Nothing feels better, and honestly, nothing will. Nobody’s being straight with me. They just keep bouncing me from one specialist to another for no reason. Now they’re sending me to some private clinic to redo tests I already finished at the exact same facility! And you know what? I didn't even find out until I saw my discharge papers days later.
So now they want me back for an angiography and an MRI—stuff I already cleared through them without a single issue.
Guess who's back! Same topic, same surgery all over again.🙄
Everything was identical to last time, just part of the standard routine—basically on demand from the clinic itself. Still, they didn't even run a CT scan for me,
And when it came time to leave, all I got was this brief, vague discharge summary claiming some supposed "improvement" in my condition.🤷
The doctor kept my old medical history, supposedly so he’d have everything handy in one single (final?) file.😕
Mind you, the tech has improved a little bit. Instead of that mess before, they just put a patch over the injection site in my groin, so there's barely any bruising. Last time, they used one of those heavy sandbags that I couldn't keep from sliding off, leaving me with massive bruises the size of a man's palm!
I was only there for three days, but it felt like an eternity. I actually had to take pills just to sleep. Which ones? I asked. Ambien. I have them at home, but I don't like taking them because you can get hooked. Oh well, though—second night back home and I slept like a baby.😁 In the end, it's like: Where were you? Nowhere. What did you do? Nothing.😢
But hey, the main thing is I left them alive and apparently "healthier."👎
It cracked me up thinking about that Secretary of Health and his little self-congratulatory speech about how much money they're saving in hospitals. You can take a wild guess where those "savings" are actually coming from. My bet? Staff wages and the ratio of nurses to patients. Thanks a lot, buddy.😠
He wasn't exactly rolling in it, so there was nothing left for his sons, and his wife ended up without a pension since he never even had a steady paycheck.
Sure, he lived fine while he was around, but he didn't give a damn about the people depending on him. He put all his faith in the Party and the government, and both went belly up. Clearly, he was terrible with math.
I honestly feel like someone's out to get rowdyhawk10 for some other reason entirely. If anyone actually deserves a moderator spot on this site... it’s definitely rowdyhawk10. He's one of those rare guys who hasn't just skimmed the Bible and the Quran, but actually studied them. He knows his stuff.👍
Plus, he actually follows the forum rules, even though he wasn't the one who wrote them.😉😁
Alright, but he didn't say what happened with his colleague? Is it some kind of journalistic clique thing? That’s my first thought. Back then, people used to group me in just because I stayed a bit more informed than most. Man, how did we used to say it? I was totally in the loop! It was because there was so much stuff I wanted to know that you just couldn't find anywhere else. I used to dig through all kinds of magazines on this and that side. We had this super informative start and today
Nowadays, those kinds of mags are basically extinct—and honestly, maybe they aren't even needed anymore... you know, democracy and all that jazz.
today is just nothing compared to how back then, it was the only outlet in the entire US actually writing critically about everything. Seriously... compared to the rest of the press, it was just on another level when it came to being open to different perspectives.
shadowbison15 said:I’m with you, slyviper47. Back in "those days," everyone seemed to have a soft spot for the Russians—it wasn't just limited to Mexicans. By the way, has she actually read "The Moscow Years"? Hmm... I have to wonder... is she a colleague?
1. Not totally sure, maybe the Communists, but not really the average person.
2. Sadly, no, but I’ve seen it mentioned in some magazines.
Colleague???? What do you mean by that? We aren't even colleagues! At least, I don't think you're retired yet. I've been out of the game for ages.
Generally speaking, I've always been a huge reader whenever I could get the chance. Sadly, Moscow Years wasn't available when it was actually relevant, and then I just forgot all about it. Now, everything just wears me out, so I just write down whatever bits and pieces I can remember. And yeah, I forget things! For some reason, I remembered the Ambassador's name, but the book title totally slipped my mind. Thanks for the reminder!👍
That whole "brotherly love" thing was never a two-way street.
Basically, Russia has always just looked out for itself. As for love in politics... honestly, only weaklings and small-timers babble about that stuff.
I do remember something from back in the day, though. An old statesman from the former America wrote in his memoirs how his Russian host once asked him if he was Orthodox. He was totally shocked that the guy didn't ask if he was a Communist first, but instead focused on religion. What can you say when even Stalin graduated from an Orthodox monastery school?😲
Back when I had my baby in the old 60s... the community nurse actually did an exam and even checked the scent! Seriously, if there’s no smell, it could be dangerous because things might be stuck inside the uterus. And let me tell you... I actually passed some placenta fragments while I was peeing later on!!
