#tj is in insurance hell

[tj-crochets]

Hey y'all! I am once again in health insurance hell, and could really use some help. I have a specific US health insurance question, but it might get long so it's below a read more

My employer offers two health plan options, and they are both absolutely terrible. I want to get my own health insurance, but the insurance broker lady I used when I worked part time says I can't, because I can get health insurance through my employer, even if I opt out. I spoke to another health insurance person today, and she said if I get a letter on company letterhead saying I'll lose health insurance on [date], as long as it's 60 days or less from now, it counts as a qualifying event and I can buy my own health insurance. She said opting out counted as losing health insurance. Do you know anything about this? How do I get health insurance as an individual NOT through my employer even though my employer offers it? The plans my employer is offering are Aetna, and Aetna is the absolute worst and I despise them as a company so much one of my long term goals is to warn people against them. They suck! They refused to pay for my inhaler until I got my doctor to fill out a form like three times, and also I had to email them A LOT and fill out a LOT of surveys with an emphasis on how horrifying I found it that they as a company clearly valued profit over their customer's lives, and would in fact prefer their customers die before they could reach the ER in case of an emergency, as evidenced by their refusing to pay for my rescue inhaler, a necessary life-saving medication. They also require I fill that form out every year, just in case I magically stop being in the small minority of people who get severe adverse reactions to albuterol and levalbuterol

#the person behind the yarn #tj is in insurance hell #I also promised Aetna I'd make it a goal to share my story on social media about how terrible they are as an insurance company #it's been months since they started actually paying for my inhalers but I'm still salty about it! #and I am not done telling people they are terrible #I promised them on all those surveys that I would post on social media and tell people in person whenever I had the slightest excuse #I said I'd tell every medical professional pharmacist and person in a waiting room I ever interacted with #and then they were magically willing to pay for my inhaler! #I'm still telling people though. It wasn't a 'pay for my inhaler or else' kind of thing #I was just telling them what was going to happen because of how they chose to run their business #so yeah. Aetna's the worst avoid them if you can #the didn't pay for my heart monitor when I've had idiopathic tachycardia for OVER A DECADE #they don't want to pay for one of my meds because they want me to use a specific pharmacy #but I'm allergic to the inactive ingredients used by the only manufacturer they have for that medication #I literally can't take it without having a severe allergic reaction #but they still want me to use it because it comes from the pharmacy they own #(or are owned by the same parent company? Not sure what it says specifically on paper)

Stealing Aemond Targaryen’s Parking spot

Aemond Targaryen x strong!midwestern!reader

You are Strong American woman who drives a minivan and loves Jamba Juice

But can you really flit around the Stop n’ Shop center, after stealing Aemond Targaryen’s parking spot, at no cost?

SEQUEL HERE: https://at.tumblr.com/fieldandfountain/aemond-targaryen-is-my-overworked-barista/w0kzs8q7k79i

You think you’re going to kill someone.

Today has been stressful, with the insurance claims piling up, and the congestion on the parkway did not improve your mood. You have road rage, you are pissed off, and you are going to get your goddamn Jamba Juice, come hell or high water.

You pull into the parking lot, and to your fury, it is packed. All the spaces from the Starbucks down to Gold’s Gym are occupied. You turn and hiss as someone honks at you.

“Damn it, damn it, damn it,” you wail, as you make your third round. Nobody is leaving.

Then finally, blessedly, you arrive on a Subaru backing out. You bang on your steering wheel as you see a Mercedes Benz creeping in.

No way. Not on your watch.

You swerve in with remarkable speed. You know you should feel bad, but the adrenaline coursing through your body simply makes you all the more ready for sugar.  

You get Aloha Pineapple with extra strawberries and are happily sipping and walking to your car when one of THEM shows up.

Oh god.

“’’Twas my spot,” Aemond Targaryen says, and he lifts up his jaw to look down on you. He only has one eye, and you don’t want to be a dick about it, but does stare twice as hard with it.

The Targaryens are freaks, but super rich so they can get away with a shocking amount. They’re like a cult, and live in a weird compound and raise pitbulls. You even heard that they fuck each other.

Last year two branches of the family split and had a ‘war’ with flamethrowers until the Fire Marshall and the Park service went apeshit.  Now they just walk around town glaring at each other and trying to drag everyone else into their weird feud.

They also look and talk like Lord of the Rings elves. You think it’s some Renn Fair thing, but the Eileen from Supercuts says the hair is 100% real.

“Sorry, bud,” you say, rolling your eyes as you pass. He bangs his hands on your minivan, pinning you in space. You slurp your juice nervously.

What a freak. Not bad looking though.

His voice is withering. “You think you can flit about the Stop n’ Shop center, after stealing my parking spot, at no cost?”

Fuck, you’re getting kind of turned on.

“You’re going to rue the day your father whelped you on a tavern whore.”

Your dad met your mom when she was working Applebee’s on wings night, so it’s not exactly wrong but not right either.

You shove him backwards, but he snatches your wrist. “My, you are Strong.”

Not this again. Everyone in town knows your stepdad adopted you, and your bio dad is Wayne Strong from Strong HVAC and Plumbing. The dude got around so there are lots of Strong kids in town, but Aemond is absolutely obsessed with them, probably because Wayne hooked up with his sister.

“What’s the matter?” He smirks and you notice his gaze run over your body. He’s unhinged as hell, but you’ve known worse.. “’Are you not strong? ‘Twas only a  compliment.” He hones in closer, and his breathes meets yours. You almost forget what a goddamn dork he is.

You lunge at him, faking him out, and he pulls back. His nostrils flare. “Come at me again, and I’ll feed you to my pit bull.”

You slurp, batting your lashes. “You mean the one ate your nephew?”

He slams his hand against the van, but face goes pale as he stares into the distance, towards the TJ Maxx. “My father says that Targaryen control over their pit bulls is an illusion.”

“No shit,” you say. Those dogs are constantly escaping and pissing everywhere.

The kiss is hot and fast and comes as a surprise, mainly because the Aloha pineapple falls on your sandals and freezes your foot.

“Damnit, Aemond,” you say. “That was $6.”

But you gasp as he nibbles on your neck as a family of five waits patiently in their SUV. You see them sigh, and leave, you know everyone and their mom will hear about this.

“I know with your Strong blood, you must support my sister’s claim.”

Because your dad fucked her? Now you’re just confused.

He grinds against you, your arm pins against the minivan, and his lean form feels good between your legs. “The pit bulls will bring this city to its knees. We can never be together, that much is clear.”

“Okaaay,” you say. His long fingers are sneaking up your tank top, and you don’t want him to stop, but you’re pretty sure that’s your eighth grade social studies teacher staring at you from across the lot.

“But I still intend to claim you, as mine.” His hand is slipping under your bra, and you whine and also worry the cops will show up. He hisses into your ear. “You enrage me. You break me. I will have your innocence.”

A bit late for that, buddy. “Cool,” you say. “Your place or mine?”

Junkie Depp is going to OD any day now. That old fat ass is going down hill fast! And that's awesome, since he's an abusive, worthless piece of shit. I'm sure he'll have fun in hell with all his little pedo friends.

Can't wait for you depptards to lose your minds and cry over that aggro injun!

Uh huh... so you are wrong, rscist & body shaming? What a combo... does your Aunt Mom know you talk like that? Well, if you're not too busy making out with your brother's cousin, let me lay some facts.

In the REAL world, Amber will be going to court in Australia and She's no longer ambassador of anything. Hey you want to hear a little rumor that is true? Well.... I heard, that Amber purposely made that article to slander against Johnny Depp because she was hoping to be sued. She was going to use that case in order to bring attention to her, counter sue against Johnny Depp get bank & get free press. Also because her article was also insured, she'd would've collected insurance on her little stunt. You know that articles can be insured? I didn't learn when you pay attention, am I right?

It's a dog eat dog world out there, isn't it?

You see a lot of people put money into her stunt in order for the big payoff. They thought that she was going to be the biggest star and her winning the court case was going to make her an icon... a way to shoot ahead into being an A-Lister.... to come out smelling like a rose. But instead she ended up smelling like her bed sheet. Isn't it amazing?

She used suckers like you in order for her to pursue this. Oh but yeah, it is so sad that you're still falling for her tricks... although if she has a cult, why not to get them to rub her feet? But that's okay. If it wasn't for people like you, who would give people like her any attention? All.she has left is the Amber Simps... you're all she's got... so please stay with her... give her a dollar when you see her, she'll need it.

However its interesting the insurance that she was hoping for the big payoff on, are not going to cover for her liability case? ..... Shocking! Apparently, if you purposely try to get yourself sued with intended malice and defamation (not me saying this, the big meanies in insurance). Then the insurance don't want to insure you for that. That's like setting fireworks inside your house on purpose and expecting the insurance company to cover you. I wonder how she's enjoying the fireworks? It looks like not only she has to deal with Australia, she now has to deal with the insurance company and the IRS. I wonder how many of her friends are going to cover for her? I bet Barlow has enough money to help her. For a terf, she's.... got good teeth?

Anyway, thanks for your little comment. Thought I'd spread some happy news for you. Since you're such a sad little gray face. It's adorable. Look at you trying to act as if your words mean anything. You are absolutely precious. You're just like that angry little turd on a bed sheet. You just want attention so you raise a stink. Don't worry little turd 💩 burger. Amber does Love you. And one of these days she's going to pay so much attention to you, she's going to be so grateful and give you one big sloppy hug. She's going to say that she appreciates you and she's going to make all your dreams come true. And when that happens, you can come by here and tell me I told you so all day. I'd like to see that happen for you... Good luck Gray face. By the way I already know who you are. It's so cute you think I can't figure it out. When your vocabulary and your grammar is so so so so so familiar. Maybe you should try changing the repertoire?

Maybe you should write to Amber and tell her how much you mean to her and then give her your debit card number with pin. A REAL Amber Supporter would do that... right? Come on, she needs you. She's shopping at TJ Maxx... you can give her a visa card under your name, right?

Anyway stay moist...

#amber heard #johnny depp #gemini #Give Amber all your money like a true fam!

2293 Verus St

This is the apartment I was in quite a while and you people hardly noticed me it was a good reason for it I was sitting next to a device that we were arming we have to take out of there and going to use my address to do it you didn't want to put me there on the internet and he asked me over and over cuz it's not a pig he's not a pig. And he said this is real close to TJ and I was going to the city and I say I was there when you were there and I was trying to get back over there and they wouldn't let me in and you help me and you couldn't find me and you look for me a few times in Mexico I didn't want to go back there so became big and decided at the Crab shack and we did okay and somebody was bothering us saying all sorts of things. Yeah it was Trump so I went after him and slaughtered his in him and he kept bouncing back now is not going to. Ever.

