Is “pressure on my bladder” too close to just saying it?

I just went through this battle myself. And my insurance even approved it, but I’m traveling overseas for two months and even though they tell me my benefit covers a “vacation override” they wouldn’t approve it.

I asked the pharmacy how much it would cost to pay out of pocket. $1300 for 4 weeks, so $2600 to cover my trip.

Luckily my Dr was able to give me “samples” to get me through my trip.

Also, another thing that I learned in the past year. What your insurance will cover and how much they’ll cover changes depending on your history.

Spend a three day weekend in the ER/ICU and suddenly I DO need Ozempic and they’re giving me thousands of dollars worth of CGMs for free.

It’s all a cost/benefit analysis for them.

They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor”

Every election year is the year you should vote for “other candidates” in the primaries.

That is how you work to reshape a party you’re not happy with.

Luckily primary season is here now so go make your voice heard!

They take some getting used to but I absolutely adore mine. I don’t find mine to be noisy but I’ve also found mine has help reduce the amount of repositioning I do at night.

Sure - if their point was “fascists have always been fascists” then I agree; who wouldn’t? But that’s not what the article or discussion was about.

 

Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota formally announced her campaign for governor on Thursday with a call for unity and decency in her troubled state, which has been roiled by political violence, President Trump’s immigration crackdown and widespread protests after two killings of Minnesotans by federal agents.

Ms. Klobuchar, a popular Democrat with a history of winning by double-digit margins, has spent nearly two decades in the Senate as a common-sense centrist with a folksy demeanor and a carefully cultivated history of bipartisanship.

Now, with her run for governor, the self-proclaimed “senator next door” is gambling that her message of moving past partisan divides can still work even amid one of the most volatile domestic conflicts of the second Trump administration.

 

With Tim Cook’s persistent support of the Trump administration and mealy mouthed finger-wagging regarding ICE, consider joining me and others in voting against TIm’s position on Apple’s board of directors.

 

A federal judge ordered agents not to retaliate against people “engaging in peaceful and unobstructive protest activity” in the state and not to stop drivers who are not “forcibly obstructing” officers.

A veteran jazz ensemble and a New York dance company have canceled events at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, intensifying the fallout at one of the nation’s pre-eminent arts centers after it was renamed to include President Trump.

The center had previously promoted two New Year’s Eve performances by the Cookers as an “all-star jazz septet that will ignite the Terrace Theater stage with fire and soul.” But those performances, like an annual Christmas Eve jazz concert hosted by Chuck Redd, are now canceled.

The Cookers did not give a reason for the decision in a statement on Monday that said, “Jazz was born from struggle and from a relentless insistence on freedom: freedom of thought, of expression, and of the full human voice.”

But the band’s drummer, Billy Hart, told The New York Times that the center’s name change had “evidently” played a role. He acknowledged that the group was concerned about possible reprisals.

 

Folks - I need help.

I bought the UDR7 router during the Black Friday sale just to see what the hype was about and since then I’ve already placed multiple orders for hundreds of dollars of equipment. As we speak I have a cart full of over a thousand dollars more equipment that I’m on the cusp of submitting and and there is no end in sight.

If there is anyone out there who can talk me out of this rabbit hole I fear this may be the last chance for salvation

The cyclists arrive at sunrise, rolling through Chicago’s Latino neighborhoods and stopping at tamale carts, elote stands and candy stalls. They buy out every last item — every tamale, every corn cob, every bundle of sweets. Then they load up the food and deliver it to shelters and families in need