Anyway, a Pap smear isn't related to childbirth... any gynecologist should be running those tests periodically. It's basically the gold standard for checking if your reproductive health is on track.
northernbison63 said:Every country has its share of idiots, including Israel. I mean, are they actually ethnic Jews, or just "opportunists" who flocked there because Israel's immigration policies are a breeze compared to Russia? Honestly, it doesn't even matter. If nothing else, this proves Israel isn't any different from most European nations—despite all that unique history they have in Israel dating back to 1948. It might seem totally absurd to us, but in most places, this kind of thing is just a "normal occurrence." I mean, wasn't it just a few months ago that the Italian president went on TV and called us "bloodthirsty Slavic barbarians"? So, where's the actual difference between Italy and Israel?
What really gets under my skin, though, are those handful of lunatics who were out there openly pushing Nazi ideas in Miami like a year or six months ago. I think one of them ended up behind bars, but after that, the media just completely dropped it.
👍 Huge props to you!
That’s really all Israelis want. To just be a normal country like everyone else.
I’ve been trying to explain this to our local anti-Zionists for years... Israel isn't some monster compared to all those other nations nobody even questions.
As long as there are so-called Muslim states out there denying Israel exists, I’m gonna stay Zionist. I don't have to be a Jew to feel that way... but hey, if people see me that way, fine by me. I don't care what anyone thinks as long as they keep attacking Jews. They're recognized by the UN, and obviously, everyone wants them to survive. And I'm rooting for them! As long as people keep coming for Jews everywhere, I'm in!
rowdyhawk10 said:Right.. I just adore him—Hitler, Maddox, Pavelić, Osama bin Laden.. I simply couldn't exist without all of them. 🙂
I don't see myself that way. But, if that's how you perceive me, then so be it. I suppose you're entitled to your opinion. You have every right to view us all as being the same. You also have the right to claim that Islamic intolerance is the sole issue with this forum. That is entirely your prerogative. 🙂
Actually, Muslim nations are filled with such prisons, and we aren't just talking about a few adolescents, but thousands of young people... though perhaps that doesn't suit your narrative, so it might be better if I don't mention it, lest I offend you.
Regarding the Zionist state, the whole thing seems like a farce to me; on one hand, they arrest a couple of kid Nazis, while on the other, the entire state is built on Nazi foundations.. the military, the police.. even the government itself. (A number of rabbis and Jewish philosophers confirmed this at a recent conference on the Holocaust in Iran).
My dear Simon, you would only need a tiny bit of hearing and sight to notice the behavior of the Jewish Nazis on this forum (people like Umpe, Collins, Ramb, and those types). You clearly lack even that small amount, though I suppose you compensate for it by paying such special attention to "us providers."
Did you not watch the video above? 🙄
What am I supposed to do?😍
1. Jews don't just give things away for free, which actually makes them more likable in my book!
3. I rarely click on any links, let alone videos! Period!
lonecrane6 said:The biggest tragedy is most of these walls aren't even Semitic, they belong to some other people. One Semitic Jew (if that's even the right way to say it) gets a ticket to heaven while ten non-Semitic walls get through.
"If only America and Marshall were still around... we had bread and money back then... or so my old man tells me" 😁give me a break. It's easy to talk tough now that everything is "free" and "democratic" and we can just ramble nonsense on a forum. But I wonder why nobody said a word against those "neo-Nazis" or "extremists" during the actual war. Probably because they were protecting their own asses back then. Like that poet Thompson says... the mice have come out of their holes... why didn't anyone speak up against Vrana when he was alive, but now that he's dead... yeah... I'll stop there. You get the message.
Clearly you weren't living in the States back then. Otherwise, you would've felt Vrana's version of "American democracy" firsthand.😍
Maybe you were just a kid... the whole world saw those massive protests down at Times Square. Not to mention the annual rallies held at the renamed plaza for Europe Day.
Or remember when Vrana stood up at Times Square to address the youth and asked what else he could give back to them? Then he just yells: Go Yankees!!!!!!😬
Those extremists only brought us trouble... Vrana invited them, so they could have just walked away with him! And we definitely didn't need their symbols to defend ourselves. We had our own... officially passed by Congress and embraced by every single American citizen! They're part of our DNA. That's the bottom line. We never needed anyone else's stuff!
dustyranger4 said:It’s a predictable pattern, really. Take German Jews, for example—they never truly fully assimilated with the broader Jewish community; there was always this lingering sense of being superior to the rest. But at the end of the day, much like Berezovsky, their underlying objective remains identical. What’s particularly fascinating here is the sheer hypocrisy of it all—we're fed this constant "multiculturalism" narrative through their media outlets, yet if you actually look at life in Israel, the atmosphere feels incredibly claustrophobic. And don't even get me started on the situation regarding gay tolerance and those other isolated incidents.
Aha, and you're an expert on that from personal experience, huh?😕
The whole point is they actually arrested their own neo-Nazis! It's wild because they basically handed out Israeli citizenship to everyone without any real criteria—other than having Jewish heritage.