Tomorrow's a day and the item is in Arizona and it's in one of his shops no but they put it there when they were there and it's in a big city it's in one of his buildings yeah and some stolen item from Utah the mail system it's not massively bent about it because it'll postpone it it's Max code sent hell bent on stopping him but I know what we're doing and I wanted to get the package sooner rather than later cuz it does something to the people in the East Coast so I'm trying to get to it now and in Arizona and the idiot makes a mistake and go to Mexico and show up there and I grab him and I still couldn't get the package tell me where it was and we couldn't get to it I tried for quite a while and they lost a lot of people. And that's what he's doing tonight he's going to Arizona than Mexico and he's going to Boston all over the place you can it's going to try and stop here but no they won't let him and he's going into Cicero as well as Man apart and his last shootings and he gets shot in the face and a lot of his got killed tons of his meaning many many octillions. And and then he goes out there to Mexico and he sees me and I grab him and he gets away is a huge a****** he is you saying it could be Terry afterwards. I disregards it and it goes up there with the package and gets intercepted by newsome and the gang and we do know what happens to the package after that they take it away and they burn the ambulance they were in and they take the package with them on the robbery which they do right afterwards and they try and use it as insurance which is stupid. The feds grab it and they allow Cherry cheeseman to move the money to Alabama on purpose and to Cuba. But the package goes back in the mail from Utah yes they can see it in the video

Thirty. Part 3

The hospital put us in a private room, the silence is thick. None of us are speaking and mostly I am in deep thought, why are they taking so long. What is happening, is it that bad. I just want to hold him; I want to see his face so I can be angry at him still. We argued, we had to argue, and he didn’t help, he continued the argument with me “god” I said to myself “we argued that night, he just came back from the club and I called him and we argued. That is the last thing he felt, the last thing I felt and that kills me Mel, it really does. I am distraught that we just had that moment of hatred towards each other even though we love each other so much, I need to know if he is hurting. You don’t understand” Mel placed her hand over my lap “I can’t calm down, that is the point” I hate this, I hate this so much and I am worried that something even worse has happened and it’s my fault “I told him to housesit, it’s my fault. This is my fault” shaking my head “will you stop, how the hell is this your fault? Did you know your home was going to get broken into, just concerning that they haven’t told us anything. What is even the issue” I can’t do this, just sit here for what “I am going to ask again” I got up from the chair, Rich shot up also and followed me “don’t blame yourself Robyn, you did nothing” TJ said, they have both been so quiet with me but probably don’t know what to say to me, which is understandable “we argued, that is the last conversation. I will never forgive myself for if I lose him like that” dragging open the door, this is stressing me out.

The receptionist did a double take, she looks like oh not me again “it’s been an hour, what is happening to him. Let me see him, please?” I asked, I need to see him “ma’am I can check again, but he is in ICU we cannot allow you to see him but let me check” nodding my head, taking in a deep breath looking over at Rich. I feel like I am fifty, I feel old with all this stress “I will order some food for you once we get back” he said it like I care about eating “he has left MRI, he is in ICU. They are taking him for emergency surgery” she looked around her “he has no insurance” my eyes widened “you’re joking right?” That is a lie, everyone does or should have “he doesn’t at all, they are going to bill him after, but he has no insurance on the system which is a concern” I breathed out “this is crazy, just do what you need to do. I will pay, just please bring him back. Please” the receptionist nodded her head “if we can take your details, fill this form out so we have it on file you will. I mean they are still doing it but with concern that he can’t pay, but if you can fill this” she grabbed the paper from the printer, Chris is a pain. How can you walk around with no insurance, why is he like this “thank you” taking the paper from her “Rihanna” looking up seeing Joyce and Clinton, I just cried seeing Joyce because she looks just like Chris “don’t cry, oh no” she rushed over hugging me, she has made it worse with me just seeing her.

Joyce really had me crying, she is literally Chris’ twin “no need to cry, Robyn. God got him and god will bring him back to us, my son is always walking into trouble. It’s like he has trouble following him, what are you filling out?” She asked “your son also doesn’t have insurance” Joyce let out a groan “not again, we had to pay out for him last time and he promised he would do it, he promised me. Oh no, this cost us so much last time. I’m gonna murder him” so he knew, once Joyce murders him I will also, what an idiot “well I am going to pay for it, it’s nothing for me. I just hate he is acting invincible” Joyce placed her hand on my wrist “no, this is not your problem! It’s my son, let me” frowning at her “please, let me. He was in my home, it happened under my care. Please, I am not disrespecting you Joyce or Clinton, but it happened in my home, I feel responsible for letting him go there. I don’t want to put you out so I will pay his fees, I rather he gets the best care. Ok?” I won’t have them pay for this, this is my fault and I rather do it then put them out “oh sweetie” she held my hand “you are an Angel, an Angel that deserves the happiness. I pray for you and my son, I pray for your sanity, it’s hard losing a baby” I clenched my jaw “it’s hard on you, I pray god blesses you and blesses my son with a brain, you are a great daughter in law” I laughed putting my head down “don’t scare Chris now with those words” she let my hand go “Chris says a lot of things, but that boy loves you so much, he does. He may act a whole fool, but he loves you” signing my name on the paper “I know he does” I mumbled, he is a pain in the ass but he’s my pain in the ass.

Jay Brown has been trying to contact me all night, but I have my phone on silent, I don’t want to speak to anyone so he’s harassing Mel and he wants to know if I meant it about cancelling all the Canada dates, I meant that shit. I do not want to be on that stage, until I see Chris with my own eyes. I want to see his face, I want to see if he’s ok, is he in pain. Is he bruised, is he injured forever. I need to know, so god help me I will get this person that did this to him. I’ve not even thought of researching or contacting the police on what happened, I don’t want to see my man’ blood in my home so no. I really want to see him “you not tired?” Mel asked, shaking my head “sweetie you can go to sleep, we will tell you if anything happens” Joyce said but nothing will make me move “you have just got off stage and come here, you need to eat and rest” why is Mel exposing this “no thank you” clasping my hands together “Jay is calling again shall I just tell him you’re not coming back” nodding my head, I do not want to speak to him so Mel can “I wonder if Chris’ surgery went well, shall I go and ask? I must ask, maybe there is more” Joyce once again placed her hands over mine “please rest, you look ever so tired” she says this, but I can’t “I can’t” shaking my head “I love him so much Joyce, I just want to see him. I feel at blame, I told him to go there, I told him to stay there. I didn’t know” Clinton frowned at me “do not blame yourself, you did nothing. You could never predict such a thing” his parents are so sweet.

Everyone around me had breakfast, I had some but felt sick. It’s been too long; I can’t do this anymore. I can’t sit here and just do nothing, I need to know if Chris is ok “when I saw Chris when he got beat up, he said to me he can’t go through that again, he said it. He can’t do it, if he is hurting. I don’t want him hurt Joyce” I have a headache coming alone, I really do. I need help, I need to help him “Joyce” the door opened, this is a doctor and a nurse, oh my god are we getting news “bro wake up!” Barry slapped TJ “yes, that is me” the doctor walked in “I am Doctor Simone, my assistant and nurse Cynthia” it’s nice to see a female doctor, a black female doctor “I have just finished and performed surgery on Christopher” I am so excited to hear, I want to know if he is ok “is my son ok, please tell me he is” I am anxious “surgery went great, he is coming around. He lost a lot of blood; he suffered a gunshot wound which lodge in his femoral artery and he bled out a lot on his left leg on his thigh. It was important to get Christopher into surgery, he was losing blood and he was going to falling in and out of unconsciousness. We have managed to repair it, and his leg is in a cast to keep his leg in one place right now” I breathed out, I am just so happy he is ok, I just want him to be ok “can Robyn see him, now. Please? I am content to know he is ok, can she see him” I near got choked up hearing that, putting my head down “erm, he is coming around. Cynthia can walk you to him, we will keep to just one person right now if we can?” Joyce really is letting me go “Joyce you are his mother?” looking at her “baby, you need to rest. So go” hugging her as soon as she said that that is the sweetest thing to let me do.

Rich of course followed along as much as he could, he can’t come in with me, but he is going to be waiting outside the door. I am following the nurse; I am wondering what will he be like “is Chris awake or are they waiting for him to come around?” I asked, I am unsure on what the doctor meant “he is coming around, but he is asleep still. We are waiting for him to come around, we want it to be a slow process” nodding my head understanding “he needs to stay out here now, don’t worry I will stay close to her. We are too busy to even take pictures or harass Rihanna” Cynthia mentioned, Rich smiled and moved to the side waiting outside “I will be here” he added, Cynthia unlocked the door with the key card, she held the door open for me as I entered the very busy ICU, I am shocked they have but I guess they have allowed it. This place is hectic, seems like a lot of machinery and people around “he is in this room just here” she pushed open the door “no movement?” she spoke to someone, I am a little nervous now. I am tired too, but I am going to see Chris, Cynthia smiled at me holding the door open for me. Walking into the room slowly “he is still asleep right now” some guy got up, seeing my poppa with a bandaged head, his left leg in a cast. It hurt me to see him like that, like this again. Not as badly bruised but I hate to see this “please tell me what else has happened to him, why does he have a bandaged head” I pointed “he has a slight cut to his head, just on the right side. We wanted to apply pressure on that so that this why we have the bandage on” nodding my head “how long is recovery for this? Do you know?” maybe I am jumping ahead “anything between four to eight weeks, we need to keep his leg elevated between that, but we will leave you here. You can speak to him, coax him slowly to wake up. I will be back” nodded my head, I am going to be alone with him in this room.

Slowly walking over to the bed, my heart hurts so much to see him like this on this bed. Always getting hurt somehow, my whole heart is here on this bed. He just looks so unwell; I don’t like it. The guy I last saw was so full of life, he just looks, and I hate to say it but lifeless, looking up and seeing the bag of blood, he must have really lost a lot of blood “oh my god, poppa. What has happened to you, you know I would be the first one here. I would give anything up for you. Here I am, here for you. I hate that we argued” lightly touching his forehead “you need to stop frowning, you got frown lines poppa. Is it me, am I making you frown now” leaning over and kissing his forehead “you probably hearing my voice and want to be asleep; I am so happy you are here with me” holding onto his hand “please wake up, I love you so much” I swallowed hard “I am hurting without you with me” shaking my head as I just cried, I cried out because I could have lost him. I could have lost him “I won’t be able to function without you, please wake up” lifting his hand up a little, resting my forehead on the back of his hand “please come back to me” I sobbed out, my heart just feels like a hand is squeezing on it, my heart is hurting so much. The grip of his hand tightened around mine, looking up to Chris “you’re awake” that made me cry even more.

