any other details? what's your relationship with said business? how much do you feel is owed? what did they do to humiliate you? and they made 2k? profit? or gross?

think you're screwed but could but maybe I'm overlooking something? why would they pay you now? why didn't you get paid when you did the work? was money ever talked about?

he's the same age as you. He's not jamming to nsync tho. lol. My ex gf (from high school and college) loved nsync. she went to concert way back when. I used to tease her about it all the time. I actually bought her a baseball cap that said nsync on it but the thing actually lit up. lol.

There's so many - Usher, black Street, Ginuwine, Tyrese, Brandy, Mya, Monica, Ray J, R Kelley.. Those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Those are more of the singers. but then you have like - LL cool J, Little Kim, Cassidy, Big Pun, Fabulous.

Idk. I can go all day. lol. Hope some of those help. if not just ask and I'll throw some more out there. Guess you can always use like I heart radio or Spotify and it'll make a radio station for you.

imagine how old people feel.. lol. it's the same with Rap. Rap, hip-hop,and r&b from the 90s thru the early 2000s were my jam. some of the new stuff is ok. You'll get some catchy songs here and there. But definitely not like it used to be. Idk wtf happened but it's definitely changed. The stuff my step son and some of my coworkers listen to is just absolutely terrible. I thought I was just getting old. It seems like most people prefer the music they grew up to. idk if it'd nostalgia or what. But it's good to hear young guys/girls like it too. My step son actually started coming around to it recently. It's funny bc he'll be listening to something and then is somehow suprised that I know the lyrics. Like I was always and old Fk. lol. I'll be 85 yrs old in a retirement home jamming to biggie.

What's the latest stuff you've been jamming to? gimme some examples

ok. but food isn't free. if you went to the store and made it yourself you would have spent some money. Sure, it's cheaper but it still may have cost you $300. And then how much time did you save not going to the store. not cooking. not cleaning. There's only so many hours in the day. It's expensive but your not $500 in the hole. It might have cost you $200 for the convenience and the time you saved.

Ya - it's disgusting. If you're not filthy rich you're absolutely Fkd. They take advantage of sick/desperate people. And they don't even give a FK. They'll just let you suffer. Even if you have insurance they'll just decide they aren't going to pay for whatever medication or procedure. Nope. Sorry.

On a seperate note - have you seen that CostPlusDrugs thing Marc Cuban has? It's all over social media. Some of the claims are a little bit unbelievable. It's a generic drug company that only takes cash - no insurance. People are making these crazy claims that they were paying 5k a month thru their insurance provider and are now buying it off cost plus drugs for like $100/month cash (with no insurance). I told my sister about it - she has some prescription allergy med that was like $100/month thru her health insurance. She's paying like $9/month now (for the generic). So if what these people are saying is true, how it's it legal for these drug companies able to mark up these drugs so high? People are desperate and have no choice to pay it. You'll literally pay anything. They're preying on people. That shit should be illegal imo.

Healthcare in America is soooooo FKd. I cringed just reading your post and I don't really want to even get into it bc I get really angry.

Medicare/medicaid is Fkd. I had no experience nor any idea how any of it worked. My mom had dementia, was on Medicare and had a supplemental insurance policy. She needed long term care so Medicare refused to pay. Put her on medicaid (no big deal is what I thought). Thing about medicaid is that they do not pay a dime until you're absolutely broke. They do a discovery and take everything you have. They drained her savings, her checking, cashed out all her retirement money, stocks. They took her car. They took her house. Then they took her social security checks every month. Once she was sucked dry (minus 8k that you're allowed to keep to pay for your own funeral) they finally started making the payments). Keep in mind she had a supplemental policy this whole time too. Anyway - she passed away and my family got a bill from medicaid for 120k. We didn't have to pay it - but if there was anything they had missed or if she had a life insurance policy that was left to her estate then they'd take that too.

Loophole - if you have a beneficiary listed on the life insurance policy then medicaid can not take it. But if there is no beneficiary listed then the policy goes to the estate and its fair game and medicaid will take that too.

Also - she had a safety deposit box. A lawyer had to go there and open the box - inventory anything in it - and if there is anything of value (cash, gold, jewelry) they'll take that too. No wonder why older generations put cash in jars and buried it in their back yard. They literally took everything.

Total different experience - my step son has mental health issues. He went and stayed at a facility for 6 days. When he got out we started receiving all sorts of different bills. They billed it all seperate. The facility gives a bill for the room. Then the Dr's bill is seperate. Then medication is separate from that. Just the room for 6 days - 44k.. JUST THE ROOM was 44k FKIng dollars. That's more then some people make in a year! that's roughly $7500 a day. Or think of it this way - it's over $300/hr. He didn't have surgery. He wasn't on a ventilator or on life support or needing a team of surgeons. Just FKing crazy.

And then my wife went to the hospital one day - she sat in the waiting room for 9 hours.

See - I'm getting worked up. I could go all night but I just need to stop. I get so freaking upset about this.

Ear buds are your friend. Whenever I'm doing some crappy chore - mowing the grass or raking leaves or cleaning the house I turn on music or a radio show I listen to. It's the only way I can get thru it. If my headphones run out of battery I literally cannot do it. lol. That's it for me. I'll take a break, maybe get something to eat while my ear buds charge back up. and then ill go back to it later. It's not even optional at this point.

How is it worse then physical stalking? I'm genuinely curious as to how thats possible? I think I'd much rather have someone stalk me online then be sitting outside my house waiting for me to come out. And then following me to work. and then to the grocery store. I don't get this at all

the thing about the gym is - it keeps you motivated. and it forces you to work out. yes it's a hassle going there bur once you're there - you're there to work out. if you're at home it's easy to push it off or get distracted. Not to mention - you have a much wider variety of excersises you can do at the gym. plus you're taught technique. and many people enjoy the social aspect of it. since cobid shutdown many people have been locked inside their homes and don't get out enough. getting a few weights might work for some but I think for most people they just sit in the garage and never get used.