I mean... the US did something similar with its own laws... and it really bit us in the ass when all these far-right extremists from random places like Canada or Australia suddenly showed up here calling themselves patriots.
Nobody really gave a damn about it, maybe except for Israel, but even then it was for totally different reasons—like their specific laws on divorce and stuff.
There was actually this one Israeli documentary about it all...
Jewish youths identifying with the very people trying to wipe them out? Neo-Nazi group arrested - targeting Jews
Israeli police just busted a gang of neo-Nazis, mostly kids between 17 and 19, who were attacking foreigners, the LGBTQ+ community, addicts, and anyone they labeled "other," including Jews and religious groups.
Israel is really feeling the consequences of handing out citizenship way too easily to people of Russian descent. Sure, getting out of Russia was tough back then, but man, it turns out Russians have a hard time integrating anywhere... even Germany is dealing with them right now. The real issue is this identity crisis everyone's having. They were raised under the Soviet mindset, so now neither Russia nor anyone else really claims them. But let's face it: their mentality is Russian through and through, and they tend to cluster together based on those roots wherever they go! I'm hearing the same thing in Israel—they've got their own specific way of doing things. It's wild; they actually have the nerve to pull stuff in Western Europe that they’d never dream of attempting back in Russia!
Betty Gray said:Step one: California printed its own passport Is this radical separatist core rushing things? While the US government is fighting tooth and nail in diplomatic circles over Mexico and Metohija, are they trying to lay the groundwork for yet another independent state in the north?
CHICAGO - Separatist groups in California have reportedly used an undisclosed printing press to produce passports for a sovereign California. Within their tight-knit inner circles, there is a firm belief that they have total support for this move.
The New York Times is asking if this fringe group is moving too fast—trying to build the foundation for a new nation in northern territory just as the US is preoccupied with high-stakes diplomacy regarding Mexico and Metohija.
The New York Times has obtained a copy of the passport, which is currently being distributed in secret across California as a way to test the waters with a "public" document.
It is expected that this "passport pamphlet" will serve as a psychological tool during upcoming local elections, acting as a litmus test for how much the Californian population actually supports breaking away from the US.
"A passport featuring a new coat of arms and official markings is a loud and clear signal from the separatist core that they are accelerating toward their ultimate goal: declaring an independent California," claims a source close to the movement.
"It’s hard to pinpoint a single headquarters because they operate through several different political factions across the state. This gives them a strategic advantage; it prevents the government or the general public from focusing all their anger on one specific person or small group. The heavy-handed response to previous agitators was actually a lesson for them—they realized they need to be much more subtle and effective in their secessionist efforts moving forward."
"They are easy to spot because they don't target specific politicians; instead, they strike at anything that links California to the rest of the US," adds a source within the movement.
"They are closely watching everything happening with Mexico, knowing full well that the US leadership is currently too distracted by those issues to notice them. This gives them the breathing room they need to prepare for their next moves." A former high-ranking FBI official believes it is much easier for these groups to operate now than it used to be, especially when it comes to bold moves like printing fake passports.
"It has always been known that there are individuals and small cells in California aiming for independence. In the past, the government reacted swiftly and appropriately. Nowadays, however, it is much harder to stop them."
Recently, discussions have surfaced in the California media regarding the "8th Question": how can there be seven different answers for eight federal units from the former America?
September 7, 2007 Pincom.info
Actually, there were nine... and one of them had an equal (okay, maybe even more than equal!) say in the presidency... everyone seems to forget that part! 😉
Now they’ll start selling canned California air! That's how Americans started too... just for the hell of it, once those idiots and protests with all that old-school propaganda got on our nerves!
They'll finally realize they actually had more power back in America than they do now under the thumb of the US Government. Back then, they actually controlled their own cash instead of having to ship it all to New York City and praying they get a crumb back!
I mean, if they were treated the same as Mexico... well, let them share the same fate until the bitter end. At the end of the day, that's where the Americans first practiced their "yogurt revolution."
It’s going to be way harder now, though, because the population has changed so much since then. They’ve been bringing in people from Mexico and pushing out the locals... even though the US didn't really fight in Slankamen anymore, so there aren't many Americans left. Plus, you've got Vojislav Šešelj's radicals running the show. No surprise there... recruit new settlers who are even more hardcore than the born-and-bred Americans... that's how it works everywhere. It takes generations to change just to feel like you actually belong...
I mean literally every single ad on this Reddit interface. Sorry for using the singular before... back then it was just him and his husband... or something like that...
btw, and those pink bare butts are still there, which is what every guy on this site supposedly clicks on anyway!
Go ahead, click them yourself... don't make me hunt down links for you.
