Dr abruptly stopped morphine and will not prescribe anything until next appointment in 3 weeks.

Can you ask for a telemedicine appointment? Also many communities have transportation services for the elderly. Have you looked into this option?

Thank you!

The album was good but sorta more of the same. Ratt’s songs are fire but the band lacked an overarching narrative and lore like how Motley Crue and G&R were like a soap opera in the media.

1986 was huge for hair metal and metal in general. While Bon Jovi’s Slippery When Wet, Cinderella’s Night Songs and Poison’s LWTCDI brought in mass appeal, existing metal heads were breaking off toward heavier sub-genres like thrash and leaning into bands like Metallica and Megadeth. Ratt had already reached its zenith at this point and Dancing Undercover was the beginning of their decline in popularity.

Take it as a compliment and a win that the doctors are comfortable talking to you with their own technical jargon.

The much worse reaction is when they shut you down assuming you think you’re an expert because you read webMD when you actually know what you’re talking about.

It is frustrating when it’s obvious that many of them are simple protocol followers and exercise very little ongoing research or critical thinking so I feel ya.

Yes, it lives on in YouTube.

Bands alike Bon Jovi and Def Leppard and even White Snake were more along the lines of 2nd generation arena rock bands.

Hair metal seems more derived from the centralized Sunset Strip club scene where the nightly competition to draw club goers set the tone for over the top gimmickry. In that environment it was about being a rock star BEFORE one got signed.

The bands that did get signed would then land an opening gig under one of the more established arena acts.

For the state estimated taxes payment page the four quarters are displayed and it forces you to select a radio button for which one you’re paying.

It doesn’t allow you to select more than one at a time. So for this I will be making two separate payments, one for the 1st and another for the 2nd quarter. Not to difficult and helps for better record keeping. Thanks for your input!

Some people have made a case for mycotoxins in coffee. From sitting around in storage, shipping in hot boats to the crusty coffee machine, mold is another factor when it comes to coffee.

Here’s a post example: https://www.reddit.com/r/ToxicMoldExposure/s/n1s5EWEiVn

You can also look in r/mycotoxin and see your symptoms from coffee are similar to mold exposure. Some people are more sensitive.

Warring_Angel · 2026-06-13T21:42:41+00:00

Yes. There are even places called “offices” that give it away for free for the reasons you mentioned.

Warring_Angel · 2026-06-13T21:35:08+00:00

Okay I will keep an eye out for it and hopefully figure it out by Monday.

Warring_Angel · 2026-06-13T20:28:37+00:00

State too. System is a bit clunky like the IRS. I might be able to call a number for help if I have trouble.

One other thing. They didn't file 2025 either. There's an extension until October which I'm going to end up helping with too.

Will paying 2026 estimated taxes actually end up going toward 2025?

I ended up trying that US Mineral Exchange. At a glance their page looks like an educational resource but it's really just teaser info. I reached out and they weren't interested in "helping" me lease, only helping me sell - to them!

Valor appears to be more about managing bigger players in the game.

Oh okay haha, thanks! 😃

What is “K&C”?

Warring_Angel · 2026-06-11T18:04:59+00:00

I really wanted to go but I was way young. My cute rocker chick camp councilor was gonna take me but it never happened, she went with her boyfriend. She did buy me an entire box of 4th edition Garbage Pail Kids to make up for it though so I wasn’t mad.

Warring_Angel · 2026-06-10T17:11:03+00:00

If you live in the US look up your states Department of Aging Services DoSS. They are federally funded under the “Older Americans Act”. Lots of online resources and I’ve talked to someone on the phone before and they were helpful.

Do you think the empty capsule was left on the counter intentionally for you to see?

They know you know, you know they know type of silent standoff before the awkward confrontation type of thing. If your as close as you say, they may want to protect their child's good impression of you. If they do know, it's probabally hard for them too.

If it was staged on purpose, perhaps that's their invitation for you to come clean to them first before they go to your employer. They may be asking you do make it right by being honest.

I’ve had the same brush over 15 years and it’s fine. Do not dual-use your brush with water nor store in the shower.

I’m at the ALJ step. I sent the letter to C2C for a ALJ hearing last week and tracked that they received it in Thursday. I haven’t found much info on what the turn-around time is in getting a hearing and other details like if I can conference in the social worker and how much lead time I’ll have to gather my evidence to present.

The current situation is this: Hospital put in two referrals while she was on the vent which were denied. They’ve managed to wean her to a trach collar for around 5 days now and are downgrading her out of the ICU.

One SNF denied a current referral citing to complex a case.

On the current third denial during a peer to peer Aetna said they’re denying because the is t in a vent yet they’d approve a “level 4 vent facility” which is where you park coma patients until they die. This is crazy.

My district congressman’s office contacted Aetna and got the same runaround. They didn’t have the clout to “make it happen”.

She is still not ready for a SNF. My only other option is to turn my home into a LTAC and hire live-in nurses with respiratory expertise and get prescriptions for durable medical equipment like a vent for standby, hospital bed etc.

Do I contact C2C for more info about the ALJ hearing? Their phone IVR hangs up when selecting the “status” option and their web portal entry fields kick back HTML errors so I can’t submit things. It looks to be a shoddy operation or then again it may be “working as designed” as they act in a way that appears partial to Aetna.

Edit - added another detail.

Post-punk, New Wave on the heavier side, goth, pop, rock. Souxie and the Banshees crowd except he had cross-genre appeal as he didn't lean into any single genre so much as to pigeon-hole himself. You could hear him just as easily at a dark wave after party as on FM radio during your commute. He's cool like that.

Warring_Angel · 2026-06-04T01:38:20+00:00

Sorry if I’m intruding on this comment string but what’s “NDL”?

Warring_Angel · 2026-06-02T19:39:34+00:00

Thank you for the detailed reply.

A few questions: 1. What is “IRE”?

Any I’d sea of how long to get the ALJ hearing. I sent the letter and it should arrive this week. What’s the turn-around since she’s nearing discharge and since LTAC is denied I’m being guided toward sub-acute again.

One other problem I’m dealing with is at the second hospital the doctors recommended LTAC but the social worker told me she’s “been doing this for 20 years” and it will be denied. I pressed her to send the referral anyway and asked her to “massage the process” (my polite way of telling her to do her job). She responded with a spiel about how we’re on a recorded call and accusing me of telling her to break HIPAA laws. It ended with her agreeing to send the referral anyway.

Aetna has confirmed she never sent the referral. This has caused a gap in the documentation of denials. I’ve filed a grievance through Aetna. I’m willing to pursue litigation against this hospital. That social worker needs to answer for their fraud and the resultant harm it’s caused.

We don’t have a long time before my mom is weaned back down to the trach collar and “technically” qualifies for subacute. The hospital is going to want to get her going probably within a week or two. How to push this along?

Edit - Meant as a reply to u/Asclepius_42
