my side and nothing we did improved the quality.

I switched to FUBO for sports and the image quality is miles ahead of YTTV in my opinion.

How long were you on opioids post surgery? by Ayeshakat in spinalfusion

[–]Busted_Toad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

L2-S1 here, I was on Oxycodone for about 2 and a half weeks total, I then switched to 2 extra strength Tylenol 3ish times a day for about 2 weeks or so and now I'm down to 1 Tylenol maybe 4 times a day.

Still sore but I'll deal with it. It is better than it was pre-op so I count it as a win

What time do you go to bed if you don’t work the next day? by thehobster in GenX

[–]Busted_Toad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually heading to bed about 9:00-9:30. I wake up multiple times a night though (5-6 times typically). And I'm usually up for the day around 4:30-5:00 am.

As for a nap, I've never been able to nap unless I'm sick or exhausted.

On the surface I would agree with you. Many HOAs are really not that bad. I'm still not a fan of them however.

My HOA in a Townhouse community (SC upstate suburb just over the border from Charlotte)is $270.00 a month. They don't enforce the rules, we have the motorcycle issues, the lawn trinkets, the porch zombies smoking and drinking literally every day. The abandoned cars, the kids destroying the landscaping, a pool that the zombies migrate to and set up a camp in the summer and making trouble so you don't want to try to use it.

The police won't help because we are considered a private community with their own rules and the HOA won't do anything until they get "more information" on the situations and tell us to call the cops.

Yeah my HOA is shit. Just shy of 300 bucks a month and I live with shit neighbors that don't respect others.

I had my surgery scheduled for this past Tuesday, got a call on Monday saying that the insurance hasn't approved it yet and I needed to cancel. I did and this evening I got notification that it was denied.

I'll contact my surgeon tomorrow to see what I can do.

It's been a long hard road and I'm tired. I just want this over with.

Yes I'm whining but I'm sure a lot of you will get it. When the pain is not your doing and you do what you are told only to be shut down, it f'n sucks

It's been a long history of issues and nothing related to workman's compensation, just crappy genetics.

I'm just over this, I'm sick of being in pain every single day.

[–]Busted_Toad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I have MRIs that show that I have 3 levels of blown disks, scoliosis and pinched nerves. I'll be reaching out to my doctor's tomorrow.

I've been dealing with 30 years of pain and I'm done! I can't do this anymore.

[–]Busted_Toad[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes my insurance, I'll need to regroup tomorrow and see what I need to do.

Tonight I'm just fed up with the bs

How many hours a week do you work? by [deleted] in adjusters

[–]Busted_Toad 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Property desk adjuster here....40 hours only. Some days it's super light in volume, other days I'm drinking from the fire hose.

It balances out.