Little White Lies - Chapter 7

TW: This chapter deals super closely with past abuse/trauma

"Cyrus I-" "I'm so sorry, I know it's way too personal. I tried to write something more generic, but Mrs. Bailey wouldn't let me do that so I had to get personal and I'm so sorry," Cyrus interrupted. "No, Cyrus, it- it's beautiful. Thank you," TJ said, wrapping his arms around Cyrus and pulling him into a hug. "Do you- do you wanna come over today? Our time to work kinda got cut short because you had to rewrite this." "Oh! Yeah, I'd like that. Let me just text my dad and go drop off my books in my locker? I'll meet you at your locker." "Sounds good," TJ said, starting out the door. Cyrus followed him, but they turned in opposite directions upon exiting the classroom. TJ turned around a few paces down the hall, a grin on his face as he called out to Cyrus. "Oh, and Underdog?" "Yeah?" Cyrus turned around, meeting his eyes with a smile. "I'm pretty sure you're dyeing me pink." "What?" Pink? Cyrus was dyeing him pink? What the hell did that mean? TJ merely smiled that stupidly perfect smile of his and started to leave. "You'll figure it out. See you in a few!" Cyrus smiled in spite of himself as he walked down the hall, a blush crawling up his neck as he remembered the way TJ had smiled at him, like Cyrus held the world in his eyes. "Hey, Cyrus!" Andi said, jogging up to him as Cyrus fished his phone from his pocket. "Andi!" Cyrus exclaimed, quickly texting his dad to tell him he was hanging out with TJ. "I feel like it's been forever since we hung out," Andi said sadly. "Can we today?" "Oh, I'm sorry! I have plans with TJ," Cyrus apologized. "Soon though, I promise." "Okay," Andi nodded. "How about I call you tonight? We can go for late night milkshakes at the Spoon?" "Sounds perfect. With Buffy?" "She's got a sleepover with the team tonight. The three of us can hang out this weekend, maybe?" Andi offered. Cyrus nodded with a grin, hugging her goodbye. "I've missed you two." "We've missed you more, Cy," Andi promised. "Oh my God! I forgot to tell you!" "What?" Cyrus asked, clearly worried. "No, no it's good. TJ and I ran into each other at the supermarket this morning. He told me to tell Amber how I feel." "Did you take his advice?" Cyrus asked excitedly, nearly bouncing on his toes as he put his books in his locker. "Not yet, not yet. But soon, maybe? I don't know, it's all so...scary." "It'll be great, A," Cyrus said, hugging her again. "Oh, I've got something to tell you too! I've gotta go, though." "What?! No, tell me!" "I want to think some more about it, kind of figure it out? I don't really even know what it meant yet," Cyrus said sheepishly, thinking to TJ's comment about dyeing him pink. "Ugh, alright, I'll call you tonight!" "You'd better," Cyrus laughed, ruffling Andi's hair as he passed her. He turned the corner, his feet hitting the floor the only noise in the hall as he walked. "There you are, Underdog! Ready to go?" TJ asked, leaning against his locker next to Amber. "Yup! Sorry, I ran into Andi. We had some...things to catch up on." Amber immediately glanced up upon hearing Andi's name, grinning at the mention of her friend. "Like what?" she asked, doing her best to maintain a straight face. "Best friend things," Cyrus chastised with a chuckle, shaking his head at Amber's clear feelings for Andi. "C'mon, let's get going," TJ said, tugging Cyrus and Amber toward the exit. "We stay here any longer, we're going to be given a damn mop and asked to cover for the night janitor." "Alright alright, we're going," Amber laughed, letting TJ push her down the hall.

They stepped into the warm September air, the sun pouring over them like water from a faucet. TJ glanced down at Cyrus, whose soft, dark eyes had melted into pools of molasses under the light. His glance morphed into a lingering gaze, but he was snapped from his musings by a sharp pain as Amber pinched his wrist. TJ swatted her hand away, mouthing a silent 'not now' as they walked. 'Then when?' Amber mouthed back, earning a vaguely gestured 'shut up' and a flick to the head as they turned onto the Kippens' street. Amber smiled and raised a knowing eyebrow, stepping forward to walk in front of the pair. They walked encased in a comfortable silence for a few moments, before turning up their driveway. Amber opened the door, only to slam it shut again. "Ambs? What's wrong?" TJ asked, rushing forward to rest a hand on Amber's shoulder. "Nothing," she said, taking a deep breath and shaking her head. "Hand just slipped." "...Okay?" TJ said, pulling the heavy front door open. "Oh." "What? What's happening?" Cyrus asked, stepping forward. Over TJ's shoulder, someone Cyrus had never seen before was sitting at the kitchen table. He seemed to be perfectly normal, dressed in jeans and a gray T-shirt, and the spitting image of TJ. Connecting dots one by one, Cyrus understood what was happening. "Cyrus, I- we can't hang out today, sorry. You should, um...You should go home." "TJ, I-" "Cyrus, go. Seriously." TJ interrupted. "But-" "Cyrus, just go home! God, do you ever just let it go? I don't need your help, Cyrus." Cyrus recoiled slightly, eyes falling to the ground. "TJ I just want to-" "STOP IT. You can't help us!" TJ roared, marching toward Cyrus, who merely walked backward in time with his footsteps. "Not if you don't fucking let me!" The curse felt awkward tumbling from his mouth, but it didn't matter. Not now. Not with TJ staring at him with tears welling in his eyes. "Listen to me, Cyrus. I know you don't get it because you live in two huge white houses and have more money than you know what to do with. You have four perfect, loving parents, and two best friends who'd kill for you. You get perfect grades. You have perfect clothes. "You can afford to not have to cover the electricity bill or the groceries every few months just to keep food on the table and a roof over your fucking family's heads. You never have to wonder where your next meal is going to come from, or if you can afford to miss another day of school to go to work. You never have to skip out on getting antidepressants just because your health insurance doesn't cover them and your family can't pay it out of pocket. Your life is perfect, and you don't have to lift a finger for it. "But mine isn't, Cyrus. I have one functional parent and one sister. I used to have two, but guess what? ONE'S DEAD. Amber, my mom and I fight and work every fucking day just to keep the lights on and the water running. "So I am sorry if you don't get to play the savior this time, Cyrus. I'm sorry if my life doesn't make you happy or satisfy your stupid fucking need to save every person you meet, but you don't get to fix me. Just go home." "I- I'm sorry," Cyrus said, pushing tears out of his eyes as he turned and rushed down the walkway and out of the neighborhood. "GodDAMNIT!" TJ yelled, kicking the railing on their porch as he watched Cyrus leave. "TJ," Amber said quietly, one hand on his shoulder. "I'm sorry." "It's fine, Amber," TJ snapped, turning and pushing back through the front door.

Cyrus walked into his house with a sigh, dropping his keys on the table by the door. "Hey, kiddo," his dad said, stepping into the foyer to hug his son. "I thought you were hanging out with TJ." "I realized I have homework," Cyrus mumbled, eyes on the ground. His words were clipped, but somehow managed to bleed into one another like black and gray watercolors across a bright canvas. He pushed past his dad and started up the stairs. His footsteps, weighted with sadness and concern for TJ, fell heavily against the warm carpet beneath his toes. Ignoring his dad's worried knocking on his bedroom door, he pulled his laptop from his bag and plugged his earbuds into his phone. He fell onto his bed, the soft melody floating through his earbuds calming him slightly, and pushed his laptop open. As he opened Google Chrome, some of the residual worry for TJ that had settled into his very bones began to fall away, replaced with implacable determination. He quickly typed 'color pink meaning' into his search bar, scrolling through the results with languid interest, not really believing he'd find what he was looking for on the first try. However, as it turns out, TJ was very bad at leaving breadcrumbs. He'd instead opted to give Cyrus the whole loaf of bread, thus making his search infinitely easier. Cyrus found what he needed as soon as he started to pay attention to the links he was passing. Several connected pink to little girls and femininity, but neither concerned to Cyrus, as he was very sure he hadn't turned TJ into a little girl. What did stick out to him was the overwhelming consensus that the entirety of the internet had seemed to decide upon. Pink meant love. Apparently, pink was the color of falling asleep next to someone, of intertwined hands and smiling into kisses. It was the color of falling in love with someone before you were entirely finished falling in love with the way they walk down the hall. Pink was the color of the blush that fell upon his cheeks whenever TJ smiled at him. Cyrus Goodman was in love with TJ Kippen. He was in love with the boy who wanted nothing to do with him.

"What are you doing here?" TJ asked, closing the door behind him and moving to stand slightly in front of Amber, taking her hand. "What, you didn't miss me?" Vincent asked, standing from his chair. "No, we really didn't," Amber said, fighting to even her voice. Behind TJ's back, she silently texted their mom the most definite message she could write fast enough. Dad's back.

Jennifer rushed into the house as something shattered, most likely a picture frame.

"Vince! What the fuck are you doing here?" she asked, quickly pushing Amber and TJ toward their rooms. "I have a restraining order out on you, you know that." "I'm here to see my kids," Vince said with a shrug that sent a frightened chill down Jennifer's back. "No the hell you're not," she responded, pulling her phone from her bag and dialing 911. "What do you think you're doing?!" She quickly detailed what was happening and where they were to the operator, who told her help was on the way. "You'll regret that, Jen." "Oh no, I won't." Jennifer looked up at him, ignoring the voice in her head screaming to run, her eyes narrow. "You listen to me this time. You are not going to lay a hand on my children or come near us ever again." She kept talking until she could hear sirens, at which point Vincent finally tipped over the boiling point.

"Hey, kiddos," Jennifer said quietly, opening TJ's door. "Are you two okay?" "I-I don't know," TJ stammered, one arm around Amber, who was crying, the heels of her palms continuously shoving tears away. "I'll take that as a no," she said, closing the door behind her and sitting on the end of TJ's bed. "What happened?" "He was here when we got home from school, so I sent Cyrus home." "Cyrus was here?" "Yeah, we were going to work on our project for health class. I made him go home, because I didn't want him to get hurt," TJ mumbled. "But I think I might have hurt him in the process." "I'll be back to that later. Did Vince hurt you two?" "N-no," Amber stuttered. "I thought he would, but he just broke a picture frame of you, me, TJ, and Molly." "I'll get a new one," Jennifer promised. "What did he even want?" TJ asked, silently handing Amber a box of tissues. "Said he wanted to raise his own kids," Jennifer mumbled with a shrug. "That's not fair! He broke us, he doesn't get to put us back together again!" Amber yelled, anger seeping into her tears. "I know, kiddo. I said the same thing. Listen, how about I go clean up and make some food? You two probably have a lot of homework after your first day, huh?" As Amber and TJ nodded, Jennifer smiled slightly, standing and leaving the room. She let the door shut behind her with a gentle click, sighing as she walked down the hall. On the kitchen floor next to the fridge lay a shatter picture frame. The wood was splintered, the glass fractured into tiny pieces and spread around the frame. She crouched near the mess, reaching forward to gently pull the still intact photo from the debris. Sighing, she set it on the counter and turned to sweep the glass and wood into a dustpan. When she dumped it into the garbage, she paused to look around their house. She'd fought for years to obtain the life they led, but she knew damn well it wasn't all it was supposed to be. Her kids were her life, but was this life enough for them?

An Honest Warning

It's been three years since I found out I'm schizophrenic. Before this happened to me I had three jobs and I was going to college. I had everything that I wanted and the next day I lost it all in a heartbeat. Just like that I started to hear demonic voices, which I believe are the enemy (aka Reptilians; aka the ever-elusive Illuminati). The voices are still bothering me—they don't stop—they bother me 24/7. Even while I'm typing this they are still bothering me. I write this blog for those reading this, who want to understand my pain and suffering. These voices say things like: He doesn't love God; He's talking shit about God's mother; He wants to have kids with God's mother; He doesn't like his own mother; He thinks his mom is ugly; He's after Kim Kardashian's money—it’s funny because before Kim I was making money and I didn’t care about anybody up ‘til now in my life. Those are some examples and the list goes on. What bothers me is that—believe it or not folks—our Almighty God believes the enemy instead of me but it’s more than that; the people you cherish and adore also believe the enemy. The reason I decided to type this blog is because, believe it or not, our Lord and Savior is coming back a second time and two-thirds are going to hell. The remaining will be away from God's wrath. If you don’t believe me read the Bible. I honestly care about everyone, whether they believe me I couldn’t care less, because those people (celebrities) you love watching on TV are dead and I’m the only one that knows the truth. So, I share this information with you my fellow Americans. If this doesn’t work, meaning it doesn’t wake anybody up, then humanity as we know it will be lost. After numerous events I've become more bitter, self-independent, and a tad bit humbled. Because of God I feel disconnected with my family and friends—being disconnected with family and friends comes with schizophrenia and doctors (the so-called professionals) tell me I’m not schizophrenic but they're wrong. I believe God took me away from work so I could fulfill His will without being distracted by the words of others. It turns out I really am schizophrenic. I read an article a couple of years ago saying that schizophrenia is the gate between the demonic world, and I believe that—like I said—the enemy (aka Illuminati) are in my head as we speak and the only people who believe me are my editor and my boy, Ace Boogie. I consider everyone else to be children of the matrix. What is the matrix, you say? It’s simple: It’s an illusion made by the enemy (aka the global elite; aka Illuminati). I believe you (the children of the matrix) will never get out and when they finally find out it will be too late for them. Again, my fellow Americans, I write this so you can prepare yourselves for the upcoming disaster that is upon us on Earth.           I know what you’re saying: This guy is lying his butt off; or too much sugar in his apple juice; or even worse, he just wants attention. If I wanted attention I’d go to a bar and hit on a girl, but that’s not the case. Laugh at me if you want. Everyone out there has a crush on somebody, or liked anyone for that matter, but for the past two years I have had a crush on Kim Kardashian (lol); the problem is the one you see now on TV is a humanoid. The humanoid is a being with artificial intelligence, but the catch is they need the human brain from the original, and yes—the real Kim died a long time ago—believe it or not—the only reason you would disagree is that the humanoid looks like the real one. After numerous allegations and trust issues I’ve decided to let go of these feelings; the only problem there is that I get racing thoughts to the point that I cannot get her out of mind, and it’s because of this damn curse that has been given to me. Again, let me remind you I never wanted this to happen to me. After numerous times researching schizophrenia I've come to believe that I may be the prophet of the Lord—and I believe this not because of Satan in my head, but because I believe in the supernatural. I will never forget how the Lord called me to carry out his will. I remember it like it was yesterday. I was working in TJ Maxx in Salem, Ma, on Highland Avenue. I had clocked in after my first job, which was Market Basket (also in Salem), tying up my shoes in the bathroom and then—all of a sudden—what I call supernatural, the lights were off for about to two to three seconds. My first thought was: GOD. I went to the hallway to see if any other lights were off and then realized what happened in the bathroom was supernatural. Awesome, right? I think so. The reason I believe in all of this is because in the bible (Malachi 4:5) it clearly says:

