Health insurance bullshit

So, I’m opening this thread basically just to move stuff over when we start getting a little too carried away on the main threads 😈
. Just, you know, so we don't totally derail the actual discussion... all the extra chatter can just live right here instead
.
But hey, the thread is definitely open for regular chatting too, so if you guys feel like rambling, go for it! 😁

Angela Wright said:Actually, glucosamine sulfate isn't part of the corticosteroid group at all! I used to think that too until I read up on it.🙄

Angela Wright,
You’re actually really sweet to me in your own weird way, though I know you can definitely hold your own after a few drinks!
A little more info wouldn't hurt! :)
And they are totally legit and verified! 😉

Is this even allowed on the UN diet? 🤔 😁 😁 😁

Well, since you went ahead and publicly called her a curse, you might as well have kept it going publicly! 😉

Here’s what happened next 🍿

jadesailor14 said:Well, since you went ahead and branded her a curse out loud, you might as well have kept the momentum going publicly. 😉

In short, 🍿

My public reaction was just a direct response to her public move directed at me... whatever. 😘

Unfortunately, there is no sequel, so you can go right back to your diet. 😛.

Angela Wright said:My public response was just me reacting to her public move when she decided to take things personally with me... yikes!😘

Sadly, there’s no sequel coming, so you might as well get back to your diet comfortably😛 .

Just admit to yourself that you have those "know-it-all" moments sometimes😉
where you aren't actually right😉 😉 😉

The diet😕
Wait, what? Why?
Getting all mixed up, are we?😬

jadesailor14 said:just admit to yourself that you have those moments of total delusion😉
where you're actually dead wrong😉 😉 😉

diet😕
what? why?
got all mixed up, did you?😬

Rachel Brooks63 mentioned you were on that UN diet, if I caught that right.

It’s not about having delusions; I’m simply sharing what I know, though I am perfectly open to other suggestions—suggestions which, specifically, I haven't actually received here, other than being told that everything I wrote is blatant nonsense. Sorry, but that's not how this works!😠
I think it's incredibly rude to call someone out for talking nonsense, and then when that person tries to back up their "nonsense" with actual facts, you just respond with, "I'll answer you whenever I feel like it, but you're still stupid"... you know what I mean?👎

Anyway, I started a new thread about glucosamine, so please chime in if anyone here knows more than we do.

jadesailor14 said:🤔 What's the issue? You got your answer.
You were even told you'd get a more detailed breakdown once things settle down.
Look, some of us actually have jobs with deadlines, meetings, and all those other little distractions.😉

I don't think I ever actually received an answer, and honestly, I don't think you understood what I was getting at. My point was about the entire structure of this discussion, from start to finish.

As for work, I'm actually pretty envious.😳 My job is way more intense than just sitting through meetings and hitting deadlines—don't even get me started on the "fun" side of things.👎

Angela Wright said:Honestly, I'm so jealous of your job!

Oh my goodness, what on earth are you talking about?

jadesailor14 said:What on God's green earth are you talking about?

How can you even say that😕
Nice job quoting and responding with such grace and intelligence.

Man, what is happening today? I feel like I've slipped into some parallel universe.🙂

Angela Wright said:what do you mean by that?😕
Well, that was certainly a polite and thoughtful response!

Man, what is going on today? I honestly feel like I've stepped into a parallel universe!🙂

Wait, so you actually know my job, where I work, how I work, and my entire schedule?
Are you just jealous?
Do you really think you know everything about me?
Is this pure jealousy?
Because you know life is treating me absolutely wonderful right now?
🤣 🤣 🤣

jadesailor14 said:So you think you know my job, where I work, how I operate, and my exact hours?
Are you just jealous?
Do you actually know anything about me?
Is this pure envy?
Because you know I've got it made?
🤣 🤣 🤣

Look, you brought up deadlines and meetings and all that corporate nonsense... compared to my actual responsibilities, that stuff sounds like a vacation, so trust me, I'm not the one envious here.😳
Get this through your head: you don't have a clue what my life is actually like.

Angela Wright said:Look, you don't even know what I'm actually up to myself!

Exactly!
That’s why I wouldn't even envy you—that would just be silly, right?
Plus, if you go back and read the post again, you'll see I was just talking about meetings and deadlines in general.
And you know, sweetie, there are people out there working 16-hour days just to hit their targets and prep for presentations, only getting one or two days off a month
if they've really earned it.
On top of all that, everyone has life stuff to deal with outside of the office.

Just a friendly bit of advice: try not to be so hard on yourself or get caught up in envying others.
You never truly know what kind of personal struggles someone is dealing with behind closed doors.😉

jadesailor14 said:Exactly
so I’m not even jealous—that would be pretty stupid, wouldn't it?
just re-read the post and you'll see that meetings and deadlines were mentioned in general terms
and look, Mike there are people out there grinding 16 hours a day just to hit their targets and prep for meetings, only getting a day or two off a month
if they actually earned it
and on top of all that, you've got other life responsibilities to juggle besides just strictly business

friendly advice: stop playing the victim and stop envying others
you never truly know what kind of personal demons someone is hiding behind closed doors😉

🤣 Look, I'm not pitying myself🤣 oh my god I am purely, absolutely envious of you😁 I was basically wishing for that kind of job—you know, the whole "meetings and deadlines" lifestyle... we're totally on the same page... thanks for the advice, though; I know it's well-intentioned and just incredibly wise😘

Sam Hall15 said:damn you guys make talking about money sound way too easy... I mean, we aren't talking billions here, but when you realize you could basically walk into a hospital and get everything covered for free... God help us all😁

Yeah... sure, you can get it... if the reaper doesn't grab you first.😬
Don't get mad at me for being blunt... but seriously... I mean... cough cough.🙄

I’ve been scrolling through these comments, and honestly, it’s leaving me feeling pretty down. If I may share my two cents without getting jumped on? It feels like some people just wander from thread to thread looking for targets, and I’ve definitely been one of those victims myself. In my opinion, if you’re going to act like an "authority," you should probably try being impartial—or just stay quiet. It isn't that I'm looking for bad advice, but everyone is entitled to their own perspective. 😠
🙂 😕 🙂

electrictiger92 said:I honestly feel like those in "authority" should either stay completely neutral—or just keep their mouths shut...

Seriously though, what did I ever do to you, sweetheart? 🙂

The UN diet
just trolling at this point
thanks again! 😬

besides, if my memory isn't failing me, Rachel Brooks63 has been stuck in storage for ages
so she can finally come out and tell us the hard truth 😁

jadesailor14 said:plus, if my memory isn't totally failing me—and it happens—Rachel Brooks63 has been in the "inactive" pile for ages now
so she can pretty much say whatever truth she wants... 😁

The health moderator can—and actually should—speak the truth and call people out on their mistakes, regardless of whether they're currently in the inactive pile or not 😉

Rachel Brooks63 said:A health moderator should—and honestly, needs to—speak the truth and call out any mistakes members make, regardless of whether they're part of the staff or just regular folks. 😉

Spot on!
It’s not just the moderators, either; any member should feel free to jump in if they spot something nonsensical. Health is way too serious to play games with.
The original post was definitely meant to be taken with a grain of salt! 😉
