Thanks for the advice. I’m already working with my bank on the debit card issue. I don’t use credit cards, just a personal choice. It’s not worth lawyering up for two outdated monitors. Of course there is an appeals process, and there are other contributing factors that may relieve me from liability, but having been an investigating officer for similar losses in other organizations on the installation there could be a good chance I’m found liable. I signed for the property, and I didn’t take appropriate measures to protect it. I could have told my boss to pound sand, either he signs for the monitors (which was supposed to happen but never did) or I being the back to my office where I can control access. Of course I’m trying to be a team player and I caught it in the ass - again. After 40 and a half years working for the Army as a Soldier and civilian this isn’t the first time the big green weenie has screwed me. The irony is that the Army has failed multiple audits and has lost accountability of billions of dollars of equipment but they will hold my nuts over the fire for $400 worth of equipment. I truly appreciate everyone’s support and advice. I’ve played this game before and I was caught up in the anger of the moment. The past two weeks have been successive kicks in my crotch and it gets tiring. Thank’s everyone.

You should take another look at credit cards. There are many choices with collectible points and no annual fee. You have 30 days to pay and avoid interest on your charges. It is the same as spending cash only it is their cash. With quicken it does give you a simple way to document every transaction.
And yes my experience as SME to .mil was very frustrating. All kinds of required checks and balences that cost time and money only to find it wasn’t balanced and the deviation partially documented.
Elon and Vivek sound like a great idea. But they won’t have the clearance for the clearance necessary to get to the bottom of it. Those who do will continue to protect what they think they have.

Absolutely! Although I tend to keep my phone in the "bra pocket!" However, after learning about @Noor's mishap, I make sure to place it battery side out. Mine is always in a wallet case, also.

Mine was in a case.if you phone starts feeling hot at all, move it to a different place. The burn is still healing, and it was deep. It looked ok in the 3d mammograms though.

Ouchie!
I thought all we had to learn the hard way was why to wear a robe when frying bacon.

We had a "come to Jesus" meeting last week. Seems it didn't take. I'm ready to deploy The Bitch!

This kind of stance always makes me think of Chopper in Stand By Me

 

[likes2watchU]

I do apologize. Not an excuse for my mistake, but I am still trying to find my way. I thank you for setting me on the correct path. Won’t happen again.

Thanks. We appreciate it.
Happy to have you stick around if this sort of thread appeals to you.

It always takes us out of our comfort zone when we have to make changes like this. I changed my healthcare insurance for 2025. Now I will have to figure that out!

My mom told her doc that she is at her quota for learning new stuff so don't expect her to use mychart. If you need something....call

 

[Missk_2022]

OMG! No way could I do that job!

Me either .

Me too. I swore i would never use my bra...but I lied because I do.... handy and easy to reach in case of a mishap

 

[Missk_2022]

I like the post it note on the mirror. Thanks!

If you need to remember to take something with you put your keys with it.... I used to forget my lunch so my keys went in the fridge.....hahahaha

 

[Missk_2022]

Have you tried a heated eye mask? That might help.

I have one if you need me to send it. Got from the eye doc and the inserts are re usable. Also comes with cold pacs

Thanks, Wat! I knew one of you men would shut him down. Although it will be very entertaining to see how OM eviscerates him! 🗡

Where is OM?...she must be busy

 

[Missk_2022]

We talk. He's frail but his hair is still pretty good. He purrs if it suits him. He doesn't seem to be circling the drain. I check on him several times a day. He's still eating and drinking. I kinda think that I'll go in to check on him and he'll have slipped away in between, kinda like she did one night five years ago.


Meanwhile, TDK just tore through here again . . . .

Sweet geezer.... tdk probably is entertaining for him....or maybe he looks at her with disdain like an old gentleman would

 

[Missk_2022]

Wonderer is too nice.


Wat is more . . . "charming" . . . .

Hahahaha...this cracked me up

Welcome to the neighborhood bar where we talk about everything.....and are fiercely protective of eachother.....

Here you go Lilli…I guess I should have asked how you want to use this first, but this new WiiM pre amp, streamer allows you to put a USB in back so you can catalog your music. They have a couple of Different platforms (I like the Ultra) and will probably ask Santa for that…. Everyone is very excited about this thing in the HiFi world. At least all the reviews are pretty good.

Soooo…need a nurses advice…I’ve had a pain under both scapulas for a little over a month. Went to the Ortho doc yesterday and had X-rays. Spine looks good but they now want me to go to a Cardio doc for more X-rays to rule out aneurisms?. The PA said back pain can be a side effect of that…Thorasic something or other? First question…how concerned should I be? Second, is this more that I’ve turned into a slug as of late and not getting enough exercise? Don’t want to be buzzard bait yet!

On that nice note…some MZ…

I would ask that lillianna weigh in to. I would schedule with cardio for a check in. once they rule out bone stuff need to get to the bottom of it.. was it thoracic aortic aneurysm that he was concerned about? Heart symptoms can be very vague and fleeting. Are you doing any new exercise? Does it hurt with movement or if you change position? Heart history? high blood pressure? Family history? Do you take a daily aspirin?

I work for the Army, and yes they can force me to pay up to, and including, wage garnishments or taking it out of any Federal tax refund I may be eligible for. The rules that apply to private sector employers don’t apply to the Federal sector.

My bff works for the airforce... there r lots of rules... I get it

Glad you are healing up

Yes! Thoracic aortic aneurysm is what he said. I did have an EKG in Sept and it was normal. No new exercises. Yes to hurts with movement. Mainly flipping over in bed and getting up in the morning. It catches and is painful…but, once I make the flip, it goes away and I can rest. Doesn’t seem to bother me during the day, but I can move and sort of feel a dull ache, but not the sharp pain when on my side in bed.

No HBP, have done a couple of stress tests and the Nuke x-ray thing for my heart. All good, but there is family history….No to the daily aspirin but I do take Zinc and other vitamins…

Yeah man. I remember that shit from when I was in. I hope you’re able to document everything and that they find someone else at fault.

This does not sound like you were to blame.

I don’t remember how everything worked in the army in terms of who might be at fault, but you’re a diligent hard worker, so I know that you will be fine.

Sounds like maybe tendinitis.

I am not a doctor, but I play one on TV. (And I DID stay at a Holiday Inn express last night).

Will kegals help? I’m a guy. But I did some damage riding my bike. The urologist sent me to physical therapy where they walked me through 3 types of kegal exorcises. I still go to sleep around 10 but often don’t wake up until after the sun is up.
Very annoying exorcises to me. It took a lot of perseverance to keep it up. I didn’t see or feel results for 10 or 12 weeks. Now I really like the results and try to fit them in daily. I wasn’t feeling old, but oh to feel young again! Who knew.

Thanks for the advice. I will ask my urologist.

I didn't scroll down, and I thought the second part of that was going to be she's still broke cuz it's my $50