Behold, I will send Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. . . . And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

                  In 2010, the Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez (who at some point was alive but later killed by the ever-elusive Illuminati) claimed that HAARP, or a program like it, triggered the Haiti earthquake. The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is, I believe, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Our Satanic Government, however, (aka the Illuminati) are saying it’s in Alaska, but if you believe that then you are part of the problem—hence why I say you are children of the matrix. For those who don't know what the Illuminati is it’s a group of the global elite, the thirteen most powerful families, and their only goal is a New World Order. In other words: to rule over God's children, distract us, and kill us while they're doing it. At this point, I believe I am the only one on Earth right now that's out of the matrix. That means that I don't watch the TV news and I don’t read the morning newspaper because they control the media. They control everything that we do on Earth. They're even spying on us. Believe it or not, it’s true. Everything you do—like, watch movies, sitcoms, TV shows, and anime, even playing video games—is a distraction while they kill more of God's children. For example, the children that go missing every year—the children that we, the American people, do not care about—well guess what, they’re dead. And if you keep up with the I don’t care attitude you will be next. You don’t have to believe me, but when a friend, relative, or family member goes missing—and I mean missing for months and years—it’s safe to say they’re dead, and guess who killed them: again, the ever-elusive Illuminati. The Illuminati are so good at hiding things from us, such as their existence on Earth. But that's because we fall for their tricks, so they deceive us easily. Also, the government we knew, such as Congress, the United Nations, the FBI, the CIA, and IRS, are all dead and the ones replacing them are a mix of Reptilians (aka alien shapeshifters) and humanoids. Every government member and celebrity you love and cherish are dead. You don’t have to believe me, but when the Lord comes a second time you will know and finally realize that I—my fellow Americans—was trying to warn you before it became too late.           If you remember the last speech that JFK gave in his own words:

Even today, there is little threat of opposing a secret society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the future of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it and there is great danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment—that I do not intend to allow to permit to the extent that it is in my control.

For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence—on infiltration instead of invasion—on subversion instead of elections—on intimidation instead of free choice—on guerillas by night instead of armies by day.

It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly-knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific, and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed.

JFK was the best president we had on Earth. He tried to warn us he was killed by a hitman from our Satanic government (aka the Illuminati). JFK knew something that God's people didn't: He knew how corrupted the Federal Reserve was so the Illuminati put a hit on JFK because he was going to dismantle the Federal Reserve.           Now, back to how I have feelings for Kim Kardashian—two things attracted me to her: 1. The sex tape with Ray J; 2. if you remember the internet-breaking pic, it just blew my mind. Ever since then I grew to like her, but now I see her as a fellow sister of Christ, it’s better that way. The reason being the voices (aka Satan) in my head have persuaded Kim, as well as the other celebrities, the angels, and—believe it or not—God to believe what they’re saying is true when it's not. So now, I got to prove to all of them that I need to get back to work for the three-year loss thanks to your so-called Savior Lord Jesus Christ. My yearly income was 16–18 thousand dollars a year. Our Savior owes me $18,000 x 3 = $54,000. He can keep that. I'll make more when I go to school and get my bachelor's degree in business administration, then get a good-paying job. What I'm aiming for is 60–100,000 a year to support myself and my future family and give money to my local church and donate to real charities. And another thing—the charities that you, the people of the United States, have donated to will never go to a good cause. Believe it or not, it’s going to our Satanic government. Now, you’re probably confused at this point and you’re wondering how I know this. All I can say is that God . . . believe it or not, He gave me the holy spirit to discern what's right from wrong. In other words, I'm a little bit smarter than most; and most say I'm crazy, but I'm not.           You know what really grinds my gears? When you say something and no one takes it seriously. I tell you now, my fellow Americans, do not—I repeat—do not listen to Satan (aka Reptilians; aka the Illuminati). If I wasn't getting bypass surgery soon I'd be smoking weed. I have a friend who is waiting for me to go through the surgery hoping that I get my mind out of this GOD vs Satan dilemma. To be honest, how stupid is this? People in heaven have died to the enemy and yet blame their deaths on me. What the fuck? You died. Get over it. You had your chance; now get off my back about it. The enemy is really good at persuading even the good guys. I know it sounds weird, but if you heard voices in your head 24/7 you would believe me. The level of stupidity never ceases to amaze me. It's sad but I'm more motivated to prove to these people—and the enemy (aka the Illuminati) in my head—wrong. Right now, people are easily distracted by them; it's like JFK said: “Mistakes are buried, not headlined.” We as the people need to wake up, unite, and go after the enemy. Before we know it, humanity will be lost. As twelve million Americans know: The United States government is run by lizard people, or to be accurate . . . Reptilians. Reptilians are shapeshifters, they eat us humans, have green scaly skin, have low blood pressure, and have eyes like a snake.           Barack Obama is a Reptilian and hates Israel. Joe Biden, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Ted Cruz, Dennis Kucinich, Donald Rumsfeld—all these people are Reptilians, which means our government is nothing but Reptilians. The Global elite (aka the Illuminati) is led by these thirteen most powerful families in the world that control everything from politics to terrorism. The thirteen bloodlines are said to have unimaginable connections to wealth and power. These families are from everywhere, Europe to China: The Astor, Bundy, Collins, Dupont, Freeman, Kennedy, Li, Onassis, Rockefellers, Russell, Van Duyn, Merovingian, and Rothschild bloodlines. The enemy's master plan is to divide and conquer. They are dividing God's people so during the chaos they can devour every single one of us. Dividing us makes it easier for them. They are planning to leave planet Earth by the year 2020, but I’ve come to believe that they will leave sooner than 2020. Now, this is the good part: our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is coming for his bride (aka the people; aka his beloved children). Sounds good doesn’t it? The only problem is that if you do not believe in the Lord you will pay a heavy price. I will not mention what that heavy price is, but after reading thoroughly you can get an idea of what I mean.           Please understand that I’m only trying to help, but if you choose to live rebelliously then more power to you. Everyone wants to go to Heaven, but in the Bible, it clearly says: “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it” (Matthew 7:13–14). I leave with one more thing; if you plan to see our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ wipe out our Satanic Government (aka the global elite; aka the Illuminati) once and for all say this prayer out loud right now:

Dear God, I want to be a part of your family. You said in Your Word that if I acknowledge that you raised Jesus from the dead, and that I accept Him as my Lord and Savior, I would be saved. God, I now say that I believe. You raised Jesus from the dead and He is alive and well. I accept Him as my personal Lord and Savior. I accept my salvation from sin right now.

I am now saved. Jesus is my Lord. Jesus is my Savior. Thank you, Father God, for forgiving me, saving me, and giving me eternal life with You. Amen!

—R.G.

My fellow Americans, I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ’s Second Coming is upon us. The enemy has already devoured or killed everyone from most third world countries and now their last destination is the United States of America we are the last line of defense before the arrival of the Lord: Jesus Christ. We, as fellow Americans, should stand together and spread the love and knowledge of Jesus Christ. If you choose to ignore my warning all I can say is there will be dire consequences for not listening. You will be targeted by the ever-elusive Illuminati. The enemy plans to leave Earth before 2020—that means they're going to finish off the rest of us. By getting you to believe everything in the media they will manipulate us, the children of the matrix, distracting us long enough to kill the remainder of God's children, humanity’s final survivors.           That’s not the only way the enemy will attack. Our Satanic Government is adding fluoride to our GMOs (genetically modified organisms; aka our food system). Now, fluoride has been approved by “professional doctors”—who I think are either dead or working for the Illuminati—and the FDA—who I also believe are dead or working for the Illuminati. Both organizations have said fluoride is good for you but guess what? My fellow Americans, fluoride is actually extremely bad for you. Side effects of fluoride are abdominal pain, abnormal taste in the mouth (a salty or soapy taste), seizures, diarrhea, drooling, eye irritation (upon eye contact), headache, heart attack, irregular or slow heartbeat, nausea and vomiting, shallow breathing, body tremors, and weakness. When people start dying from fluoride don’t be surprised, because I won’t be. And yet, they tell you fluoride is good for you because they want to keep you blind—to keep you from knowing the truth. If you believe what these “professional doctors” say then you, my friend, are the problem and a child of the matrix.           One more thing, I suffer from depression (from my beautiful mother) and what I do to handle my depression is listen to Kid Cudi, the best MC to listen to when you’re going through depression. I recommend his album Man on the Moon. I hope I get to see him one day.

          My fellow Americans, I know you probably think I despise the Lord, but because we’re getting close to the arrival of the Lord, Jesus Christ, it has become clear to me that God was the only one who had my back from day one; and yes, my fellow Americans, Jesus is my Savior and Heavenly Father. If you are reading this blog, please take care of my family. I believe when I die the Illuminati will target every single one of them. I’ve told them, but they don’t believe me. Let them know that I am the prophet of the Lord and that I simply tried to warn you. “‘Truly I tell you,’ he continued, ‘no prophet is accepted in his hometown’” (Luke 4:24). My fellow Americans, if you want to help then believe the truth of what I'm saying. Wake up others by telling them about this blog. You will discover the truth on Judgement Day and see that—in fact—I wasn't lying to you. I love you all, stay blessed and continue to grow in the knowledge of the Lord, Jesus Christ, Amen. Thank you for hearing me out and reading this blog. It’s given me peace of mind.

RIP: 1988–Whatever Year I Die.

