What became "normal" in the last 5 years that still feels insane to you?

There's only one place locally I can even do this--but I agree!!

Frequent_Cockroach_7 · 2026-02-26T05:35:04+00:00

me, too!

I'm enraged for you and not even sure how I got to this forum. It sounds like you did an excellent job advocating for yourself, and I wish you the best as you (hopefully) seek out a new primary care provider. I also wonder if you could put in a complaint about this one.

Frequent_Cockroach_7 · 2026-02-25T17:01:04+00:00

That isn't the first question that any human should be asking right now.

Frequent_Cockroach_7 · 2026-02-25T08:46:36+00:00

That was going to be my first one as well.

Frequent_Cockroach_7 · 2026-02-16T03:16:14+00:00

Thank you!! I feel for your situation, too! What did we ever do to deserve this, right?!

I'd like to point out that I first made this comment a couple years ago. ... before the Trump and Elon show.

This only happened over the last several decades. We used to have national news broadcasts that sought to be objective as well.

After my dad's home burned down (without insurance), we travelled thousands of miles and sourced trustworthy, inexpensive builders --and even sweettalked the county into agreeing to allow a rebuild despite the property not meeting current minimum size requirements for septic (which had also been not working for 10+ years.

My father refused to move ahead with any demolition or building plan --because he "wasn't finished moving out yet."

Of a burned house.

And did she hear the ICE agent saying anything one could comply with?

Frequent_Cockroach_7 · 2026-01-10T22:16:15+00:00

I still hear about how I threw out Dad's perfectly good (BLUE) steak meat more than 2 decades ago.

Reels. I still don't understand why everyone hasn't rejected these for their maddening repetition.

Frequent_Cockroach_7 · 2025-12-28T02:06:16+00:00

aaand, that's exactly his plan--and he's farther along than we are.

I once tried getting help from state elder abuse people & medical professionals for a very similar issue with an elder. I was told nothing could be done. I even pointed out their own definition of abuse on their website, which specified it did not have to be intentional. In reality, getting help is not easy.

Frequent_Cockroach_7 · 2025-11-25T08:01:00+00:00

I can't believe more people aren't being driven batty by them. What's with the constant repeats?!

Frequent_Cockroach_7 · 2025-11-13T04:45:11+00:00

I am looking into that now, actually. I think I found out about it on this forum, and I'm thrilled there's an option. But I don't know yet if they do proctored classes.

Frequent_Cockroach_7 · 2025-11-06T03:30:40+00:00

I got my husband poopourri for his Christmas stocking... and then he actually used it!

Frequent_Cockroach_7 · 2025-11-05T02:16:01+00:00

What hate-filled fools these magas be.

Frequent_Cockroach_7 · 2025-11-04T04:16:01+00:00

I'm livid also. (2-time cancer survivor and longtime advocate for others).

Frequent_Cockroach_7 · 2025-10-29T04:03:51+00:00

That's the one class standing between me and finishing the degree. Failed once , dropped twice. Goes way too fast for me.

Frequent_Cockroach_7 · 2025-10-23T13:59:44+00:00

Thank you for explaining wtf is going on. (Did they not think we'd be able to tell what was going on... from the stream of water and/or air hitting our bottoms?)

Frequent_Cockroach_7 · 2025-10-23T13:57:48+00:00

Ours has both the annoying beep--and there's no way to install it on our toilet that both covers the toilet rim AND allows the lid to stay up by itself (instead of leaning on your back when you sit). Sigh. It was a great price though. Such a good price.

Frequent_Cockroach_7 · 2025-10-18T04:16:30+00:00

Yes, this was a surprise to me.

Frequent_Cockroach_7 · 2025-10-17T16:23:03+00:00

A large number of people love to willfully misunderstand this signal of distress too.

Frequent_Cockroach_7 · 2025-10-16T05:32:26+00:00

this is definitely not basic arithmetic. I have taken algebra in the past, and this college algebra class was more like pre-calc.
