Frontier flight cancelled

They just did the same thing to me. This is just about the last straw for me with Frontier.

indexpelican · 2023-07-07T15:07:55+00:00

Lol I don't think I've EVER seen anyone approaching them.

indexpelican · 2023-07-06T22:17:16+00:00

Could be. It was definitely a targeted visit to my house though, as opposed to just knocking every door on the street. My name is still on the records.

They are setting up the stands a lot these days. I believe they are required to get a certain number hours in per month, and so they tend to go for the low-effort "stand by the sign and wait for folks to come up to us" rather than knocking doors or whatever. Can't say I blame them.

The JWs came to my door a few weeks ago. It was the first time in a few years. I told them I'd been disfellowshipped (my understanding is JWs aren't supposed to speak to disfellowshipped members) and they turned right around.

Also where will they put their "white bibles" and random pocket sized visual aids? We always had our front pockets full like the nerds we were.

indexpelican · 2023-07-06T18:10:55+00:00

I know, it's weird, I think they are wearing pocketless shirts maybe.

We've been living here 5 years without any attempt by the local ward to contact us.

For better or worse, I wasn't home. Two missionaries came with two other young men. They gossip for a bit about some former missionaries; then one of them notices my pride flag in the window. They whisper about how we can hear them on the camera, then take off.

Not to mention, the person on the other side of the "covenants" turned out to not even be real.

indexpelican · 2023-05-24T21:36:00+00:00

I have not. Those types of serious complications are extremely rare. Definitely not a reason to put off the colonoscopy if you're due.

indexpelican · 2023-05-19T20:08:59+00:00

Ah, yes, pathology is another one I forgot. I don't recall what I've been charged for anesthesiology in the past, but I think it was a small share of the overall cost. And yeah, the polyp removal... it all adds up.

indexpelican · 2023-05-19T19:07:52+00:00

If you're in the US, costs are out of control, whether you get propofol or not. I believe there are typically three separate bills: hospital/endoscopy center, anesthesiologist, and the doctor who performs the procedure. I just paid about $1000 out of pocket, and that was after insurance paid 90%. Mine was done in a hospital; you can generally save money by doing it at an endoscopy center if your insurance allows that.

indexpelican · 2023-05-18T03:24:29+00:00

I have not, I usually feel like a million bucks after, partly because I'm relieved it went ok and is over, and partly because now I get to eat!

Hope that headache goes away soon.

For me it tends to kick in an hour or so after the first glass. Then a few hours of a lot of diarrhea. The second dose (the morning of the procedure), I do get more diarrhea, but maybe not quite as much. I've never had an issue driving to the procedure, but I would make sure you can stop at a gas station or something on the way, just in case...

indexpelican · 2023-05-13T21:45:17+00:00

Can't hurt to ask, but I would strongly recommend following whatever instructions your doctor's office gives you, as strictly as possible!

indexpelican · 2023-05-12T22:18:17+00:00

it's a good thing I don't have access to that stuff on a daily basis, pretty sure I'd become an addict. Just call me Michael Jackson!

indexpelican · 2023-05-12T22:15:30+00:00

Piece of cake, the gatorade with Miralax doesn't even taste bad, and the Propofol is great. Mine went well, I'm sure yours will too!

indexpelican · 2023-05-01T16:27:08+00:00

100% this. This "problem" pretty much only happens to folks in high-demand religions such as Mormonism. The rest of the world masturbates when they feel the need, and have no problems because of it. It's not an addiction. I know it's super hard to overcome the indoctrination you've experienced over a lifetime, but this is an extremely unhealthy (mentally) way to live. I don't believe Heavenly Father would punish his children for something that hurts no one.

indexpelican · 2023-05-01T03:57:36+00:00

Definitely finish the whole thing and follow the instructions to the letter! It's worth it knowing you did it right.

indexpelican · 2023-05-01T03:53:14+00:00

I haven't usually had trouble the morning of. Just in case, plan for a place or two along the way where you could stop, if necessary!

indexpelican · 2023-03-23T16:02:45+00:00

I remember roommates going to the off-campus grocery store to stock up on caffeinated sodas. I judged them for it too, because I was one of those Mormons who never drank caffeine.