Hello tumblr, it’s me again... I have so many thoughts and not enough words. I had plenty of words to express thinking, pondering,debating on whether to spew my feelings here or just continue to bottle. I chose to attempt to unload my overflowing bottle of emotions. Because why express them it falls on deaf ears or it’s me being dramatic? It’s been awhile, but I’m still the same screwed up hot mess I’ve always been. Maybe more so now than before. Forgive me for neglecting you, trying to let go and move on with out you tumblr. Every one else left and seems to be thriving. Growing up, doing big things, finding themselves. But here I am.. stuck in a what seems to be a never ending rut. Spinning my wheels. The longer this pandemic goes on, the more I see the positive. I’m becoming an extremely bitter, angry person. I feel like my life has become go to work, work, come home, maybe nap or not (more often than not it’s nap), make myself take a shower (if it’s hair washing day, it’s a long drawn out process of dread), stay up to late dreading the next day, work.. The weekends are no more exciting... I’ve been sleeping them away. Yet I’m always tired. Exhausted- emotionally and mentally... more so than physically. I hate being the mask nazi at work. Y’all are grown just wear the damn thing and maybe we can stop wearing them forever from now or so it feels that way. Just like retail, people don’t read. They don’t read forms that were required to have them fill out. They bitch. And I apologize, like I have a choice in whether they do or don’t sign them. Let me just say teachers seem to be the worst at following instructions. Missing stuff, not bringing something, etc. I’m not saying they all are bad. Some people just don’t care. Like do you drive with out your drivers license? It’s illegal. Why come to the doctor with out an insurance card and now a mask? I’m sick of faking it. I’m not happy. Granted now it’s hidden behind whatever fabric pattern I’m wearing that day. I’m more and more anxious in public. I don’t enjoy shopping anymore. I’ve become a male shopper (get my stuff and get out). Browsing and not rushing is a thing of the past, if I even go in a store. Online shopping has been a savior... I get in just as much trouble on target.com as I do in the store. I miss the treasures I could uncover in my almost weekly trips to tj Maxx. Gone are those days, it’s been months since I’ve been there. No desire to go, no energy to make the effort to get there. No energy, no motivation, no desire... I haven’t seen the gym in months. I went back twice maybe since they reopened before they made it mandatory to wear your mask while working out. No thank you. I’m already fat and out of shape I don’t wish to feel like I’m dying behind a mask. Plus the thought of working out with a mask makes me want to hyperventilate. Hell I do that some Mondays after being at home in the house all weekend MASKLESS. Did I feel better when I was in the gym every day or almost every day? Yes. One would ask why don’t you work out at home.. I’ve been trying it, the act of dragging my ass to the gym meant I had to do it since I was there. I don’t know why that mind set doesn’t work at home. Hell I could work out naked if I wanted to at home. NOT that I would. The tanning bed at the gym might motivate me to go back. But I could go and just tan and leave. It might make me feel a little better. Or it could make me feel guilty for not working out too. I want it to get warm so I can walk. But I feel like the pandemic has stole my friend I walked with. I’ve tried talking to her but I haven’t spoke to her since thanksgiving... I guess that chapter is closed, idk... having a friend to walk with was great it was exercise and “therapy”. Speaking of friends... I feel like I don’t have any these days. I legit only talk to my co-workers and maybe one other person on a daily basis. I guess no one misses me or cares. Maybe I’m the failure here... not a strong enough effort on my part. It’s not like we can really go do much. Or that we have much to talk about.

[Given my utter lack of activity of late, I don't expect this to receive any attention, but hey, have some fanfic-of-a-fanfic-that-may-or-may-not-be-like-50k-words-by-now-I-don't-know-what-this-is-apart-from-self-indulgent-bullcrap (lightly redacted so I don't give myself away too much).]

Jay cast his eye over them too, trying to figure out what he was missing, and his eyes landed on something moderately alarming.

"Teej," he said slowly. "Why does Owen have your phone?"

"Ah." TJ rolled the noise around in his mouth before he took another sip of whiskey. "Insurance. So I don't break the rules."

What the hell was he up to? "The rules?"

"Of the game." TJ swept a hand towards the other three. Jay couldn't help but notice that they barely reacted. So they were relaxed, for some reason. Weird.

"You're playing a game?" Jay couldn't help raising his eyebrow again.

"Yup." TJ glanced at him, still with that grin in place. "So they can ask their questions, y'know, without worrying about me lying or whatever. We had to lay down some rules first so everyone was okay with it."

"Right." Jay hesitated, cocked his head. "So what rules are they?"

TJ counted on his fingers. "No hassling Hayward. No insults." He paused, making a show of thinking. "Oh! And no prying into Clark and Hayward's sex life."

Out of the corner of his eye Jay saw colour rise in Clark's cheeks. He didn't pay it much mind, too busy raising both his eyebrows at TJ this time.

"But I take it your sex life is on the table?"

The smile TJ flashed him was closer to his usual smirk. "As a general rule, yeah."

Jay rolled his eyes, taking a step forward to slide his free hand over his shoulder, wrapping his arm around his chest as he bent down to put his mouth next to his ear.

"Which means," Jay said, into TJ's ear but loud enough that the others would be able to hear, "That my sex life is also on the table?"

The Dennis Smith Jr. Edition of ‘Everybody Got a Deal’

‘Who says no?’ is a common question asked amongst the pseudo GMs throughout the world, myself included. Dallas Mavs 2nd year guard Dennis Smith Jr. has essentially exiled himself from the team after reports by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Tim MacMahon of trade talks regarding Smith were ‘escalating.’ It isn’t ideal to be giving up on a 2nd year player with the type of athleticism and upside Smith possesses, but the fit with Doncic has been iffy at best, despite Smith’s improvement shooting from distance and defense. Dallas’ offense stagnates to a stinky bad 101.3 points per 100 possessions when Smith is on the floor vs their typical 108.4 offensive rating. Part of that is Smith going against starting competition for stretches of time, part of it is Smith’s questionable shot selection and repeated pounding of the ball to slow down the offense. Perhaps Dallas would be wise to hold off and not sell low and preach patience with the young point guard, as Kevin Pelton of ESPN wonders what Smith’s values truly is, especially since talks have stalled and Dallas is working on reuniting Smith back with the team, which they now have done, as Smith will return Tuesday, Jan 21 against the Los Angeles Clippers (the ironic part about this is that Dallas could really use him after JJ Barea tore his achilles as someone to take control of the 2nd unit). But to hell with all that, for now. To paraphrase Drake, Every Fake GM Got a Deal, so let’s hit the trade machine and see what we can find for Dennis Smith Jr.

http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=ycejwuvn (DET/DAL/HOU)

DAL gets: Luke Kennard, Glenn Robinson III, James Ennis & HOU’s lottery protected 2019 1st

DET gets: Dennis Smith Jr., Brandon Knight & Isaiah Hartenstein

HOU gets: Reggie Jackson, Reggie Bullock & Salah Mejri

Who says no: Probably Houston regarding the protection standards of the 1st round pick they are dishing out, but Daryl Morey is aggressive when looking for ways to improve the team, and this fills needs the Rockets need filled. James Harden’s usage rate currently sits at 38.8%, which is miles above everybody in the league, let alone his own team. The load is too much to bare to sustain this type of success in the postseason. Not only can Reggie Jackson ease that load, but he also provides insurance for Chris Paul, who has earned the CP 3-6 weeks nickname after all these nagging hamstring injuries. I hear the Rockets have a thing for former OKC Thunder 6th men… Also Reggie Bullock brings the ideal ‘3 and D’ type of skillset Houston so desperately needs, & Salah Mejri can be a solid backup for Clint Capela, who is injured in his own right.

Luke Kennard isn’t the talent Dennis Smith is, but is the sort of secondary playmaker that fits well alongside Luka Doncic and can spread the floor as a career 40.5% 3 point shooter. Glenn Robinson III and James Ennis can help provide Smith may have to play second fiddle alongside Blake Griffin in Detroit, but should get plenty of opportunities to create in Reggie Jackson’s stead. As cap strapped as the Pistons are, they have to get creative to find ways to bring in players with star potential. It isn’t an ideal situation for Smith to land, but its a situation where it is worth the shot for the Pistons to try, especially as they teeter more on the outside looking in of the Eastern Conference playoff race. Also, maybe Brandon Knight, on an expiring deal can get revived back in Detroit again?

http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=yc7ebuwh (DAL/PHX)

Who says no: Dallas may say no if they don’t believe they are getting enough back for Dennis Smith. However, perhaps a change of scenery could help both 2017 Top 10 picks reach their potential. Phoenix is in desperate need of a point guard and is suddenly pretty stacked on wing depth with TJ Warren having a career season, Mikal Bridges, Kelly Oubre Jr. and De’Anthony Melton flanking Devin Booker, who’s game has steadily expanded and improved with the ball in his hands. However, Phoenix’s lack of a point guard has diminished the creativity for Phoenix to fully unleash Booker’s shooting prowess. This could be an area where Smith can help. Maybe Josh Jackson can take off with a change of scenery and give Dallas another long athletic wing they could use to go alongside Harrison Barnes and Dorian Finney-Smith and play the secondary playmaking wing role he filled in Kansas complementing Luka Doncic.

http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=yaczxdqz (DAL/ORL)

Who says no: Orlando because Aaron Gordon may not be worth giving up on to bring in Dennis. Gordon is a little out of position alongside Jonathan Isaac in Orlando, but has steadily improved the last few seasons. Orlando, alongside Phoenix, is one of the teams rumored to be interested in Smith and Smith would finally give Orlando their potential answer at point guard. Not only that, but Orlando would get some remedies with their salary cap space. While Gordon’s money goes down as the contract goes on, they’d get off of the remaining 3 years of Fournier’s contract and get off of Barnes’ contract 2 years before Gordon’s deal expires. Orlando would get a scoring punch to help kickstart the league’s 26th ranked offense and salary cap help, and Dallas would get 3 players who fit alongside Luka Doncic. I don’t think Orlando would agree to it, but it makes sense for both sides.

http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y8lzbem3 (DAL/MIA)

Who says no: Miami because point Justise is having himself a career season, making acquiring Dennis Smith a little bit redundant. However, Dennis presents an upside that isn’t very prevalent on Miami’s roster, outside of Bam Adebayo. Miami’s culture would work wonders to help Dennis kick the bad habits present in his game out and give the Heat another building block for the future, one that they could use with their 2021 first round pick gone to the Philadelphia 76ers. Who better for DSJ to learn from than Dwyane Wade? Very few. Goran Dragic has become expendable with the breakout of Justise Winslow and Dallas could use a point guard to fit alongside Luka Doncic. Who better to get than fellow Slovenian Goran Dragic? They only went on to win Eurobasket together in 2017. Wayne Ellington and Rodney McGruder bring shooting and toughness, respectively.

http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y9jbldox (DAL/NYK)

Who says no: Dallas if they don’t want Tim Hardaway Jr.’s contract. Maybe Dallas wants to horde cap space to go after DeMarcus Cousins in free agency next summer depending on how he looks after his achilles tear. But with Dallas’ spotty free agency track record, it’d behoove them to make upgrades anywhere they can now, and Hardaway would fit very well alongside Luka Doncic. Frank Ntilikina would as well with his stinginess to be able to guard 1-3. New York would unload Hardaway’s contract to free them up to chase after free agents this summer and get a look at whether or not Smith can be a part of their future, similar to the shot they took on Emmanuel Mudiay at last year’s trade deadline, though Smith and Mudiay’s games are fairly similar. However, the salary dump would be the most important aspect of this deal for the Knicks. Smith would just be the bonus.

