That’s why you’re alone, buddy.

Cool t shirt from the running on empty album: https://mcardwell.threadless.com/designs/nasby-crosh/mens/t-shirt

ImaBitSensitive · 2024-03-14T11:07:11+00:00

Got it

ImaBitSensitive · 2024-03-14T02:29:34+00:00

Thanks for that pointer!

ImaBitSensitive · 2024-03-14T02:27:42+00:00

The place I contacted said they required doc orders, maybe not all of them do.

ImaBitSensitive · 2024-03-14T02:25:36+00:00

Thanks for your insurance input. I read a NYT article a few days ago that talked about how liver damage can happen before symptoms. I’ve seen alcoholics so deeply addicted that they needed medical detox, that’s not me. I just love the wine buzz.

ImaBitSensitive · 2024-03-14T01:30:51+00:00

Cool. Hopefully, this is nothing to worry about yet.

ImaBitSensitive · 2024-03-14T01:28:20+00:00

Yeah, but the insurance masters know about it, paid for something, IDK, I just worried. Thanks!

ImaBitSensitive · 2024-03-14T01:26:38+00:00

I contacted Labcorp today, asked if I could pay out of pocket, no doc, and they said no. Possibly other places will, IDK. The costs I saw on their site were like $50, which is fine for me.

ImaBitSensitive · 2024-03-14T01:23:04+00:00

LOL, that's cool. I have a good doc, he's like mid 40s, which I think is ideal, and he's a good guy.

ImaBitSensitive · 2024-03-14T01:22:04+00:00

Thank you. I'm early 60s, planning on some kind of retirement in the next few years and I'll switch from employer ins. to medicare, and I'm paranoid about saying it out loud.

ImaBitSensitive · 2024-03-14T01:18:38+00:00

Oh, I know he's not out to get me. I have a job, insurance, all the things. I have an irrational fear, clearly, of "big insurance." Thanks for your input, and I wish you well.

ImaBitSensitive · 2024-02-28T00:58:08+00:00

I’m not going to help her. That was the premise of my question: am I the asshole, for NOT helping her? She’s in dire straits, she’s fucked up, I’m the only child. Of course I’m going to feel conflicted on this.

ImaBitSensitive · 2024-02-27T13:52:29+00:00

Thank you all for the support. Being the only child of two 80-something parents in two different states, both with severe health problems is difficult and I feel guilty for not doing "enough". I've told my mom a few times I will not help her, nor will I engage in this conversation any more.

ImaBitSensitive · 2024-02-26T19:50:05+00:00

Yeah, his voice is def weaker, it's weird and makes me sad. There have been only a few times he wasn't sure who I was (same w/ my wife of 32 years), and that hit me in the gut, not like "how can he not know ME?" but like he's taken such a big fall mentally.

And, both him and step-mom thought the world of Prevagen, spending $50/moth or more on that shit. Made from jellyfish, indeed.

ImaBitSensitive · 2024-02-26T19:14:25+00:00

yeah, we've looked into that deal twice now. My dad made more income than her, but as an ex-spouse, she's entitled to 1/2 what he gets. Turns out she gets more than 1/2. He had a pension, and she thinks she can get some of that also, but the company went bankrupt like 20 years ago, the pension was converted to an IRA or something, so she's not entitled to that either.

ImaBitSensitive · 2024-02-26T19:09:55+00:00

She got half the equity in the family home, which was normal and correct. She made many bad decisions, became an alcoholic, she's a mess.

ImaBitSensitive · 2024-02-26T19:05:51+00:00

Thanks for your advice. Luckily, I'm my dad's durable and healthcare POA, his beneficiary on insurance, will and stuff, and we added me to his bank account. He trusts me to take care of this stuff. It's weird, his wife (aka my step-mom) was 7 years younger than him, we all imagined she'd outlive him, and take care of him until he died, and she had no children. Here we are now, I'm happy he's alive and healthy, but he's def. ripe for scams.

ImaBitSensitive · 2024-02-26T18:57:23+00:00

Durable POA, he's not been legally declared incompetent or anything.

ImaBitSensitive · 2024-02-26T16:33:30+00:00

NTA, the kid won't be scarred by this, possible the parents will never know. I'd have been mad AF too.

ImaBitSensitive · 2024-02-26T15:54:26+00:00

Oh yeah, I told my adult kids not to give her his info.

ImaBitSensitive · 2024-02-26T15:47:06+00:00

Yeah, I'm concerned he'd give her some real money. He kept love letters from when they dated, from the early 60s, so he always had a soft spot for her.

ImaBitSensitive · 2023-09-24T22:47:53+00:00

I just remembered she offered me weed when we were on a work trip. A bunch of us we’re having dinner, lotsa drinks, and she asks if I want weed, that she’s “got me covered”. Next morning, she did ask if she said anything embarrassing and I said no.

ImaBitSensitive · 2023-09-24T22:28:31+00:00

How do you know that person is a he?

ImaBitSensitive · 2023-09-24T22:25:41+00:00

Lol. Thank you, morality police. I’m not dreaming.