Hey y’all! Aetna (the worst health insurance company I’ve dealt with) denied my doctor’s Prior Authorization Requests for my inhalers, so I could use some help.  What do you know about appealing health insurance coverage decisions in the US? I think there’s something about asking who made the determination and if there were doctors involved, but I can’t remember the details.  Additionally, do you know how to determine when your open enrollment period is? I am at this point wanting to get away from Aetna as quickly as possible, but apparently even if I am paying the premiums myself out of pocket I can’t get blue shield until it’s an open enrollment period??? I don’t really understand that because I know I’ve seen forms asking like “which of your multiple health insurances are you using for this” so I thought you could have multiple forms of health insurance if you wanted. Health insurance makes no sense and I deeply resent everything about this. Especially Aetna. Resenting the fuck out of Aetna tbh

#the person behind the yarn #tj is in insurance hell #fuck aetna #swearing #medical mention #I've said this before but to reiterate: the swearing tag is not a moral or value judgement against swearing #I just generally don't swear here so I understand people might follow me expecting me to never swear #and my grandma would never use this terminology for it but swearing around her is an anxiety trigger for her #and if it is one for her I assume she can't be the only person in the world #so I tag for it. I tag for all the common blacklisted tags I can think of (like spiders and snakes and stuff) #and all the things that are specific issues for people I know

avoidance of annoyance not always possible part 2

In the category of Shit They’re Fucking Well Old Enough to Know is Wrong and/or Unacceptable (see previous post for an explanation), my neighbor down the street is annoying, but not angering.

Here’s something that is: And I want to preface this by saying I try not to judge individual people, especially friends - that doesn’t mean I don’t have reflexes to do so once in a while, just that I try to examine why and not do it. (I have no problem judging whole swaths of people fixated on something stupid, like Trump voters.) But there are times it’s hard not to do so, and this is one of those situations.

Here’s the short version of the story. I have two friends with a cat; well, who had a cat. Fluffy was an old cat, hardy and apparently able to survive anything. These friends are older than I am, which is to say I expect them to have the same amount of common sense I do. They’ve had financial and job problems for nearly the entire decade I’ve known them, which is to say they don’t have much income to work with, and you know, I get that. It’s fine.

But here’s the thing. This cat had not been to a vet in years, as far as I know. And if my friends were having to choose between eating/paying rent and getting the cat basic vet care, it’d be one thing. But they run constantly. They say they don’t spend money doing it, but I don’t believe that. Gas isn’t free; neither is food away from home (it’s not free at home either, but it is more affordable).

So a couple of years ago this cat started getting pretty skinny. This happens with old cats - my old cat, may he rest in peace, was really skinny a few months before he died despite taking him to the vet frequently and trying to treat his various ailments. But these two didn’t get Fluffy seen to find out if he had something he needed treated (i.e., hyperthyroidism, diabetes, etc.). And in the past several months, they’ve actually been in a better position of both working and could have probably taken him to a vet. But instead, they bought a new car (I don’t mean an updated used car, which they did need; I mean a brand new car) and continued on with planning to go to a con a few hundred miles away, along with other Fun Things To Do.

Last week the cat started having swelling in his legs. Still no vet. Now one of the friends had lost their job just recently, so you try to think, well, damn, less money coming in. (Trying not to judge yet!) But then it comes out they’re still going on their trip next week come hell or high water (how this affects me is I look after their cat when they’re out of town, and vice versa - plus I’m a friend who cares). So I say something to them - “Do you really think you should be going? Yes, you put a deposit on the hotel room last year, but surely there’s more money you’d spend by going for gas, food, remaining hotel time, purchases, than you’d lose by staying home and taking Fluffy to the vet?”

Nope. Everything’s paid for already. Which I don’t believe, but what am I going to say? How the fuck do you pay ahead for gas and food and incidentals that might add up enough to go to the emergency vet clinic in town?

So the cat got much, much worse over the weekend, close to death. He finally got to go to the vet this morning thanks to a donation from another friend of theirs ... to get euthanized. Here are the things in no particular order that bother me about all of this.

1. If you have a pet, as if you have a child, do your very best to take care of them, especially if they’re sick. “Well, you don’t know,” you might say. Yes, I DO know. I spent several years working multiple jobs with no health insurance and no trips to the doctor, no cable, eating maybe 2 meals a day because that’s all I could afford, steadily going further into debt just paying the bills I had to to get by ... and my cat went to the vet every year for shots and when he was sick enough, long enough, to warrant it. At one point I had to stop buying cheap Meow Mix for him and go permanently to a far more expensive brand so he’d stop getting sick. I was single, I had no partner’s income to help, my parents couldn’t afford to help, and I made just a *smidge* too much to qualify for any public assistance.

2. I’m the first to say even poor people deserve some treats. I like my Starbucks; when I was poorer, I liked my occasional cheeseburger and milkshake at the drugstore, or a nice soap from TJ Maxx. I sometimes got a carryout pizza. But none of this ever came at the expense of leaving a visibly sick or suffering pet sick and suffering. If I had to forego something fun, I did.

3. When my cat had a chronic illness and I went out of town for work or pleasure (what few times I did), I made sure someone could look after him and administer his medicine as needed. I was never gone too many days and I checked in to see how he was doing. I don’t expect anyone’s life to come to a halt for their pet, but again, there’s a difference between that and basic responsibilities.

4. What bothers me maybe the most is self-guilt. I don’t have much money right now, but a year, a couple of years ago, I had a little more. And I thought at the time about offering to pay for Fluffy to go to the vet, and I didn’t make the offer - for one reason. I knew if the vet found something chronic wrong with him (as I suspected they would - he had some of the symptoms my old cat had), it would require ongoing treatment and attention and I did not trust his owners to put aside the money needed to do this (even if it was minimal each month) or to rearrange their “running and doing” schedule to provide that care. And in order for this cat to continue to get the treatment he needed, I had a bad feeling I would end up having to foot that bill ... and that, I couldn’t afford, because I have pets of my own I have to look after. So, one vet visit wouldn’t have helped Fluffy very much. But I feel guilty nonetheless.

They’re going to post about losing Fluffy on social media, and garner all kinds of sympathy and virtual hugs, and I’m not begrudging them that. I certainly don’t want to butt in and turn well-wishes away. But part of me wishes those sympathizers knew what I know. And another part of me wishes I could vocalize to them how I feel about it ... but we come back to Shit They’re Fucking Well Old Enough to Know is Wrong and/or Unacceptable.

A Spring Softball Story

By any measure other than wins, runs scored, and runs allowed, it had already been a successful spring season for the legendary Gil's Speakeasy's Box Knockers softball team. A sponsor bar had been found. Four pitchers awaited the team after every game. Four pitchers. Exactly the same amount of different pitchers used in most games by the team. In the dugout, the team continued to insure the future of Irving Park's homeless population by creating dozens and dozens of empty Pabst Blue Ribbon beer cans every week, leaving them considerately piled BESIDE the trash can, for ease of collection, and redemption. Speaking of redemption, the team's second baseman had curtailed the nasty habit of ducking when a double play ball was tossed his way, and had been turning in solid innings all season at the two bag. The uneven dirt area around third base had taken its toll on the team, already having caused two right ankle sprains, in eerily similar slide/don't slide split second decisions. Ironic that third base, a base visited so rarely by the team (at least ON the field), would have had such an impact on this team.

Sunday, May 9th. Mother's Day. The texts started rolling in early. Milon was a no-go. Junior had to visit his mommy and couldn't make it. Carrie, such a staple of this team in right field and at home plate, would be 1700 miles away, in Washington state. And our fearless, vocal, strong kneed Captain and leader, Elliot, would be missing the game.

Four of the players and our dugout manager had just come down from a 6000 vertical foot climb of nearby Mt. St. Helens. Nick was raccoony. Bob had a dress tan and was groggy from his nappy. Josh was fighting a cold. K kept the PBRs full despite a fatigued pouring hand after such a weekend. And Carla... Well, Carla wasn't tired at all. Carla's weariness would later be recognized as a ploy to keep the opponents off guard to her sly base running tactics late in the game.

Help was enlisted. Reedy Dan came strolling in shortly before game time - "I've played softball once or twice." Not like this, Dan. Not like this.

Without guidance from Elliot, last minute changes were made. KJ was moved in to play short center field, even though she's not really that short. A last minute switch putting Josh in the third batting spot and dropping Nick into cleanup would be talked about as perhaps the managerial coup of the day, second only to throwing Scissors in the fourth and fateful Rock, Paper, Scissors round, after three draws. "HOME," we chose, realizing only after choosing that this meant we would get to bat last.

The game begins. The pitcher is getting battered. The batters are getting bitchy. The bitches are getting pitchers, after the game, at Gil's Speakeasy on SE Taylor and 7th.

In the third inning, it’s 15-2, bad guys. A snide comment to the ump from the Box Knockers' dugout: "When do you stop announcing the score out loud?" is answered, seriously, with a sobering, "Now."

A couple calls go the wrong way. One inning at bat for the Knockers lasts about 20 seconds. One inning at bat for the Purple Team lasts about 20 minutes. It isn't looking good. But then, hobbling up the hill comes TJ, crutches and an air cast! Can he really play? Is it possible!? No chance. But he does drink a couple beers and gets to hang out with K in the dugout, so that's cool.

Somewhere around the 5th inning, something is in the air. Nick has taken over mound duty and has fallen into a slow pitch groove. Bob and Brian in the outfield are making plays, catching fly balls! (Sounds easy but you try it, jerk...) Dan shakes off the rust and locks down the right side of the infield. Josh at shortstop makes a play or two without breaking or spraining anything. Liz is digging balls out of the dirt at first base, and Brian cools off the hot corner with a couple strong stops.

The bats heat up. A pre-game comment from a fan - "Is that bat from 1980?" - comes back to mind, as this 30 year old bat starts knocking balls through the legs of infielders, proving that 30 years isn't that old. Nick, swinging lefty, cracks a home run and then runs up Josh's back on the way to home plate. Hustle prevails as our two favorite C words, catchers Caitlin and Carla, reach base multiple times. Brian H. is hitting solid liners, and Dan's unorthodox, Liz inspired running swing seems to be working. Suddenly we've got a ballgame on our hands. It's 18-13, bad guys. It's the bottom of the 7th.

Something else is in the air: thunder and lightning. The Underdog League Commissioner is present and warns us that this game could be called at any moment if there is any sign of lightning in the area.

Famous hardball manager Leo Durocher once said, "God watches over drunks and third basemen." Well, we may not be great third basemen...

But the Box Knockers have paid their dues. They had been to the mountain top, and peered into the steaming, seething crater, and laughed, sipping Mimosas all the while. They had visited their mommies and taken their nappies. Faces were sunburnt, legs were tired, ankles were sprained. Boring graduations were being endured in the name of family. This wasn't just about the 10 women and men out there that day, it was about all Box Knockers, back through history. This was for Elliot, the lifeblood and founder of this team, 4200 miles away in Washington state. For K, passing out the cups in the dugout, meant to disguise the alcoholic nature of the beverage held therein, but, sadly, transparent, and labeled clearly with a COORS LIGHT logo. This was for Alex, the estranged former pitcher and second baseman, long since cut from the roster. For TJ, on the bench, crutches and aircast and beer. For under-appreciated KJ, reliably holding down the outfield week in and week out, and getting solid base hits every game. For Milon, who takes his knocks at second base and some shit from his teammates, but we wouldn't trade him for anyone, unless the right deal is offered next season. And for that guy who showed up one time with Brian, whose name I don't remember but he was wearing a green shirt and weirdly got into the team picture. This was for all of them.

There would be no lightning on this Mother's Day, but around Northwest Portland that day, the reports of thunder would come rolling in from all corners. Some described it as a cracking sound. Some thought it had a sort of 30 year old, aluminum feel to it. I guess by now you've figured out that that wasn't thunder that people were hearing. We're still actually not sure exactly what people were hearing that day, but we do know this: Gil's Speakeasy's Box Knockers started getting some hits.

Down by 5 in the last inning. Brian H. smacks a home run. Caitlin hustles out a grounder to reach first base. Dan gets into the action with a base hit. Brian A. legs out an infield single to keep the inning alive. KJ goes down (if you know what I mean) but goes down swinging. Josh turns in his 5th single of the game, and Carla sneaks home, narrowly beating the throw to cut the deficit to 2. Up steps Nick. 2 outs. Runners on second and third. Down by 2. Well, Nick's having a pretty damn good weekend. He climbed his first mountain the day before, enduring thigh cramps and a beating sun that has turned his forehead the color of Purple Team's t-shirts.

An observer standing on second base, representing the tying run, remembers thinking not merely, "This is going to happen," but actually feeling as if it already had. We had already won. We had been down 15-2 to a team that wasn't drinking any beer, probably hadn't climbed any mountains the day before, likely wouldn't be hanging out playing shuffleboard after the game, and had definitely weeded out some of the weaker players to get a team of folks that had played before, and could play well. But, no matter what happened with Nick's at bat, we had already won because damn it we're a bunch of friends out there on a Sunday having a hell of a good time. That's what I felt standing out there on second base as Nick's hit sailed over my head, then over the head of the right fielder, and that's what I felt as I defiantly stepped on that goddamn third base with one of my two braced ankles, and that's what I felt when Nick crossed home and we all ran over and hugged the team as they poured out of the dugout to greet us. And perhaps it's appropriate that we weren't totally sure if we had won the game or just tied it, but who cares? We had already won by being out there that Sunday, by hustling out the grounders down by 13 runs, by drinking the beer and climbing the mountains and visiting our families and having some fun. And, well, it IS more fun when you win actually as well as figuratively, so that was like icing on the cake. Now, who's coming to Speak?

[whimsically-ominously-auspice]

One thing about Tommy Johnson, Jr is that he is too hard on himself.

He needs to listen to his car. Sure its only a few seconds but he needs to feel and listen to it.

No one can tell him anything about the car. Not even the mechanics.

Say at 50 feet he hears a soft air pop on the left side. Someone can tell him all these words to explain it.

But no one can tell him how to feel it.

Sure there's a list of information like when to pedal and when to do this or that.

But you have to become part of the car in such a way there's nothing in between.

A lot of drivers make bets or talk to God before the race.

But how many prove to God they are able to race?

It sounds impossible to not be part of th3 car flying back and forth at g forces that few have experienced. But you're not part of the car then. Yoire experiencing the reaction of your body to the cars actions.

But you pull the chutes so that's your action

The track's bumps have to become your bumps.

The light has to become your light.

The only way to do that is silence and open of the chakras to envelope the whole experience to be your own.

Anyways. I'm not saying he does it wrong.

Im saying its not that hard.

Im saying he doesn't appreciate the experience. He gets angry at himself for not being able to win all the time.

I know cause he gets angry at me. Most of the time hes pissed off at me.

Also he cares too much about other people and their feelings.

If he wins then someone else loses.

Everyone is going to lose. Everyone but one person.

So if you're going to care too much about others getting hurt for losing then don't be hard on yourself for not winning.

Cruz, does not give one shit. I think Cruz should spend some time with TJ and his make a wish kids. I think it will add depth to his life. And also it will rub off on TJ to relax a little. And im sure the kids will like Hawaiian Cruz. I bet he can think of a lot of fun stuff to do.

Obviously TJ and Cruz can't compete... We all know Cruz doesn't. He just loves his car.

So i don't see any rivalry for him to help out at DSR and it would be Exceptionally wrong for DSR to hate on the little guys. If he needs a reminder he can review comments from "fans"

If DSR really wanted to hate. The PenDragon Boys can totally and very easily get their own kids. Which isnt a bad idea cause thats more kids smiling.

But whats wrong with DSR kids having bigger smiles?

You ever read those stories where runners competing in a marathon pick up a collapsed runner and carry them to the finish line?

Every single child is a collapsed runner. Even if they're fine.

So everyone should work together,

And if Don Schumacher has a problem with this idea. He should thank Leah for begging me to teach her love (🍼more than 2x is begging) Terry and I and others all told him Leah on the team was a bad idea.

So dont make the old girl roll in her grave and haunt a fellow. Thats your own doing.

I am after all giving TJ, A DSR Team member advice. And we all know i hate DSR, as a whole, not individually.

The NHRA is a whole. Then there are teams.

Team DSR, JFR, CAPCO, etc

But first you were all Team NHRA and still are, prostock, promod, funny car, top fuel, alcohol cars, old style cars. All Team NHRA.

So if you cant see what you have in your own community to love, you will never know God or love.

I know a lot of y'all are afraid to win cause you know what it is like to lose. And that's why I don't say much about no one trying hard enough or in the right way.

But y'all must realize that we know that you actually do care.

People do win. And it's because they want to. I would win. No way would i feel bad for someone else losing.

I would for real be all "man that was fun, celebration tonight, come over"

Okay so I know a lot of people I would be all haha, bitch. Fuck off. But at least until i got to know them, i would celebrate with them.

Thats why i have a muerte or 5. Cause I'm an idiot like that.

But why, love thy neighbors (Don Schumacher has a church on Sundays) if you cant love thy car next to them?

Promod used to do final 4 drivers and their families, and mechanics but it got too expensive and time on Sundays.

So why not Friday sometime breakfast or brunch? Start the weekend off right. Remembering fun, winning and the spirit of racing. The joy of the adrenaline.

Or maybe instead do extra charity work together. I think that would be a lot better.

More smiles. More opening of that heart chakra giving the lungs more,room to expand,and breathe freely.

I single out some people But this is for everyone.

Alexis did a mammogram van.

DSR does kids

Some do military.

John got someone a house and other things.

Poor country kids, inner city kids, single parents, kids with parents in jail, doctors, nurses, give free sinus xrays or skin damage exams and give away sun screen. Do free checking on moles.

And i really don't think that the cost should come out of TJs pay, Don. It was Leah running her mouth in your meeting that pissed him off. So you should take it from her pay.

I want to remind you that while some will give you Earth praise believing you're a good person. You're going to burn in Hell when you die for being a greedy piece of shit. Cause really. You don't have enough money to help a raging alcoholic go to rehab? Your insurance will pay for you to go. But not everyone has insurance.

Why don't you use the money your church gets from the collection plate on Sunday?

Anyways.

As i explained before. It is impossible to teach love.

Cognitive Dissonance

       I wake up in my college dorm, once again drenched in sweat - a common occurrence these days. An outline of my body is molded into the sheets and mattress. I put my headphones into my ears, turn on my iPod and play a song that is chock full of melancholy and sadness. I walk into the conjoined college bathroom, splash water onto my face and just look at my reflection in the mirror. A stranger looks back at me.

       I grew up in an abusive household. My father is an alcoholic with a bad temper, and the alcohol only exacerbated his verbal abuse toward my mother, my younger brother and me. It was an onslaught of being called, “stupid”, “ugly”, and even one time he called me a “tramp”; I was only 13 years old at the time. I spent the majority of my life in extracurricular activities, from playing club soccer to Catholic Sunday school classes.  Pretending you didn’t live in an abusive household was pretty exhausting, feigning happiness became an art form of sorts. This one particular occasion that stands out was in my 7th grade gym class. I remember how my face felt awkward when I smiled and laughed. When I got home that evening I examined my face when I smiled: the left side of my face was slower than the right. When I blinked my left eyelid took a few seconds longer to match the right in movement. When I drank water, the water dribbled out of the left side of my mouth, when I flared my nostrils only the right side would flare out the left stayed motionless. I remained relatively calm when I brought my mother into my room to look at this anomaly. She took me to the doctor the next day and I was diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy, which in my case, was related to stress. This was not one of those moments where we tell the doctor the type of abuse we endure day to day. I took my prescribed medicine and moved on with my life.        Major Depression Disorder affects more than 16.1 million American adults, or about 6.7% of the U.S. population age 18 and older in any given year. [1] When I was a freshman in High School, I began having anxiety attacks during the day, it was as if there was a large weight on my chest and I felt my heart slow down. Normally these attacks would happen at night. I would be lying in bed, trying to fall asleep, but then I would see the walls start caving in around me. It would feel as if my body was being pinched between two fingers, a hard thing to describe. I had the impulse to jump out of bed and begin walking as fast as I could, sometimes I would I have to go outside so I can take a deep breath with fresh air in it. I would mention these events to my Mother but I think she just found it odd but nothing really came from my telling of these anxiety attacks. I don’t believe she really knew much about depression and anxiety, or at least, she didn’t put a label on it.        My freshman year of college was out in Brenham, Texas, just an hour north of Houston. I was pretty excited to live on campus because that meant I was going to be far, far away from my Father. However, the loneliness I felt while I was there took me by surprise. Growing up, I had no problem sitting in my room reading a book. I wasn’t very social outside of my sports playing and church-going activities. I suppose my being holed up in my dorm room, outside of going to class, wasn’t the healthiest option. My roommate was cordial and on the occasion would include me when her friends came over to study. I found it must more pleasant when she would go home for the weekend, some peace and quiet, for me to collect my thoughts. There was a night that my roommate was away and I was feeling so sad. I was frustrated that I wasn’t doing well in any of my classes that weren’t electives, I missed my dog, and strangely enough my home. I began thinking about what would happen if I decided to kill myself. What were the pros of no longer existing, anywhere but here would have to be better; even as a God-fearing Catholic I was willing to take those odds of being sent to Hell for suicide. I put a large amount of my depression medication in my hand and put it up to my mouth to ingest but I couldn’t do it. I thought about how much my death would destroy my Mother, how much she has gone through with my Father and how she didn’t deserve to endure pain by my hand.        I withdrew from Blinn College in April 2007, moved back home, my parents got a divorce, and I just began working full time. Since I was making some money from working so much I moved out of my Mom’s home and started working three jobs at the mall. I was so busy living a 21-year-old lifestyle I didn’t have time to dwell on my sadness. I still have major depression that rears its ugly head when I’m overwhelmed by work but I put on a happy face to power through. What else can you do? ________________        You begin routines to push you from sunrise to sunset. The industry I work in has the “same shit different day” attitude, I work as an estimator for a body shop. Dealing with the aftermaths of peoples hardships; their loss is my gain. Customers and insurance groups don’t see the monetary benefit I see from damaged vehicles that cost thousands of dollars to fix. However, when dealing with that amount of money from various companies across the country can become very stressful. Paperwork, the quality of work you need to sell back to the owners of those vehicles, and the hassle of collecting payment from insurance companies that might feel they don’t have to pay for certain items.        I have worked for three different body shops around the city of Houston and each one has the same type of coping mechanism: drinking alcohol and ingesting various types of drugs. When I first began in the automotive industry I was still “green”, which was just another term for being new to the field. One of my co-workers, Josh, had anxiety issues and took a high dosage of clonazepam[2] which can help with panic attacks but can also lead to suicidal thoughts, memory loss, and drowsiness. Josh would give me a pill or two to take when he could see I was having a rough day. Normally after a long work week, my co-workers and I would buy a bottle of Crown Royal and hang around the shop for a majority of the night. Josh would tell me, “Fuck it, this job sucks anyway” and we would take a clonazepam with a glass of whiskey.        One afternoon I couldn’t handle the clonazepam I took. I honestly can’t remember how many I took, but I remember having a major panic attack. I couldn’t stop crying or saying how much I wanted to die. It was enough that my manager at the time asked me if I wanted to go to the hospital and...I don’t remember how I got to the emergency room. After I was evaluated, my Mother and Step Dad showed up at the hospital and talked with me about what I was feeling. I was put in an ambulance and taken to a mental institution and held there for 7 days. This was a completely different type of outcome than my attempt at attempted suicide some 6 years prior. You have a routine from sunrise to sunset in that hospital. Nurses wake you up around five in the morning to take your blood pressure, take your meds, and then back to bed only to be woken up again at eight in the morning for breakfast. It was an interesting system to be in because of the different types of health issues you personally get to be involved with. My first night there I was woken up to a woman screaming for her cigarettes. Some of those women coming off of meth or heroin can’t miss an opportunity to smoke or else they will fight a nurse.        This hospital was split between men and woman when it came to breakfast, lunch, dinner, and quiet time. You can’t spend too much time mingling with the opposite sex. I did notice a younger, dark-haired, Hispanic guy who couldn’t have been more than 25 years old. He was manic-depressive; the way he would just stare off into the distance but he had a look in his eyes that just seemed empty and lifeless. I would try to talk to him but he wouldn’t really say much of anything, hardly a grunt of acknowledgement. The other guys would say “he’s too quiet” and “very weird”. I saw something in that manic-depressive guy that I was so afraid to see in myself. I couldn’t shut myself off completely like that. I had one of my best friends from the body shop, Chris, come and visit me. He asked me, “How long are you gonna be held up in here? This place feels creepy, almost like jail but cleaner.” My best friend has been in county jail for street racing so I could see where he was coming from. “I don’t know when they’ll let me out of here. Once I have my evaluation and the doctors think it’s safe for me to go home.”, I told him. Chris had such a look of pity and confusion on his face and in his eyes. I’ve always been honest with Chris about my depression but he could never quite wrap his head around the issue of me just feeling sad. After 5 days in that hospital, I was ready to fake being happy. I missed my home, my dog, and fresh air from outside of those walls. On the 7th day, I was released. My Mother came to pick me up from the hospital and as soon as we drove away from the building I started crying. A cry of relief, of shame, guilt, and happiness to be free.

________________

I was fired from my job at the body shop a month after I returned to work from getting out of the hospital. I honestly can not remember my final month at the shop. I am fairly certain they kept my workload to a minimum. When I was let go it was the shop foreman, TJ, that brought me into the manager's office, “I’m sorry, Ashley, but we’re gonna have to let you go. Clean out your desk. You’re done for the day.” No one is a fan of being fired and I remember feeling calm at first as I packed up my desk and said my brief goodbyes to Josh and Chris. As I was leaving though I saw TJ again and that was when I started crying and he hugged me. Apologizing. So only a month away from my hospital stay and I was home alone with only my dog and bills I couldn’t afford. This was November 2013, just a week before Thanksgiving. Ah, what to give thanks for? It actually took over four months for me to find a job as a receptionist at a moving company and over a period of six months, I was promoted to an accountant. Thus began my love for accounting, or more specifically the love of counting money. During this time I also started having a friends with benefits relationship with my current boyfriend. I have not had another major depressive episode since working at the body shop. When I told my boyfriend, Jonathan, about the mental hospital I was in he was very supportive. One of his best friends, Clayton, was in a mental hospital for three weeks, I have actually spoken with Clayton concerning this and he describes how generous Jonathan was, “Jonathan would come and visit me almost every other day just to see how I was doing. He was the only one of our friends who would do that. Jonathan is one of the kindest guys you’ll ever know.” All of that is true. On me and Jonathan’s second anniversary, he told me how he really feels about me, “When I look at you I see someone that’s felt sadness and hard times just like me. I see someone that hasn't quit. Someone that hasn’t compromised being themselves.” Knowing you live with this overwhelming amount of sadness inside of you and having to carry the burden of that knowledge alone is tiring. To have someone by my side through toughs times is very helpful. My family has all but moved to other sides of the state or out to other states so seeing them becomes more difficult. I’m not one to attempt contact with friends. I prefer to be alone so my old friends are just distant memories. My dog passed away a couple years ago so it was tough waking up alone and not having someone to get you out of bed every morning. However, having Jonathan, even his cat Pablo has made a home with us, is a blessing I would have never known I deserved or needed. I have found my way back into the body shop business. I have learned from past mistakes and I don’t drink on the job or do any drugs; which is funny to even say considering that should be a give-in with any job. I came back into this industry because I know it pays and I already know the routine it asks for. I have worked at this particular shop for over a year and I have come home crying from stress more than twice but I had Jonathan to catch me as I am falling. However, I find myself drinking just a little bit more every day just to get out of the reality of my current workload. I know though that the harder I work and more accounts I take in the more money I can make, which has paid for the college classes I am currently taking, and the car I am saving up to buy. To keep me from making my past my present I try to keep up a healthy lifestyle with exercise and eating correctly. Running helps create dopamine which creates happy feelings.[3] Although as I’m running I just wonder what it would be like to run away from everything I currently hold dear and never look back; I don’t think I could do that. ________________ [1] Facts & Statistics, Anxiety and Depression Association of America, ADAA, 2018, adaa.org/about-adaa/press-room/facts-statistics.

Need help with health/dental insurance!?

Why am I quoted so high for auto insurance?

Recently I have been shopping around getting online quotes for auto insurance in hopes of getting better rates. Sadly that is not the case.

I do live in Detroit, so I am accustomed to higher rates but this is crazy. I have never made an insurance claim. I had one minor traffic ticket 3 years ago(no turn on red). I have had continuous coverage from my current provider for 4 years. What could the problem be. Is it possible to get the insurance companies I quoted with to give me information on why they quoted me at the rates they did. This has been incredibly disheartening.

According to Capital One, this is too high and has to be lowered back down to $1000 or less.

""Health insurance for young, healthy people?""

I'm trying to find a health insurance plan made for someone like me- 26, male, non-smoker,non-drinker, currently at ideal weight, regularly exercises, no health conditions, no prescriptions, etc. I mostly want something that'll cover check-ups with maybe a small co-pay, and then has a high deductable for a broken bone/ sports injury etc. Everything available at my job seems to cater to the chronically ill/ older/ heavy prescription user. private plans are to much per month. This is why I decline medical benefits, year after year! I know any of these plans would be helpful in the case of serious injury- just in case. But none seems to offer any tangible benefits like, I don't know, 2 doctor visits a year? Every plan requires that I exhaust my deductable first- I'll never spend 250-1000 a year for doctors visits! I'm guessing, based on cost that a high deductable plan is best for my broken bone scenario- but how can then screw me out of seeing a doctor just to get a check up?""

My insurance company doesnt want to pay!!?

I was struck by an uninsured driver on 02-10-11. Because the driver who struck me was uninsured I was forced to file a claim with my insurance company(Omni Insurance). The car was towed to CJ's collision at 6128 n beechwood Philadelphia, pa ,19138 on 02-11-11. Phone number 215-848-2836. On 02-14-11 Omni insurance sent out an appraiser to evaluate the vehicle. They then faxed an estimate on 02-15-11 totaling $5300 to CJ's collision shop. I went to the collision shop on 02-15-11 to sign paperwork giving them permission to work on my car. They then began the repairs. On 02-18-11 the insurance company then deemed my car a total loss. The vehicle is a 2005 Nissan Altima SL with 96,477 miles. The NADA value for the vehicle is 10,995. According to Omni insurance a car is deemed a total loss when the repairs reach 70% of the value of the vehicle. Omni insurance valued my car at 7,415. They then proposed a settlement offer of 5826.40. They deducted 975.00 in prior damages(which I disagree with) and 1000.00 my deductible. The settlement offer included 386.40 in sales tax. After negotiating on 02-28-11 they proposed an offer of 7835.30. The value they gave my car was 9255. Again 975.00 was deducted and my 1000.00 deductible. They including sales tax and tags/registration fee in the offer. I accepted the offer out of desperation because they also stopped paying for the rental car I was driving on 02-28-11. I work, attend school and have a child my schedule requires that I have a car so I paid out of pocket for a rental car until 03-07-11, expecting the payment to be issued to my lien holder by then so I could purchase another car. I contacted them on 03-07-11 inquiring about my payment and was informed they did not pick the vehicle up from the collision shop therefore they were not issuing a payment. The collision shop gave them a bill of 1750.00 for the repairs they did and the storage fees. The insurance company disagrees with this and refuses to pick the vehicle up and issue my payment. They have also stated this may come out of my settlement offer. The insurance company already has the title to the car and all the necessary paperwork to the vehicle but refuses to issue a payment. It has been a month since I filed my claim and I can no longer afford to pay for a rental especially since it seems I will have to purchase a new vehicle. The insurance company is low balling me and also forcing me to pay for repairs they approved then backed out of.""

Women pay more for healthcare insurance?

It appears women pay more for insurance than men even if they're the same age. Insurers say this is justifiable because women tend to have more health risks than men especially after they give birth (urinal incontinence). Here are some of their reasons: -women tend to go to the doctor more and get check-ups every year whereas men do not -even if the insurance doesn't cover maternity care, some states mandate that insurance covers complications of pregnancy Not all insurance covers maternity care but it still costs more either way: -In Ohio, a woman pays 49% more than men of same age -In Texas, women pay 39% more from the state insurance pool -Nebraska is 32% more on average What do you think of this? Do you think it's justifiable to charge one sex more than the other because of potential higher risks? Or do you think that both genders would have to given the same costs? http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/30/us/30insure.html?scp=1&sq=healthcare%20policy%20women&st=cse""

Can the insurance do this? Car insurance.?

I was in a wreck a few weeks ago. The lady who rear ended me has the same insurance as I do. I filed a claim and a fellow church member owns a body shop. I asked him to do the work, he agreed. But, the insurance claims that they will not give him a check until he can order the parts in advance. That is way too expensive and can they really expect him to order these up front? It makes me VERY angry that they could be so stupid and negligent to make him order them up front. He said that he does not have that money to be ordering my parts up front. Can I turn them in for this? They really are messing up.""

I'm 16, I got in a big car accident.. I flipped over my car twice. Fortunately, I was untouched and I was the only one involved. Naturally, I was taken off the insurance policy and lost my car.

My dad said $2000 for a full year but it can't be that much? Will they strip me of my good student discount? How much will it cost to be put on as a part time driver now? Will it go down after a year? Will the insurance go up a lot? It won't go up as much as it would otherwise since I was the only one involved and there was no property damage, right?

Car insurance for teen drivers?

Hey everyone! First off, if you're wondering why I'm not using online quotes to see how much car insurance would cost, its because it requires personal information of both my parents that I can't ask for without sounding suspicious (my dad told me not to search since I asked before). Also, in order to get the auto insurance quote, you have to leave contact information so an agent can contact you and initiate your quote , which is something I don't want. I'm a newly licensed teen, got it around the middle of December 2013. I've had my permit for about 8 months before that. My dad told me to wait a bit before I can start driving since car insurance rates is higher for teen drivers, and I agreed. I was wondering how long I had to wait? My dad told me over 1 year to a few years, but sometimes 6 months works. I was baffled, if that was true, there was no point of getting my license since I would most likely be in college by the time I was allowed to be insured. Does car insurance rates really lower down with waiting time? And if so, approximately how long would it take? My auto insurance company is State Farm, and my family has 3 registered vehicles and 2 registered drivers of over 15 years (my parents). I'm 16 years old, and I qualify for the good student discount and steer clear safe driver discount, and my parents qualify for the multiple line discount car insurance and have never had any driving violation in the past three years. If you could estimate the range of how much more my parents have to pay for car insurance if I become insured on my car (which is older than me lol) without waiting, and how long I would have to wait for rates to go down, that would be great.""
